Hi IFOXXX.
With respect, on this I disagree. The only reason, is user retainment.
Obviously during the Wireless Connect, we obtained a substantial amount of new users who largely are a RnB / Hip Hop / Rap fan base. We want to keep them so IMO changing genre and making a showcase of someone not fitting within this genre perhaps could have led to loss of users?
Nelly was a huge start, still has pulling power IMO and to offer the event as free, I'm sure will have kept solid user engagement from newly acquired users.
Completely agree on the A-List requirement.
MVR + LN are charging for the O2 Academy Series so we can rest assured that the artist/s will be substantial names. John Legend, who in his own right, a massive star, was free. So it's very fair to assume that anything they charge for, will be an artist in huge demand....
