The Amy Winehouse trainwreck arrives in Serbia

[marmar]

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Amy Winehouse was booed and jeered during a concert in Serbia's capital as she stumbled onto the stage, mumbled through her songs and wandered off.

Serbian media described the concert late Saturday kicking off her European tour before about 20,000 fans as a "scandal" and a "disaster." The Blic daily said the concert was "the worst in the history of Belgrade."

Winehouse, who has publicly struggled with drugs and alcohol, was almost an hour late, before stumbling to the stage and appearing unable to remember the lyrics to her songs. She dropped the microphone and occasionally disappeared, with her band playing instead.

The crowd at Belgrade's fortress could hardly tell which song Winehouse was singing and responded angrily. Many walked out in disappointment. ..............(more)

1. I just finished watching some video of that performance- of which there is a lot on YouTube and..

...it's fucking disgraceful. It's not so easy to come up with the equivalent of $70 and you kind of have to see any of the videos of the performance to understand how absolutely pointless it was for her to be on stage. I think you could have picked any fan out of the crowd and with the incredible backing back and singers that she had- they could have put on a far far better show.

I hope they get refunds and I hope she gets help. What a great voice. But she's just a fucking lush. There's nolonger anything mystical or shiek about her drug/alcohol use. If this was an indication of where she is in life, she might as well be in a gutter someplace covered in her own puke. Her family must be dying, it's hard enough to tell an adult what to do but one who's a multi-millionaire? Just terrible and really sad. Such talent.

3. She's got more talent in her little pinky than some of the

what are considered to be the top entertainers right now. Damn shame she can't see how blessed she is.
