Don't Count On It

Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute > Amy Winehouse

aameswino__opt.jpg

Despite her fragile state, Amy Winehouse will supposedly play Nelson Mandela's 90th Birthday Concert on Friday and Glastonbury….with an ambulance crew on standby at the gigs, the British media is reporting.

We really hope that's not true!

Health first, girl. Your health first.

Amy is reportedly determined not to let Nelson Mandela or her supporters down.

Wino's not going to let emphysema put a damper on things!

Wino's enablers entourage will probably be banned from hanging with her at the gigs. Poppa Winehouse said, "What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her? I don't want her hanging out with mates like Pete Doherty."

Concert organizers are looking to outfit her backstage area like a private hospital suite with a massage bed and paramedics.

But, that's not all Amy needs!

A friend reveals, "After everything Amy has been through, her main fear is that she has lost her lucky pendant containing a lock of hubby Blake's hair. Amy is desperate to find it because she reckons she can only perform at her best when she's wearing it."

That sounds like crack talk!

Do y'all think Wino will make the gigs?

    If Nelson Mandela has not already told her to remain in the hospital, then anyway there might not be a lot of truth in the story. The doctors know what's required and they would not agree to such a strange scenario.

    There are really talented people in the world dying every day of diseases like cancer, over which they have no control. This barely talented muppet has brought it all upon herself and we're supposed to be sympathetic?!. Let's just turn our backs and let her die in ignominy.

    Perez, Why the fuck do you care so much about what Amy Winehouse is doing or not doing. She is a weak simple-minded celebrity who obviously does not care about her mind,body or spirit. If this isn't a wake-up call to get clean and sober I don't know what is.

    I am devestated by her actions, such a waisted talent.(reminds me of Whitney Houston) Everytime I logon to the internet, I fear the inevitable headline "Amy WInehouse DEAD." Not dealing with her health issues first is just idiotic! GET WELL AMES!

    Tell her to bloody stay home. She's not worth all this certainly?
    .
    What's with all the catering too, and fawning over? She has been very good at her 'talent' in a good while, if she ever was all that great to begin with.

    Not a fan. Send the junky home please.

    She'll never make the gigs, and on the very small chance she does, shell bomb. Amy winehouse needs to take a good 2 years free from singing and sort her life out! shes a mess!

    Well thats a first! How can they say that when she regularly cancells apperences?

  44. Sam says – reply to this

    The fact is, she is a drug addict. A drug addict will NOT get sober as long as she/he have enablers. Somebody needs to take control over all of her affairs, money etc…..They did it with Brittany………

    Why doesn't Amy's father file for conservatorship over her estate like Brit Brit's father did? This way he will have control over her actions until she is of sound body and mind to do it herself. This is a matter of life or death. Based on Amy's action of the past and decisions for the future, we know which option she leaning towards. Someone should step in before she steps out, for good.

    "determined not to let Nelson Mandela or her supporters down".
    Please!I think that ship has sailed! She's is in such a state now she may never come back. Emphysema at her age??? tsk…tsk. To keep from getting any sicker she has to give it all up, the drugs even her cigs starting now and then forever!!!!!!. Given her situation…….. most likely impossible. That girl is living on a prayer!

  48. 48

    Are her people greedy or just crazy? She's got 70% lung capacity and they expect her to be on pitch with her songs? Fuck that. She's gonna be walking around with an oxygen mask between sets. Just don't have her sing songs like "Take The Box" or her cover of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" where she hit some high-up notes! I can't believe her father. Nelson Mandela will understand if she's not there, for God's sake.

    PLEASE stop posting about amy winehouse. i don't know one person who really gives a flying fuck what she's doing with her life. every day there's something new about her on your site, and i NEVER read it. frankly, i wouldn't care in the least if she pulled a kurt cobain. who's with me?

  55. 55

    She needs to get healthy before she does anything. BTW, Perez… It's not crack talk if someone has a lucky charm, or superstitions.

    The pants and short-pants that AMY always wears appear geriatric. Her pants she wears are simply the wrong 'cut' or style. It always look like she's wearing a feeble 90 year old ladies pants.
    Skeevy!

    Honestly??? Letting Nelson Mandela DOWN??? I think it will be more of a show of support for him to bow out gracefully and donate all of the $$$ that were going to go towards putting together her PRIVATE MEDICAL SUITE for his foundations. There are people dying bc they don't have enough to eat or bc they can't get proper medical care… and this selfish idiot is wasting away all her opportunities. It would be a step in the right direction, that's all I'm saying…

  58. J-Dub says – reply to this

    She never cared about letting her supporters down before, so why should this time be any different? All the canceled appearances and the half-assed performances when she DID show up - This time will be no different! The show is wasting time on her. They should invite a more deserving and more talented performer who would find it quite an honor and privilege to perform for Mr. Mandela.

    why would she "perform" for Nelson Mandela anyway, who thought that'd be a good idea? can't they force her into rehab or something?

    This so damn sad….
    She was so talented, and then she had to go do a Whitney and fuck up her voice.
    Reading some of these comments we got a lot of people basically saying fuck her. I guess I can respect some of these ignorant childish comments to some extent. But this is what I gotta say:
    It’s rare in today’s music industry for real music with depth to be created. Most of the music I hear are from talentless wanna be "artists" who just want to put another one of theirs songs into mainstream, which is then taken in by gullible listeners. The first time I heard her," you know I am no good," I stopped what I was doing, took down her name, and went out to buy her cd. I listened to her whole album and to my amazement liked each and every song. She brought such sassy passionate smooth melody with funky beats and touching instrumentals supported by tenacious vocals.
    Being a big fan of artists like Billy holiday and Mrs Franklin, Amy's music was like a breath of fresh air amidst a dense fog "musical" crap

    While I'm sure it would be dissapointing for her to miss the concert for Nelson Mandela - it's also counterproductive to getting well! In her condition there is NO WAY the people that actually do care about her (if any) should be letting her play at a concert anytime soon. If she's dissapointed, tough shit - should have thought about that before doing all the drugs that are ruining her health. She needs to get well first - then worry about the career, or she'll end up killing herself and then where will her career be?

    To all you imbeciles and morons who say, "She brought it on herself, fuck her!" let me say that most of the shit that happens to all of us, we "brought it on ourselves!" I think she should be in the hospital. Period. I don't think people ought to give in to her demands no matter how noble they seem. Nelson, at 90 might not be around much longer. Yes, it's true Amy might not be around too much longer. So what. Dead is forever! She needs to be locked up in a mental hospital for serious rehab. She needs to get clean, get counseling and get stronger, mentally and physically. This girl is unstable. Wouldn't care if she begged, or threatened or whatever. The answer is no. Nelson needs to tell her himself. No. Stay in the fucking hospital. I'd bet it is someone who stands to gain from it or profit from it somehow that is encouraging it. NO!

    As a humanitarian, shouldn't Mr. Mandela and/or his people ask her to look after herself, rather than perform?
