Nov 27 2007Amy Winehouse cancels tour

1127_amy_winehouse_tour_00.jpg

Amy Winehouse has cancelled the remainder of her tour dates. It was an expected announcement considering her poor performances which led to audience members walking out. She made the decision yesterday afternoon after a tearful meeting with her management, according to The Sun:

In a statement Amy, 24, said: “I can’t give it my all onstage without my Blake. I’m so sorry but I don’t want to do the shows half-heartedly; I love singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it’s just not the same.”

Dammit, and I had tickets. I was hoping to see Amy Winehouse forget the words to her own songs then snort coke out of her beehive. It was going to be a classy evening of a culture and music. I even bought one of those beer-can hats. Except I modified it to hold two bottles of Jack Daniels. I tested it out the other night. Legally, I’m not allowed to say how it went. Though my lawyer says the black box proved the chimp was flying the plane. So that’s who I got to play “Lost” with me. He must’ve been Matthew Fox and I was the mysterious smoke creature that pukes on flight attendants. I’ll admit; the monkey was right. That was the best drinking game I’ve ever played.

wow, she really needs to http://do1t.net

I'm wearing MY beer can hat too!! For some reason, I get to go home early!!..

see ya fuckers..

oh, stfu, amy.

she is scary

Our celebrity impersonater "Amy" can sing, host your party and STAY SOBER!

SHE CANCELLED HER TOUR?!?!? WHY??? DID SHE FINALLY DIE?!?!? We could only be so lucky. Skank whore bitch.

This will be the first time she actually gave everyone their moneys worth by not singing...........

I'm a worthless douche with a gay website and nothing interesting to say. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

I don't get all these stars that have the world in the palm of their hands, but throw it all to shit. But I have a feeling this Winehouse creature is gonna go down Janice Joplin style when all is said and done.

Is their a Typo.. She was supposed to be going on TOUR I thought she was a WHORE. and was giving that up.. OH MAD BAD... Sorry but working on that snatch would be like throwing a whole box of hot dogs down a hall way. Someone needs to take one for the team and neal down on her and yell, "Osama you in there?" He likes dark caves !!!

Aw...poor thing. Maybe some heroin would help. Come on Amy. Just a taste. What could it hurt? Just a little, then stop. Come on, you know you want to. Your husband wants you to do it. Without the tour, now you have time. Just a little taste. Come on......


.

What exactly does she miss about her husband? Scratching him or yelling at him?

Blake Civil-Fielder is in a better place Amy, let him go.

Thank god. We here in north america like our rock stars pre-packaged and sterile. No drugs, booze or anything else remotely interesting allowed. And god forbid you actually look like a rock star, strung out, skinny and sleep deprived. No no that won't do. And writting your own music and sounding disticnt is a definte faux pas. Being emotionally fragile and fucked up over a loser spouse ? God, I don't know anyone who has ever acted like that. This is all too much, when does American Idol start again anyway? Nevermind I'm off to do the Souja Boy...

She sucks anyway.

Who cares?

I wish I had a beehive full of coke

Seriously what moron pays money to watch this drugged out whore attempt to sing?

How she earns a living is beyond me.

Can't this Winehouse cunt just fuck-off and overdose already? Why does Earth have to put up with these dunce-caps? How fucking hard is it to live your fucking life and do what you're gonna do? I guess that's the whole point. Winehouse and her husband are morons that can't keep it straight. And do what they do; dramative life and bore the public. Still, though. I want Winehouse to drop dead. Who the fuck is buying her music anyways? I've never heard any of the farts that Wines has dropped on the public. Someones buying the shit. In more ways than one.

Hey Haroof. She sells blades and coke from her hive of justice. If you cross her, she'll cut ya!

She's really hot and may be looking for a new millionaire husband. You'll learn this and more at my website: fuckallthespammersuptheass.com.

;)

It looks like a box of crayons threw up all over her dress.

she smells like moth balls and stale cigs

22: How did you get their little legs apart?

