Here's the way I think of it.
If I was going to the CD signing and the show on the same day, I'd rather see her at the show. It shows shes a real professional, in my opinion, if she thought sh was starting to get sick but didn't want to miss the show. And I think people should understand that. Yes, she was supposed to be there, but these people are paying 20 dollars for a CD that they could probably have signed by her if they went to the stage door one night. The people in the audience have paid at least 40 dollars to see her perform.
Do you want a recording of her performance or actually see her PERFORM? That is the question.
