@@EastWindCommunity1973 I was infuriated, too, that it was literally the first thing she did. Hardly living in the moment, but it is the nature of the beast today. I do give her credit for establishing the shot and then making eye contact for the rest of the video. She was trying to take it in, at least, I'll give her that. Ideally she would've let him sing for a while to her, then film a bit of the end....but I get that it's easy to point this out after the fact.

I’m a rock music fan but I recognise that Ed Sheehan is one of the greatest musical talents Britain has ever produced. He’s guested with so many top performers who are more than happy to share a stage with this musical prodigy. And, he seems to be a really nice guy, in the hedonistic music world he inhabits. He played Glastonbury solo and owned the stage. Who else could do that?

The spice girls girls sold millions of records, and they're a household name, yet very few people would consider them talented?

I don't mind his music, but the music he produces is very middle of the road and safe, there is nothing daring or special about it.

[@cameranmanner4701]

I have that same problem when filming my son's games I missed the moments as it unfolds live. Watching over again is totally different as you already know the outcome and what you've lost is how you currently feel during that moment. It's hard decision to make. You want to capture the moment live and preserve the memory on video. You can sort of do booth by looking up at the moment while recording but you tend to loose the framing of the captured video, but you can readjust camera when looking down at your phone.

Just imagine not having that part of you would have said, “one, they are already recording it, two, some things in life I can just enjoy and don’t need to have proof it happened. I should just not even focus on the only materialistic part of this experience which would be me getting my own video of it, but just appreciating the beauty of the moment fully and no matter who sees this or who is recording, Ed Sheeran stopped to sing to me in my normal everyday life out of nowhere.” It just makes me sad.

I’m not saying you can’t multitask, I’m saying she’s robbing herself of something beautiful that could have been ultimately pure and untainted by our modern advances.
