are you f-ing nuts. she sounds like shit. she has no business being on stage and making tons on money. she is a waste of talent and needs to get her shit together. she slurred that entire song. gross, gross gross. no excuse for such nasty ass shit. eww!
she is amazing. she freestyles her style, its not always the same song or thats boring. duh!
i think she sounds amazing! as always. i just wish she looked like she wanted to be there.
at least she wasnt doing drugs on stage this time…
her performance was good… it looked and sounded just like her other live performances of rehab
first of all, Perez wouldn't know good music if it crawled up his ass and exploded in a giant fiery 4th of july aids explosion.
having gotten that out of the way, dear "Perez", have you ever seen a video of a little band called the ROLLING STONES? maybe you've heard of them. They've done every drug imaginable and produced some of the greatest tracks in history, to this day. oh, they're still kicking, it's called rock and roll.
Secondly, Amy JUST got diagnosed with emphyzma, and then proceeded to rock a huge fucking crowd. sure, it wasn'r prefect, she's not magical. OH, are your pink panties in a wad because it didn't sound exactly like the mp3 you no doubt downloaded without paying for? you can't possibly understand or appreciate art. you make a living off of nit-picking people that have worked their whole lives towards their art, they live for it. what do you live for, twinkies and feltching? Amy has an illness. oh, she's an addict? She's also a brilliant TALENTED artist. you are neither. you have zero right to have a valid opinion.
suck it.
You are so off-base. Amy's performance was great, especially as she sang "Free Nelson Mandela" during the tribute. You are so biased your judgement is skewed. Her personal life may very well be a hot mess, but this girl can still sing her ass off. Pray for her, but leave the critiquing to those who can be unbiased and fair.
To Hanna/379: Same to ya. Where is your empathy? Do you have kids? Want somebody to wish the same on them? God, I think we're all going to hell, if only for our thoughts, much less our deeds. Thoughts are powerful. You are quite sick.
i think she's amazing.
i don't understand why when someone is having a bad time you try to make it worse and you give constant disgust thrown at them.
be nice & start considering the good in people because believe me she has ALOT of good in her.
GO AMY!
She had worse performances….
Re: kate –
touche.
wow, nicely done. :]
listen to this one! haha
she needs help, mentally and physically. The dope must have made her forget she's a nasty racist too. Nice way to save face, perform for Nelson.. YIKES!
Amy fucking SUCKED. And she didn't sing FREE NELSON MANDELA, she sang FREE BLAKE-Y MY FELLA. She should be pistol whipped and then shot and thrown in a ditch. She also SLUGGED A FAN TONIGHT — AT A CONCERT!!!!!! AT GLASTONBURY, SHE PUNCHED A FAN!!!! !!!!! — , or does anyone care? Is she just so fucking WORTH IT to you that you don't give a shit that she's pissing away her life, ranting at fans by literally hitting them, spitting on them, does none of this behavior mean a goddamned thing to any of you???????
I don't understand why people are defending her. She needs help…. She doesn't need enablers. That's what you are if you are supporting this behavior … an enabler … just like alcoholics have enablers, every 12-step program you have to learn to get rid of enablers, people who accept this behavior in Amy, so they allow it to continue….. If every CD sale stopped tomorrow, if no more iTunes were downloaded ….. if people stopped going to her concerts and supporting her …. because they were sending a message that her behavior was not supported … then maybe she would say, I need to change …. I need to go into rehab … but with everyone saying, hey Amy, it's okay, just keep doing what you are doing ….. how do you expect her to change???
ironic song to sing in that state
That is so sad…she is such a mess.
kate, Amy JUST got diagnosed with emphysema, and they caught her smoking a ciggie in her first outing from hospital. Amy is still smoking! Did you notice she didn't hit any high notes during this rendition? Unlike the old days when Amy would mix it up and give us a wonderful vocal variety, she just stuck to a few tired notes. And apparently those nicotine patches she is smothered in aren't working. Wonder if she's back in hospital now or roaming the streets looking for crack.
wtf, why do they still let her perform, she's still f'ed up on drugs and she's not even singing properly, she's going to lose more fans then gain them at this pace, we want a quality performance not a barely audible one, her management sucks, AMY GET CLEAN OR GO AWAY, drugs suck!! OF ALL THE SONGS TO SING REHAB IS SO INNAPPROPRIATE FOR HER RIGHT NOW, she still thinks it's cool for her not to go to rehab, sad, call her unstoppable and incredible after she gets better not before, no wonder she's suck a mess with people telling her such crap.
