Beyonce Thinks She’s Too Bootylicious For Australia

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow… and around the same time, I also decided Pink is currently the best pop star in the world. Then I heard Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) and I was like, hang on a second! Maybe Beyonce is as good as Pink? But then I found out today Beyonce has put back her Australian tour and cancelled some shows. Given that Pink is midway through an eight thousand date tour of our fine country, it’s clear that Beyonce does not deserve our love.

From smh.com.au:

An “unforeseen change in her international schedule” was the old chestnut excuse given yesterday by the promoters for American R’n'B diva Beyonce, pictured, pushing back the start date of her Australian tour. The singer was due to start the tour in Brisbane on September 12 but will now play her first show in Australia in Melbourne on September 15. The date changes mean her original opening concert in Brisbane will now be on September 20 and a second show on September 13 has been cancelled.

For Sydney fans, the singer will now perform two shows instead of three at Acer Arena, on September 18 and 19. The September 20 show has been cancelled and holders of tickets to that show will be contacted by promoters this week about refunds. No further explanation was given for the change, but with the MTV Video Music Awards on September 13 in New York, an opportunity for the singer to perform or present may have won out over her Australian shows.

Pink would never do that to us. She loves us – and our wombats – too much.

In other news, I wish I was going to see Pink in concert. Stupid expensive tickets.
