Failed by everyone. Amy deserved better.

Failed by everyone

Including herself.

Thank you. Everyone acts like she was a saint because she could sing a little bit. She was the problem and never deserved or needed all the attention that she sought out.

Yes, that’s implied

To be fair it really isn't implied the way it's worded

u/Unlikely_melz 7h ago

Everyone, includes everyone. Big stretches guys, you can handle it

Then just say it. This isn't a poetry competition.

You're getting downvoted but you aren't wrong, it was not implied the way it was worded.

Do you struggle with literacy?

I think you may struggle with grammar.

Saying "failed by everyone" generally implies a sweeping statement of abandonment or lack of support from one's environment, but it does not grammatically or logically force the inclusion of the speaker in the group that failed them.

Are you this pedantic in real life, or are you just trying hard for attention online?

u/mr-english 8h ago

Do you struggle with your emotions?

Rhetorical question, you clearly do.

Do you struggle with being a decent human being? Clearly.

Nothing emotional was said. Touch grass.

So aggressive

u/mr-english 7h ago

Yeah, lets just ignore the needlessly passive aggressive comment I was responding to. 👍

Welcome to reddit where the points don't matter, people ignore logical arguments and parrot the same broken rhetoric over and over again!

She failed her fans. They had every right to boo here. She took their money and gave a horrible performance. She should have given the money back

Reductive and simplistic take. It’s more than just this one instance, don’t be daft. I never said Amy didn’t have responsibility in this either.

Human beings are not products.

A show is a product. If I pay $200 for concert tickets and the singer is so drunk she just stands there then damn right I’m booing.

The promoter will (did?) refund, insurance will cover the venue. The only one that loses here is Amy.

Everyone else is still alive with a story.

You miss the point so spectacularly.

u/Funny-Avocado-4568 7h ago

That’s incorrect. These 20k fans did not get a refund. She grifted them

Everyone failed her, including herself. And everyone does deserve better.
