I am not sure I would be happy about it depending on what point of the flight it happened, if I appeared on the video. One the flip side, I may have laughed and it could have brightened my day. I really don't know how I would feel about it depending on the actual circumstances.

That was cute. I liked seeing the various people's responses from clapping to smiling to looking confused to filming her to not even noticing her from looking unamused. But most of the passengers looked to be enjoying it. At least it makes the flight fun for a minute. So it would not bother me. Damn that was a big plane with a tiny tiny aisle!
I think if I had an aisle seat, I would have the highest chance for being annoyed because of the tiny size of it. I wonder if something like that gets approval from the flight crew first.
Flying is scary enough for some people without having some bimbo dancing up and down the aisle.
I would not be amused to be in her video, either. I really don't want a record of me staring at an imaginary horizon to keep from being sick all over the internet.
I will say if I had to happen to need to pee or whatever at that moment I would be annoyed she was blocking me in the way. I would try to wait till she was done but say it was one of the kids or an emergency she might have her video ruined by me being like "EXCUSE ME!"
I think I would be annoyed by it happening and I definitely would not want to be in it.
FTR, I didn't watch the video and don't really know the circumstances of it.
My reaction would depend on where the plane was at the time.
If it was on the tarmac and not moving... meh.
I'd also want to know if everyone was asked if it was o.k. BEFORE she started shooting the video. I mean "Do you nice folks mind if I shoot a quick video of us for my Blog?" is much more polite and socially acceptable than getting up, shooting the vid, and having a "If you don't like me doing this... tough" attitude.

I also agree she probably should ask before filming it. Some people are on witness protection or have stalker ex boyfriends etc and they try to keep their image off the web for that reason.
JHA, that was kind of my impression too. If it was someone singing live and it was a good performance, I may feel different. Bad dancing and lip syncing doesn't do it for me.
This. Especially if she didn't ask the other passengers if they wish to serve as her "extras." I don't see why the rest of us need to serve as background for every person who, because of youtube and the like, feels they are another Steven Spielberg.
If this happened in flight, I would consider it a major, major safety and security violation.
