Amy Winehouse Proves Again That Rehab May Not Be Enough
As is clear from this photo taken during her post-rehab debut. (Maybe it's Crystal Lite.) Anyhow, Amy sounds great in this live clip.
Just kidding. Though we can't blame the sync issues on Amy. The footage is from her 5/30 concert in Lisbon. It didn't go too well. For instance, further zombie gyrations.
AP reports:
Amy Winehouse ... showed up almost an hour late, appeared distracted and had visible cuts on her arm and a bandage on her hand.Her performance in front of 90,000 people, at an outdoor performance at a music festival in Lisbon, Portugal, was brief, clocking in at 55 minutes.
At least she apologized.
"Hey Lisbon," Winehouse told the crowd, which booed when she failed to appear at her advertised time but gave her a warm welcome when she appeared. "I'm sorry I'm late."
The Grammy-winning jazz-pop diva also apologized for a sore throat and her voice cracked during the set.
Wearing a short dress, Winehouse paused to talk to members of her band, fiddled at length with her microphone, sucked on lozenges and at one point dashed offstage but quickly returned. Cuts were visible on her left arm, and her right hand was bandaged...
...The sellout crowd, gathered in a Lisbon park for the Rock in Rio festival, warmed to Winehouse as the 24-year-old sang hits including "Rehab," soul classics and reggae songs.
She mostly failed to thrill the crowd, however, and walked off stage without playing an encore. The crowd remained subdued.
Winehouse was the third act of the day on the festival's main stage, coming on before headliner Lenny Kravitz. Her management told the festival organizers she would not speak to the media...
Winehouse is booked to play at a series of music festivals in Europe this summer.
Should be good. Despite the train wreck, this YouTube poster remains enthusiastic: "My great great diva Amy Winehouse singing Cupid in Rock in Rio Lisboa 30/05/2008! FUCKIN AMAZIIIIIIIIING!"
FUCKIN AMAZIIIIIIIIING is right.

What is she on? This is really really sad. I love her voice and music. It's a shame. She can't even perform. I love that this is the kind of performer the major labels want to back up. No wonder they aren't making any money.

Oh my god. that stopped being funny and started to get really sad. she is screwed up in a bad way. She really needs to close down the live show thing and just do albums, she shouldnt be seen like that. that is crazy footage.

Sadly for me, that paid a couple of euros to see her (the other headliner was Lenny Kravitz ...), this was really a shitty affair, i've hoped that the news of her trainwreck in the last few weeks would stop when her gigs started, but no, she just cant wait to join the dead divas squad.

The concert was a disaster. I was there and couldn´t believe what I was seeing. Too bad, it´s a shame. She should say YES to rehab, she needs it badly!
