Adele stops gig to blast audience member filming

[Ross.]

When you consider tickets to Adele’s London concerts were being sold for upwards of £24,000, you would think fans inside the venue would be making the most of every single moment with the singer.

As with at all concerts, many onlookers took the opportunity to film Adele performing in Verona, something that upset the multimillionaire.

“I want to tell that lady as well, can you stop filming me with a video camera because I'm really here in real life,” she told one audience member.

“Could you take you take your tripod down? This isn’t a DVD, this is a real show and I’d really like you to enjoy my show because there are lot’s of people who couldn’t come in.”

Um @ someone having a tripod :umm2:

[andybigbro]

Lol at someone filming her telling off someone for filming

[RichardG]

if the tripod was in the way or blocking someone else's view or whatever then she should definitely be made to take it down but otherwise i think it's a bit mean to call her out like that, even if taking a tripod to a concert is silly :laugh:

[Firewire]

It's against the law to film it though

[Ross.]

She's hardly going to be a fan if she's standing behind a bloody tripod for the whole show either

[Withano]

Imagine bringing a tripod to a gig though

[_Tom_]

It's illegal to film with professional equipment. Apparently the tripod woman was going to make copies and sell them. Good on Adele for calling her out :clap1:

[Crimson Dynamo]

poor vanessa

:worry:

[Mystic Mock]

It's against the law to film it though

Just because it's against the law doesn't mean that it's correct for it to be that way.

Imo I find it annoying seeing people Film in Concerts because they should just enjoy being there rather than Filming it for other people to see so that they get mammoth views on Youtube.

However Adele has come off like an egotistical dick here who thinks that she can preach to her fans now because she's a massive star.

:joker: wtf

[Firewire]

Anyway

[Firewire]

To be fair the girl was standing holding a tripod

[Jack_]

The sentiment is right but it was a little harsh

[Shaun]

It takes a very sensitive soul to get butthurt over what she said.

[Ross.]

It takes a very sensitive soul to get butthurt over what she said.

I can always count on you

[Tom4784]

I despise it when people are more preoccupied with filming then they are with actually enjoying what they've paid to see.

No point trying to preserve a moment if you're not going to be apart of it.

[Crimson Dynamo]

whats is worse is that concerts are only good if you are there as in general they sound a lot worse than say a CD so to try and watch back a video of one?

:umm2:

[Mokka]

It takes a very sensitive soul to get butthurt over what she said.

This

[Marsh.]

I thought she seemed a little harsh until she mentioned the tripod. :umm2: Bitch needs to not blatantly try to squeeze Adele out of her DVD sales.

[Crimson Dynamo]

the sooner they ban ALL phones from concerts the better

[Marsh.]

Why wasn't the woman pulled up by staff at the venue anyway?

Does it really take the performer to tell her to take a tripod down? :laugh:

[Niamh.]

the sooner they ban ALL phones from concerts the better

:clap2:

[Mokka]

I don't get where people are reading her for being harsh and bitchy... she was frank, and genuine imo...and didn't do a thing wrong. She didn't even belabour the point... she just said her piece and dropped it.

[Marsh.]

I thought it was harsh if she was calling that one woman out for filming when there were dozens of other people with their phones in the air.

But when it became apparent she had quite the setup going then it made sense. :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

yes it was the fact she had a grip and sound guy helping her that tipped adele over the edge

:joker: wtf

Would she have confronted this audience member if she was an unknown? Think about it before posting inane stuff such as this.

[Marsh.]

Would she have confronted this audience member if she was an unknown? Think about it before posting inane stuff such as this.

:conf: Eh?

Would she have an audience watching her on tour if she was an "unknown"? :umm2:

Think about it before posting inane stuff such as this.

[Ross.]

Would she have confronted this audience member if she was an unknown? Think about it before posting inane stuff such as this.

Well no as why would an audience member set up a ****ing tripod to film an unknowns concert

[Braden]

Well it's pretty obvious that some people in this thread don't like Adele :p

I always think it's a bit odd when singers go out of their way to call people out in their concerts (Jessie J comes to mind), but I feel that it was appropriate of her to mention this because it is quite ignorant for someone to literally set up a tripod and film the entire thing. What's the point in going in the first place? This person could've just bought the DVD. That's if her intention was to not flog and make money from it.

[Mystic Mock]

:conf: Eh?

Would she have an audience watching her on tour if she was an "unknown"? :umm2:

Think about it before posting inane stuff such as this.

