Jessie J has spoken of her shock after performing at this weekend's Trinity Ball which, she tweeted was "Probably one of the hardest gigs to date."
Following her performance on Friday night, the singer, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, took to Twitter to speak about the drunken crowd.
She wrote: "Just came off stage at trinity ball. Probably one of the hardest gigs to date.
"To see so many people so drunk they couldn't even stand. Girls unconscious and (students were) literally trampling on each other. It wasn't easy."
The singer, who has risen to fame over the past year, later posted: "I'm not upset they weren't all listening. It upset me to see so many young people so not with it. I'm not used to it.
"It's hard to sing when I just wanted to go into the crowd and help all the crying girls who were being squashed."
The comments caused a stir online among students who attended the inaugural party, with one commentator remarking: "Are you being serious? Just be thankful you were performing on stage to your fans."
The singer later posted: "Can I just clear up that last night was a university ball and it was students.
"I was just shocked at how intoxicated they were and I was genuinely worried for them. I'm not used to it. That's all.
"And it's not just in Ireland, its everywhere. As a non drinker, I just want to spread the message that binge drinking is dangerous. I just care."
The Blizzards frontman Niall Breslin, who wasn't at the ball, then commented on Jessie J's statement, dryly remarking: "Welcome to Ireland."
The yearly suits-and-gown extravaganza, which takes place on the grounds of Trinity College, also featured a host of other big bands, including The Streets, Bell X1 and The Rubberbandits.
