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.

The woman who got told off must feel shame

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.

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

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.

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.

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 Ł300,000 out of their overall Ł4million 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.

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?

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

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

..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....

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.

...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.......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..?...

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

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

It's amazing how many people "know" what other people would post in a situation that hasn't happened.

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.
