Gigwise Readers Slam Amy Winehouse's MTV Performance

Gigwise readers have reacted with a mixture of anger and despair at Amy Winehouse’s slurred performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards last night (November 1st).

A last minute addition to the line-up, Winehouse gave a nervous and virtual inaudible performance of the title track from her second album, ‘Back To Black,’ that shocked the huge crowds in Munich.

Sherrie got in touch with us to say that she watched the performance with her hand “firmly over my mouth.”

She added: “My mother was asking me if Amy only knows the chorus. Her backing singers looked silly, dancing with such enthusiasm! What was the point? It was excruciating to watch someone so talented perform so badly!”

Yvonne was similarly shocked by the performance and like other readers who got in touch with us, she thought that Winehouse was initially singing in German.

“V. unprofessional,” she stated. “I think the producers should have made sure she was up to the job be4 they gave her the go ahead to perform. Such a waste of really good talent!!!”

Despite many of our readers claiming that the singer look like she was “drugged up to the eye-balls,” almost all have expressed their sadness at the state of the critically acclaimed star.

Ariel said: “So sad. One of my favourite artists and I felt so sorry for her throughout the preformance. She needs help and I truly hope she gets better, for the sake of music! Amy is a BRILLIANT musician and talent.”

Megan even thought that Winehouse made Britney Spears recent career flop at the MTV Video Music Awards look professional.

“I’ve seen her perform three times this year, and that was the worst,” she added.
