Again, she was singing "Free Blake-y my fella" during the song "Free Nelson Mandela." From clickafrique.com: "To cap it all reports from the concert allege during the grand finale of the concert Winehouse shamelessly changed the lyrics of “Free Nelson Mandela” to “Free Blake-y my fella” using the occasion to campaign for the release of her husband Blake fielder-civil who is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) and perverting the course of justice." Amy doesn't have respect for anyone or anything. She spits on her fans during concerts and people pay for her to spit on them and diss their song lyrics. I surely hope Nelson Mandela beats the shit out of her with his cane.
I think she sounds and looks a thousand times better than her last performance! And I still cant believe that voice comes out of her shriveled up little body! Lets hope she can stay sober long enough to reestablish a career!!!!
I dont think it was a hot mess at all… she did fine, much better than i expected. And she put some variation into it, i think it sounded good. not great, but entertaining and good enough.
Well it was'nt that bad, we all know that she's done worse! I just hate it when singers sing their songs off beat, everyone likes to sing along at concerts and that makes it impossible, and they all do it! But anyways she does look healthier than she has in a long time so thats a plus and I was surprised that she could sing as loud as she did toward the end with the shape that her lungs are supposedly in.
Amy, I promise you I will never give you a dime toward your music sales or concert sales because I am not going to support your crack habit and your death wish. Get off the stage you hag until you can make decent music.
SHE ONLY LOOKS "HEALTHY" BECAUSE SHE HAS A TANNING BED IN HER HOUSE! SO SHE SPENT HOURS IN THERE GETTING BROWN!!! SO SHE WILL LOOK BETTER! BUT SHE IS STILL A HOT MESS! NO TANNING BED CAN HIDE THAT!!! Journalists are writing that she looked "TAN AND RADIANT." FUCK THAT SHIT! SHE LOOKED "TAN" BECAUSE WHILE DOING CRACK SHE GOT IN HER TANNING BED! SHE IS A HOT MESS TANNED BROWN BITCH NIGGA IN A JEW SUIT (HER WORDS NOT MINE, THAT IS THE KIND OF THING AMY WOULD SAY) ALMOST FALLING ON HER FACE CUZ HER HEELS WERE SO HIGH AND PEOPLE WANT TO SAY THAT WAS GOOD OF HER? IT WASN'T, SHE IS A CRACK HEAD AND WILL BE A TOTAL LOSER UNTIL SHE EITHER DECIDES TO TURN HER LIFE AROUND OR DIES. PREFERABLY DIES, BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T CARE, SO WHY SHOULD WE???
was actually there, and she was sooooo bloody shit,it was embarrassing. I dont get why they asked her to sing the final song: "Free Mandela".
she was off her face obviously, its just so disrespectful to everyone who came to support Mandela. She did not deserve this honor.
she looed a hot mess and sounded an even hotter one
pretty shitty performance, but considering shes been in hospital and is a druggo, its was pretty good
Someone said "Let's hope she stays sober enough to reestablish a career!" Why the fuck are you worried about her career?!!?????? Why don't you just worry about her??????? She was awful up there, and you would be too if you were a drug addict. She had no business being up there!!!!!!! Awful!!!!!! And you people are worried about her singing career????? Her so-called "fans" are a joke!!!!!!!! You should be concerned with her and not her career!!!!!! Amy was horrible, just admit it, she needs help, get help and get off the stage! If you are a true fan you say she sucked and get off the stage so she can get help! She was AWFUL
Poor Amy, I really wish she would get help. Hopefully years later she will look back on this and be glad that she got sober!
Damn shame, really. Looked high. Amy, get help!
yer shes actually pretty good
Everyone including Perez who knocked her performance proves your lack of ability to recognize good performances or talent. I actually liked her performance and even her dancing. Its the amy winehouse dance.
Its really sad when retards try to tell you which way to go and they can't even figure it out for their own selves.
