It gets overboard sometimes, like Celine Dion's manager wouldn't let her perform here because our ticketing agency refused to let them charge $1000 a ticket.

Yep, couldn't have said it better myself. That's why we also saw almost a third of the VMAJ awards being won by western artists. At the same time, we do not see any Japanese artists attending VMA let alone win a single award. That's just the way it is. The story about Celine is just ridiculous.
