It's totally fine. go find Britney instead
She was definitely wasted, but she sounded great for being wasted. Plus, I was amazed at how she could stand up with those huge ass high heels on. If she doesn't start eating soon she'll die of malnutrition before the drugs can kill her.
Thank God! I don't normally like your commentary, Perez, but for once you right on. She was horrible and she wasn't that good. To anyone who is digging her….you're an idiot.
that was no mess. for all i care, she owns the song and she can sing any which way to sing it and it will not sound bad. what are you so jealous about?
WHEN DOES IT END WITH YOU PEREZ?!!! GIVE THE GIRL A BREAK! SHE HAS BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A WEEK AND HAS HAD NUMEROUS PHYSICAL TROUBLES AND YOUR FAT ASS HAS THE NERVE TO TALK BADLY YET AGAIN ABOUT HER. I AM SO SICK OF YOUR NASTY COMMENTS AND RANTS ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL AND GIFTED GIRL AND I REALLY WISH SOMEONE WOULD HARPOON YOUR FAT ASS. YOU MAKE ME SICK! LEAVE AMY ALONE, SHE DID A WONDERFUL JOB, AND OF COURSE YOU CALCULATEDLY LEFT OUT THE BEST PART OF THE EVENING, THE END PERFORMANCE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO SHOOT YOU SO YOU CAN GO AWAY. FAT ASS CREEPY FAG. AMY ROCKS!
I feel bad for her!
Well… Her performance… It was a little better than at RiR
Shame it's in support of a terrorist.
Amy did great. Her eyes are lost but the rest was dialed in.
Why does there always have to be negative news with you? I think she did an amazing job! Did you hear the crowd?? They were going wild.
Hmm…perez on stage you would hear the sound of crickets and the sound of you slurping on Sir Eltons ass.
Karma will get you.
She totally rocked…What till shes back and sober…she pisses all over most female artists who have been airbrushed to death and never sing live…she keeps it real…everyones got problems its just a shame hers are in the papers everyday!! give her a break…shes brilliant to watch what ever state shes in!!
Perez i got two words to say to you… "Hair Flip"… You Bitter Bitch!
apt song choice.
i think she better go to rehab.
OMG WINO IS A RACIST UGLY CRACK HEAD WHO **HAD** TALENT BUT THE CRACK HAS KILLED IT ALONG WITH HER BRAIN CELLS SHES BEEN IN HOSPITAL COS SHE TOOK A OD SO DONT FEEL SORRY HER!!! KARMA IS A BITCH HUH … IT SERVES HER RIGHT NEXT TIME SHE WANTS TO SING RACIST RANTS ON VIDEO!!!!!!!!
Perez…I would like to see your fat ass up there singing after being in the hospital all week. With her having a lung infection…she sang not bad. Why do you have to be a punk ass bitch…always dissing on people. For god sake, I think I am going to start my own site and write what a has been you are. All you have been doing lately is put stuff on your site that has been posted like for a week on other sites. Oh…and your clothing line sucks ass too. Get a fucking life you pathetic waste of skin.
Shut the fuck up you fat idiot. Amy's performance was excellent, she does not just do the exact same vocals and styles each time she does a song. She is talented and likes to try some new things. Maybe if you spent less time trying to trash people like amy,ashlee,madonnaetc and more time saying positive things god wouldnt have given you such a pig face.
Lay off asshole
Shana get a grip… Any excuse to cuss. Fool.
there were worst performances of her…i think it was not too bad
I though her singing was great! The backups singers were awful though.
YOU HORRIBLE HORRIBLE MAN!!! SHE WAS BRILLIANT LAST NITE AND EVERYONE BUT U CAN ADMIT IT!!! LEAVE HER ALONE TO GET ON WITH HER LIFE AND STOP TRYING TO DRAG HER DOWN!!!!
Re: SHANA – she's not racist. Ummm…if she truly were I doubt the organizers of the Mandela concert would have let her perform.
Are you black? Have you ever done drugs? Why are you so hateful?
get laid BEAAAATCH!
WTF!….She looked and sounded GREAT!…Lighten Up!
I thought she did okay! I've heard a lot worse from a lot "better"and I enjoyed that a great deal.
It never ceases to amaze me, why so much attention is given to this untalented mess of a woman. She is a drug infested loser.