Duh of course she would as every singer in the world has an audience member listen to their Music.

So I'll repeat myself again "Think about it before posting inane stuff such as this."

[Mystic Mock]

Well no as why would an audience member set up a ****ing tripod to film an unknowns concert

No but you can make money off Concerts through other Filming methods even if it's a lot harder to do so.

[Shaun]

is it not just taken as read that mock+music=madness, by now?

[Marsh.]

Duh of course she would as every singer in the world has an audience member listen to their Music.

So I'll repeat myself again "Think about it before posting inane stuff such as this."

So therefore she wouldn't be "unknown" would she? :nono:

Also, she wouldn't have people trying to film her shows and flogging them if she wasn't as famous so it's not comparable.

[Mystic Mock]

is it not just taken as read that mock+music=madness, by now?

Why does it? Because I don't stan people that I don't even know just for the sake of it? Or is it because of the fact that I actually judge these people on their actions and their Music rather than being biased on their looks or their past glories?

People just like to be sheep instead of actually questioning the "popular" people/groups instead of doing what some of us do and that's actually think for ourselves and actually have interesting Music tastes and opinions on people's actions that aren't desperately cloning their "friends" who aren't really very good friends if they won't accept your real opinions in the first place.

If this was Nicki Minaj or Ariana Grande this topic would be much more divided, but because it's angelic Adele that's confronted the person it's not ego related at all, and anyone that's against it is apparently mad now.

[Marsh.]

It's no different to someone filming a movie in the cinema for their own monetary gain.

Chill yourself Mock and don't let your dislike of Adele cloud the obvious.

[Mystic Mock]

Mock I think you should stop branding our posts inane and look at your own :hee:

Of course my posts are inane, that's why people deliberately quote them to disagree with me even if they secretly agree with me.:joker:

[Pete.]

Legend Adele just didn't want that Love in the Dark exclusive performance leaked

[Mystic Mock]

It's no different to someone filming a movie in the cinema for their own monetary gain.

Chill yourself Mock and don't let your dislike of Adele cloud the obvious.

Tbh of all of the **** that's going on in the world right now I honestly don't give a **** if a multimillionaire loses a few hundred thousand pounds or dollars (which is like pocket money to these people) by some people who are making a slight profit off of their material.

Is it dodgy what the Pirate is doing? Yes, is it criminal? Yes, but it's also pure greed when these Singers or Film Studios moan about losing £300,000 out of their overall £4million they've probably made off of the material due to Piracy.

And I don't dislike Adele, if anything I'm a bit indifferent to her as a person and I find her Music slightly dull, but nothing to moan about, I'm just actually doing this thing called an opinion that's different to TIBB's very odd ways of viewing the world which is wayyy too black and white which not everybody can follow the rules all of the time.

Whether they're a multi-millionaire or not isn't really the point.

You just sound like a jealous fool.

I'm sorry but if they've made a profit off of the product anyway I have less sympathy for them than someone that's actually struggling in life.

[Marsh.]

But, again, that's not the point.

One of my neighbours has three cars to himself and I doubt would be "struggling in life" if he lost one. But that doesn't make it ok for someone with no cars to steal one, does it? :crazy:

[Ross.]

That's totally irrelevant though Mock, this isn't about your sympathy for Adele. :unsure:

Why should Adele lose out? Just because she's rich doesn't mean this is okay

[Jack_]

Mock's posts are usually crazy but he raised a good point. If this was anyone other than Adele, especially a male singer, the reaction would not be the same

If it were Bieber people would be peddling the 'isn't he such a twat' line again

[Mystic Mock]

But, again, that's not the point.

No it doesn't, but if he had a Car Business and lost a Car while it's sad and disgusting that someone stole one of his Cars, it honestly isn't as bigger deal to me as someone that's probably struggling to keep their home and they was gathering money together to save their home, and then someone robbed their money and that person lost their home, that's more tragic to me as they've not just lost a profit, but have also essentially lost their life.

can someone tell me again what he is on about?

It's not like people haven't been hypocrites on here before has it?:crazy:

But no one's asking you to make it a bigger deal than someone losing their home?

She took 10 seconds out to ask them to take the camera and tripod down because it's not on. End of.

[Marsh.]

It's not like people haven't been hypocrites on here before has it?:crazy:

Yeah, and you're the biggest one.

Hey we've agreed quite a few times lately.:nono::laugh:

[Jack_]

It's not that I disagree with what she said, or even that she said it, just the way she did

But then again the woman is filming her on a bloody tripod so idk, I don't really care tbh...how is this even news?

