What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Has anyone seen an old photograph of Amy Winehouse..? She actually looked quite good, had some ‘meat one her bones’ to put it lightly, and, despite not ever being a fan of her music, it’s easy to see that she has (had..?) talent, but, as everyone has said here, she really has thrown that away. A few people have made the point that there are loads of talented people out there who never get to make it big and get what they deserve, whereas she’s achieved fame and fortune, and for what? So she can show off her talent for a year or so and then throw it all away for crack..? Right. Well done, Amy. We’re all so proud of you.

Anyone who didn’t detect the sarcasm there..?

Wow, THAT is the perfect example of denial. Not just a river, anymore!

It sounds like she has a nasty cold. Notice her voice sounds thick, suggesting illness and chest/sinus congestion where as a “smokers cough” (i.e. cigs, weed, crack whatever) typically sounds more dry and raspy. Many great artists have performed under the influence of drugs/alcohol and they sounded just fine. There is clearly something else going on here.
This is actually the healthiest she has looked in a while, notice it looks like she is (finally, yay!) putting a little weight back on. She also looks stressed and frazzled, not drunk or wasted. Looks also like she doesn’t feel well, she’s probably shakey and feverish. She was probably nervous too because she knew her voice was going to suck and she had not been on stage in a while! Wouldn’t you be stressed?
She herself said she should have cancelled this show but if she had, people would have said bad things about her anyway. She couldn’t win. Just the fact that she performed, shows that she is eager to get back to work. This is not the action of someone who is a hopeless junkie, it’s more the action of a person who is sick and has problems but who really wants to make things better. I give her props for making that effort. She showed up, she sounded bad but she sang anyway. If she really wanted to get out of doing this show, she easily could have.

Thank ya, k! The thing is, I didn’t think ANYTHING would be worse than the YouTube classics of Winehouse’s performance at Birmingham NIA and the Eden Project. Dayum!

It’s interesting that you bought up her pimps, I mean record company and management. Already, the radio is being inundated with Duffy, Leona Lewis, Adele and Estelle, all British artists. Even the music industry believes Winehouse is on her way down…..

#20: I totally agree. It would serve her right if Zalon branched off and went solo (I think he has the talent to do it). It’s he who carries her show vocally when she can’t/won’t. Plus, her backup band have become experts at covering her mistakes.

What Amy doesn’t understand is that once her record company has squeezed every last drop out of her they can (and they’re no better than pimps, I agree), they’ll discard her like a used tampon. She will not be on top forever…in fact, she’s already started on the downward slope. She can turn it around, there is still hope, but at this rate…?

Should be ‘head’, not heard. Proper spelling is STILL my friend.

1) Zalon (the background singer) should get Winehouse’s money. Not only did he sing most of the songs FOR HER, but kept her from falling, hooked up a rather silent guitar (Amy heard the music in her heard).

2) Her management are worse than street pimps. Amy looked like one of those sickly and tired women, under any condition, will go out and make that money. She was clearly coming down off that crack she smoked before the show. Shame on them.

3) Amy Winehouse’s fans are so in denial, they are probably getting high off the same drugs. Yet these poor souls manage to find the time to inundate gossip sites and call everyone ‘haters’. She is deteriorating, mentally, physically and emotionally. She couldn’t even give her husband (that pillar of society) the full support, those drugs don’t wait, y’know!!!

For the love of monkeys, is there no one left in her life who would even have a vested interest in getting her back in shape and saving her? No agents who will miss the money, at the very least? Please, someone, help this girl and don’t let her end up being the Billy Holiday of the the 21st century. So sad.

I am sorry. I can’t feel sorry for her. There are many talented people who will never get the chance to perform or make it big and she has thrown it away for what? Her next fix of whatever? Shame. She is her own demise.