From clickafrique.com, article "Amy Winehouse fouls up Nelson Mandela tribute": "Amy Winehouse’s dalliance with racism was highlighted in an expose by the British Newspaper – News of the World – in which she was recorded singing out using very offensive racial slangs. Equally amazing given the amount of HIV\AIDS that is directly related to drug abuse, it is dumbfounding that an ‘artiste’ who had been subject of endless allegations of drug taking was deemed to be a fitting symbol in the fight against AIDS." Couldn't have said it better myself! WTF was Amy doing there?!?!?!?! Embarrassing!!!!
Give her a fucking break. As a recovered crack head (among other things), I can tell you right now that she was sober during this performance, and what she's doing is not easy. And her performance wasn't bad.
at least she pulled it together, it wasn't that bad, you should hear free nelson mandela, its amazing. she really did pull it together
OH COME ON! THAT WASN'T THAT BAD. I ACTUALLY ENJOYED. I LIKE HER OFF-BEAT STYLE.
Don't diss Perez; he is doing Wino a favor by showing her for what she is. If her fans don't care enough to demand that she get better, and stop saying that performances like this are "okay" or "aight" and other ridiculous shit, then when she keels over dead don't blame Perez! SHE REALLY DID SUCK DONKEY DICKS DURING THIS PERFORMANCE. A donkey dick would fit easily into her big mouth, along with a crack pipe. Bitch, get off the fucking crack, stupid cunt.
Give her a break Fag chops i like to see you do better!
I thought she looked together-ish. I have seen her performances and yep, like it's said, they're all like that. Could be because she's always used substances to help her get over nerves when she performs and it got out of control.
Nobody escapes the addiction of substances that are incredibly addictive. She's not superwoman. She's human like the rest of us.
I thought it was shaky at the start but got better as she relaxed into it.
Jim Morrison performed with his back to the audience for ages. He then started to experiment with drugs and booze and we got to see his beautiful face.
Not much different really. Most artists are senstive and have low self esteem. That's why they end up in the hell messes they do.
Give it rest. Give her a break.
Someone said to give Amy a break and that what she is doing isn't easy. First, we don't even know what she is doing. Since she has been photographed smoking a cigarette the first opportunity she got away from the hospital to rehearse for this concert, and since yesterday she was photographed with bottles of liquor that she just bought and she blew off the photo call with all of the artists for Nelson Mandela, it is clear she isn't trying very hard. They got her a helicopter to get her to Glastonbury to keep her straight. They don't trust her not to get high. It is NOT obvious that this is Amy's decision. It seems more forced upon her by the hospital and her dad, but she told Rolling Stone that during her January rehab she bragged that she did drugs the entire time she was in rehab. There is no reason to give Amy a break here. Amy clearly wants to continue doing drugs and getting drunk and has not made the decision to get well. Until I see that she has made that decision, I am going to rag on her skanky crackhead ass. So far this week twice out of the hospital on her own she's been caught smoking cigarettes and buying liquor. If you think that behavior deserves some kind of reward then what are YOU smoking???
This is how she always performs. She was decent considering her issues. Sorry Perez, I disagree w/ you on her fucking up. She did alright.
ya..umm. i think this is the LEAST of her HOT MESSES. Cut the girl some slack. at least she's there!
What I would love to see is a WELL AND HEALTHY AMY ready to perform. I don't want to see someone who looks like they barely weigh 100 pounds and who is a drug addict up there trying to perform. I agree she has a great voice but she has ruined it with the pipe. Yes, she can fake her way through songs but I don't think it is in her best interest. I would prefer she take a year or two off, stop performing entirely, take a serious year in rehab, gain about 20 pounds, get in the gym, get her irregular heart beat under control, and GET HEALTHY BEFORE YOU PERFORM AGAIN, AMY.
WTF is that shit with her and pulling on her dress like a crackhead? She looks totally high. She is VERY SICK and wtf is she doing performing!
If you listen to her on YouTube singing "Free Nelson Mandela," at exactly 4:28 you can hear her sing "Free Blake-y my fella." LOSER BITCH. EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU, ISN'T IT?
