This happened yesterday. Geez, give her a break.

Ariana is probably shook up, and beside herself with grief.

 

I don't fault her for not putting out a tweet two seconds after it happened, saying all of the right words.

Tap the brakes.

Of course she had nothing to do with what happened.

Geeze....why would you go there? 

So is everyone saying she shouldn't help the victims?


Seriously considering my post is hearted meaning people read it and agreed and understood I find your comments and speculation off base. So tap the breaks yourself. I did not mention your prior post but now I will. I think it is in poor taste this young singer just ended her concert to adoring happy fans. She has walked off stage and all H breaks loose. Horrific H and you sit there judging how much she has done so far? Give her a chance to breath.

I don't really expect her to think much about anyone but herself here, no matter what her PR people say.

 

That said, I like some of her music.  She does have a lot of talent.


Her behavior has been questionable throughout the yrs, no doubt.

This would've been a good time for her image to do a '180'.

Cancelling the remaining concert was good, but maybe

setting up a foundation for the victims, etc.  Giving back.

Showing you care....but, nope.   Time will tell, tho.

 

True, on one hand we can say 'it's not about Ariana Grande',

but on the other hand, it is.  Her name will always be associated

w/ this tragedy.  Her story could be rewritten to help so many people. 


This JUST happened. I don't really like her or dislike her but to judge anyone on what they do or don't do within hours of something this shocking and tragic is a little ridiculous.

AG will have to live with this forever- and that's a long, long time for her.  She's going to need therapy.  My heart breaks for her as my heart breaks for the victims and their families.


You are assuming that she cares that much.

 

I don't know if she does or doesn't, but she hasn't shown herself to be much of a caring type person to date.

 

Unless it's about herself.

Apparently whatever she says or does it won't be enough, it won't be the "right" thing and it definitely won't be fast enough.

 


No, she could actually do something that would maybe change people's minds about her.  I guess we'll see.

I agree. Why her past has any need of mention pertaining to this horrific act is beyond ridiculous. Or the judgment and critique of her tweet, seriously? She is not a senior statesmen she is a kid herself who had nothing to do with what happened.


I did say in my post that she had nothing to do with the incident.

 

I was simply relaying my opinion of her since her devastation (assumed) was brought up.

 

23 really isn't a "kid".  Not the 23 year olds I know anyway.  Some are all about themselves, as are others of all ages, and some have compassion for others and it shows.

I can't believe the mean posts on this thread!!!!! Why is it that people expect a certain reaction or statement and if' it isn't the way they think it should be then they write VICIOUS posts?

Put the blame on the madman who committed this crime, Ariana wasn't killed or hurt but she deserves some sympathy too.
