You might prefer the singing of “a world famous professional entertainer” to the singing with the Torah. But the common Torah Jew prefers the Torah.
The point above really was that people do enjoy “merely” watching and listening as a spectator to something they enjoy.
Hopefully people enjoy the Torah at least as much as a professional entertainer. Otherwise Simchas Torah is not their thing. They might enjoy playing a board game or socializing with their friends or watching TV more than going to shul to watch Simchas Torah.
