I don't really like to see anyone upset
I don't know this girl, or anything about her really aside from the fact that she was in a successful pop group a decade ago, and had a brief solo career after that.
Assuming this video is recent, now she's got cameras following her as she tries to (re)launch her career for the express reason of catching her crying when she fails.
You can say what you want about fame-hungry, talent-vacuum media products, but I find the industry that's recently built up around documenting their falls from grace (or failures of ascension) disgusting.
Perhaps what's most distressing is that we (the TV-watching public) lap it up.
/rant :)

It's misguided is what it is.
Your sympathy, that is.
Are you externalising deep-rooted stuff there?

yes, it's true. I always wanted to be famous but daddy wouldn't send me to stage school :(
Why is it misguided? Is another human being in distress not deserving of my sympathy?

Ok, here we go...
I'm a plumber.
Sometimes I get wet at work, sometimes I don't.
When I get wet at work I don't post footage of myself getting upset about it on the interweb/tv/outside world.
I may well mutter "oh, bollocks. wet again, there's a fucking novelty, what with me being a plumber etc"
Then again, I may well not.
But just to remove any risk of ambiguity...
I don't whine about it on the interweb.
I'm positively bursting with dignity ;)

no-one's forcing her to do this show.
If she had the tiniest modicum of common sense she'd realise that she's over the hill and give up and do something else.

True,
but that doesn't make her undeserving of a little sympathy.

That is true, I'll grant you that.
However, her lacking the faintest shred of dignity or intelligence makes her a justifiable target. See my response above.

If you were working on a job
at my house and got wet I'd say "bad luck mate! Here's a towel, would you like a brew?" - little bit of sympathy there ;)
If I'd got video of you getting wet I'd sell it to Harry Hill and split the money 50/50 with you too!

Excellent!
Where are you? I'll be round this afternoon!
But seriously, you get me, yeah?
She's no more entitled to complain about the lack of success than I am about getting the occasional soaking.

I do get it,
but if I see a person who's genuinely upset I feel a degree of sympathy for their distress.
Having said that there are exceptions! If I ever saw Tony Blair upset I'd laugh at him ;)

It's Pity mate - that's what she deservers
She ain't having my sympathy because that means I have to feel for what she's got and quite franky I down fucking want to.
I pity her that's all, because actually it's none of my fucking business and there's nothing I can do for her.