Re: KittyKatKaty – hey wats ur name?? ur pic lookss soo familiar!!!
Re: KittyKatKaty – its ur name karen???
Okay enough of the bloody nonsense, I was there with two of my mates and I can tell you first hand she was bloody awful! Truth is everyone expected her to blow it off at the last minute never mind sing, so all she had to do was show up to look good. Her voice was horrible, she looked out of it, and she was even starting crap with the audience and what looked like spitting at them. It was a disgrace. "Hot Mess," that's putting it mildly!
It's still a better performance than fucken Britney could do. At least Amy is really singing.
Re: Take2 –
I'm afraid I disagree with your comment - this isn't what all her perfermances sound like. I managed to see her a year ago (during the day about 2pm before she got too out of it) and she was absolutely amazing about a thousand times better than this perfermance. She sounded even better live than on record. Unfortunately, i think the running nose she had (which isn't shown on this video) means she was on coke last night, which actually annoyed me because she couldn't keep it together for one night and she's supposed to be in hospital getting clean.
Re: true – TRUE, THANK YOU FOR TELLING IT HOW IT REALLY IS!!! SHE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HER FANS.
I'm proud of Amy for going and showing that she's still an amazing performer! yes, she was a bit of a mess, but just because she didn't sound just like her cd, doesn't mean she was hot mess…. that's just jazz.
I thought it was good. She sounded okay and looked better than usual!
Emma, it wouldn't surprise me if she was on coke.
Monday - Left hospital, photographed by paparazzi smoking a cigarette
Thursday - Left hospital a second time, photographed by paparazzi buying liquor
ONLY BEEN OUT OF HOSPITAL TWICE, UNSUPERVISED, AND BOTH TIMES FUCKED UP.
SHE ISN'T TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY AND DOESN'T WANT TO GET WELL.
The hospital is trying to keep her well but THEY CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH.
THE REST IS UP TO AMY. IF HER FANS PUT THE PRESSURE ON HER INSTEAD OF KISSING HER ASS…..but all they can say is she did the best she could, she did great, and other nonsense. If you are told you have emphysema and then turn around and smoke you are a bloody idiot.
I feel really really sorry for Amy. She really does need help, but she's not responding to all this rehab and hospitalization and she keeps hanging out with douchebags like Pete Doherty. I hate to say it, but that girl is trying to die. Who knows how long it'll take her to kill herself with all those drugs, but one day she'll end up OD'ing and it'll be the end of it for her.
Re: Emma –
Oh my god, had to reply to my own comment….she really does sing 'free Blakey my fella' instead of Nelson Mandela on the video of the finale…..I'm disgusted
Did anyone else notice she had a clip on hair that said Blake?
She's such a talented singer! She needs to get her act straight!
Plus, she needed to stop playing with her skirt, she practically flashed us all.
Re: Emma – Yep Emma, for anyone who wants to hear it, go to YouTube and listen to her sing "Free Nelson Mandela" and it's right at 4:28 that she says "FREE BLAKE-Y MY FELLA"
I didn't think it was all THAT bad….I've certainly seen worse, and I give her credit for not lip synching.
You know what? I can't even look. Amy, you've sucessfully made yourself too pitiful to even WATCH. Congrats. …you were my favorite.
she was not that bad.. come on perez!! give the gal a break!
she is messed up though.. I hope she cleans up. I love her voice!
Re: utube –
Utube…have you managed to see the Glastonbury footage from this evening? She's alot better than the Mandela gig but then she goes off stage into the pit (near the crowd) and some fan throws something at her (i think) and she attacks them! Honestly. It was shown on the BBC earlier. I have to say I'm a huge Amy fan, and have even seen her about town before she got back wtih that Blake and she was lovely. I really don't want to dislike her but I think I'm turning….. What with the Free Blakey my fella and then lashing out this evening at Glastonbury, I feel like I'd like to give her a slap! Feels like sacriledge to even say it but I think she's gone too far now. I'm actually getting bored of her antics. From a huge Amy fan, Emma
I liked it!
