I hate participation especially if I have paid good money to go and see something. Pantomime is different of course. No I mean concerts particularly. I saw an artist complaining that their audience didn't sing along and I've never been a fan of this. You pay a huge amount of money to hear a band play and the lead singer sing and they can't be arsed to do the chorus sticking the microphone towards the audience and I hate it.
I came to listen to them sing, end of. The number of times someone behind me or to the side of me sings flat, doesn't know the words or is just making some sort of fill in noise is dreadful. It spoils the whole thing and at one venue I had to ask that one person who sang loud and flat and wanted to talk their way through the rest of the performance be removed or let me be seated elsewhere. It was atrocious and in the quiet bits where a sole was happening etc you could hear this drunken idiot above the music.
So that's my rant. If you want me to help you sing your song, pay me! I've paid to hear you and the band perform it isn't for me to provide your backing band or help you when you've forgotten the words to the chorus! They charge a small fortune these days to attend a convert and you wouldn't do it during a classical concert! Rant over LOL!
