THIS is exactly true. Saying that you can't judge a performance from a YouTube video is complete crap. A dodgy camera can't mask the fact that a singer may or may not be singing out of tune. negative post.

Since you haven't bothered to take the time to actually read what the discussion is all about your opinion to me is almost worthless. In other words you are offering up a comment on a discussion when you don't even know what it is all about. I think it also being condesending and disrespectful others who have taken the time and effort to put their thought into words. IF you can be bothered to comment, I think you should at least be bothered to understand what you are actually commenting on so you can offer something real,productive and knowledgable to the discussion. IF you had in fact been bothered to read, you would know that the discussion was not about who is or isn't a real fan. It is about posting thoughtfully and respectfully and not making a negative judgement & comment based on a distorted poor quality YoTube clip that doesn't accurately reflect the real performance.
THere is one part of what you posted that I do want to respond to. YouTube videos taken with cell phone cameras that have very poor sound and very poor picture quality are not anywhere near a true representation of the actual quality of the true performance. Most of them are in fact crap. The sound is very distorted with the background noise, etc. You can't truly judge the vocals with all that distortion. The picture is also distorted depending on far back you are in the crowd and the resolution on the device you are using.
My example, if though isn't about MEat is this: At Motley Crue last summer I took a video with my digital camera of Tommy Lee's drum coaster solo; His drum set is like a mini-roller coaster that goes around, for those that are not aware. The sound and picture were very poor. I wouldn't want people judging his musical ability or the impact of that amazing special effect by my video. If you look up any of the official promo videos of it, you can see how truly awesome this event is. I readily admit, that the quality of my video is crap. That doesn't mean the effect itself was crap. I wouldn't post my own video here because I wouldn't want to disrespect Tommy Lee's ability like. that.
