Reportedly Neyo didn't show up for a show somewhere in Maryland and the people where Neyo was suppose to be performing got mad and sued Neyo. I don't know the ins and outs of show business but i know i would not want to have to give anybody not one red penny of my money. If I didn't show up well so what. Trying to rip him off. It should be against the law it's not like he's a lip singer with no talent. It's Neyo for pete sakes. I bet they wouldn't do that s@#— to Barbara Streisand.
Why should singer Neyo have to pay...it's not his fault

That's breach of contract.
Because believe it or not these things are NOT just done with a handshake and a smile, there is actual legal paperwork involved.
Plus was he paid ahead of time for the concert?

With this happening I'd have to seriously wonder what this says about his loyalty to the fans.

If this performer had given some advance notice of this no-show, the venue may have been able to book some other act or acts, or even just tell the event staff not to come to work that night. Also, concessionaires have paid fees to the venue management (and to Neyo's management as well) for the right to sell licensed merchandise on premises during the event; these fees must be refunded too.
I bet they wouldn't do that s@#— to Barbara Streisand.
WTF is that about, Danese?? Are you implying that this lawsuit is racially/culturally motivated? Hogwash. This isn't about race or culture, it's about good business practices (or lack thereof) and legal contractual obligations on the part of the performer and his/her management. Would you post links to any articles concerning this? More detail would be appreciated. Posting this as news with no more detail than you have is considered "bad form".

sometimes things unexpectedly happen
In cases of the unexpected, managers/booking agents must act quickly in order to limit liability for their principal, the performer. That is part of their job.
Contracts are legally binding. Without legal protections for all parties to a contract, our system of business, indeed our entire economy, would devolve into chaos.
...people sueing you for a fender bender and they fake being hurt.
No, that is fraud, and as such is a crime. Your statement comes close to an accusation of criminal fraud on the part of the venue's managers/owners. As I said before, this discussion requires more detail on the incident.

From the comments already made by the seeder, I seriously doubt that any additional information will be forth coming.

Danese,
What are the circumstances that he didn't do the performance. If it is a ligitimate reason (illness, family emergency, etc.) then, in most cases he should notify his agent and the promoter to find a substitute or work out an alternate date for the performance.
If he just didn't show up then that could fall into some contractual legal issues. Not only to the promoter but to the fans as well.

that's why Neo should not have to pay. If I was him I would appeal it all the way to chancery court if I had tol. I wouldn't accept it. He has natural talent. You can't make somebody with a talent like that pay for not appearing. He's an artist not a performer. Barbara Streisand is a perforfmer.

ROTFLMMFAO!!!!!!
So if let's say a Barry Sanders or a Micheal Jordan just really didn't feel like playing one season in the middle of his contract, he shouldn't be held liable for not playing? After all with a "talent" like that...................

What in the blazing blue hells does talent have to do with contractual obligation?? Your characterization of Barbra Streisand as any less a talent than Neyo is purely biased and uninformed personal opinion. Call me in thirty years or so. We'll see if he stands the test of time. And record sales.

The Barbra Streisand alalogy is lost. You may think she's a great artist but that is your opinion. My opinion is the opposite. This isn't about who has talent and who doesn't. It's about this Neyo possibly skipping town with these peoples money.

Ok you found the definition of "contract". But each contract contains different information. The contract I signed when I joined the Army contains items that state that if I don't fulfill everything agreed upon then I could be sent to prison.
Neyo's contract more than likely contains something about what his responsibilities are and what the promoters responsibilities are in regards to cancellations or delays. Since nobody really know's why he didn't show or exactly what his contract with the promoter states then it's all speculation.
