Amy Winehouse in London

[philouze]

Check this shit out, Ladies & Gentlemen:

LONDON (AFP) - Troubled soul singer Amy Winehouse kicked off her 17-date tour with a shambolic performance that saw fuming fans booing and marching out, reports said Thursday.

The concert at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, was a chance for the 24-year-old to get back to singing and put her woes behind her.

Winehouse has had "health issues" -- widely reported to be drug and alcohol abuse -- and her party-loving husband Blake Fielder-Civil is being held on grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice charges.

But Wednesday's gig at the NIA, which can hold up to 13,000 people, was slammed by angry fans as a "disgrace" after she turned up late and stumbled about the stage.

When punters started jeering, Winehouse snapped: "Let me tell you something. First of all, if you're booing, you're a mug for buying a ticket.

"Second, to all those booing, just wait till my husband gets out of incarceration -- and I mean that."

The Birmingham Mail newspaper's music critic Andy Coleman said it was "one of the saddest nights of my life".

"I saw a supremely talented artist reduced to tears, stumbling around the stage and, unforgivably, swearing at the audience," he wrote.

James Dyas demanded his money back, according to London's Evening Standard newspaper.

"She came on stage half an hour late. She managed four songs but was slurring her words and swaying all over the place," he said.

"She fell into the guitar stand and dropped the microphone -- it was atrocious. The song dedicated to her husband was so bad it was like swinging a cat round your head."

An, from Birmingham, commented on The Times newspaper's website: "Her singing was awful, out of tune and slurred. She sang for around 50 minutes -- drinking throughout.

"I have never seen so many people leave a show. 'Valerie' was my favourite song -- she massacred it!"

Pete Massera, from north-west England, added: "It was an absolutely atrocious gig. I, like many others in the audience, got our coats and left before she even finished the set."

Gary Atwell, from nearby Rugby, said "streams" of fans walked out, according to the BBC website.

"I went out for a sneaky cigarette half way through and at least 40 people left, just in that five minutes," he said.

"Valerie", the closing number, descended into chaos when Winehouse stopped singing, dropped the microphone and walked off stage.

Winehouse, named best British female solo artist at the Brit Awards in February, has rarely been out of the newspapers in recent months due to her lifestyle issues.


Now, if any youtube link surfaces, I'll take it !
What a trainwreck.. Just like Spammy, to say the least !

[naturochem]

Well, at least the twat hasn't bred yet....

[binnie]

Oh dear...

Sad isn't it?

If Johnny Thunders had done this, it would have been cool; I wonder why I react so differently because this relates to a woman?

What a waste of a talent.

[philouze]

Exactly, Binnie...
Oddly enough, I didn't react that way when it came to Gaygar..

[thome]

What talent!!!???

Artificially boosted media hack.

Brittney all of these bitches have nothing.

Trianwreck tabloid ad filler... filler for the empty space on E so they can make bucks off the advertisers.

Get with the program people.

If her management and the production team didn't want ther high she wouldn't be.

[diamondD]

I couldn't name one song she's done and I'm already sick of hearing about this trainwreck.

In the words of Clive they're just a couple stupid fuckin cunts who should just shut their fuckin faces and DIE! The best thing they can fuckin do! :mad:

[binnie]

Sorry guys, but Amy has a great voice and a real jazz feel to her music. I'd sau that she needs to work with better songwriters though.

She ain't a bubble-gum popstar like Britney was, that's for sure.

I think it's a shame when anyone lets them selves get like this, especially someone who is only 24.

[philouze]

I don't like her voice that much, Binnie..
TO ME, it sounds like a duck with a cold..
I thought her music sounded like REAL SOUL/RNB, y'know, Stax/Motown (the real shit). I downloaded her album and was disappointed. There's a Reggae feel to it that I just don't like.

If you want REAL soul, listen to Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings.. That lady's the shit. She's a badass soul sista !!

[binnie]

Well, I'm not a huge fan of her music - all I'm saying is that she has talent, and that it's a waste that she's ended up like this....

[philouze]

I second you on that one, pal, don't get me wrong.. ;)
Just sayin that this bitch is sooooo fucked up (thanks to her record label and her management), it's just Pathetic.

You know, I hear people saying that, but I just don't see it, and I'm usaully a fan of that style...I just don't like her...didn't like her before she was famous, don't like her now. I think her voice is overrated too...never heard her singing any better than my sister does in her bedroom live.

Although...credit where credit's due..."Back To NBlack" hasn't left the charts since it entered.

And, on a side salad...philouze...read the friggin atricle, it clearly states "national indoor arena in BIRMINGHAM" not London...there's more than one city in England...

[philouze]

Oh FUCK..
My mistake, Shaun..
"All Apologies", as this guy sang once...

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings are playing in Indy this weekend.

The Dap Kings were Amy Winehouse's backing band on her most recent cd Back To Black. Not sure, but I believe a few of the tunes were theirs too. Back to Black really is a good, solid, well written, incredibly produced album from start to finish. There are not many cd's out like that nowadays.

She's only 24? That chick is crazy too. Crazy girls usually fuck pretty good and freaky too.

Translation: I'd hit it.

[Nickdfresh]

It's a shame. I like her voice and some of her stuff. I think she's the real deal, which is why she's probably so fucked up to begin with...

[saint]

What a shame, I think she could be greate given a 3 year rehab stint.

It might have turned out better if her last name was Beerhouse.
:(

[DLR'sCock]

I honestly have no idea who this person is, nor do I care, although I have heard the name mentioned.

[philouze]

She's a shame. She won't last long.

[rustoffa]

She should join the B52s'!!!

:confused:

Yeap!!!!! 81 ALL THE WAY.

[BITEYOASS]

You know she's doing a song with Pete Doherty. I bet they'll shoot up in between songs.

[Matt White]

Waste of talent..............


Ahhh...for the days when an artist used to have a handful of recordings out to turn into a fuckup...........

[diamondsgirl]

she stands there doing "lines" on stage (or pretends to)

She's a somewhat talented media-whore, IMO and so is her "partner" whateverthefuck his name is....

[Matt White]

That guy looks like he should be pumping gas.......

LOL. Exactly.

Amy...you might want to wait until people actually give a fuck...lol

[Matt White]

(In best Mr. GRimsdale voice)

Exactly, exactly

"Whos that girl? Some drunk.........."


Even Madonna waited until she had a few releases to start acting nutty............

[Antman]

She's a fuckin mess. A real trainwreck. Shit, Britney Spears laughs at this bitch. Another no talent, drugged up hack who's hyped so much, people actually think she's good. Move along, move along. Nothing to see here.

[binnie]

She doesn't have kids though, right? At least its only her own life she's fuckin' up....

[Terry]

Haven't even heard any of her tunes...about the only thing I know is she looks like death warmed over and gives the appearance of being fucked up on dope and booze.

Nothing of interest here.

I mean, is she actually any good?

I am so fucking with you on this one! I'm sick of these dopes who make news for being drunk and on dope than actually doing something af value.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

It's funny, back in the day most artists could keep their composure onstage when they were drugged up.
