but the dancing sort of sucked on the FF tour :/

[Harry!]

It was like being at the theatre with all the dynamic sets and imagery. I found her dancing great. It was one of the best concerts I have ever gone to.

Producer Anthony Preston Tweeted he and Sandy Vee crafted a song for Album 8 and hope it makes the final cut.

Just had another listen to a co-prod me and @sandyveeNYC are workin up for @britneyspears. I hope @iamwill likes this **** as much as I do!

Anthony Preston's worked closely with David Guetta, and produced songs for Christina Milian, Brian Lee, will.i.am, Nicole Scherzinger, LMFAO, Lil Wayne, FloRida, Cutfather, Paris Hilton, Natasha Bedingfeld and Jennifer Hudson. Sandy Vee co-produced Rihanna’s "Only Girl (In the World)", “Firework” by Katy Perry, and 8 songs on the David Guetta album One Love.

Vegas industry producers doubt Britney has what it takes to hold her own.

"My gut tells me she doesn't have the goods to deliver on a consistent basis," said Adam Steck, who has five shows in town and the upcoming Boyz II Men, reports LVRJ.

Steck believes the Vegas rumors are a "a big PR ploy" to distract audiences from her X Factor exit.

Steck added the $200 million deal "could add up if sweetened with other things like club appearances and merchandising deals. There's a rumor that Hakkassan (the Angel Management Group's nightclub in the works at MGM Grand) may be involved."

"You're rolling the dice. This is not Celine Dion," said Joey Battig, who tried to sign Whitney Houston to a Planet Hollywood Resort deal in 2009.

Rumors blazed last week claiming Britney signed a $200 million deal at Caesar's Palace's Colosseum, but insiders told BreatheHeavy.com it's not the case. All fingers point to Planet Hollywood's 7,000 capacity stadium instead.

"The beauty of that (Planet Hollywood Resort) room," said Battig, "is that you can curtain it off to 4,000 seats and expand if you sell more. I would bet they are guaranteeing her maybe half if she goes over 4,000."

"But I would only book her for Friday and Saturday. I think she would do 2,000 to 2,500 on a Friday or a Sunday; 4,000 on a Saturday."

It is thought Britney could receive $450,000 a night if she performs.

"I wouldn't guarantee her more than $150,000 a night, but I'd say, 'Roll the dice with me on the back end,' " Battig said. "We were guaranteeing Whitney $450,000 a night, three nights a week for a year. That's $1.3 million a week, $43 million a year."

That means Britney performs five shows a week for 32 weeks a year at an average ticket price of $150 to make $100 million, Battig said.

Battig thinks "it's a crap shoot" when it comes to signing Britney. A producer "has his head on the chopping block every night. If someone doesn't show up, you can give the (refunds) back, but you can't recoup those numbers."

Other costs most likely include $25,000 a night in rental for the venue, and $100,000 a week in advertising.

"Then you've got stagehands, lighting, sets, catering, limos, handlers and entourages. Pre-production on the show would be $1 million," Battig said. "Planet Hollywood has never done a big headliner because the risks are so high."

Sources connected to Planet Hollywood tell BreatheHeavy another problem in the bidding war is getting Britney to agree to sing live.

"I wouldn't take that risk."

He wouldn't, but many would and are.

Producer Bangladesh, who's worked with Beyonce and Rihanna to Lil’ Wayne and Nicki Minaj, says he's fallen victim to particular artists pressuring him to give up writer/producer credits, but not Britney.

He tells ThatGrapeJuice.net:

Man, that’s the game and that’s just how it is. You got to be a big artist when you can ask and demand something like that, but it happens. It’s not always a bad thing though because sometimes producers give beats away to no-name artists too (for no credit).

Then, sometimes if it’s an Usher or Beyonce type of act, you’re ok with giving it away because if they sing over your song, they’re going to bring great attention to it.

Producers don’t mind giving CERTAIN artist the credit. But, it’s mostly African Americans that do that kind of stuff. I hate to say it, but it’s true. I know people that have written for Britney Spears and different people that are in the pop world, and they don’t ask for that kind of stuff. Britney don’t ask for ****. If you wrote it, you just wrote it. She sings it and leaves.

good old humble Brit .. the beyonce shade, her rusty crown is slipping fast..

Hit-boy speaks about working on a 'new sound' for Britney

"I'm bringing my world to her world," Hit-Boy tells MTV News of his work for Britney.

"Britney is amazing... she's been around for years and she's going to continue to do her thing. I want to show people I'm not just a hip-hop producer, I'm not just in the urban world… I'm a music maker in general; I can make quality stuff no matter what it is."

"She's really nice and cool, nothing different from working with anyone else. She's just a really cool person."

Hit-Boy's infusing hip-hop with pop and making a new sound for her. So far their just brainstorming, but "it's coming together."

a pop/hiphop sound would be great!
