Never heard of him / her - but it's a good bet they were personally curated for this concert by the Beats brothers.
True, I don't think anyone really knows how she sounds live, I don't think she ever sang a single note on stage; all pre recorded pre processed vocals. Her Vegas show is all dancing and special effects, but artists have to scale down those things in iTunes , so I wonder what she'll do
Yeah, no ... I don't have to wait - TOTALLY dislike rap/hip-hop and you can put that trailer park girl in the same dislike category.

Rap/Hip-Hop (1 artist on the lineup) and Britney Spears make up only 20% of the total line-up.
Alicia Keys, Bastille, Calvin Harris, Elton John, Michael Bublé, OneRepublic, Robbie Williams and The 1975 are performing too and offer a wide variety of music.
I could understand your whining if it was 70% of 1 genre but it's clearly not.
Wow. Not my musical taste, but Elton John and Michael Buble are pretty big ticket. Surprised on both being here.
[doublepost=1472129044][/doublepost]For a split sec I thought it said Robin Williams. Now THAT would be innovation....Delorean, flux capacitor and all that.

Well she did just finish a huge multi-year Vegas residency and will headline the VMAs this year. She also has a new album coming out and was on Kimmel just a couple weeks ago. If that's "irrelevant" then where does that leave you?

Whatever we've said, whatever we've done we didn't mean it. We just want him back for good.
Lol yeah. AC/DC w/ Axl (actually heard it wasn't that bad, he showed up on time and everything!) and I think we'll have to babystep to Slipknot....maybe Stone Sour first
.
He's a musical legend, well regarded by almost everyone. What do people remember that you've worked on?
He was and still is one of the biggest entertainers of all time, same for Billy Joel. You may not like him, but to call a living legend who still tours a has been is a bit dismissive, no?
Paul McCartney still brings down the house as well, is that a has-been?
OneRepublic is at the top of their game right now. I believe Chance The Rapper is fairly well known with hip hop/rap fans, I've heard of him from non-music things he's done. And like people have said, Elton John and Britney Spears are "living legends" amongst their fans, and Sir Elton is practically British royalty, perfect for the London setting. Oh, and Michael Buble sells out huge venues EVERYWHERE. Alicia Keys also has a huge fan base. I think it's a pretty good lineup.
Hah, I agree 100%. I was lucky enough to get along to one (or maybe two) in the very early days when they had some decent acts. Now it's all mainstream stuff.
I am surprised about the negative Elton John comments. I never saw him perform, but I bet it is good.
I am just curious, who would you like to see? Brittney? Chance the Raper? Just wondering.
Depends on your musical taste. They've had more bands (and more interesting bands) in previous years - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Music_Festival
Well, of course he wouldn't be my first pick. Music is so subjective, and people like who they like.
But to call him a has-been is a little much I think. That is why I was curious who the poster would rather have play in Elton John's place.
