Amy Winehouse REALLY sucks live.






What a weekend, out of hospital for a Nelson Mandela birthday concert, then to Glastonbury, attacks a fan and back to hospital. It's the wacky work of everyone's favourite crackhead, Amy Winehouse.
Seriously, I don't get the appeal of Winehouse at all. She cannot sing live to save her life. It was actually pitiful to watch her on stage as she bends and jerks her paper thin limbs about, hoikes her skirt to her fanny, warbles off key and out of tune and out of synch with her back up singers, and yet everyone still waffles on about her as though she's the second coming of Mamma Cass/Janis Joplin.
Weird. Yet I can't stop rubbernecking this train wreck. Dear marmalade, I truly can't.

    I think she is / was very talented, but the real public attraction to her is more of a morbid curiousity - like watching a spider circling a plughole - you watch entranced until it disappears...

  2. Great image, and so true.
    She's quite barking mad.

    She has emphysema - basically the lung tissue degenerating - it's hardly good for your singing. If I was treating her I wouldn't let her out of the hospital, and if she / her manager / her record company insisted then I'd have them triple sign disclaimers and not let her back in.

    What she's doing is suicide. She should be 'sectioned' for her own good.

  5. She's a multimillionaire Conan, seems to me they can pretty much do what they like.

    She used to be fantastic. I'm not usually a fan of the "genre" she does, but Back to Black blew me away. Remember, she writes her own material as well.

    She was well able to sing live until she really took a turn for the worse a year or two ago.

    I agree with Conan that she should be in hospital.

    BTW How does one get emphysema at 24? And don't say the drugs. There are loads of druggies in Dublin but we don't hear about them dying of emphysema, it's usually other stuff.

    I think she has a nice voice, original, her personal life is just a tragedy, she is so young as well, you’d think her parents would try get a handle on the situation. If it were my daughter I’d stalk her until she got herself together. Hopefully she get sorted out and put her antics behind her.

    One thing though she ruined The Specials, Hey Little Rich Girl, for that she should be severely punished.

    To a degree, I suppose. Even her millions will run out if she has to be on oxygen and a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

    Noticed Mark Ronson used another singer for 'Valerie' at Glastonbury. Professionals won't work with her if she ends up wasting their time. I think she's lost the gig doing the next Bond film theme song as well.

    Haven't a clue, I always associated it with elderly smokers. ALthough I seem to remember something about the model Christy Turlington getting it too-from chain smoking I think. I suppose if you don't eat and have a weakened immune system you leave yourself open to strange and unusual ailments.

    Too right Manuel. I'm not saying it is the case but is amazing how parents can change or not give a shit about their kids when their kids are supplementing their income, Britney and Lohan for example.

    In other drivingy news my nuther half failed his driving test for the 3rd time today and on the way home from the test he got done for speeding ahh har har, how I laughed.

  12. I haven't heard her cds so I can't really comment on her talent.
    In the recent interview she gave to Rolling Stone, she doesn't think her lifestyle/drug use is a problem. Since her family couldn't give a shit, she'll most likely be dead soon.

    Too much, too young. No support - although to be fair to her family she does seem like a pretty willful woman and she is over 18 so presumably their influence depends on how much she's willing to let them have.

    She's surrounded by toxic sycophants who will say and do anything to please the star they cluster around. Her brain is addled and she can't make good decisions, but most of all she seems deeply, deeply troubled and unhappy. She's a tragedy.

    I'm not a fan of sectioning but under her precarious circumstances, with no support and every possible enticement available back to drugs and smoking despite emphysema, i think it could well save her life.
    Plus she needs a press-free year. That lot can be almost second-degree murderous themselves.

    You can't go sectioning people who are not a threat to society, the girl is killing herself. By all means help the lady but ye can't go messing with free will man.

    "A patient can be sectioned if they are perceived to be a threat to themselves or other people" she is certainly a threat to herself, but whether she should be sectioned or not is a different matter. She seems content to slowly destroy herself.

    I ain't saying you can't do it I am saying you shouldn't. She has no dependents, i mean if she had children and was off smoking weed and crack with blatant disregard then i'd say kill the bitch. But when she is only harming herself it is a free will issue dude.

    Nonny, I agree, and it's a thorny issue to be sure. I think sectioning should be used only very, very, very cautiously. I wouldn't, however, limit it to just those people with dependents. All that says is that your life isn't worth saving unless you are a parent or guardian.

    In this case I would say an addict has, by definition, very little free will. Is she to blame for getting addicted - she certainly is responsible for setting off down that road. This isn't regular addiction though, it's a car smash being played out in front of millions. If the press cared for human life more than money, they would cease writing about her until she got a purchase back on her life. To have to scrabble around for a grip on things in front of the media must only make things worse for somebody as troubled as she is.

    It would be good to see her get the help she needs because she is clearly unable to help herself. She isn't herself.

    To be sure Miss Sam, the media can fuel some God awful situations it really is about time they are held accountable.

    I do think addicts with kids should be sectioned or thrown is buning vat of oil purely because they have the potential to ruin innocent lives. In saying that I am not a fan of sectioning people unless it is REALLY nessecary plus there is little point in sectioning an addict unless they actually want help. And no I don't sympathise with drug addictions from weed to crack they sicken me. Why should law abiding tax payers suffer the ills they create. Gas them I say. GAS THEM.

  19. I thought her father was trying to get her some help at one point, certainly he seemed dead set against her marrying 'Blaaaakeeee', which makes sense.

    Her dad actually went to their local mental health authority to try and get her sectioned about a year ago. He told the press about it because that was the only way she would listen to him.

    The NHS refused, on the basis that unless she's in immediate danger of dropping dead, or acutely vulnerable due to not knowing which way is up, she can't be sectioned.

    The rules over here about when you can and can't section someone are pretty strict and well defined.

    It used to be a bit more, er, lax in the Emerald Isle. I think the 1947 Mental Treatment Act (aka "the green form") has been consigned to the dustbin of history these days.

    Unfortunately the world is full of Amy Winehouses, most of them have no money and no publicity either...

    I do feel sorry for the woman though. No-one deserves to die of an old man's disease at 24. And for her parents.

  21. She sucks. Does any one know why she started hitting the fan? Did they grab her boob or something?

  22. I believe they said something less that delightful about her darling Blake, so she let rip.
