Singer Brandy (?) plays to 40 people in a 90,000 seat stadium. Who booked that mis match?

R&B singer Brandy cut short a gig in South Africa on Saturday after she was left playing to an empty stadium.

The star had been booked to appear at the First National Bank (FNB) Stadium in Johannesburg as part of the celebrations of Nelson Mandela Sport and Culture Day, which included the real football and rugby games as well as live music.

However, Brandy was left playing to a tiny crowd of around 40 people in the 90,000-capacity arena after taking to the stage at the end of the event, and she reportedly performed just two songs before walking off.

Reports suggest Brandy’s set was not properly advertized.

South African singer Kabomo, who was at the stadium, described the incident in a series of posts on his Twitter.com page, writing, “I have no words for what I just witnessed... Brandy performed to an empty stadium. With the stadium lights on. She sulked after two songs and walked off... It was late. People didn’t know there was a concert after the games. No one knew Brandy was around. Maybe a 40 people audience (sic)... There are more people there on a random Tuesday... Depressing.”

To bad this wouldn't happen to Justin Biever.

I don't know how long the set was to have been...but i think she missed an opportunity to turn it into something special for those 40 fans in honor of Mr Mandela's Cultural event......

I mean...you're there...why not? You are still getting paid...it could have really paid off since no one would have heard about this show if not for the poor attendance.

Gotta look for pictures of this NOW
