Nothing on her schedule from Aug 28 to Sept 25. Kinda makes you wonder if she doesn’t care for Dayton. She can make it from Birmingham to Burlington in 3 days.

We are a fly-over state according to Diva’s and other acts, easily canceled.

Based on the last time I heard her sing on TV, she did Dayton a big favor by canceling.

If she thinks she is too good for Dayton, she’s wrong. Dayton is too good for her.

My guess is her handlers decided the market for ticket sales was not strong enough here. There is little market here for performers long passed their popularity at high dollar ticket prices. The proper venue for her would be Fraze.

Wasn’t her Mom in some movie, like Gone With The Wind or whatever?

Fabulous! Just Fabulous! I finally get to see one of my idols and she cancels. I hope the b!t&h looses her voice. Not really but I am so upset that the show is cancelled I think I’ll just cry!

Let me set some of you who made idiot comments straight.An entertainer will play anywhere if you pay them money and I mean anywhere,and futhermore when any major act is booked they get a certain percentage[usually 50%]before they come to town and the other before they hit the stage to protect them from the promotor saying” I didnt make the money so I cant pay you” This happened to entertainers in the early days all the way up to the late sixties.

Who IS this lady & why should we pay big money to see her? Per Google this person is 64! Only a dirty old man would want to see a REALLY old lady limping around a BIG stage. The replacement should be a teenager. I’m always right about everything so trust me on this.

Heck, surely we can find some skinny person with bad hair, big lips(no, not Mick Jagger) and a huge vibrato to sing badly on stage! Support local artists! Haha Liza=Looza

Roanoke is in the middle of nowhere with a wimpy airline service. She probably couldn’t schedule out of there quickly enough following a night show to get into Dayton in a timely manner for a show the next night.

I was old enough to see her mother, Judy Garland, sing at the ol’ Tempelhof Beer Garden in 1943…

At first, I thought “who cares and then I thought wow, somebody else knows Dayton is going down the tubes and then I thought maybe she’ll come to Dayton if we have TRAIN SERVICE! lmao!

The last time I saw Liza was in “The Act” in NYC and she lip-synched. It was truly a sad performance. If you really want to pay good money (and you girls who know who she is should!) simply go to Indy and then hit the bars there.

So what this really means is that 6 people in dayton won’t be able to go to this show. Why is this even news? She is a half wit talentless hack.

From reading these posts it’s easy to see the ones that think Brittney Spears has talent and the ones that wouldn’t know talent if it hit them in the head. May be a generation gap thing.
