She pulled out because the sound system was not adequate. She is a professional and is not going to perform with sub-standard equipment. It's not her fault they didn't check that the equipment was OK with her first.
She has done this before at other events, it has nothing at all to do with 'the crowd' which doesn't even make sense, but everything to do with her giving the best performance she can, and she's not going to do that on rubbish hardware. And furthermore, this decision will not have been made solely by her...it's not as if she just walked off, she said herself that she and her team did not think the system was adequate, and ultimately if they decide it's not good enough, then it's out of her hands...
This 'she didn't like the crowd' nonsense was blatantly a planted quote to make her look bad after she quit. She has cancelled performances due to sub-standard equipment before and this is no different.
Other acts found the sound system to be fine.
All the other acts were DJs who bring their own personal equipment along or Z-list singers nobody has ever heard of. Once again, she is painted to look the villain, just because she wants to give the best performance possible. Why should she compromise herself and potentially damage her vocals by performing with crappy equipment. She is a professional.
Things break down and you laugh it off - get into the spirit of doing things off the hoof. You don't pull out and disappoint people just because things aren't to your 'professional standards'. People won't judge on that, but they will judge her on not turning up and getting stuck in.
Poor excuse.
Obviously someone has spat their dummy out because Alex didn't perform due to the SOUND SYSTEM being poor and lacking.
Alex had to stop throughout a performance at Brighton Pride in 2010 because of the sound system being awful. Alex has also tweeted saying it's BULLSH*T
Lmao.... it's pathetic tbf
Lol.............. when the only other person who performed at the event was fatboy slim who's basically classed as a dj, do you honestly think he needs a good sound system?
Alex makes a point of making requirements when she performs at a gig because she's a LIVE artist and always delivers. Even when she's ill as f*ck she will deliver a GOOD VOCAL PERFORMANCE. She never fails.
When she's performing at gay clubs which hold like 400 people, I doubt she'd really pull out when she travelled all the way to brighton lol People really like to portray Alex as this evil character/diva character when she's absolutely lovely.
erm... she's performed at around 5 pride events this year and also at like 7 different gay clubs throughout the summer.
Just because she dropped out of 1 EVENT... doesn't mean she's failed at all lol
Smh
If she can't hear herself on stage, and the audio/sound is not feeding to her properly, she can damage her vocals and then she'd have to cancel a lot more events.
It's hardly her fault their system is rubbish, she needs the right equipment, and there's no point in her risking her voice, and potentially having to cancel a lot more than just one event for the sake of 'doing things off the hoof'....
I don't think so.
Other acts AKA fatboy slim ... Yep LOADS. PMSL... dead@you
she performed at Cardiff Pride the same night so obviously it was something to do with BRIGHTON PRIDE.
When she's performed at chip shops and small clubs, I doubt the audience size really bothers her, like really...
She isn't with Modest but she's still with RCA
She has performed in tiny clubs and other places before, so why would she complain about the audience.
After her contracted gigs .... She can't just pull out of like 20 summer gigs she was contracted to.
She is contracted until Sep 20th (gigs which were booked before may) so we'll see what happens after that
Though I do find it abit weird how she dropped out of JLS's tour but maybe that was because she needed more time for meetings/preparation etc
Wasn't she contracted for the JLS gigs then?
She pulled out...the contract would have been made under Modest which she has now left so presumably the contract was voided. We'll what happens with her and her plans in the future...the year is not over yet.
Yep which was weird but meh, dno what happened there.... that was a stupid idea either way anyway lol
We'll soon find out I guess in upcoming weeks, she needs to talk abit more.
Does my head in when artists are quiet about plans
So these new gigs were booked by her new management It's all very confusing.
She has not announced her new management so I don't know about that. The only think she has announced is that she's still with RCA and has signed to RCA US. I guess more will be revealed in time, but she has standards and quality to uphold, so I'm not surprised she quit this performance.
Omg I like her I really do but in cases like this you just have to not be biased and say, okay she dissapointed a lot of people, it's okay for them to be angry. My nephew who lives in Huddersfield travelled all the way down there specifically to see her, your telling me he's not allowed to be pissed off? Regardless of weather it was her fault or not, inevitably people are guna be angry
