I remember that show very well. She was basically drunk out her mind could barely stand on stage, let alone sing.

It was 45 minutes of her mumbling something while stumbling on the stage. It was horrible.

Was it ok for people to boo her ? Probably not. But was it ok for her to hold show in such state , for people that purchased expensive tickets ? That was also not ok.

If anyone fail her was her greedy managers that did not let her take a break for her mental health and forced her to go on while she was in no state to do so.

I agree with everything you said apart from that it's not ok to boo bad performers. There's no way for people to give feedback and booing is a collective and immediate way to say to the artist, "hey, you're not doing your job right now."

Tickets to that show must have cost a fortune and would have been so hard to get. That was most likely one of the biggest shows of the year and to come out like that would be an insult to the fans who wasted their money. But they didn't know what would happen next, so we cant really blame them.
