05/27/2018 03:21:33 AM

Just this past month, in a middle of the Bruno Mars concert, the said Grammy-award winning recording artist have noticed the potion of his audience seeing their cameras raised instead of just enjoying the live and raw thing. It was an interesting scenery and thought to ponder on for a while. And this, probably, has been a norm nowadays no matter how partly-distracting it may seem for both artists, performers, and organizers.