I don't know who it includes, just that it would definitely happen from some people

[Mystic Mock]

Yeah, and you're the biggest one.

Now I know you're just wanting to argue on me for the sake of it.

Point out in my entire history on this Forum when I've been a hypocrite? I bet you won't even be able to find an example on this thread.:hehe:

..I honestly don't think that it was about money, Mock...money that could potentially be made from the lady videoing her...I think it's more that her performance was being watched through a camera screen...which is a crazy thing to do when someone is lucky enough to be able to watch a live performance..and also very inconsiderate for all around her as well, to have a camera and tripod set up, which is very distracting and would mean some restrictions in movement of those close to her as well I would have thought..I thought she was quite gracious actually and slightly jokey about it but also pointing out that many people didn't have tickets who would have liked to..so to just enjoy what she had paid to watch....

[Ross.]

I feel I should've put this in serious debates

[Mystic Mock]

Do you mean when I've supported a lot of Males that do Rock and Indie? Yes how shallow of me.

Off to round 2 of clutching at straws for you Marsh.:hee:

I get what you're saying Ammi, and I agree that it would be annoying and distracting if someone was filming at the concert.

But this woman did actually pay to go to her concert so it's not like she's robbed Adele of her profit, and also sometimes controversially piracy can be a good thing because not every country has it easy to access foreign Music so if they catch this "illegal" copy of Adele's performance and they really like it they will become avid fans that will buy her Music.

We don't even actually know if this was down to a piracy issue.

Adele seemed more concerned that it was distracting the enjoyment of the woman and the people around her.

As she said, there's plenty other people who wanted to come in and couldn't so seeing as she's paid and got in, she might as well enjoy it as best she could.

[Mystic Mock]

Not you being a music snob.

How hypocritical of you.

I've never attacked anyone for having preferences in Music genres so how the **** does that make me a hypocrite?:umm2:

All I've ever said is that the person is actually competent within their Music genre instead of people just supporting solely off the fact that they do the genre that they like whilst they can't sing or perform.

If anything I've always been of the opinion that Music should be like this.

Most important - Genre
Second most important - Performance
Third most important - Vocal
The least important - Looks

...but everyone else at the concert paid as well though, Mock and she paid to watch the concert only../that's kind of the deal..:laugh:.....and for many that would be a once in a lifetime experience, so there was no consideration for them if her tripod was restricting their movement...would they have been able to dance and enjoy their evening or be worried of damaging the recording equipment..?...

I've not said that Adele was in the wrong, all I've said is that she's only got ballsy because she's a big star now.

[Braden]

I guess if we're discussing her wanting the woman to truely enjoy herself then I suppose I can understand the other side of the argument. This woman was hardly going to enjoy the rest of the concert being the sole person to be scolded in a room full of thousands of people.

Not that I'm fully against the way she handled it. Just balancing the argument a bit :p

[Ammi]

....hmmm, I don't really see anything she did or said as ballsy, Mock... I thought that she was quite gracious with the tripod thing..and always seems like a very down to earth and quite humble lady to me...even with her huge successes...

I thought that!

"I want you to enjoy my concert so... I'm going to humiliate you in front of everyone[emoji23]"

But I suppose if you're going to have the cheek to set up a tripod, you should expect that it'll be noticed and the performer might be angry about it.

Yeah, I agree with that. It is strange that someone felt the need to set up a tripod and film the concert instead of just enjoying it in the first place.

..I also think that someone who is so lacking in self awareness and so self absorbed as to set up the tripod/videoing equipment like she did, probably doesn't become devastated very easily..so I'm not sure how much embarrassment she would have felt...:laugh:../poor Adele, turning tripods during her performance...

More to the point, who would go to an Adele concert? Like what would you do, sway back and forth a few times?

Yeah that's also very true. It is very selfish to decide to set one up when there isn't much space to begin with. It may have caused an obstruction like you mentioned.

I low-key want Adele to write a song about tripods for her next album now :p

[Denver]

Adele should have got off stage and lamped the ugly bitch

[Jake.]

Any counter argument against Adele is, quite frankly, ridiculous. She was filming with a tri-pod ffs, she's lucky not to have been kicked out.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Adele should have pushed her over

[Mokka]

Yeah that's also very true. It is very selfish to decide to set one up when there isn't much space to begin with. It may have caused an obstruction like you mentioned.