If you weigh 85 pounds and most of that is hair and you get onstage and try to sing, I don't care how you sound, IT'S PATHETIC. NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF, AMY.
What a fucking wreck…she is a professional shit hole…it just keeps on gettin more and more shittier! NON stop shit flow! Amy u suck even now at something no one could take from u…except U !!! Your voice and lungs are shot bitch…the ONE good thing you had going for you…!
Keep trying to sing like u dont have emphyesma!! ITS COMEDY!!!!!! Waste of skin fucksock
I watched the entire "performance" of hers tonight on British TV. She was unintelligible between songs, and during the songs all I heard was vowels. Then she was helped off stage by one of her black dancing gimps, cos she was too pissed or stoned to make the one foot jump by herself. Then she staggered about, half falling over the camera run lines at the front (like train tracks), before punching some bloke. Probably dissed BLAAAKE. Talentless drugged up cunt.
They want me to go to rehab and I said no,no,no. She looked a hot mess but she always looks a hot mess. It really wasn't that bad. She looked alittle wobbley in spots but not bad. Her record company and management probably told her get it together on stage or you'll loose everything. Now that it is over let's hope she gets the help she so desperately needs,but I don't it. Perez is so obcess with herI have no doubt that we will see more of her antics
Sorry, I meant to say the Glastonbury performance.
it wasn't her worst performance…..
There is more truth to this song now than ever but I do love Amy. I expected a lot worse.
Re: Emma – Emma, wow, I just saw the Glastonbury performance on YouTube. For anyone wanting to see Amy punching a fan during the performance, go to YouTube and type in search words Amy Punches Glastonbury. It will bring up a video that shows just the part where she punches the fan; who apparently says something to her. She appears to be slurring her words, and then they show the punch in slow motion. Very bad form, Amy. PUNCHING A FAN! That's what she thinks of her fans. And SLURRING THE WORDS to Rehab. Definitely out of it.
For all the shit shes been going through and as fucked up as she is, she sounds wonderful!!! Way better then some of the bubblegum shit out there. I think she needs to perform more it would keep her out of trouble.
yes, the performance was pretty awful- but i'd like to see you perform in her condition. stop drowning in the haterade and leave the poor gal alone- she's got enough on her plate without your bitching on her performance.
i'm keeping my fingers crossed that she'll be saved before it's too late so that she can get back to her work- i love her style of singing and it'd be a shame if such a unique talent as hers was to be snuffed out- or worse still, shat on by people who have no talent whatsoever than to talk down on people on their blog.
That was sooooooooooooooo sad!!! If I were her daddy I would hunt down Blake, and kill him and make it look like a suicide. She really needs to get her shit together or she will die. We don't want that now do we? If Britney can pull her shit together, then so can Amy. Amy is much more talented than Britney. But it is a good thing that she doesn't have any kids.
SHE PUNCHES A FAN AT GLASTONBURY TONIGHT! Watch it on YouTube! Can't believe my eyes. She is obviously stoned, slurring words, then she PUNCHES A FAN. It was shown LIVE ON BRITISH TV TONIGHT. Are you still going to say that singing keeps her out of trouble? She sounds much worse at Glastonbury than she did at Nelson Mandela's concert. Can't understand most of the words to Rehab because she sounds drugged up, then she tops off her performance by SUCKER PUNCHING A FAN who must have said something about her precious BLAAAAAAKE.
What are you talking about? That was a great performance. If anything, she was phoning it in a bit.
She couldn´t move. Poor girl…
Ummm, that's not so bad for a crackhead…..I don't see Whitney busting it out like that anymore lol
she made it n sung tht deserves a tony
You could not be more wrong, Perez. She has been a fucked up mess for a long time, but she actually made an attempt this time and it worked. Consdering what's been going on, she sounds great. She is a very rare talent, not manufactured boy band-girl band bullshit. I hope she gets it together and keeps it together.
