A Tale Of Two Junkies

Filed under: Anglophilia > Pete Doherty > Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse took to the stage at the MTV Europe Video Music Awards on Thursday night and warbled her way through Back To Black.

Click here to check out her less than stellar performance.

On the other hand, Pete Doherty was also part of the show in Munich, and he was pretty damn good!

Please know this:

Amy Winehouse IS purposely trying to kill herself and if she succeeds (which I think she will) she will have go down in history as her idols have as one of "the greats". She is brilliantly stupid.

When will you shits geddit!! She HATES shit like MTV and who can blame her. Contractually obliged to play this european extension of american shit!! Dire Straits wrote about, still nobody listens. Endless gifted people hate the concept of MTV. She don't need the US bullshit, she never wanted it, she ain't no brit brit or lilo, clarkson, p diddy ,poo diddy, puff dildo or all that other shite that the US fobs of as talent. Record company contract bullshit. WELL DONE AMY, keeping it real!

It's so sad to see Amy like this. She give me goose-bumps when she performs well, she's an old soul in a young body. Good on Pete, though! Now there is your proof that you should never give up on somebody, no matter how low they seem to be. Amy has talent, so let's give her positive vibes and send her healing wishes.

SOOOOOOOOOOO, what is the problem man???Leave my Wino alone, she won she can be drunk, hi, or whatever!!! She is a super star in development!, Thank you Perez for your support to your favorite singer Ms. Amy Winehouse, you just make me sick like Dog the Bounty Asshole, I am so mad, and sad about so much hatred in you guys, It just come out when it strikes Home !!!

Re: onlydreamin –
Hey, I do believe Perez is a fan of the Amy! I think the problem is that when she is high or drunk she tends to slur her words and timing and throw her back-up off.As far as I've been able to see, Perez has given Amy nothing but the best. Then again, i luvs my perez.

Amy, I love you and I'm worried about you. If deep down you know something is not right, then just say enough is enough and turn to somebody you trust for help, it's OK. Maybe your Dad, you said once he could always help you sort yourself out. I bet he could do it again if you gave him a chance. I know he's ready to help if you just say the word. Maybe you feel fine, but don't disregard what your family and friends are saying, because sometimes it's hard to see yourself accurately. I don't want anything bad to happen to you, it would break my heart. Take care of yourself and stick around because there's a lot of people who love you and there's a lot ahead of you, both personally and professionally.

OK, now I get it with this band. Not bad for sounding so 'influenced' by the Clash and the Kinks.

227

well amy's just a mess……at least Doherty is cultured compared to bee-hive Amy…. Amy just seems like an all-around loser….i really hate her eyelining….
Lilly says – reply to this

228

Pete is the most talented musician and songwriter along with Lennon, McCartney and the Gallagher Brothers.. I don't think that anyone from the US can keep up with them. They are brilliant!
go Pete!!!
Lily says – reply to this

229

The EMA's were AWESOME!! German band TOKIO HOTEL totally rocked with their performance of Monsoon in the rain. Perez, you should put their video on your site too!

I was really impressed by Babyshambles. Pete seems to be doing well.
But Amy on the other hand…

angiehater says – reply to this

233

I'd never heard him sing before, but I found this performance verygood. I hope he cleans up his act, because he could really be up there with Sting and Phil Collins. Good luck to him!

Liked him better when he was smokin' crack with Kate….

IDK, I have such a weird fascination of Pete. That's a fucking hot mess if I've ever seen one. Wino she's just interesting.
NiceLegs says – reply to this

236

You know, I love Amy's music. I was a huge fan. I promoted her to everyone who hadn't heard of her. I dressed up as her for Halloween, and went to a gay party, and they loved my costume. I loved wearing it.

But watching that performance today made me angry. She doesn't care anymore. Threw in the towel. Throwing it all away with no regard to her MANY fans and people who care for her well being. Recreational drinking and drug use (I guess) is one thing, but when it affects your work and you can't even perform somewhat coherently, I have a problem with that. And I think she is nowhere near going to rehab or wanting help. She is an addict in every sense of the word. I feel like washing my hands of her.

GO PETE!!! LOVE YOU!!! Amazing Babyshambles performance …
it sure hurts says – reply to this

242

It sure hurts to see Amy like this. This woman I fell in love with, it just hurts. C'mon Amy, you're a good-hearted person, you can't let this happen to people who love you, it's morally wrong. Help us out here! Put the career on hold if necessary, we'll wait until you sort things out.

When Amy won a prise she just sad: Ehum… Thanks. And walkd down to her sitplace again… and when se performane she was nervous all the time. I know that I suck att writing english…. so you don´t have to say it. And one more thing.. Perez… when you are so ugly … maybe you should stop be mean at the famous people and start with try to love your self as you are. Beacuse all this just handle about that you are so fucking jealuse. And you all know it. So grow up!

The whole time I was watching this on TV, I was thinking.. "Is she singing words?"
octopusinks says – reply to this

249

I still can understand why people give a shit about this guy. he is not good looking or talented. This song sounds like a complete rip off of any Kinks song. Mabey if we stop paying attention to him he will dissolve into drug addiction and never be heard from again.
Nanna says – reply to this

250

I love them both
maysha says – reply to this

251

jesus perez, you're a fucking punk….this is the same performance she gave when you sang her praises a few weeks back….I seriously don't understand how you decide if things suck or rock….you're so back-and-forth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PICK ONE PEREZ, and stick with it. I love her performances…i dont like to see artists perform exactly as they do on their cd. If I wanted that, I'd listen to the cd. live means live.

Re: Ange –
Yeah I couldn't see the clip on here but I saw it on MTV tonight… so sad… She has such a pretty, soulful voice but that was probably the worst performance I've ever seen… I barely even recognized the song and I have the cd! I was surprised people even clapped for her at the end. What was she on this time?? Compared to that- Britney's comeback performance is looking better and better.
