It seemed that the modern pop international superstars were not invited by either of the Big 5 pageants in recent years, but they invited artists from the past like Brian McKnight at Miss Earth 2018, Shontelle at Miss Earth 2017 & 2019, Neyo at Miss Universe 2018, Da Pump (popular Japanese boyband in the 1990s) at Miss International 2018, Sister Sledge at Miss World 2018 and Peter Andre & Lulu at Miss World 2019.
Do you think the high talent fee (at least US$100,000) prevented them from performing at any of the Big 5 pageants or is it the schedule conflicts could also be the reason?