Oh please for those of you that actually think she did good you are stupid and you seriously need your hearing checked. So what if the bitch was hospital maybe if she wasn't an alcholic drug user she would have been fine, she is shit and always has been she is a one hit wonder she is famous for a song call rehab which is where she should be. She should wake up to herself the bitch will die before she realises what she is doing to herself.
yeah that was a bit of a cr*p performance… but the girl is dealing with alot at the mo. I dunno, she's got all kinds of help available to her, but the real issue is, does she want to be saved?? i dont think so.
She looks like a stick….she needs to stop smoking AND eats some cheeseburgers
Did you ever have to take a dump real bad, where you just sit on the bowl and relax and the poop just flows out nice and easy all on its own without pushing? It comes out as one extremely long soft rope, like a soft ice cream machine or a Play Dough factory toy. Well that was what her performance was like. And even though it looked effortless, it still was what it was; A long hot smelly mess that you had to hold your nose while it was happening.
I don't see Perez getting up and doing anything ballsy. At least she was able to perform despite all of her troubles. Lay off the talented one.
Come on, give her a break. I have seen her alot worse, I think she did ok considering she just got out of the hospital.I think she has an amazing voice and I am in my 50's. I listen to her cd all the time.She has such talent and I pray she gets help because it would be sad to loose such a great voice.
considering whos in a better state… britney or amy?….

they're STUPID for even booking her for this gig! what brainchild asked her to attend? the girl's just wasting her talent–MORON!
What part of this was a hot mess? Did you listen to it?
Yea, her voice is a little cracky, but at least she can sing and improvise live, in rhythm and in tune, which is a huge improvement over most of the "live" singers out there today.
i thought she sounded really well, actually.
Re: hmess –
how the fuck can a tanning bed make someone look healthy please explain that….she does not look healthy she is sick and fucked up in the head and should not be allowed to peform
Re: ali – Then you need to listen to her today, 24 hours later, slurring her way through Glastonbury's version of Rehab and punching a fan in the process. And you support this?
And during "Free Nelson Mandela," changing the words to "Free Blake-y my fella" is just disgusting.
Re: kylie – kylie, YES, SHE LOOKS EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY, THAT WAS MY FUCKING POINT. The news media is saying she looks "tan and radiant." I beg to differ. She looks like she is a crackhead. All the tanning in the world can't change that.
shes incredible.
AMY IS FUCKING BRILLIANT. THAT WAS A FUCKING WICKED PERFORMANCE> YOU ARE SOO FUCKING STUPID PEREZ
What? I'm sorry but considering that she's been fucked up every day for the past year she did really well in this performance.
Really?? U think thats was hot mess.. sometimes ur just the fuckin hot mess.. and man Perez i dig u, but shit.. really
Poor Amy. She has lost me as a fan. She can't get control of her habits and doesn't want to. She hit a fan at a concert tonight. Hit someone, a fan of hers! She sounded drunk during the performance tonight (Glastonbury). Last night she looked so thin and I'm thinking, why is she even there? She is a drug addict. After learning she had emphysema, she chose to smoke this week and it was caught on camera. She chose to buy liquor, only out of hospital for a few hours for rehearsal. Snubs Mandela's photo shoot with all the stars so she can buy liquor and go see Blake. Tonight at Glastonbury she was obviously drunk or high. She doesn't want to get well and I'm not supporting her in her attempt to kill herself. If she ever gets back on track, maybe she'll have a fan then, but until then, this is one fan who is saying goodbye to Amy.
Well maybe if she'd stop singing bloody Rehab! she has song other great songs. it just gets boring for her and everyone else to just keep singing that same tired old song!
From HollywoodGrind.com: "Amy Winehouse was back to her bad behavior at the Glastonbury Festival on Saturday. Amy punched a fan, spit her gum into the crowd [can she blow out birthday candles too?], and she called Kanye West a "c_ck." It’s hard to know for sure if Amy was spitting out a piece of gum, or a chunk of her lung."
