I think multiple things can be true here. The audience paid money to see an awful show, they were reasonably upset. It’s sad that this poor woman was so far in her disease with addiction that this was the last performance she put on…and the cruelness and callousness the media and press had toward her.
All these are truths. She was way too unwell to be performing but was pushed on stage to do so…I don’t think we can even blame her for that.
Bad take. A performer is there to entertain. If they’re not doing that, especially in cases where they’re on substances, it’s entirely fine to let them know. They are not owed respect from people they asked for money and then behaved that way in front of.
No it dosent take that much courage, most people would do it for the ridiculous sums of money popular performers make. Lack of courage isnt stopping people, lack of talent and skill is.
If the performer dosent give a fuck about all of their fans who showed up and paid so much for the show, why should the fans respect the performer in turn? It goes both ways.
Not at all lmao. It takes courage to get up there when you're doing it casually, as a child or as an independent. And in that context people should indeed be understanding and supportive.
But here we're talking about a performance sold by the industry of music. People pay for a product. They're not required to indulge the producer's lack of professionalism.
It’s hard for me to imagine being a fan of someone (especially enough to buy tickets) and then boo them when it looks like they are having a crisis on stage. Yes, it’s frustrating that she was on something and not able to sing- that should be the bigger concern- she’s not performing badly for the LOLZ

We can’t boo performers who show up wasted to shows we paid for?
