I will never understand why people are so bothered by that video. Those celebs tried to show compassion and failed miserably, that's it. Their cringy, out-of-touch effort to reach out didn't hurt anyone, so why keep hating them for embarrassing themselves in a video they made years ago?

It was just very bad timing. I think it drove home how different their concerns are from what the majority of people were dealing with during early pandemic days, and rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way. The compassion came across as very phony even if the intentions may have been good. It may not be the biggest deal— as you said, no one got hurt. But it left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths that as the secret and responses show, still hasn't faded.

People tend to remember who kicks them when they're down. I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing, but, you know, it's definitely a thing that happens.

Honestly? I lost any shred of respect for every single piece of shit in that video who thought they’d gift the world with their encouragement. The sheer ego involved is nauseating. “Oh poor me in my mansion with my fully stocked pantry and overfull giant fridge and millions of dollars. We’re all in this together! You don’t have even a fraction of the security I do but I’ll sing you a song because we’re the same!” Fuck them. Every last one of them.

It wasn't malicious as far as I could tell but holy hell could it be any more tone-deaf. Well-off celebs pretending like fucking Covid was a vacation where the worst inconvenience was that you didn't get to go out. When in reality, the rest of us weren't guaranteed job security, and potentially a housing situation. And some of the ones who did get to keep their jobs were overworked and treated like shit by Karens and Kevins and Korporations (haha) alike, and instead of being better compensated for it, they were called "essential" and other dumb shit.

I don't hold it against those celebs but I hope that they (and anyone else witnessing the cringe in action) learned a lesson that day.

Dolly Parton and Tom Hanks donated money and blood towards finding a vaccine. The Imagine Choir of Good Feels could have done at least that, not sing a terribly off tune accapella karaoke.

I was far more uplifted by Hanks and Dolly and would gladly applaud that.

"accapella karaoke"

heh

How did I forget this?! I even wore a Thank You, Dolly shirt when I got my shot (I went with Moderna, the one she helped fund). I live in East TN and she’s absolutely revered here.

Can openly, flamboyantly gay people work at Dollywood?

And Julia Roberts donated money too.

I think it was a reminder how out of touch rich people are from the rest of us, especially those with little resources and finances.

Yeah, must be easy to think of a happy utopia where all we do is sit at home and record ourselves singing a lyric to a John Lennon until this whole "social distancing" thing is "over".
Some of us still had to go into work while the majority of people remained at home. We had to put on masks and wash our hands and deal with people yelling at us for following guidelines and trying not to catch this deadly disease.
Some of us were stricken with grief constantly hearing of family/friends/neighbors/coworkers going to the hospital and/or dying and we couldn't be there for them or their loved ones.
Some of us were terrified that we had no way to pay for food or shelter, much less knew if we would have that??

Like, if these rich folks really wanted us all to "make it through this" they would have opened their wallets up and given money to people on the brink of destitution.

But we know that's not going to happen so celebrities deserved that public dragging.
