The British superstar Adele wants people to enjoy her live performances, and not
videotape
them. During a show last Sunday in Italy, Adele condemned someone in the
crowd for videotaping the whole concert. The singer asked the woman to stop
filming
her and enjoy the live show instead. Adele criticized the fan for
setting
up a tripod to support the
camera, asking her to take it
down. The artist explained that her show was not a DVD,
saying, “I’m really here in real life.”

Adele’s outburst caused a lot of
people to leave comments on social media. Some people supported Adele’s
reaction. One Facebook user wrote that she also does not like it when people
block her
view at a concert because they are taping it. Another Adele
fan believes that people should respect the artist and his or her wishes. Others
felt that Adele should not have said anything at all to the woman. This Twitter
user felt like Adele embarrassed her fan.
Another Facebook user thinks that the fan should be able to “watch the show any
way they want” once they have paid for their ticket. Adele is halfway through her
planned around-the-world concert
tour. Those shows are to continue until the end of November.
