In rewatching this video, the interesting thing to me is how few of the audience seemed to appreciate being in the presence of an amazing artist performing her art. You see fat people in the background guzzling beer, people rushing to get their next soft drink, pretzel, etc. and people riding by on their scooters. I would have been transfixed by this performance.

Because she is mediocre (which is why she dresses the way she does), and/or the people there just are not into that kind of music.
A lot of things in this "arts" type scenarios are propped up by a lot of hype, and that is what attracts the people, not the art itself (in this case the music).
For example; that story of a famous violinist, Joshua Bell, who went basically unnoticed while playing for free in a DC metro station. But give a big advertised hype around Bell playing, numerous people would have stopped and payed attention because "that is what they are suppose to do".
Another example is the graffiti artist Banksy, who was in NYC and actually had a kiosk or something giving away or selling his art for like $10 or something, only a couple of people even bought; why? Because all in all, people are more into "the name and hype" than the actual subject matter. People who even bought the stuff did not know it was Banksy, despite some of them admitting they were fans of his.

Well, several different things. First of all, does one know that there was beer in those steins? I carry a stein as part of my garb but it is usually only for water. Further, during a day, my only food may be pretzels and when you are spending the entire day on your feet in the sun, you do burn calories.....or at least, are rather tired by the end of the day.
Next, being part of that world, there is a lot going on. It's not just being transfixed by the performance but it is also being in costume, hanging out with friends. It is difficult to say but when Jenny or Kede or Dreamie are friends as well, one sees their performances differently.
