You do know that residencies have been going on for decades right? Britney likely went that route because they saw how successful Celine Dion was and it was more cost effective than touring. And before you say that Celine doesn't count because she wasn't a popular artist on the scene, she released several albums and went on world tours WHILE she was doin her residency.

If anything, I'd say Adele is following Celine's footsteps.

Britney made it a trend for young artist because artist at celeines age are there for retirement. Britney have Vegas a whole other value for entertainment. Understand that 💋

Britney is truly a legend!

Remember when everyone judged Britney for doing Vegas? Now they are lining up for residencies.

(And Yes I know Celine did it first, but Celine was at a very advanced stage in her career compared to Britney).

 

Um....Celine released her first English album in 1992 and started her residency in 2003 - 11 years into her career. This was also just 1 year after her multi-platinum album A New Day was released. Also, if Celine was in such an advanced stage in her career, she would not have paused her residency to go on a world tour that sold out across the world.

Britney's residency started in 2013, 14 years after her debut so you could argue that Britney was actually in a much further stage in her career.

Why that (awful) name? Is it related to some famous lyrics or something?

I don't think that's true for Celine, though... Maybe at that time her team or even she thought that it was time for her to retire but it was a new day beginning for her, plus she was relatively young and had still SO much to offer. She still does. What an amazing singer and performer...

This is way safer especially with this new strain of coivd going around. And boy oh boy Britney's impact is strong, these girls still wanna start residencies because of her, our girl 💕. 

That is technically INCORRECT as Celine Dion started in 2011.

Celine Dion is a LEGEND. That being said, her concerts in Vegas started in 2003. Her second residency started in 2011.  Through ought those years, she was always the major act in Vegas, and no young pop singer or "IT" celebrity joined. It was mostly her. 

Britney changed that. After Britney started her residency (and she was credited for revamping Vegas and attracting the young generation there), artists started lining up for residencies. It became a cool thing to have a residency, after it was considered only for older celebrities who are close to retire. Now, it is for everyone! Yes Celine was a huge Vegas success, but Britney changed Vegas once and for all, and it is nice to give her credit for that. 

There was a major article written on Britney's influence on Vegas, cant remember if it was Forbes or Vulture. 

 

Update: It was Vice: https://www.vice.com/en/article/ae5qj8/las-vegas-residencies-revived-britney-celine-dion 

Also this: https://medium.com/matter/miss-american-dream-31c823ad0e5a 

You do also realize that Vegas went through a MAJOR recession in the 2000's where hotels weren't being built and very few if any acts were being introduced right? Britney started her residency at the heels of Vegas' revitalization. There were hotels that were literally left half finished for almost a decade on the strip because of the market crash.

Additionally, the only reason nobody else was taking up a residency is because there was well, nobody to recruit. Who exactly would you have expected to start a residency before Britney?

-The Backstreet were broken up and releasing albums with missing members...

-Christina was on the voice and releasing mediocre albums

-N*Sync was disbanded and still is

-All the other IT girls were at the height of their careers so it would be a stupid move to move to Vegas. 

 

Vegas is and always will be where you go to "retire" or get away from the "mainstream" concert schedule. The only reason Britney has remained relevant post 2010 is because of her legal struggles and hit and miss hits. Let's be honest, Britney would NOT be able to fill arenas these days to a residency is her only option and others with the same decline are following suit. The only exception was always Celine...then again, they literally BUILT a concert venue for her show. Now THAT's what you call impact when a venue is built JUST FOR YOU. Britney just took up shop in a venue that was hardly being used.

Yes but her first album was all the way in 1981, 11 years before the 1992 English album. As she is an international star, her residency is 22 years into her career. 

Anyway, Celine had huge success in Vegas that started in 2003. But we didn't see residencies line up till after the success of Britney's residency in 2014. We didn't see artists lining up for Vegas between 2003 and 2014.

Britney broke attendance records in Europe and Asia in 2016 and 2018.

Young artists? Britney is nearing 40....what other "young" artists are you talking about? Britney was 32 when she started her residency....Celine was 35. So please enlighten me about this "younger" artist demographic. Literally all of the artists coming on to Vegas are in their 30's.

Talk to me when Taylor Swift or Ariana start a residency.

Maybe because there were no artists to line up between 2003 and 2014. Please give me a list of artists that could have had a residency between 2003 and 2014 that would have benefited from it?

-The Backstreet Boys (disbanded)

-Christina Aguilera (music career was practically dead)

-N*Sync (disbanded)

-Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Ke$ha (new to the scene and at the height of their careers)

-There are literally no other "young" artists who could have gone to Vegas.

So again, what exactly did Britney pioneer?

If you want to deny Britney's impact on Vegas, that is on you. But facts are facts, and big news and financial outlets discussed how Britney reshaped Vegas.

Thought we were here to talk about Adele’s residency, but instead it’s just a bunch of people complaining about the two artists with the most impact in Vegas. Typical. Media reports at the time suggested Britney was key in revitalising residencies for younger artists but I digress 

Good for Adele. I did wonder, as years ago she declared retirement from touring but that was before Sony forked out 10’s of mils for her contract. I think Vegas is a good setting for her. The schedules easier, easier to look after your vocals and time for her child too. She’s got a full enough roster of hits and album tracks to get good coin from this for a while. I cringe to think how expensive tickets will be though

As much as I adore Brit, let's not pretend like she was topping the charts in 2013 when she started hers
