…and Amy Winehouse just came on. Between her, just ugh, style thing she’s got going and the pair of Negro backup singers enthusiastically stepping and clapping and playing tambourines, this is positively disturbing.
Like, really…I have no idea what to make of this. She doesn’t look like she knows the words to the songs. Not that it seems like she can’t remember them. I mean, she looks like there’s no way in hell she can memorize anything.
She can sing, however. Very well. And she’s definitely selling that whole “Rehab” thing.
(They just showed a shot of Mandela, and he seemed to be looking at her like “who is that peculiar thing on the stage? I thought you said the Spice Girls would be here.”)

Wino was there because Mandela wanted her to perform at his concert. I couldn’t believe it when I read it.
And what’s the significance of 46664?

What I don’t get is why people still hire her to sing anywhere. Much less at a concert for Mandela.
Sit her down, clean her up, then bring her back. But now? She’s embarrassing.

Bo, you’re drinking her Kool Aid… or Wine Aid rather…
Seriously, what do people see/hear in her? I gave her a real good listen as my GF got her CDs. Nada. Zilch. Got nuthin’ from it. And I like to think I have a discerning ear.
I think she’s overrated, and the Grammys lost a lot of credibility giving that skank an award.
She should leave the game, and get healthy…

Drew,
The number 46664 was Mandela’s prison ID number when he was imprisoned. It is now the name of his charity.
OT: As much as I like Winehouse’s music (I don’t think she’s phenomenal, just very good), I think it’s sick the way the media is camped out just waiting for this girl to keel over. Somebody needs to do something about her– STAT!

I like her music a lot, but rocks have kicked her ass and stomped on it for good measure, and I hope she gets clean very soon, cause she looks like she’s about to drop dead like, next week. I find her very enjoyable- she’s got a voice and she’s a good writer.
