    First they had to deal with a terrorist attack that killed 22 and injured 100+, now they are forced to endure a benefit concert from Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry. Ariana Grande Concert: Manchester Benefit Includes Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus & More | Billboard[^] Haven't these poor people been exposed to enough tragedy?

      Good for them and nice of all the artists joining Ariana Grande. I hope they all have a good time and they get home safely. :thumbsup: :rose:

      I'd rather be phishing!

                    Given the events in Manchester, I am not going to joke about anyone being injured in any way. It's a great gesture from all of them and I hope the people who get to see it have a great time and take home some happy memories.

                          The attack happened after a Ariana Grande show where most/all fans were teen girls; let them have their charity concert with the artists that those teens like. Let them have this little bit of joy.

                            Never having actually listened to JB I do wonder how many people jump on the wagon and beat the guy up. Admittedly the only press I have ever seen is where he is being a prat but I have never had to see him perform.

                              You say in jest but it's a good point. If he was a black "gangsta" rapper or a white far-right politician they probably would citing criminal activity. If you're part of the lefty liberal dream though you can come right in.

                                        I've got retract all the hateful things I said about Ariana Grande. After the all the reports of her spending time in the hospital with the victims and the money she raised... She definitely has more maturity and heart than folks twice her age.
