My dh has been a fan of a ‘famous’ (doesn’t seem to be extremely well known but loved in certain circles) singer since he was a teenager and has gone to see her with his mates a few times in the past, although I think she has retired now (?)
I won’t be naming her because I don’t want a fighr or for any arguments, just want to see if I am being unreasonable.
I’m not so keen on her music but today he insisted on me watching some of a live recording of one of her concerts.
I immediately noticed how thin she was and how her hair was quite matted, and that she was more moaning the words as she sang, as if she was almost struggling or drugged.
She seemed more okay at first just stood on stage with a bit of dancing but as it went on she started crawling on the floor, heavily breathing, making odd squeal noises into the microphone, spinning in circles, even spitting at the audience at one point. 
she honestly looked really ill in my eyes and I told dh that it seemed quite exploitative to have put this woman on a stage for everybody to watch her.
According to dh it was just ‘like that back then’ and this is how she was..🤔.
The recording was from around the early 80s (i’ll have to ask dh) but this is surely not normal for the time??
I was only a little girl myself so I wouldn’t know
Am I being unreasonable to think this wasn’t normal for the time??