Re: Laura – i totally agree, putting her up like that is telling others like her that if you can still function it's ok and as long as you can pass for being ok we'll turn a blind eye to your problems and let you continue on, very sad for the teenagers who look up to her to see a message like that, as i said before they need to send her away till she's completley recovered and clean and then accept her to perform not like this, not kiss her ass like this.
WHERE ARE HER PARENTS? WHY AREN'T THEY STOPPING HER? MY PARENTS WOULD NEVER ALLOW THIS EVEN IF I WERE OVER 18 THEY WOULD STOP THIS! DOES AMY HAVE NO ONE THAT CARES ENOUGH ABOUT HER TO INTERVENE? IF YOU WANT AMY TO LIVE THROUGH THIS IT WILL TAKE AN INTERVENTION. OR DO YOU JUST WANT TO WATCH HER DIE?
"Oo wow I'm shocked"
i totally agree with all those supporting her.
you are being totally unfair to only show this performance.
'valerie' and 'free nelson mandela' were so fucking awesome.
i love amy. get better babe.
Re: terez – freestyle it by all means but it's not called freestyling when you are slurring your words, it's called being wasted and having your brain fried by drugs and all while singing a song about not wanting to go to rehab, it's sick, i do feel sorry for her but it seems these days the people that organise these big events have started to do it for the entertainment and the scandal of it all, remember Britney's messed up performance?, hers is a different illness but still, seems they do it for the ratings, they'll sell anyone's soul for money, Amy should not be allowed to perform yet period! If you've seen her perform before the drugs this would not be acceptable to you, she was far better than this.
forme, very good point! I read on nme.com the following article called "Amy Winehouse Glastonbury Set Ends In Controversy: Star Hauled Away By Security At End of Pyramid Stage Show"
"Amy Winehouse was hauled away by security after an apparent altercation with a fan at the end of her set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury tonight (June 28).
The singer appeared to scuffle with someone in the front row after she jumped down into the photographers' pit at the to sing the final song of her set, 'Rehab'.
The disruption saw security guards stepping in and leading Winehouse away from the stage before she could play her last song."
I'm not an Amy fan and I've never been but I'm actually feeling sorry for her. She's so young and has to deal with her meltdown in front of the whole world. Give her a break.
That's just it…she doesn't have to deal with her meltdown in front of the whole world. She should take a year or two off and privately get well!
More from that article about Glastonbury at nme.com. It seems that the longer the set went, the more wild Amy's comments were. (Before she attacked the fan.)
"Toward the end of the set, the singer's comments between songs became increasingly bizarre and agitated. Firstly she asked: "Are there any black people in the crowd? Where's Don Letts?" before 'Love Is A Losing Game', then launched into a tirade about Jay-Z and Kanye West.
She said: "Let's hear it for Jay-Z. The man has got bollocks to come here, and play the tunes you don't even know you remember. Imagine if it was a cunt like Kanye West. 'Cunts like Kanye' - that should be his next album title."
Winehouse then made a strange reference to her skeletal frame before a cover of the Dandy Livingstone reggae tune made famous by , 'A Message To You Rudy', asking the crowd: "If one of my ribs pop out, could someone catch it? I'll reward you highly."
She was not a mess! She was great!
A great singer and gifted artist : )
The performance wasn't bad at all!!
OMg folks, shes totally ruined wreck! Really seems that she doesn't enjoy being there..
