re: MIRANDA LAMBERT calls out these iPhone people at her show

I've noticed over the past several years that these pop concerts are just too perfect, like they were canned for production a few weeks earlier. Lambert is a paid entertainer . I not a fan of hers or Trailer Swit,or Bouncie and I don't think I have ever heard one song of theirs and really don't care, this is not music in my opinion.
Been to many rock concerts and now days I much prefer a symphony or something like ELO or RUSH.

People care more about taking pics to show that they are there than they care about actually being there.

I remember going to see the Weeknd in New Orleans and all the young women were more concerned with taking selfies than the actual concert. Sat in behind a young couple and the guy was trying to enjoy the show but his girl kept taking selfie after selfie and trying to get him too also. Felt bad for the dude.

Everyone here complaining about these women taking selfies have all taken selfies in public. You are all hypocrites. Your selfie had a flash. Your selfie had people around. Your selfie was very similar to the selfie these women took. However, by some twisted logic, since your selfie wasn't at a concert it was acceptable and this selfie was not. Why? because ML is an artist? Does the flash affect her more than the people in the area where you took your selfie? Does the flash make the music sound different? What are these imaginary selfie rules?

If I’m at a concert and my view of the stage is you in front of me with your phone stuck up in the air, that’s incredibly selfish. Be considerate of those behind you.

That's not what happened here

That’s depressing

That's pretty embarrassing. As if any one of them ever watched that video again.

the most appalling thing to me in this thread is what a terrible singer Lambert is, if she and Yoko Ono did a duet it would scar people for life

People are so damn hyper sensitive these days. You act selfish, you get called out like you should, and then you cry and whine about getting called out and threaten to boycott.

How about not being a selfish arse

Are you talking about the singer? Because she was the most selfish one in this ordeal. She was legit whining that people weren't watching her sing, which is embarrasing.

How about not being a selfish arse and being all up in the way and disrupting those behind you?

There was no one behind them, now what?

Just put your phone down dammit

I don't keep mine up the whole time, but I've never been bothered by others who do. This is a you thing. You're just a grumpy old man. Try to do better.

These women are indicative of the times. It wasn't just one or two quick selfies. It was a whole damn photo shoot. They cared more about their Instagram posts than the concert they were supposed to be watching. That's one of the reasons I hate going to crowded places, especially live music venues.

In other words, people suck. And stay off my lawn.
