Non-Engaging Guest

Difficult Personality (DF) might find herself in fewer out of town shows if she continues with her antics. Between teleseryes, celebrities fill up their time by booking themselves in provincial shows and shooting endorsements. Usually, performing for an hour or so can be lucrative and some celebrities charge even higher than their daily rate for work in a teleseryes. Hence, some talents prefer guesting in provincial shows, as the money is easier and all they have to do is to please the crowd in less time that they devote to taping.

During the show, DF was among an impressive lineup of singers and funny performers. The performers were well applauded and the audience was looking forward to the finale, and that was DF. Known as a singer, DF can carry a tune, but on stage, many were disappointed. Instead of fully singing her song, she asked for audience participation, which is a common practice to get the crowd involved. The host suggested inviting a Young Male (YM) relative of the host. Quickly, YM made his way onstage without fear, as it was his hometown crowd anyway.

The crowd cheered at seeing YM in front of them, but DF totally ignored him and chose a couple of young girls from the audience. DF made the girls dance, but they were awful. As DF was unhappy, she left the two at the side of the stage. Then, she picked another one. This time, the person gamely sang, but the crowd noticed that DF hardly sang afterwards and she allowed the person to sing most of the lyrics.

As is customary, photo ops followed. The other performers gamely posed with the crowd and interacted with them. By contrast, DF stayed away as much as she could from having photos with people onstage. Of course, some of these personalities are influential in the town, and the attitude of DF did not go unnoticed. What the crowd could not understand is that the previous performers were very amiable, but DF was too aloof. Towards the end of the performance, the other performers were much applauded, whereas DF experienced the audience merely clapping out of politeness.

Despite the negative personality that DF is known for, she could often get away with it. On cam and with known people, DF seems to exude a very sweet image. Her projects are well received and her partnerships with various leading men always get her fans swooning. Nonetheless, feedback from out of town performances might have repercussions sooner than expected.
