Sep 20 2007Amy Winehouse is sophisticated
When Amy Winehouse takes the stage, you know you’re in for a top-notch show. Not only is her voice a treasure, but she presents herself with such poise and elegance. The Sun has the details of Amy’s exquisite performance at the MOBO’s:
She staggered up the stage steps looking the worse for wear as she went to collect her gong at the O2 arena. Then she took the microphone and appeared to spit before saying a brief thank-you. She followed that with a shoddy rendition of “Tears Dry On Their Own” – forgetting half the words. During the performance Amy twitched, pulled at her black-and-white dress and gripped the mic stand as she swayed precariously.
Amy even presents herself as a lady before taking the stage:
A source said: “In her dressing room she was really on edge, then flipped. She was screaming and chucking anything she could get her hands on at the people around her. She wasn’t in a good way.”
I’m faced with a conundrum here. Who would be more justified making the following statement: Amy Winehouse saying, “Hey, at least I’m not Britney Spears.” Or Britney Spears saying “Hey, at least I’m not Amy Winehouse.” I’m making a huge assumption that one is aware of the other. I’m also assuming that Britney doesn’t have a Quarter Pounder in her mouth, and Amy hasn’t inhaled a bathtub full of gin and sleeping pills. Yeah, I know, bold assumptions. But I’m a bold man who asks bold questions – boldly.
UPDATE: Check out a video of her performance after the jump. It's not as disastrous as the article makes it out to be, but there's definitely a lot of mumbling and shuffling going on.

At least she's not fat, like that fucking rutting pig Britney.

Check out Blake's arms in the first pic...looks like he's a cutter too. Nice, maybe they can start cutting each other.

Oh, come on, this one is so obvious.
"Hey, at least I'm not Kate Hudson."
5. Elliot - September 20, 2007 11:04 AM
What's a Quarter Ponder?
6. D4P - September 20, 2007 11:07 AM
Is it too much to ask for Britney to change her last name to "Crackhouse"...?
7. Amy Winehouse - September 20, 2007 11:07 AM
“Hey, at least I’m not fat like Britney Spears.”
8. Jai - September 20, 2007 11:08 AM
I'm going to go with "At least I'm not Britney". Amy doesn't have children to drag through her mess...yet. And she has the upper hand regarding vocal talent.
9. veggi - September 20, 2007 11:11 AM
@5- It's brit's capacity of thinking.
10. mikeybikey82 - September 20, 2007 11:11 AM

14. Texas Tranny - September 20, 2007 11:18 AM

"I'm going to go with "At least I'm not Britney". Amy doesn't have children to drag through her mess...yet. And she has the upper hand regarding vocal talent."
exactly. amy winehouse is already at rock bottom and it's just sad b/c she's talented. britney is NOT talented and i won't care when she hits rock bottom and stays there.

Hey FRIST I have Lindsay Lohan
21. saradevil - September 20, 2007 11:23 AM
What I love about this couple is they have such a Sid and Nancy feel. You know, classic romance.
22. appa - September 20, 2007 11:29 AM
Her boyfriend sure has a lot of owen wilsons on his arm.
23. A.V. - September 20, 2007 11:32 AM
I think the difference is that Britney is living in this world of delusion where she's still Britney Spears circa five years ago, which she is not...oh god...she is not. Amy Winehouse has always played on her "bad girl" image, so Amy Winehouse being totally fucked up is just living up to expectations. Britney being totally fucked up is sad and embarrassing.
24. Teacher - September 20, 2007 11:33 AM
Yeah, umm...see, it wasn't an actual test question.
25. Rzwrong - September 20, 2007 11:39 AM
1st !
26. Giomon_Rocks - September 20, 2007 11:45 AM
Whoa, her husband looks like he likes razor blades way too much.

Christ, I can smell her from here.
You know that junkie smell?
OD already......and take Britney and OJ with you.

Have another rummy.
29. lambman - September 20, 2007 11:58 AM
whatever, Amy's CD is awesome and that's all that counts. I don't need to go see her live, don't care how much drugs she takes or if she shoots up with prostitutes or not.
I just hope she lives to record another CD
30. jeffb - September 20, 2007 12:00 PM
Did anyone see Amy Winehouse's performance from last night? She's totally out of it! Check it out:

31. jrzmommy - September 20, 2007 12:00 PM
Look, I got news for ya...I'd flip out and be a junkie, too, if i looked like her.
32. sad but true - September 20, 2007 12:02 PM
The best musicians are total messes. If they clean up, their lives become inspirational and Oprah praises them and...their music SUCKS. The sober ones can keep cranking out all that shitty pop music, leave the drunks and addicts and suicidal manic-depressives alone - they make the music that's worth listening to.

