Ariana Grande — Page 2

That commentary can easily come from family and friends."

Once again. Insulting the intelligence of everyone who sees in plain view that something isn’t right. She may be sick, who knows but to say something isn’t wrong flies in the face of reality and this old song and dance shaming people for expressing concern for an artist they care about is so tired and out of touch.

I was not insulting anyone (let along ... "once again"), but reacting to the comment suggesting fans must speak out as if it is a moral obligation, that Grande needs them to do so or, that celebrities welcome such attention.

OhHiii said: "[...] the collective intelligence of those that DO express their concerns is being insulted by those wagging their proverbial finger under the guise of body shaming."

If there were a "collective intelligence" in play, there should also be an understanding of how hopelessly ineffective that collective is in regards to having any ability to change the situation - IF it needs to be changed.

Grande has expressed (repeatedly) how hurtful the collective's comments are. If there truly is a "collective intelligence", are they really "intelligent" if they don't demonstrate any understanding of how they make the situation worse with their gossip?

"Intelligent" people know when to stand back and let professionals provide any healing, if healing is required.

Do you stand outside doctor's offices and gossip with your "collective" about patients who are entering the facility? "Oooh... They look in really bad shape!" It's the same thing.

Peppa222 said: "The official Sunday Twitter account for this production posted a photo of Grande on her tour with the following caption:

"'Only way to make a work of art.' Our Dot is putting it together on the Eternal Sunshine Tour. That's what counts."

Seems like she's still attached. My guess is that ticket sales have been delayed because the Barbican ticketing website is in no way built to handle that level of demand without crashing. Implementing an entirely newand more secure site for an event like this takes time and money.

"

That was my thought also as expressed on the first page. Having worked with box offices, it was my first thought.

Because this is not about these things.

This is about caring for a performer that people love. Concerns about what we see on-stage.

Looking away and sticking our heads in the sand is inhuman."



Bullsh*t.