What is up with her one back up singer??? Spastic…….
I think it was a fine performance. She's not a plastic american pop-star from american idol, she's a drug addict and also an artist. I hope she'll stop killing herself and switch to a less dangerous habit! Can't she just be drunk all the time instead of smoking crack???
It wasn't that bad… She was just trying to mix it up. Giver her a break!
i thought she rocked. she just got out of the fucking hospital, probably can't breathe worth a damn, and she DID it. i'm so glad that she showed UP and performed. Hey, she's amy winehouse. who else has five grammys in a year? some chick from rolling stone was on access last night talking about her interview with Amy. she ended it by saying she is a true TRUE rock star and she admires her. that's rolling stone perez. now leave amy the fuck alone.
I think she sounds good actually….maybe not her best but still good. Why is this an item?
WTF!! She needs and INTERVENTION - FAST!!!
Considering her other recent performances, that was pretty good! And she sounds good, which is surprising since she has emphysema.
I think her performance was good considering what she has been thru…and I have seen worse performances from her. It is easy to call someone " a hot mess" because it is "funny"…haha!…the young lady has addiction problems…and maybe other problems that we may not be aware of as outsiders. Addiction is a serious illness…I am sure ther are many people out there who come to this site have some kind of addiction or have freinds or relatives with the same addcition problems as Amy Winehouse….they may not want to admit it or face it but they do. Plus we are not the ones in the piblic eye for all the world to see our addictions. She is a strong girl in many ways to get up on a stage knowing that everyone knows so much about her personal life. I wonder how many could do that. Give her a break…and maybe take a look at our own lives or those close to us instead of being so judgemental of Amy Winehouse.
Jesus, Sinatra remembered more words at 84 than she does @ 24.
Damn, her band is tight though. I pray that one day they will get to perform with someone who really gives a shite about their craft. Amy's really dissing the whole band right now. They deserve better.

you're the sick fuck perezhilton. ppl come here to see the fat stupid ass make an idiot of himself each day. the jokes on you.
christ, that was a good rendition! what the hell are you on about, perez! those guys were dancing great.
She's terrible. Seriously, I think she's tone deaf. She's either too fast or too slow for the music, skips portions of the friggin song, and keeps yanking on the bottom of her dress. Hi hot mess!
SHE DIDN'T SUCK HALF AS BAD AS BRITNEY!
What a LOSER! Damm get rid of her already. shes had her chances to straighten out.
ugh, she didn't suck completely. but what a waste. someone with an amazing voice that appears to be so apathetic about the opportunities thrown at her. finally, I must say I'm bored with her despite an amazing album. eventually people will get sick of her shananigans and realize there is no more scandal…especially when she hasn't recorded anything and her gimmicky style starts to look really stupid and dated.
.. Perez,
Why don't you have the balls to show the performance where she rocked the house..Oh yeah tats right you have no BALLS.. Your a QUEEN!!
"Free Nelson Mandela" Amy Winehouse is fabulous!!
Not bad at all. Why don't you put on your pink bikini and dance for us, fat pig Mario?
AMY, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WEED JEW???? What the hell happened to joor boice?? Joo jused to be one of the best singers out there? How mosh drugs must joo take for joor boice to be this f*cked up???? QUIT THE DROGAS, JOO LOST JOOR boicE!!!!
La Coacha from ChismeTime.com
err FUCK OFF PEREZ!! actually she was great last nyt, i dont think you have ever been to her concerts have you perez!!
she was on top last nyt and yoo are just trying it on BASTARD
im tired of your hating!!
I was there…she was actually not bad… her finale performance was great
Yeah i didn't really like how she did "Rehab" BUT she f@ckin nailed the "Free Nelson Mandela" song!!Of course you being such a good friend of hers you chose to put up her worst performance of the evening…hmmmm
Why don't you shut your mouth you miserable fat leech. Amy was a little wobbly and nervous to start but if you check out all of the songs she did you can see she soon got into her stride, especially (as so many are saying already) in the "Free Nelson Mandela" finale. Bloody amazing considering recent events - and YOU are just a cruel, talentless, bitter, back-stabbing piece of filth. I sincerely hope that Amy kicks the crap out of you next time she sees you - that is - if she can can remember who the fuck you are.