Perez you're a dumb fuck, that performance was awsome!
Her dance was a hot mess. her singing was not too shabby, considering the drugs and hospital situation. However word on the street is she did great towards the end. oh and weren't you two friends in the past?. I could have swore I saw her in one of your VH1 specials.
Go to YouTube and watch this clip of Amy slugging a fan: 3IN7yJWi21E
I would post the link but this doesn't seem to allow me to post links. But that is the number of the YouTube video; it also has the punch in slow motion. 3IN7yJWi21E
Re: holly – Number 585, so she called Kanye West a cock…whoopdeefuckingdo.
She should've called him a cocksucker. But that would have been about as much news to anyone as the fact that he is perhaps the most narcissistic immature asshole on the planet.
I think she held back.
Regarding Amy's singing "Free Nelson Mandela," maybe Amy should have changed the name of the song to "Free Blake-y My Fella" since that is what she sang. YouTube video 4:28 is where she sings it. FREE BLAKE-Y MY FELLA" how irreverent for Mr. Mandela. So for those Amy Whine-whore fans of hers who think she did such a great job, she trashed a 90-year-old man's birthday party and sang about her whacked out husband instead, who assaulted someone and who I hope gets the longest jail sentence in history, just to fuck Amy up even more. Let's push her over the edge and watch her croak.
Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, the list goes on for days of great artists who have battled their demons. I think she is brilliant and at least she is not a cookie cutter pop whore who can't write (or even read) any real music. Give the girl a fuckin' break!
Re: rachi –
Well said.
I really feel for her. She's a very talented individual and I hope she finds peace with herself.
So sad to see such a waste of talent. Beautiful voice, unique style that sets her apart from others & originality in both lyrics & rhythm. She really could have made something of herself.
Writing biased, sensationalist crap again, Perez? This is probably not the best performance of her life, but she did ok, especially considering the personal battle she's fighting. Give credit where it's due, and stop kicking a person when they're down.
Re: hmess – #508. FUCK U. ROT IN HELL, ASSHOLE.
She deserves to be kicked. Girl is a fucking crack whore who smacks her fans around (at least she did Saturday night at Glastonbury). She needs to get a fucking grip. She doesn't need fans fawning over her and giving her $$$ to support her habit. Legs like toothpicks, amazed they can even hold the beehive up. I am furious with Amy because the docs said, you have emphysema, and fuck her publicist, there ain't no such thing as "a little emphysema." Still she goes out this week and smokes cigarettes, buys alcohol, slugs a fan during a concert, spits her gum at her fans in concert, and god knows what else. Fans, stop supporting this behavior! To have you fawning over this thing that used to be a human being is a disgrace. Smack her around and maybe she will come to her senses. It seems to be the only thing she understands. She acts more like an animal than a human being. Amy, if you're going to give up, just die already. You have 70% lung capacity; want to go for 60% by the end of July? Way to waste your talent! That's what really pisses me off; she is a talented crack whore if she'd just put down the pipe, but oh, no, no she won't.
I think she'll have a heart attack long before the emphysema gets her. Doctors say irregular heartbeat … only a matter of time …
THIS is a DISGRACE to Nelson Mandela. Mandela supported human rights and equality… this woman preaches cocaine! I mean WHAT THE FUCK? That's like having a drunk teenager at a retirement home movie night.
To be honest for a crack head or whatever she's on… she wasn't that bad here.
I enjoyed it.
She still has way more talent then a lot of bitches singing today…coughmileycyruscough.
What the hell does EVERYONE see in her??? One good song and everyone thinks she is great. She is a CRACK SMOKING WHORE!! SHE SHOULD DIE!!!
The world would be a better place…Whoa, I feel better now that is off my chest…………….
sooo, nothing hot or messy about it. just another day at the crackhouse, i mean office, for her.
She is always like this. Awful. Hyped. Rhubarb!
