Amy Winehouse's version of the Edge walk
 

smack em...walk away all "i showed you" like, then has to walk back that same direction...w/ a little unease I might add. Shame that first album is so cool, cause this woman is a cluster****. With the constant attention she gets, I think it feels for her like "why change." But omg, even in SN's heyday I doubt it was that pushy and crowded in the front. geesh

I would've decked that beehived bitch out so hard that rat's nest would've come flying off her head. :nod:

"If you F*** with my people, I'll get real f***ing angry."

Amen Curt.. I SOOOOO love that phrase of Stevie's! And she does mean every word of that! LOL;)

The album is great. She has the most promise of any female singer/songwriter I have seen in a long time. For contrast, here she is a while back:

Amy Winehouse is an incredibly talented young woman who has become quite a tragic figure, I think. She's falling apart in public and the public is consuming it. However, she's already becoming "tired" and now that she's been consumed people are spitting her out. It's actually really sad. Her anger in the first clip is uncalled for--and probably the result of drugs. What makes it worse, however, is the way in which public interest in her trainwreck behavior has eclipsed her musical abilities.

I hear she now has major health problems that are atypical of a woman her age.

She makes me ashamed to be English.

No.. don't ever be ashamed of being English! Just because she is has no bearing on you.. ! :nod:

Amy doing th edge walk
 

I watched Amy Winehouse at Glastonbury festival at the weekend and I had such mixed emotions. She was stumbling on the stage, almost falling over and losing her hair, and that was sad, but I loved it when she got off the stage to have contact with the fans, and it reminded me so much of Stevie. Although somehow it wasn't the same, I don't remember seeing Stevie so obviously out of her head. I kept thinking well the Mac were on all sorts of things so what's the difference. But unfortunately in the UK Amy is quite a role model to the young girls, my daughter who is 9 and all her friends love her. It worries me the coverage she gets in the media - apparently there were blatant photos of her a few months back showing serious drug taking in the daily press and that is shocking for it to become the norm for 9+ year olds. I don't remember Stevie being like that. I feel that Amy is a lost soul, she is indeed a brilliant writer and singer and also very lost.:distress:

Truly. I hope she gets the help she so obviously needs. It makes me sick to see someone flush that kind of talent down the toilet.
And yes, Stevie and the Mac always did manage to pull it together for the show. Whatever they were indulging in only seemed to make them more compelling on stage. Amy is just a train wreck. There is nothing compelling about sloppy drunk performances.
Also, I think if Fleetwood Mac was at their zenith now, we'd have the likes of TMZ chasing them and posting god knows what. As it is, there is audio/video out there of them using illicit substances back in the day.

What gets me is the people around her not making her behave. If I were her manager, I'd lock her in a room (albeit a nice one) for six hours before she went on stage and then personally escort her to the stage with a cattle prod in hand to deflect the pushers. As far as I am concerned, they are enabling her.

As for La Nicks, I have seen her high as a kite on stage. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it was just tragic.

True. The Other Side Of The Mirror Tour comes to mind. I will never forget that performance, if it can even be called that. It was close to catatonic with some singing.

Exactly. I was really worried for her after that show. But, she seemed much better at the Dallas BTM show.

I saw Amy perform on the VH1 Concert for Nelson Mandela and she was kinda loopy. She seemed out of it and I could barely understand what she was singing. Some words seemed slurred.

That aside...I do think she has some amazing music and a great voice. I love her latest album, but I wish she would get her life back on track. I hope everything works out for her.
