Actually that Gimme More performance is a good example of how the whole online environment breeds overreaction and group think mentality.

I remember seeing that performance trashed by everyone, it even made the top story on CNN.com for a few hours. By the time I actually watched it, I couldn't believe how unremarkable the whole thing was. I kept waiting for the disaster to happen and when it was over, I thought maybe I had the wrong video lol. It wasn't anything special, but it was nowhere near say Ashlee Simpson doing a jig on SNL or getting roasted by the crowd at the Superbowl.

With this performance, I can see people thinking it wasn't remarkable, but the worst thing ever? Have you heard the mic feed from Migrate? I don't know what it is about being online, but it seems to bring out the reactionary in people, especially on Twitter. Going the other way, I remember when the first snippet of Trumphant leaked (the one that sounds like noise, with a little rap and no Mariah). Someone actually said "I am pretty sure this is my favorite song this year". It reminds me of the Gutter parody. "I love everything and I'm pretty sure this is something"