Ray Bolger made a MUUUUCH better Scarecrow.

23 Not "moth's balls" silly - moth balls

BaconMessiah, I couldn't have said it better myself. She's pretty much the only Soul/R&B singer whose music is worth a damn, but all of us idiotic Americans want to harp on her self-destructive lifestyle and the sensational media attention it gets her. Oh, and how she's not attractive enough. Sure, your shitty music can be totally canned for the masses, but if you're hot, it doesn't matter. We'll buy your insidious tripe anyway!

I agree, when drug/alcohol abuse interferes with your professionalism, it's shitty for the fans. I had tickets to see her at the Fillmore, and she cancelled that tour too. It blows, but you know what? She makes great fucking records that aren't complete fucking monuments to post-production. "But..but..she's such a wreck!! Waaah!" SHUT UP AND FUCKING LISTEN TO HER! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF SHE'S GOT TRACK MARKS UP AND DOWN HER ARMS AND A WHITE BUBBLE COMING OUT OF HER NOSE!

Why don't you just crucify her already? God forbid we have an artist on mainstream radio whose songs are sincere and real.

You know? You're right....

LET'S CRUCIFY HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


CRUCIFY! CRUCIFY! CRUCIFY!

.

she's too ugly to give a shi....

well, maybe it's time to let the obvious remain unstated

this is one ugly bitch..... never again put her on this site....

She looks like a stick figure with boobs. Gross.

who cares about this brat?

read between the lines people:

I can't tour with my Blake (aka my drug dealer).
I can't give it my all without him near me. ( I suck when I sing sober. I need drugs to perform).
Without my husband I am not the same ( Have you seen me sober? No other guy will even look at me like Blakey does when he is strung out. I need DRUGS. DRUGS!!!)

in pic 2 she looks just like a pre-op hispanic tranny trying to keep it all tucked in back...

Poor little misguided drugged-out girl. Let's get Jerry Lewis on the line and start up a fucking Tele-Thon today!

Amy is a woman with incredible natural talent who got fucked up by being unable to handle drugs and booze and has lost sight of what matters. Rehab to get clean and sober will fail to resurrect her... she is stuck in the mindset that drugs and booze are cool and the delusion that she can function while high. Such a sad story, I predict Amy will become a statistic like most genius musicians. Rest in peace Amy..your tats and teeth tells us you have lost your mind to substances.

Are we still shocked at this point

gross....
again...why is she famous???
oh yeah....the fag...Perez Hilton

Why should we admire her musical abilities when she doesn't even have the very basic human abilities to care about her own survival and take care of those people she loves and is responsible for? Admiration for some gift that she was born with? Because the fact that she can sing is all that matters - how pathetic.

She will die soon, very soon. Muahahahahhaha!

I can't believe some of you people.

Again, musicians or even artists for that matter aren't out there to stand as model citizens that we can all admire and aspire to be like. That's what parents, teachers and community leaders are for.

In Amy Winehouse's case, she's there to make great records that are supposed to enrich our lives. If you want to buy crappy music made by walking exemplars of mediocrity who behave themselves and let the record executives determine what they do or don't say, that's your prerogative. But in the meantime, don't diss on the ones who live lives you don't approve of but make uncompromised, sincere, kick ass records on their own terms.

No, she's not a good role model for your children. No, she doesn't have devastating looks of a fashion model. No, she's not the kind of person I'd want to hang out with. But you know what? I'm not thinking about any of this shit when I go to the record store!

Fucking get over yourselves. Taking some moral high ground with a fucking Soul singer. Why don't you hold politicians to the same standards? You know they have a 24 hour bar at the Pentagon? Unlike Amy Winehouse, these people make decisions that directly affect your lives. Time to get off your high horses and get your priorities straight, you stupid fucks!

i'm sure her vag smells like pickled pig's feet

Addendum:

Samual Taylor Coleridge was addicted to opium
Van Gogh abused absinthe, an addiction that made his paintings even better
Edgar Allen Poe abused Mescaline
Joseph Conrad was probably a complete racist
TS Eliot was definitely an anti-semite
James Joyce was an alcoholic who fantasized about other men fucking his wife

You gonna pull these great artists from our high school curriculum?

