I saw her on the V music festival on tv. She looked filthy like she has been sleeping in the gutter and she was coughing and hacking up a lung inbetween her slurred singing. That girl is just a big ol mess!

:stunned:

Will Amy survive long enough to put out a 3rd album?

I hope she can clean up her act. I really like her music, but she's one messed-up chick! And Dave- a 3d album's only worth it if it's any good... I can't imagine how she could put together a decent album in the state she's in. Though, I guess she's done it before...

Her backup singer/dancers are pretty funny. They just keep dancing behind her with big smiles on their faces like nothing is wrong.

I have a feeling she's excellent live. I'd go and see her if the opportunity arose.

i know that was posted 2 years ago,

it's weird how singers can drop so quickly.

i would probably pay not to see her D:

 

My sister saw her last summer at oxegen festival,

She said that it was shockingly bad.

Amy Winehouse turns down payment for disastrous Serbian concert after audience backlash

Amy Winehouse has turned down payment for her shambolic concert in Belgrade, Serbia.

The troubled singer was originally thought to be demanding full payment as, despite giving one of the worst shows of her career, she had fulfilled her contract by arriving on time and staying on stage for 70 minutes.

Amy - who seemed dazed and lost as she stumbled around the stage - was booed off by angry fans after delivering barely recognisable versions of her hits.

A let down: Amy Winehouse looked inebriated as she arrived on stage an hour late in Serbia, staggered about, slurred her words and was jeered by the audience

 

The furious concert organisers said today that they expected they would have to pay the singer in full because she kept to the letter of her contract with them.

'She did it all according to the agreement. She arrived in Belgrade on time and stayed on stage for 70 minutes, so we can't do anything,' a spokesman for the promoters told local media.

But a spokesperson for Winehouse told the Mail Online that she will not seek payment for the performance after all.

The rep said that upcoming festival dates in Istanbul on Monday and in Athens on Wednesday would be cancelled following the Belgrade show. Her next show is scheduled for July 8 in Spain.

Where am I? Amy looked lost and confused as she swayed in front of the microphone

 

The Back to Black star's management had banned alcohol from every room on the floor of the Hyatt hotel she was using in Belgrade in a desperate bid to keep her on the straight and narrow.

But her Saturday night performance was so dire that even the Serbian government has attacked her.

 

Defence minister Dragan Sutanovac said on his Facebook page: 'Amy's concert was a shame and a huge disappointment.

'She is far from being a queen. She's more like a patient of a rehabilitation clinic for drugs and an alcohol addict. She needs serious medical assistance.'

Concert organisers meanwhile are trying to find where the singer obtained whatever it was that had made her seem intoxicated - warning that they might seek compensation if it turned out to be the hotel or someone related to the event that had agreed to keep alcohol away from the star.

 

 

What is she doing? To the amusement of her band, Amy bends over on stage to take off one of her shoes

 

Hello: Amy holds on to her guitarist who she went over and hugged as after being introduced onto the stage at Belgrade's Kalemegdan Park

 

A statement released earlier by Winehouse's management read: 'Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home.

'She would like to apologize to fans expecting to see her at the shows but feels that this is the right thing to do.'

An hour after she was due to arrive on stage in Belgrade, after being introduced by one of her backing singers, she staggered on and made her way to the back to hug one of her guitarists.

Wearing a short green and black dress that accentuated her cosmetically-enhanced breasts, she sat down on one of the speakers and adjusted her shoes while her concerned backing singer asked if she was ok and steadied her back to her microphone.

 

 

Are you ok? As she stumbled around looking lost, her backing singer grabbed her hand in concern

 

Amy, 27, looked confused and then took off one of her shoes which she threw on the floor before walking unsteadily over to her microphone.

After missing her cue a couple of times, she proceeded to deliver a half-spoken and mumbled version of her song Just Friends, her last release back in 2008.

Halfway through, slurring her words which she had difficulty stringing together, she told the crowd at the city's Kalemegdan Park: 'Let me bring the band introduction.'

But then she tried to continue singing the song, smiling all the while, seemingly oblivious of how she was coming across to her fans.

 

 

Trying her best: At some points during the concert, Amy looked lucid and happy as she sang some of her biggest hits

 

After hugging herself and failing to sing most of the song, she then came back in as the band finished, looked surprised and then slurred 'Just Friends' into the microphone as an astonished crowd booed and halfheartedly clapped.

The situation didn't improve much throughout the concert, as the Back to Black singer disappeared off stage several times leaving her band playing.

And according to local press reports, the 20,000 fans described as a 'scandal' and a 'disaster'.

 

 

 

Voluptuous: Amy's short green and black dress accentuated her cosmetically-enhanced breasts

 

 

 

Fans were also angry as may had paid about £35 a ticket which is a lot of money in a country where the average salary is about £274 a month.

One fan angrily wrote on YouTube - where videos of her disastrous performance have been posted - that he was still mad at her.

They fumed: 'She started a show and turned her back to public (btw, for most of us it was not that easy to give the money for ticket because of the economic situation in Serbia) and that was just the beginning of her disrespect and bizarre behavior.

 

Unsteady: Amy hugged herself a lot throughout the gig as she swayed about

 

'She did not sang one song from beginning to the end, Some of them she didn't even tried to sing. Not a fan anymore'

Amy is due in Turkey tomorrow to play Istanbul's Kucuk Ciftlik Park and also has dates in Greece, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Hungary and Romania, finishing up on 15 August at Iolanda Balas Soter Stadium, Bucharest.

Earlier this month she checked out of The Priory Clinic at the suggestion of her father, Mitch, over concerns she was drinking too much prior to her live shows.

 

Outrage: Fans, who had paid a lot of money to see her play, turned on the star afterwards and called the show a 'disaster'

 

Her spokesman said: 'Amy Winehouse has completed her assessment at the Priory Clinic in London and will continue as an outpatient.

'She is now looking forward to playing shows around Europe this summer and is raring to go.

'She would like to send a huge thanks to all her fans for the messages of support she has received over the last week and can't wait to see them.'