Crack is whack. Amy, get well and leave the music industry until you are well. People, stop heaping accolades upon this messed up wreck until she gets her act together. Amy, you have talent, and a lot of it. Please don't waste it. Please get help.

Watch her glastonbury performance! a total embarassment to herself
runnng into the crowds..running all over the place pissed out of her head!
that mess was one of her better performances….she looked not so fucked up!!
hot mess? i don't think so. imao she sang pretty good. especially if you remember that she was at hospital all week. so there are 2 good news, perez
Amy punched the fan because he sexually assaulted her as she went passed him (He grabbed her breasts).She rightly elbowed him off & punched him in the face.
Addiction is a terrible thing but to be frank.. i am sick hearing about her now, yes i feel sorry for Amy but she has been offered help time and time again and just not willing to take it, she looked well on stage but vocals just a mess… x
Considering her past performances this one was pretty damn good! She's got a brilliant voice, and it must be so hard having the whole world know about your personal problems. But she brilliant at what she does.
{{{{ Amy iz the Queen }}}}}
{{{{{{{{{{{ she can do wtf she wantz 2 }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ shez freakin great//luv her azz }}}}}}}}}}}}
{{{{ Amy iz 100% better than Madonna..even kracked out}}}}
YES YES YES!!! This is where she belongs. She needs to be on stage. I'm so proud of her for making her performance and doing an outstanding job after all this drama.
I'm shocked Nelson didn't personally kick this chica out of the lineup too with the state she's in. Maybe he's hoping she'll get better like us!!! It's sad because she's one of the few people who actually have talent. Wish she wasn't so effed up. I'm surprised she still remembers the lyrics. Skill. LOL!!!
She's a one hit wonder crack whore.
Re: fod –
The thing is Amy is making alot of money for the people around her. They don't seem to have her best interest at heart. All they see is $$$$ signs. Needless to say she's in no condition to make the right choices. I'm not condoning her behavior at all, Glastonbury included, but it seems like she would've gotten help along time ago if she wasn't around people that were enabling her and selling her out for a few bucks.
I heard much better sounds coming out of my ass after pigging out on an all you can eat buffet of shrimp with cocktail sauce!
GREAT JOB AMY!!!!!! I thought she was looking very well, and I loved the slightly up-tempo vesion of the song. And her style says"I'm definitely NOT lip synching" YOU GO AMY!!!!!!!!!!!
She was great, what are you on about Perez?! I thought she sang better there than she does on the album track…and good on the girl for being brave enough to get up there and do it despite all the flack she's taking. Britney didn't have half Amy's troubles and she was WAY more shit at the MTV thing…
she sang this song a million times now,youd b bored too, she just is giving it a twist,people who really know about music nd singing know this, so next time DONT write this talent down,you commercial crapper,what r your talents??.She more real than the other messes paris,lindsey and britney.her concert was great,im a critical guy myself,so thats just what it is…
I just saw this show on tv, she was singing Valerie, and it was great! She looked great and sounded great.
I was there and her performance (considering she had just got out of hospital) was incredible, and the reception from the crowd was fantastic. Everyone around me loved her set.
this wasn't a hot mess compared to her performance at glastonbury performance last night.
I also disagree - she sounds a lot better than a lot of artists who live a healthier lifestyle.
just od and die already!
eww. i can not stand her!
I actually think, as others have said, considering how poor her health has been she did a good job.
hot mess but amy is a great singer
her pupils didnt look that big, but she sure wasnt sober
Her performance wasn't as bad as you made it seem.
hot mess
to be honest i thought she was pretty good for being in the hospital for a week. At parts i thought she was just improvising. I thought she forgot the words i didnt understand what she was singing but overall i thought it was not a mess she pulled it together and had a good performance
my vagina hole, nice . #657
Re: Eryme – i agree song choice wasnt good
wow,
what did you guys expect?
a huge come back, she needs to go to rehab first.
like thats gonna happen
What the fuck are you talking about? She did great!