The Beatles, Doors, Velvet Undergound, Rolling Stones, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, The Who...all persistently and completely fucked out of their heads on one substance or another. I won't even mention venerated jazz musicians. If you have such a problem with Amy Winehouse's drug abuse, burn all your CD's.

sure she can sing, hellova unique style, and gutsy for a "little person" just the fame and the money and the drugs are killing her.....I reckon she might be the enabler, not Blake the junkie fuckup.

who is this throw back from the 80's? she looks dumb, but all girls do as soon as they pick up a guitar.

Hey EveryonePoops, you make a really great, completely valid, well thought out point there. Multiple points, in fact.

Bill Hicks couldn't have said it any better. Wait........

Hey Rip, yeah, I was thinking about that with the "go home and take all your tapes and CD's and burn them" bit. i wanted to try and put it another way, but he said it so well. I love that part about "pulling Ringo down off the ceiling"

Yeah, Bill Hicks would be on our side. Cheers.

she's very very very very ugly.and scary too.

Yeah, man. When listening to Amy WInehouse, I just can't help but be reminded of Jim Morrison. I mean, like Jimbo, Winehouse is taking her "art" to a completely new, and unsecured level. Amy is on that level! A genius.

See, Amy Winehouse is on the forefront of mass communication. Amy has to get her art out. It's killing her. The need to create is killing Amy.

Amy is, like, this generation's Johnny Cash. Spell-binding. A rebel. The woman-in black (smeared eye-liner).

There hasn't ever been anything like Amy. She is the earth. The food. The water. Everything.

What a joke..

you are so cool. but i just found out your secret that you have joined an online a club called sugarmommymeet.com, by which you are seeking a sexy guy for extramarital relationship.. Is that true?

Hey D. Richards, thanks for taking what a few people have said on this topic and completely blowing it out of proportion. If you want to be flippant instead of trying to come up with something insightful, go for it. Whatever makes you happy, man. This is thesuperficial, after all, so I'm probably in the wrong to be defending anyone in earnest anyway.

Even so, nobody has said she's a visionary. The only reason I brought up those other people who are generally regarded as having greater, "more important" merits was to illustrate the point that she's hardly the first musician/writer/artist/whatever to have a drug habit or lifestyle that many people tend to object to.

Here's why I think Amy Winehouse is cool:

She writes the bulk of her own music and hires real musicians (not "producers") to co-arrange it with her.

The production on her last record is really well thought out, and it wouldn't hurt for other artists around today to bag all the pro tools, canned production and try to do something a little more sophisticated.

She can actually sing, and does so live (when she shows up, anyway) without lip synching or the use of DAT tapes.

And perhaps most importantly, she's one of only 2 or 3 Soul artists today who can play music and respects all the old Stax and Motown records (when production and talent meant something) without trying to just ape them.

Yes, she has a drug habit, and that's unfortunate. But she's not the first, and she's not likely to be the last.

I saw Amy sing 2 weeks ago in Newcastle and she nailed her 90 min performance. The English press play on her weaknesses and those who pray on her far too much.
Personally, although she looked liked she'd ate a gazzilion spacecakes and had a couple of moments where she got confused between her backing singers and her own lines....she did a decent job and doesnt need to be crucified continuously by the media.

This discussion has officially made my day. :)

...................................FINALLY, IT'S THERE: T H E E N D !!!!!


and justice for all.......................................................................................HALLELUJA!!

oh, she is so hot. My friends see many her nude photos on a dating site called http://herpesmates.com

to me the best part of this item is: "I’ll admit; the monkey was right. That was the best drinking game I’ve ever played." Amy Winehouse quitting is blah in comparison to the way the final paragraph ends. Wow, great stuff!

