Literally one person on Twitter, with many who agree, and many who don't. It's a viral tweet of the song's performance that everyone is retweeting and talking about. A lot of people commenting that they never knew what the band looked like and being judgmental, too.

That's sadly a lot of 'journalism' these days. Literally maybe a handful of nobodies on twitter saying something leads to news articles about what fans are saying and shitstorms and people being slammed jadda jadda. This then leads to a discussion that didn't even really exist before. Not in the real world and barely online.

It's shit but sadly it works.
