Lady Gaga canceled her appearance at the hotel with just 24 hours notice.

Gaga’s camp claimed she was fighting exhaustion and dehydration late Thursday night when they pulled her gig at Purdue University in Indiana (where her two opening acts had performed before there was word she wouldn’t be coming on). They used the same excuse the next day for Gaga’s New Jersey show but — no shocker here — the singer was well enough to appear live on “Oprah” that very afternoon.

“This is what happens when spoiled rich girls become entertainers,” one disgruntled fan wrote on her official Web site. “They don’t care about anything but themselves.”

Atlantic City has most definitely been home to a great many musical acts and spectacles but few are as exciting as the upcoming event featuring the “Dynamic Duo” of Lady Gaga and Jason Derulo. This is certainly going to be one of the most - pardon the pun - dynamic events to hit the city in a long time. Those that love a diverse spectacle of music will definitely find it appealing.

Again, these are acts you will not want to miss.

Lady Gaga is known for her glam rock look that is a modernized version of the trend made famous in the 1970s. This is, by no means, an indication that her music is derivative. Quite the contrary, she brings a unique and brilliant sound to the event that fans will surely never forget. She is coming off a very successful world tour and a commercially strong selling CD. This will definitely translate into enthusiasm when she appears live on stage.

Jason Derulo has been a successful songwriter and he is now branching out in the music world with his own singing performance. Seeing him live on stage will certainly prove to be an unforgettable experience.

Kid Cudi’s supporting stint on Lady Gaga’s “Monster Ball” tour though has come to an end. The “Day ‘N’ Nite” rapper announced that he is pulling out of the tour due to time conflicts.In a statement released on Wednesday (Dec. 16), he explained his departure. “Kid Cudi has decided to take an early leave of absence from Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour, in order to balance his schedule surrounding the recording of his next album and acting commitments. Cudi does not want to disappoint his fans and will move forward with his individual show dates in December and throughout the month of January.”

The show will take place at the Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City on the Saturday evening of January 16, 2010.This event is going to be a huge hit,after being sold out in a record time of 10 minutes,people hardly doubt it. The show will start promptly at 8pm so don’t be late or you may miss out!

Mariah Carey is one of the best selling female artists of all time.This sexy diva is known for her sultry and dynamic vocal stylings. She is a five time Grammy Award winning artist and has the most number-one hits in the United States as a solo artist. Mariah collaborated with some of the hottest names in the music industry that include the likes of Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Kanye West, The Neptunes, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Not only is she a singer, but a writer and producer as well. Not that Ms. Carey is back on top of the music world, her concert during the week of January 2nd at Borgata was the most incredible so far. When she stood there and began singing the interlude to Daydream, that’s when the crowd knew it was in for a treat!

Mariah Carey was born and raised in Huntington, Long Island, New York. Music had a large influence on Mariah at an early age. She would listen to her mother practicing opera and soon began to imitate her. She began singing at the age of three and throughout her early teens would find herself skipping school to focus on music. After graduation from high school, she moved to New York City working part-time jobs to pay the rent. In 1998, Mariah finally got her big break when she met Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola. Mottola listened to a demo of Mariah’s work and soon signed her to a recording contract.

Mariah’s early success came with the release of her self titled debut album, where she co-wrote many of the tracks. Her debut album was a huge commercial success as it yielded four number-one singles and made Mariah an over night star in the United States. As the success of the debut album continued, Mariah would win Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Mariah’s career continued to roll and she received Billboard’s Artist of the Decade Award. Soon after, Mariah would depart from Columbia Records and sign with Virgin where she would sign a contract worth a reported $80 million. It was during this time that Mariah’s career would begin to take a turn in the opposite direction. She would find herself checking into a hospital suffering from an emotional and physical breakdown. Also during this time, Mariah would be panned by critics for her role in Glitter and the accompanying soundtrack of the same name.

Carey’s career was resurrected in 2005 with her tenth studio album release, The Emancipation of Mimi. Mimi was critically acclaimed and garnered Carey three Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song.

The diva was back and her career was skyrocketing her to a new level of fame. Mariah began The Adventures of Mimi Tour, which was the most successful tour of the career to date. Her personal life would also begin to shine as she met and married Nick Cannon. According to Mariah, she has never been more at ease with herself or more fulfilled in her life than she does at this point in her life.

Mariah’s latest album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, has already earned praise from critics and fans alike. Mariah would also receive much praise for her role in the critically acclaimed film, Precious. Mariah’s new tour features the diva at her best. Coming down from the ceiling on a swing with a beige dress she yet again proved that she is one of  the most beautiful, talented performer of all time, Mariah Carey!

Natalie Maria Cole is a musical prodigy, born of Nat King Cole and Maria Cole. She grew up in California and began performing when she was only eleven years old. It wasn’t long until she was all grown up and making her own albums. Twenty one of them to be exact.
Natalie made an appearance on Law and Order SVU, as well as Grey’s Anatomy. From the small screen to the big stage, she has never lost her talent. She even released a number of cover songs, and even collaborated with Dallas Austin on one of her albums. She is truly a tough act to follow, and one that many will try to imitate in the years to come. Whether or not they will succeed is a matter of opinion, though many say that there will never be another Natalie Cole.
To this day she continues to tour and shares her music with the entire world. There is almost no one on earth that doesn’t know her name, whether they heard a little bit of her music, or own the entire collection. No matter what it is, her music is known far and wide. Perhaps it is because she is the daughter of the famous Nat King Cole, but many would say that that she has moved out of his shadow and has made her own way in the music industry.
She will be performing Thursday December 31, 10:30 PM at the Tropicana Showroom. Tickets are limited, so make sure you know everything about the location, and make sure you get tickets for your family! Let’s talk a little about the Tropicana Casino.

It would be utterly impossible to run out of things to do here, especially with Natalie Cole performing here in December, all the way through to the new year.
