Her affectations are INCREDIBLY annoying. I saw her concert last month with a friend and the anecdotes she was telling were boring and self-centred. Not a great personality imo, but her singing voice is pleasant and strong. Perhaps as she grows up a little she'll calm down.

I think some of the criticism of Carrie here is a little unfair. She is a talented vocalist and performer, she’s been doing theatre since she was little. And if you find her YouTube videos irritating -just don’t watch them! But how would you know without watching...? |

And if you find her YouTube videos irritating -just don’t watch them! But how would you know without watching...? Also it's possible to like someone but also find aspects of what they do irritating- I've said in this thread I like Carrie's behind the scenes type videos as they're interesting as a theatre-fan. But I find some of her other videos annoying- well I can't know that until I watch them can I?! That's like someone reviewing the concert saying 'It was a bit boring' and being answered with 'Don't go then' well they had to go to find out...! |

I guess we can now close this entire forum ^^ This isn't just about some people not liking her as Veronica. It's people going out of the way to say negative things about her so that she can see it. Tagging her in posts etc. It's one thing not liking someone's performance but another to go out of your way to send that person a hateful comment. |

It was posted in response to one comment on the West end live youtube video, not on her social medias or anything, and the comment was not hateful in any way. Personally I don't mind her and I think she is a good performer, but as a theater fan I feel sometimes disrespected by this sort of attitude when she could've just responded to the hundreds of comments praising her work instead of focusing on the one negative one. That being said, the West end live people talking about her social media following was disrespectful to her, a much better place to start a discussion about negativity and stunt casting that getting her fans to "bully" someone who gave their opinion on the video The full audio of the show is also available on youtube right now, don't know how long it'll stay but its worth a listen  Do you know for sure that it's in response to just one comment on the video?? And she's only human. You can receive a ton of praise for something and 1 negative comment, but it's that one negative comment that always sticks with you! |

I don't think this is about one singular comment. This is about numerous comments made about not only herself but also the rest of the cast. Jodie Steele posted on Twitter about seeing negative comments. In regards to Carrie I have seen numerous comments across Twitter, Youtube and Instagram attacking her for her weight.

I thought her response on the youtube comments was out of line. As they were
That said I saw some truly awful comments on her instagram that were very personal about her looks and down right vile. So I can see why she has put that statement up, even though I don't agree with it.

didn't know this was about Carrie - just saw Maria Coyne post nearly the same thing (about someone she likes or whatever) and several other
actors/actresses sharing it on Twitter
i don't get it why actors feel the need to read every comment on yt - you sometimes read them when tagged on Twitter but
why scroll through yt for it?

Because if their life. If people are posting about your job, your performance, in an open public forum, human nature will follow that content inquisitively, wanting to know whats being said. Hoping to read the good comments, that will keep you going on a bad day, but inevitably coming across the hurtful, spiteful, negative ones. |

CHF’s mouth reminds me of that one in the opening credits of The Rocky Horror Picture Show who, I think, was Patricia Quinn?
Nice to hear an acknowledgement of her smearing lippy all over her cast mate in Addams Family which I commented on at the time.

Eh, as annoying as it can be I feel like she has a right to discuss kissing him considering they’re now a couple 😂 she does overdo it at times though and moreso during Addams

Found a gossip thread about her yesterday, titled "Carrie Hope-lessly Devoted to Oliver Ormson".
Can't argue with that.

