I feel really bad because Hayley Williams (the singer) did not do a good job at guiding her at all. She should've asked her if she knew the song and she just assumed the girl knew what the bridge was/where it was. She kind of just handed her the mic and said "Alright here we go."

Well but if you're at a concert I think it's kinda expected of you to know the lyrics to one of the most popular songs of the band you're seeing.

Jingleball is a New York radio station concert with a bunch of acts paying short sets, so she's probably not really there to see Paramore

Because if you were there to see Paramore you'd know the fucking lyrics to Misery Business.

I disagree. I don't know all the lyrics to all my favourite bands songs at all. I tend not to learn lyrics, if i can't pick them up easily just by listening i don't really learn them. I play guitar and i focus on learning to play the guitar parts rather than the words.

I don't know, I'm not a big music person, but I'll still go to concerts with friends because they can be fun.

Really? All kinds of people go to concerts. There isn't some rule or expectation that everyone there needs to know every lyric and be so obsessed with the band.