These people and their art are not that important to civilization. We have had plenty artists. Fuck art and 2-bit singers and abstract painters and all these second rate drug addicted degenerates. THIS is one of the things wrong with our world.
Read and listen to timeless classics. But then again I would imagine there would not be a way for the unscrupulous capitalist pigs to make dirty money catering to slobbering cravings of the mindless.
Die Amy and take all the rest of Hollywood and Motown with you!

You know what, she's really ugly. Fat (uh 'scuse me "curvy") or skinny, she's ugly. When she was full, it was more apparent how badly shaped she is. Typical Beulah body; big tits, no hips or ass, long donkey face and teeth to match.

Honestly, some peolpe just need to die, like rilly!

42 Poe used laudanum and the green faerie whose name I forget right now. Get yer fact straight and stop tellingsu how to post. Like we don't know who used what. Pleas do ME a personal favor and STFU!

Everyone Poops, please get over yourself. You have that quintessential "I'm new to the Fish" syndome. I had it about 4 years ago, I got over it and now I just wish the stupid spammers would stop spamming our site with the millionaire and nudist nonsense.

(mumbles "christ" under breath)

Too bad. I'll miss it when she sings great lyrics like "Finggla dinkth asd da frendddds seth miggumdum fin".

And then throws up on stage.

Sigh.

I think Amy's bonus points for going to rehab cancel out her fail-points for canceling the tour, check it out:

she looks BONKERS

61, it's like Herbet Marcuse said: "Whatever you throw at capitalism will just be sold right back to you." Or is that wrong to say?

Shallow Val, I'm not "new to the fish." I haven't posted in a lot time simply because I haven't been inclined to. Get YOUR facts straight. And just because I happen to disagree with the majority of what is being said doesn't mean I'm "telling people how to post." That's the second time I've had someone obscure something I've said, seemingly for no other reason than to be be defensive. Pretty lame.

What's a Jewish girls favorite wine?

Badum-bump!

69 - I forgot to tell you to shut up.

Shallow Val, right. By the way, Edgar Allen Poe did use mescaline. Kenneth Silverman and I'm sure many other biographers have said so. He abused many things. Laudenum may have been one of them. I find it humurous how defensive you got about that. I wasn't trying to be a snob; I was only trying to illustrate a point.

Anyway, you've made it clear that you have a limited intellect that makes it difficult for reasonable people to tolerate you. I've tried being rational, but you just want to be fatuous, and your little attempts at being clever are just so much vapid bullshit.

So I'll tell it to you in terms you can understand: you're a stupid cunt.

shit she's only 24? Man life's been rough on her face.

Jailbird husband isn't in the slammer. He's hiding in her beehive.

#62 "Honestly, some peolpe just need to die, like rilly!"

I totally agree. u go first.

This girl is an unique singer/songwriter. The negative testimonials towards her looks is just a monument to how putrefied and shallow our collective society has become.

Aretha Franklin. Imagine if she had to live up to the same "hot or not" standards of today.

With most statistics putting obesity at an ALL TIME HIGH in the USA, who the fuck are you to judge. Basically she looks like EVERYBODY ELSE who isn't a surgically enhanced "look" that most media types are. So when you attack her looks, or lack there off, you're really jut preaching SELF LOATHING.

As for her apparent drug consumption and nihilistic self destruction?

FUCK YEAH.

Sex DRUGS and ROCK-N-ROLL.

How many of these supposed hard hip-hop/R-B ganstaas have the balls to so interestingly blow up in PUBLIC like this.

Fiddy cent is a pussy...

#65: ROFL
I got a quick visual of Bill the Cat, barfing up a hairball, for some reason.

And it's Edgar Allan Poe.

Amy Winehouse cancels her career.
Even the best manager can't save someone from the result of their poor decisions forever...

What is more self apreciating than having your name embeded into your guitars fucking fret board? I bet she bangs herself with the neck of it while she thinks about her fucked up strung out husband getting a reach around in the pen.