Re: The H – "She's either too fast or too slow for the music"….You do know she does this on purpose right??She comes from the jazz world where it is a rule to play like that with the music…
perez don't know his art! Amy was amazing! What perez, you want live performances to sound like the original off the cd? Perez says, "I like paintings with horses and boats and butt brownies"
Perez is a joke - we're all reading someone that's part of the breakdown of modern civilization! GO 1984!
She was at least doing well… until she tried to show mandela her pudenda…
I think she was better than she has been in the past! Also…. it was funny to see the backup singers/dancers. It was kinda like they knew she was gonna suck, so they overdid their routine. Hey… someone's gotta pick up the slack.
She did a great job considering what state she has been in lately.
Perez,
If you had any Balls ..oh yeah thats right you don't your a QUEEN BEE! You would have posted the "Free Nelson Mandela" clip. she rocked the house … I lov the way she dances , she feels her music. Most artists that have Jazz infused in their bodies dance wild & crazy. If anybody checks out her past performances from years back they would know this is her STYLE! Lay off Amy Winehouse & get a life! ..
Stop being a lard ass Perez. She sounded fine and considering that last vid of her she was good. It seems hospital has helped as she doesn't look so horrible as well.
She sounds like Elvis when he was on drugs…….
she was ok but she didn't rock it like Eddie Grant did. She was flashing her vijayjay for some reason as well. She will suck at Glast tonight, the only reason she pulled it off last night was because she only had 2 songs to sing. I was stood beside her dad in the crowd. If she's not match fit, she shouldn't play.
yah…Sorry Perez. I thought she did great, considering.
There is nothing "hot mess" about this performance. She did a wonderful revamp of Rehab!
As long as she's alive, I'm okay with it.
This is bitch is not billie holiday. She needs to sit down. Billie Holiday suffered the same addictions but she was always a lady through and through. Truth be told i LOVE amy winehouse's voice but all that crackheaded writhing is horrible. She needs to just stand there and sing. I'm not buying into this tragic singer business, she got a chance a she blew it. Give it to someone who deserves it.
This bitch is still singing about not going to rehab!!!! Unbelieveable…….She looks like shit and sounds like shit…I don't think anybody can do any thing with her….I am sick of looking at Amy, she won't help herself
That was fucking AMAZING!!!
GOD! get it together woman or step off! holy.
She did a great job-no clue what your problem is Perez. It was awesome. I guess you could have done better…oh wait..no!
She seemed to get through it quite well. Certainly we've seen worse from her! Now, if she's this good being a drug addict who's just been in the hospital for a week with a lung condition… just think of how amazing she would be if she cleaned up?!
What part of this was a "hot mess?" It looked like any one of her hundreds performances - I mean, come on Perez (I heart ya, but…)…be a LITTLE unbiased…I know she's a fuck-up, but that performance was NOT that bad at all. It was normal for her…the weird movements and everything is her "thing." It might not have been her BEST performance of all time, but "hot mess?" I don't think so.
just dye already seriously. ok i no thats kinda mean, byut seriouslt qwew just waiting 4 it b honest
While her performance of Rehab wasn't great, she did a much better job with her second song. I'd chalk it up to nerves–there were an awful lot of people there… And the fact that she was running around on super high heels must mean she wasn't too cracked out, right?
She's a fucking joke. She's more famous for being a junkie than for any musical talent she might have. Same for Pete Doherty. Euthanize them, already.
Poor girl looks sicker than a dawg. But at least she doesn't look wasted, just a little scared. Give her a break, at least she showed up after being in the hospital for a week. She is at least trying.
I don't understand why she sang that song. She should have sung something else more appropriate. Especially considering her own personal problems and the fact it was a tribute to Nelson Mandela.
Re: sam –
WORD!
why is it that perez hilton is the only one ragging on this girl. does he (she) have to rag on everybody to be cool?.. stop the hot mess crap.. its old news.
Fierce! bah.
Look. here is the deal. It is so careless and irresponsible to let someone in her condition get up and perform, especially a gig like that one. As long as they keep propping her up on stage, she will continue to make money, which in turn she can use to purchase her drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!Shame, shame, shame, on her "posey". She needs to be sent way to rehab for a long, proper time. It was painful to watch this trainwreck singing in honor of one of the most amazing, powerful men on this universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the best performance she has pulled off in a whiiiiiile….hold your breath perez.
