I was there, and where I was standing the crowd most certainly were not bored. In fact, the majority of the crowd cheered and screamed for her.

I don't know what drug you've been taking, but may I suggest you leave off?

[KubriksMonolith]

Yeah, take the time to read a few more messages in this thread than the top few and you'll find out you were stood with the few hundred Spektor fans near the front enjoying themselves. A hundred yards back though, and people were falling asleep due to the monotony of this auditory dullard, it's called diverse musical taste, no drugs needed, just a fucking good sense of humour to take the piss and watch you inevitably give a Pavlovian response.

This isn't just funny youtube. It's screams agenda!!! Did Regina steal your boyfriend?

[KubriksMonolith]

Nah, she just stole the will to remain consciously awake from the people you see asleep in the video.

[absolutroot]

well, regina isn't exactly ozzy osbourne... if you were expecting regina spektor mosh pits--i am sorry but you will obviously be disappointed.

[KubriksMonolith]

Yeah, you're right, I was expecting a full on Spektor mosh pit and Reggie diving from the stage and crowd surfing like a bitch. Alas, it was a bad gig for Reggie that day at Glasto as she got out of her tent late and couldn't be arsed to put on a dress. Even performing in her pants and bra did not gain the interest of the crowd who thought she was utterly dull. There were about 42 people at the front who liked her, but unfortunately they were later sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

It didn't really make an amusing youtube video... have you never been to Glastonbury before? There are people falling asleep everywhere to everyone, and that is taken from right near the back, at the front it was awsome, everyone was enjoying it... Why do you try and offend people? Its Glasto, it is meant to be about peace, love and unity, not being a dick!

[BollardsUpAhead]

The fact that you were about two miles from the stage shows just how pointless this clip is. Sure, the crowd was no Blur, but if you had been up at the front, as myself and many others were, you would have seen what a brilliant performance it was. As it is, you weren't, and you didn't, so you have no right whatsoever to judge her abilities to maintain a crowds interest.

[GoblinJuiceII]

@Kubricksmonolith I wouldn't dare. Too many hard core fans of his out there... (heads off for a Bieber vid to cause chaos... realises that several hundred thousand people got there before him...)

[GoblinJuiceII]

@Kubricksmonolith Trolling is fun. But remember kids it makes you no friends. Well it makes you some friends. But sadly they are usually dicks...

[Kubricksmonolith]

@GoblinJuiceII Hey! Don't you start dissing the Bieber.

[Kubricksmonolith]

@GoblinJuiceII Yeah, best fun I've had on YouTube since telling a load of Elvis fans that he never sung in tune.

[GoblinJuiceII]

@Kubricksmonolith I am the music police. I am just simply replying to your comments, that's all. And I happen to love the warm up acts at that folk club, sorry that she ain't Bieber but you can't have everything you want man!

[GoblinJuiceII]

@Kubricksmonolith Pure gold. You are loving this aren't you?

[Kubricksmonolith]

@GoblinJuiceII I wasn't far back enough if I was to be honest. I mean where i'm stood I could still hear the inane wailing of Spektor, it was fucking awful. I mean you can hear it on this YouTube video, it's like a warm up act at a folk club In Weston Super Mare. And hey, if I want to post a video of people falling asleep whilst enduring Spektor, who you are you to instruct me not to. What are you, the fucking music police? Oh and on the subject of trolling, how many posts have you written now?

[Kubricksmonolith]

@GoblinJuiceII Oh God! What a sanctimonious pretentious jumped up little Toff you sound. Fucking hell! I nearly get a hard on reading your moralising clap trap. Glastonbury is anything you want it to be. And stop fucking lying about people falling asleep everywhere to legitimise your sycophantic love of 'Folky Spektor'. Glastonbury is anything you want it to be you jumped up little twat, and if I want to take the piss out of the shitty music you like then I'll do exactly that you dumberfuck!

[GoblinJuiceII]

@Kubricksmonolith You are real far back from the stage. You are behind the second line of speakers and the screen for those too far back to see the stage. I walked by the stage many times and ignored the music playing. It doesn't mean it was shit and they have no fans. Why is not liking something such a big deal for you? Film a band you like and write good things about it. Not one you don't. This video doesn't show anything except you have too much time on your hands and want to troll a bit! x

[GoblinJuiceII]

@Kubricksmonolith I had totally forgotten this video existed. I have been but only three times. Though got my ticket this year. People do fall asleep everywhere. I have seen this happen. I have done it. Just lie down and relax. When you have been up all night partying it is just sometimes too hard to resist. Then you just find some nice chilled out music and lie down. Glastonbury isn't about the hating, it is about respecting everyone's music taste (among other things.) Don't be a dick ;)
