Can you imagine going to a symphony and nearly everyone in the crowd is singing along with Beethoven? Would that make the music sound better? I just can't relate to this idea that when the professional artist is singing music that you're paying to see and hear her sing, *you* want to sing also!
first of all, beethoven didn't sing...second of all if you want to hear the optimal, most polished version of a song, stay home and listen to the studio recording. Live performance isn't about hearing the "best sounding" version of the song so much as being taken in by the energy of seeing the artist live. Let people sing. When you're actually there you won't really be able to hear the crowd anyway.
@@unmessable12 I was actually thinking of people humming or going "la la la la" along with a symphony. Oh, I let people sing. What is the alternative? Stopping them? I'm just saying that I can't stand a $50 concert being karaoke opportunity. That's me. It's an unusual preference perhaps.
You're comparing artists from genres with totally opposite concert etiquettes. Pop concerts are big on high energy and crowd participation. Pretty much every pop show I've been to (Carly included), the artist will say things like "let me hear you!" or point the mic at the crowd throughout songs--you're actively encouraged to sing! It's like... a celebration of your love for the song/band.
@@tobynsaunders yeah see you can have your preference but your tone indicates just heaps of condescension and judgement for something as innocuous as singing along to a song you like. Opposite of Carlys energy for sure
@@unmessable12 So you do prefer to hear music at a concert when the people around you are singing? If you are, then I'd be a fool to say that your preference was bad. We simply have different preferences. We agree about the "energy".