Wow.. that was aweful.. someone should strap a straight jacket on her, and force her to rehab!
dont think it was all that bad sure she has done better but i mean…want to sing perez sing after what she has been through ;P
Does she have any other songs to sing besides Rehab? I don't think she was that bad. She didn't look like she was into it though. I thought the backup singers were more entertaining, LOL!
Why would They even bother?
Did He request Her…why???
Perez, it you that's on crack now. She was AWESOME!!
I think she did pretty amazing considering all she's been through. Give her a break Perez! What are you going to do when something happens to you and people pick your hairy ass apart? Remember KARMA!
Compared to her other recent performances, I really don't think this was bad, and definitely not a hot mess. I love Amy, and really wish she would get her shit together. I would like to see her other performance (a tribute to Nelson Mandella) posted. Lay off Perez, it was NOT a hot mess. There has been much worse.
First, can we just talk about why Nelson Mandela wanted Amy and disinvited Naomi??? I'm just not understanding that rationalization…but anyway.
P Nasty, you are being a tad hard on the Wino. That performance was not THAT bad. Considering the fact that she isn't actually performing a lot and actually working on her craft, it wasn't horrible. I could appreciate the inflection and the riff changes she made to personalize the performance. But I am with you on the fact that we all just miss classic Amy and we want her bad. Sadly, I don't think we will ever see that Amy again. I hope I'm wrong.
WTF?? what a waste…
Let me get this straight: Just a few days ago her father issued a statement confirming that this woman has stage 3 emphysema….and has heart problems because of her drug addictions. So why in the hell is she on the stage singing about how she won't go to "Rehab"???!!! I know that for her agents and recording company it's all about the money….but can't her loving parents stop this??
Take a good look at this video because it's probably one of her last. Sadly, I predict Ms. Winehouse will be dead within 3 months…..
cut the girl some slack. honestly…she's still got the pipes.
I didn't think it was that bad. I think she has more talent drugged up then let's say…lauren conrad? maybe i shall compare apples to apples, LINdSAY LOHAN.
this performance is not a mess, considering everything she's going through it was a brave and brilliant effort and her finale when she covered The Special A.K.A's 1980's hit "Free Nelson Mandella" was AMAZING! why don't you put some of Madge's fucked up and off key live performances (plenty to choose from) and criticize that!
you retards you dont know soul when it's right in front of you, this is the way she sings … she does it in her own way ..this is not because of her situation
she's been worse lately, i actually think she did good, give her a break. hopefully she's trying to stop using.
you can't understand a word she is singing. What a mess.
She was not a hot mess! She looks like a skeleton though. It's sad to watch her waste away. But I thought she did a good job considering how sick she is.
Yeah ok what was up with her trying to show her snatch? we were one more dress lift away from seeing crack crotch….
You don't show your panties at Nelson Mandela's birthday!
But other than that, not SO bad.
Perez, once you don't like someone personally you loose all objectivity. Give credit where credit is due. That was not a hot mess. And people enough of the first crap. It's stupid.
What was up with her trying to show her snatch? We were one more dress lift from seeing crack crotch!
Jesus Christ you're a boring bitchy old queen now. Too predictable.
fuck you, she always sings rehab like this!! she performed 2 other songs, and she was great! especially for someone whos going though a ton of stress and is addicted to a bunch of shit. she doesnt need any more negitivity, you're a dumbass and have no talent.
so fuck you.
Re: Saoir – yea i seen all three. when she performed rehab, valerie, and the free mandela song. she did the best on that.
I really think she should stop singing rehab publicly. It was a clever song before people found out she had a serious drug addiction. Now it is just sad.
dont be harsh! that was good considering she's been in hospital for the past week!
and she actually remembered the words.
so better than nothing.
shut the fuck up, perez. it was not a 'hot mess'. i agree with the person who mentioned that this is how she does all her performances. she changes the song structure, so what? i do think she would sound better if she sang the songs the way they are on the album, though. anyway, if you look at other sites that show pics of her at this event, you can easily see that she is well put together, and actually smiling in some pictures. she looked more sober on this night than she has in years. so good for her, i hope it sticks.
I think she sounded good,but she just looks crazy ( she never really seems to want to be on stage) Her back up singers/ dancers ARE GREAT