My sister and I was there and I disagree she was awesome live, especially when she sang Free Nelson Mandela at the end, Leona Lewis was superb as was Will Smith
perez what is wrong are you having a slow day….fridays performance was nothing on Saturday Night at Glastonbury she hit someone in the crowd during the performance and not just once but three jabs…the girl was pissed at whatever had been said to her….
Bullsh*t.
There's nothing wrong with her - this so-called 'illness' is just a tidy little publicity stunt to keep the rumour mills grinding away. The same goes for all the slurring and bad behaviour.
As for Mandela, I'm shocked that he would approve a filthy attention-seeking drug addict like this to promote his charity. Add to this the fact that he barely mentioned the atrocities in Zimbabwe, knowing full well he is the only man that the African leaders will respond to, and well…
I've lost all respect for him.
It's high time that Britain and the US joined forces to put a few bullets in Mugabe's head.
Sounds good to me!
You should have seen her at Glastonbury!
She was singing notes all over the place and then she decided to go off the front of the stage, up to the fans and then she punched one of the crowd members - she looked like she could barely stand up, let alone sing to the thousands.
Things got alot worse at Glastonbury festival on Saturday.
She attacked a fan!
honestly, considering her condition, i thought it was going to be horrible
this wasn't bad at all
stfu perez
she needs support, not shit like this
Perez! I think her performance was good! I saw her other performance where she smacked one of her fans for touching her hair, now that one was crazy. I don't know maybe its cause I'm an Amy fan despite all her crazyness.
Amy is fuccen trashy….they neeed to let this chick some as much crack as she wants…some people don't want to be helped. I just read on Bossip that this chick called kanye a c**T.
Racist mutherfuccer make me laugh….THEY ARE PATHETIC.
I think that her performance was the best that I have ever seen!
i think she was actually pretty great for being in such a big struggle and in the midst of truly terrible emphysema.
It really wasn't that bad.
AMY IS A HOT MESS. SHE SHOULD BE GETTING WELL, NOT SINGING. SHE CAN'T SING WORTH A DAMN ANYWAY.
Did you notice she can't sing but like 5 notes, no range anymore?
She was standing there shivering and wavering and barely standing up on those toothpicks she calls legs with her toothpick scabby cracked out arms which she tried to hide with a tan and didn't work, tugging at her skirt in a crackhead way. She should not have been performing! What a mess. Amy go home.
Sooo sick of that fucking song Rehab. And Amy, please go, go, go to rehab. You need it worse than Britney.
I freaking love amy winehouse, she just don't give a fuck! haha gotta love that. bless her heart. calling Kanye a c..t roflmfao she cracks me up.
This bird has flown. Bye, Amy. See you underneath a headstone.
Why would anyone choose Amy Wine-Ho to sing? From the papers:
"All his life Nelson Mandela has stood as an icon against racism and 46664 is a leading light in fighting HIV\AIDS which makes it ironic that the organizers choose Amy Winehouse, the controversial British female singer, to headline yesterday’s concert.
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. "
There you go again being all dram, Perez. She kicks your ass.
Soon she'll be breathing through an oxygen mask and she won't be able to sing. If she loves singing so much why is she destroying herself? She sounded like shit. If you want to hit those high notes again babe you need to lay off the crack pipe.
It can only be a matter of a short time before she soils her pants on stage.
85 pounds of "great" a toothpick in the sky she needs to get her shit together or die. Amy, where are the people who care about you? They need to put you in a straight jacket and take you away. You need serious help and since you can't see it, it needs to be forced upon you.
The only reason she wasn't a total-one-hit-wonder-flash-in-the-pan is because everyone keeps talking about what a waste of space she is.
You should've seen her when she came to Portugal.
Not only was she 45 minutes late and only gave a 40 minute concert
she had managed to get her voice in the worst condition
fell on the stage
kept going backstage (i think we all know why)
and was drinking alcohol
not to mention that she was defntly under the effect of drugs.
she was great for what she has been through…i still think shes brilliant
I think she did pretty good compare to what she has done before.