Carrie's back to her favourite topic again... The Stage Door.
Basically something happened to her. She tweeted about it. I can't remember what it even was, some bad luck thing we all go through now and again I'm sure. Someone replied it was karma for her not doing the stage door the other day. Drama has hence followed.
Yes, the person should have not tweeted it.
No ticket comes with a meet and greet but it was probably just a throw a way comment from a fan upset they didn't get to met their idol.
Advice. Ignore them. Move on?
It's just one person saying something bad in a sea of good. Let the good vibes win out?
No...
What followed was lots of shaming tweets as to why she couldn't come to stage door etc. None of which is needed. The "hopefuls" then wade in to the point that the original poster comes off twitter. Well done everyone, another non incident handled brilliantly...
Others get involved and try and calm things down
"Maybe if you're not coming out, have someone go out and tell them you aren't coming? While I agree that you're no obligation to meet fans, it feels incredibly disrespectful just to let people wait outside for an hour when you had no intention of coming out? It's just polite."
"We get asked before she show if we are signing or not and then the queue is told who will be there. They all got told last night by front of house that I would not be signing and still decided to wait. Xxx"
Xxx indeed.
What a bizarre set up this show is.
Asking before the show who is going to sign in a space after the show.
It's like Disneyland... a sign goes up... "signing today is... [fanfare] Donald Duck!"
Some cheer.
Some boo.
Some wish it had been Daisy.
Some were hoping for Pluto.
Crazy.
No doubt there's been many more thousands of posts on the subject and a vlog no doubt in the works too.
It's giving me a headache!

I've looked. Loads more posts.
Of course Mr Drama himself Mark Shenton can't resist getting involved either
"I feel so sad for @carriehfletcher that she felt compelled to explain why she wasn’t available at stage door to meet and greet fans. People buy tickets to the show; not to a personal audience with its star after. She has a life and friends of her own to see, too!"
"What saddens me, Mr Shenton, is that the many of the cast were at the theatre bar last night + yet I’m the one being tweeted. Which means this person was only in the queue to see 1 person in a cast of 16 + a team of many more who all put time/work into making Heathers, Heathers."

People keep talking about drama, but shouldn't drama be a bit less ... boring?

Shouldn’t a social media and vlogger realise that public status and “fame” is actually what makes her brand? Without the followers, fans and audience she has nothing no? Sitting in the same bar you’re asking for trouble. Want privacy? Go to The Ivy Club or Soho House - that’s what they are there for.

Carrie takes a step back from YouTube.
(But not very far back)

She's a YouTuber. She creates content for her over half a million subscribers and probably the same amount or more who watch but haven't subscribed. She's made a video based on a question her fans probably ask her all the time, based on views and likes (yes a large majority of her fans will watch and like anything she puts up, but that's part of the bloody point of being a YouTuber) just like all the other god-knows-how-many YouTubers do. I really don't understand this board’s obsession with examining every little thing this woman says and does, like she's the only person ever to do anything. And some who claim to not care or be bothered about her certainly do spent a lot of time talking about her (that is not directed at any one person, but if the glove fits...)
Of course I’m not saying no-one’s allowed to have a negative opinion of her, just sharing my own personal views!

Because it's quite interesting? having a musical theatre/youtuber crossover? aside from Miranda Sings/Collen Ballinger there's not another 'big name' on youtube who is also interested in musicals etc.
As someone who follows/watches a fair bit of Youtube but isn't quite fully into that world (much like Carrie talks about in that video, which admittedly is not the most thrilling 8 minutes of my life) I find it quite interesting dipping my toe in.

I understand both of those points, but that wasn’t the point I was trying to get at - maybe I didn’t explain myself very well, but all I’m trying to say is that a good 90% of this thread is just people bashing one person, and when it’s concentrated in it’s own thread it’s a little disheartening to read sometimes, as someone who is not a die-hard fan but who also doesn’t agree with most of the criticisisms thrown her way, by some people who seem like they can’t wait to come here and have another pop at her. I know there’s not many YouTube/MT crossover stuff, but I feel like she gets unfairly judged and scrutinised for things she does that are ‘normal’ in the YT community but not in the MT community, then gets judged for things that are ‘normal’ in the MT community but not in the YT community. But I appreciate it’s hard to discern if you’re not a superfan of both. I just think she’s quite a talented young woman who is trying her best to make her mark and keep everyone happy, like lots of people are, but she seems to get judged harsher than anyone.
Like I said, just my opinion from what I observe reading this thread compared to others and not directed at anyone in particular.
