There's a reason behind this, as this goes for any television show that follows through with this format: audience etiquite. They aren't allowed to dance around and cause a distraction from any performances on those shows, unless it's encouraged by the performers themselves. (Check back on other performance videos from The Late Show if you don't take my word on it. Been watching it on and off for years, this stuff is normal.)

I'm still reeling at the number of folks who are thinking this is a way to judge whether the audience liked her or not... like they were supposed to break out the glow sticks and hop around like it was a regular concert performance. That wasn't the proper place for that. :-/

And unfortunately, you're kind of late, she's been getting slammed on social media by some folks, a lot of it due to the song and language choice, and the other due to ignorance. I'm sure there were folks impressed with the technology, effects, and the enthusiasm of the live musicians, though. They're just being overshadowed by the negativity from both ignorant "weeb" haters  and fans of VOCALOID who felt a grave injustice was done.

For the most part, outside of said comments, most of the internet articles I've seen covering this performance were actually somewhat positive and INFORMATIVE for once. (...a few may need some minor corrections... such as dropping the use of the words "hologram" and "anime character" and maybe a few slight fact checks, but for the most part, mostly accurate on explaining VOCALOID's concept.) That's very unusual from what we've usually experienced in the past when mainstream western media covered VOCALOID-related material. Sure, there were still those ones that I could slap the writers in the face for not doing any research whatsoever, but it's something like this when there's a few more folks paying more attention to "what it actually is" rather than "what it looks like to them" that makes it feel like there was some level of success here. Hopefully fans who are feeling some sort of embarrassment won't overlook this as well. ;-)