I feel so sorry for her becuase alot of people, including
her OWN FATHER is saying shit about her
LAY OFF WINO!!
she is the most amazing songwriter
of our generation
This concert was just the writing on the wall. It was the prelude to the Glastonbury concert. Anyone who is really looking here can see she is fucked up. Then she really proves her state of mind the following night.
Re: Ana –
YOUR A BITCH
JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT SING LIKE HER?!
YOU STUPID WHORE
I don't feel sorry for her. She has millions. She can afford to get help. I feel sorry for all of the people who can't afford to get help. Amy has all the resources she needs around her and she is refusing help. And her so-called "fans" bow down at her feet and worship her - why? Wait until she gets WELL and then worship all you want. Don't reward this bad behaviour.
They tried to make me go to jail for assault
I said no, no, no.
Yes I been whacked on crack, but when I come back
You won't know, know, know. (cuz I got no talent)
I ain’t got the time (to straighten myself out)
And my daddy don't think i'm fine (but he don't care)
He won't try to make me go to rehab (cuz he likes the money)
So sad my death will be slow, slow, slow.
I’d rather be at home with my crack pipe
I ain’t got 70 days left in me alive
Cos there’s nothing, nothing you can teach me
I'm a know-it-all cunt yes, yes, yes
Didn’t get a lot in class
But yes everything comes in a shot glass
I'll drink and smoke my way to a brighter day
and I'll keep sayin' no, no, no
Rehab is a really tired song,
yes, yes, yes
But I'll keep singing it because I'm uncreative
yes, yes, yes
My fans will try to help me, but I'll just say
no, no, no
And that's what you can write on my headstone,
SHE SAID, NO, NO, NO!
Re: troub – Yo, Ana was just SPEAKIN' THE TRUTH; LAY OFF HER!!!!
Amy, get some fucking self respect, girl! You have a great natural talent. It is pitiful and sad to watch you waste it. You have emphysema at your age? And you're still smoking??? What is wrong, hon? You are NOT immortal. You need help. Everyone is going to give up trying to help you or even be your fan. If I were in the crowd and I got hit by one of your skanky bacteria-infested spitballs, I would punch your fucking lights out. And sue your management for probably contracting TB, AIDS, and who-knows-what-else. I can't feel sorry for you anymore; you have me totally pissed off! Fuck off, Ms. Amy Whorehouse.
I Love how everytime I see videos of her fuckin up performances there are always the two guys next to her doing the : 'who who' and dancing all happy.. I wonder what they think in their head while it's happening, its pretty hilarious.
P.
sweetie, your ignorance is showing. guess what? PEOPLE DON'T SOUND THE SAME LIVE AS THEY DO ON CDS AND WHEN THEY DO, THEY ARE LIP SYNCHING.
I disagree as well. The performance wasn't that bad. She sounded ok. Typical Wino sound. Same little movements and gestures. It was cool.
I give major props to her mad backup singers who really stole the show! They were spot on brilliant and they had to be to make Amy look good. They didn't succeed in making her look good, but at least they looked good.
Sorry, I don't attach myself to a fuckup. I used to be a Winehouse fan. Not anymore. Her voice is mediocre due to her substance abuse and lack of focus = shitty performances. She's had opportunity galore. She's a grown-up who can make her own decisions and she's chosen to fuck her fans over. She only showed up at the Mandela benefit for the million$, hence, supporting her drug addictions. I absolutely KNOW I could pick ten girls off the street in downtown Harlem, who could show her up ANYTIME with their voices. What could have been a promising career has turned out to be a fugly woman who worships - crack. May she and crack live somehow ever after. PS ~ Seek help with your prejudice Amy. You mock Paki's and the African race, whilst your pale, drug riddled, abusive husband is the worst example to mankind - and in the slammer. Ha! Proving, once again - and again, and again, and again, how utterly ignorant and filthy you are. At this point, when I see your photographs before reading the headlines in the tabloids, I seriously think to myself, "She's gone and kicked the bucket. Dead. No more." But then that would be too good because your idiotic fans would make a fuckin' martyr out of you. Signed, "A Fan No More."
