This is a normal post Not at all
I find the video very distasteful - its clearly a deeply upsetting thing for her and its packaged for our entertainment. I thought laughing at people who were crying was something we'd all left in the school playground.

This is a normal post Girl? How old is she?
And you're missing he point, I reckon.
She has set herself up here, that is all.
She's craving the attention and with that comes the risk of public humiliation.

Damn her for trying to make a go of it!
Stupid tart, should get herself to Tesco or the dole queue.
Last thing this world needs is more people trying to earn their own living!

This is a normal post girl wants attention
has no discernible talent, gets attention anyway, loses attention, wants more, still has no talent, fails to get attention...cries.


what bit is the sympathy for?

This is a normal post 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 :)

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

This is a normal post *sniff*
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?

This is a normal post 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 ;)

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post True,
but that doesn't make her undeserving of a little sympathy.

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post 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!

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post 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 ;)

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post She's already enjoyed more success than...
...the thousands and thousands of singers out there. She should be happy with that and move on. I'm sure there's loads of people out there who'd employ her behind the scenes in showbiz.

Sympathy = none.

Quite respect her for the lack of self-deluded bullshit in this brief clip, and not accepting the half-arsed attempts of those blokes to tell her it's not that bad.
"No it is mate, it's shit."

Fair play...
