Sakaw Tattoo Amy Winehouse


So video emerged yesterday of fan-filmed footage from one of Amy Winehouse's recent comeback shows that took place in Belgrade. In the various videos, to the surprise of absolutely no one, Winehouse appears to be completely fucking blitz. Whether she was high on some form of drug or just had a skinful of booze, she was clearly in no fit shape to performing on stage in front of paying customers. At one point during the track "Valerie," she drags over a backing singer to do lead vocals because she physically can't get he words out. She looks like she's suffering a mild stroke at times and I can honestly say that no footage of a live gig has ever made me feel so uncomfortable. Let's not forget that just a few years ago this woman was on top of the world, her albums were selling like hot cakes, her singles were topping charts globally and she was kick-starting a new craze in pop music that would bring us the likes of Adele and Duffy. Now she's a punchline, and an embarrassing one at that. Rumours of a comeback album keep rearing their ugly head but until she proves she can get some work done without having time in rehab in between recording sessions, I cannot for the live of me see why any record producer or tour promoter would want to work with her.

Just by looking at some of the venues she's been playing on this supposed "comeback tour," it's pretty clear that her stock has fallen drastically over the last few years in the wake of her bizarre antics and downright disturbing drug and alcohol binges. It's something of a modern miracle that the women is even still alive when you watch some of the clips from this weekend's shows and in many ways what has happened to her is a real shame because there's was no denying she was a talent. But in 2011? Fuck, even TMZ and Perez Hilton are bored with talking about this bitch, and so am I, so let's move on before I throw up.
