Why did everyone seemingly continue to watch it if it was so shit?

I started thinking he would be good. When it started to dawn on me it wasnt up to much I genuinely thought he would pull it out of the bag. Did end up multi tasking towards the end

Everybody loves watching a car crash. Human nature. You try to look away but the unfolding horror is strangely compelling.

Got to say I enjoyed that and for nothing more than the spectacle he did put on a show as I expected and stuck 2 fingers up to the people saying this is not right or normal, he did his thing and stuck with it
I have yet to see it but having read the press this morning, and seen the numerous posts he's engendered on this forum alone, he seems to have done what we expected and what he probably wanted. I think this review sums it up well:
"If you didn't like West before this, he may well have confirmed all your worst suspicions. If, like me, you are a fan, he was as mad, infuriating, daring, electrifying, ridiculous, original and unwilling to compromise as we perhaps should have expected." The Daily Telegraph's Neil McCormick.
Very true and a salient point. His performance, and especially the reactions on this forum, are all text book Kanye. The reaction (which he wants) is as much part of the show as the show itself. By continuing to watch it we've all unwittingly bought into it. Same as Chris Eubank really.
What did you expect on here, 40-50 year old football fans to suddenly " get down with the kids" ?
I watched about 5 minutes near the end to see what all the fuss was about, and I can't say I was impressed.
Music for teenage boys. Oh sorry did I say music?
Multitasking you say, I see he had his workwear on, did he paint the stage roof when he was up on the cherry picker?
He was shouting into a microphone at the same time.

I believe Jamie T is on later - which will obviously be the best performance at the whole thing
This is what I am expecting too.

I rarely watch Glasttonbury or any other festival on the telly, it's like staring in through the living room window to a party you were not invited to. However, I did catch a bit of Kanye's set at my neighbours house (he was watching it, Glastonbury isn't in his lounge room). An exhausting hullaballoo of white light and shouting. Quite a poor show by anyone's standards. Mind you, this is a festival that openly condones unicyclists and jugglers so this is the least of anyone's problems.
Glastonbury has been pretty shit since Eaves's daughter took over. She strikes me as the same sort of **** as Stella McCartney.

That's like asking if Talking Heads are bigger than Milli Vanilli.
