Will Britney Spears perform at this year's MTV VMA Awards?

Great question. One thing though - If she performs a live performance, is shown in the audience, and is a presenter how does the question settle?

Take note of the word "only".
- Britney only appears as a presenter
- Britney is only shown as an audience member

I think the common sense rule may be valid for settling this question, however I am afraid the settlement may be contested if she is shown in the audience and is a presenter.

I have flagged for review and suspended this market in hopes it can be clarified before much more $H is invested in it.

This is an excellent question and is a great example of the challenges faced when creating questions.

I think a clarification in the settlement details can save this question. it should be something along the lines of "A combination of blue and purple options will settle as blue".

I hope this will help. It's hard to make sure every detail is covered.

if she presents or is in the audience i hardly think that would be considered performing

To settle as yes, this question would require a performance - either live at the venue or by satellite - of Britney singing a song, NOT only her presenting an award or being shown to be in the audience.

Market will be settled if there is an announcement that Britney is going to perform - should circumstances change and she not perform on the day, there will be a resettlement.

I am more confused than before. Maybe if the question read what will Brittney do at this years VMA's, then the options would make sense. But question asks if she will perform, but there are options for just sitting in the audience. I suggest that since there is time before this event occurs, we get the question cleaned up and options made easier to understand.
I think there are two options for this market:
1 - Will Brittney perform either Live or via Satellite during the VMA award ceremony. With yes/no option.
2 - What role will Brittney play at this years VMA's. With option for performing song in person, performing song via satellite, having a performance that was pre-recorded played, being a presenter, being a comedy skit, just being in audience, then have option that is covering two or more of the events, and finally an option that says Brittney isn't a part of the VMA's in any way, not even attending.

Tishia maybe instead of settling the question if she is announced Suspend it so if she bails on it people wont get confused and you guys will not have to resettle