lindsay lohan > amy winehouse > britney
35. sportsdvl - September 20, 2007 1:25 PM
Looks like she's wearing a diaper!
#29 - nothing this pile of crack whore garbage could make should be considered "awesome"!
36. Da Schwartz - September 20, 2007 1:26 PM
Like Jim Morrison and Janice Joplin all rolled into a big stinky matzaball. Oy vey, this yenta is seriously a schmizzlebobbed schtuzelfinker.
37. Da Schwartz - September 20, 2007 1:36 PM
Funny, she doesn't look Jewish!
38. Starbucks Whore - September 20, 2007 1:45 PM
She's a vile little reptile.
39. adeliza - September 20, 2007 1:51 PM
#35---
Have you listened to it? Quite frankly, it is awesome. I have the CD, and while I'll slam the hell out of anyone posted on this site, she is really the only performer posted on here who has a talented singing voice.
That aside-
Skanky-yes
Skeletor-yes
Freakish-yes
Bad fashion sense-yes
Hellish hair-yes
Unsanitary looking-yes
Needs a dentist-yes
But dat gal can sing!
40. Hoya - September 20, 2007 1:57 PM
Well Britney is doable and has all her teeth. You really have to get to the basics on this one.
41. sharpeidude - September 20, 2007 2:21 PM
Okay...so tell me once more why I should care about this crack whore?
42. Annie Rexia - September 20, 2007 2:27 PM
Watch out for her upcoming role in "Saw IV: How Amy knawed my Dick Off With Her Snaggle Teef."
43. my comment - September 20, 2007 2:52 PM
It wasn't so bad.
Who shot this thing?
I think the cameraman was on drugs.
44. Joe - September 20, 2007 3:34 PM
Will someone put this ugly crackwhore out of her misery? What kind of message is she sending to the hordes of adolescent girls that listen to her crappy music? Drugs are good? Rehab is bad?
Someone please do society (and the gene pool) a favor and put a couple of .50 caliber slugs in this woman's head.
45. Pikachelsea - September 20, 2007 3:34 PM
What a shame. She has an amazing voice, especially compared to no-talent retards like Britney Spears. Too bad she has to dress it up in all those nasty cheap-looking tattoos, drugs and diva mentality. She would be so beautiful otherwise.
46. Tits McGee - September 20, 2007 4:18 PM
jesus christ. that performance was so awful. it's like, she just simply didn't care at all about performing. Forgetting her own words. Forgetting she was on stage, maybe...not even trying. what the HELL is she on? whatever it was, she does have about 10 points more IQ than Britney and a billion in talent. She couldn't even SING anymore... talk about a waste.
Britney just looked like an asshole. This one looks kinda like someone should rush her to the hospital. Like she's about to collapse. She can't even SING right anymore.
I'm totally not paying to go see one of her shows, the recordings are just fine. besides, she'll be dead within the year.
47. Fashion Sheriff Cowgirl - September 20, 2007 5:53 PM
What is with her and her hideous tube tops? Tube tops are for women with titties honey! Get a halter top!
48. T - September 20, 2007 7:23 PM
She's disgusting and he reminds me of Pete Doherty (who by the way is also disgusting)
49. roughdaddy - September 20, 2007 9:26 PM
tmz had a pic of this chick looking out of the window people had doubt about if it was her, looking @ those pics confirm its her,,,man, she looked like herman munster in a wig without the green complexion...
50. Ath Lipth - September 21, 2007 1:23 AM
IF ALL KIKES LOOKED/ACTED LIKE AMY AND COURTNEY, WE WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM! UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF THEM ARE SMART, CRAFTY, AND CONTROL MOST OF THE WORLD THROUGH THE BANKS, MEDIA, AND LEGAL SYSTEMS.
51. David Beckham - September 21, 2007 1:25 AM
I'd hit it!
Her boyfriend, that is! And I bet sweet little Amy looks like a boy when she bends over. I've a bloody stiff one just thinking about this hot BRITISH couple.
52. Da Schwartz - September 21, 2007 1:48 AM
Hell yea! Now that I've watched the video I'm in love with Amy! She's soooooo HOT!!!
53. Felt Pen Salesman - September 21, 2007 5:04 AM
She's done exactly the right thing with her eyeliner by using an industrial grade felt pen - good job Amy!
54. Amy's album is awesome, bitches! - September 21, 2007 5:18 AM
How can anyone even compare Amy to Britney. Amy actually sings live and sounds pretty fucking good, even if she is high or drunk out of her mind. Britney can't even sing live in front of an audience-how is that talented? Plus, apparently Britney can't even dance anymore; she is just a media fabrication with no talent, her albums are obviously completely digitaly remastered and any professional pic of her is brutally photoshopped. Amy is original, and very talented, and REAL, I just hope she cleans herself up.
55. Kaelindra - September 21, 2007 7:01 AM
Fugly as hell ! She'll be dead within the year.
56. skwirrel - September 21, 2007 9:45 AM

Am I the only one who noticed that Shaggy is suddenly speaking with a British accent?
61. lopelus - September 21, 2007 10:07 PM
My god I wish she'd quit wearing those tube top bikinis. They make her look like one of those freak show goldfish with all the wrinkly sacks spewing off of it.
62. Pat - September 22, 2007 7:42 AM
To nr. 50: - when I think of which stars (both male and female) why have substance abuse problems, I think Jewish people in general are nog that likely to be addicts. Amy really is an exception. And which jewish Courtney is het refering to? Courtney Love? I don't think she is Jewishat all, I think she has a mainstream protestant background. I'm not Jewish myself, andI don't belong to any religious organization, but most the Jewish people I know are decent, honest and hardworking people. Even the students are not really heavy drinkers, at least compared to the (mostly protestant and catholic) fraternity and sorority types.
63. yukadoozer - September 23, 2007 6:17 AM
This billy goat's missing teeth on the left.
64. Mary Jane - October 2, 2007 2:45 PM
You guys don't know shit about music. Her voice is amazing, who cares what she looks like? Hopefully she can get her life together before it falls apart.
65. jerkin - November 2, 2007 7:57 PM

66. lori - November 3, 2007 10:14 AM
