It's just been confirmed that Any Winehouse is playing at the 46664 gig. What an absolute joke - here's a charity committed to AIDS, a disease spread hugely through intravenous drug use, and they giving stage time to one of Britain's most famous junkies who has no respect for the law, for others, or herself - they should be ashamed. |

Damn. Wish I was going now. I love Winehouse. |

what a waste of time having her there.a complete toneless slapper,be as well asking pete docherty to duet with her.then maybe both will use an unclean needle a save us all a sore head.how anyone can receive awards for mumbling and being a complete junkie and drunk is boyond me. |
| Freya is quietly judging you. 30.05.2008 09:28 |
You know, Amy isn't nearly as bad as the papers make her out to be. She drinks in places where I drink and she's actually surprisingly normal. I'm not saying she isn't a drug addict, or a heavy drinker, but what I am saying is that I think people are too quick to judge. She's actually probably the most talented female singer/songwriter that Britain's seen for a long time. SO THERE. |
| david (galashiels) 30.05.2008 09:34 |
talented lol lol lol.now you are just being silly.so i have tallent singing tie your mother down when pissed lol.wheres my ivor and my record deal. |
| Freya is quietly judging you. 30.05.2008 09:46 |
So you don't like her, she's not to your taste, fair enough. But she IS talented and she can sing, that's not really up for discussion. I can tell you're just one of those sexist oafs who like to call women 'slappers' for no reason, so I'm not really going to get anywhere. |

She's just an entertainer. It's amazing how many male singers are all messed up on drugs and booze and nobody says anything... because she's a woman, everyone has an opinion on how she should run her life. Really... anyone have any issues with Oasis? The best years of Guns N Roses, Rolling Stones and Aerosmith were fueled by booze and coke. Maybe she'll clean up, maybe she'll die... whatever. If she wants to do the Aids concert and more people are gonna watch cause she's there... where's the problem? |

Totally agree with the things "Freya is quietly judging you." is saying. I like Amy. Don't give a damn about the fact she uses dope. Freddie used cocaine, John Deacon visits strip clubs. Who gives a damn? Live and let live.... |

I don't have a problem with her voice (she is a great singer), and what she does in her personal life is up to her. My problem is with the organisers of the concert (Brian/Jim Beach??) for choosing her to publicise a charity that is not appropriate to her character or lifestyle or public image. it really isn't dignifying for a man of Nelson Mandela's character and integrity to have to shake her hand and ask what she does to support his AIDS charity, to which the answer is nothing but feed the dealers who help to spread the disease. |

I adore Amy, I like the babyshambles and I really love Jimi Hendrix, what these people do in there private life is their own business, I guess they have their reasons for it.... |

I dont think she should be contributing to anything in the state she's clearly in at the moment, and she'll probably delay the show by turning up late - but thats a separate issue. I agree - let people do what they want in their private lives, but when that massively impacts on their performances - as is clearly the case with Winehouse, then people are being short changed by getting a shite show (or no show at all). As for the comments about people getting at her cos she's a woman - get real; Pete Doherty has received huge amounts of press for his addictions and innability to stay out of trouble, and mostly this has come out very negatively on him - I hate the idiot! And this attitude of using drugged up bands who did good work on drugs as some way of suggesting drugs are a good thing - dont be ridiculous! Aerosmith were destroyed by drugs, to the point where Jo Perry left, and couldnt come back until he and Tyler were clean, the music became utter garbage and Ive seen shows where they were drugged up, and they were complete shite! Slash nearly died a few times from drug use, and Hendrix IS dead from excess - arguably the greatest guitarist ever, no longer here to make great music. Some people need to grow up. |

Shouldn't he come to the concert neither? Wake up dude, a lot of stars contributing to the 46664 gig are actually using drugs, you just don't read it in the Sun every day like you do with Amy. You don't have to throw the shit-car on people like Pete or Amy, they are real people with real problems and I rather see them perform than seeing 'perfect' stars playback their hits. |

There's something a bit hypocritical about rock charities from day one. Just imagine all the food for hungry kids in Africa that could've been bought for the price of coke from the backstage of Live Aid. Now, if you don't want to be cynical, you can say the charity event is bringing an issue to public awareness, so the hypocrisy is a small price to pay. I guess. And do you think Freddie stayed away from drugs? It's just that today music press can't survive on bashing music anymore - they have to tear apart the star's personal life for the amusement of their readership. Yeah, drugs are bad, but people living off other's crotches and vomit stains make me sick. |

That's total BS. Where did you get that from? He did coke until 1976 when he gave that and cigarettes up. |

I hope Amy will do well and fingers crossed she does not make a fool out herself or the cause. |

By some of the logic presented here the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert should never have happened. Some people are such hypocrites. |

at least amy is real. shes not trying to be someone shes not, nor is she putting on a face to impress people only to walk off stage and be a junkie. i love her music, her talent is undoubted. i so hope that someday she get herself out of her messes for her sake, at least. |

I'm not saying everyone was clean, but it wasn't a Freddie party with midgets wearing trays and whatnot. The number from Wiki is that over 150 million pounds were raised in total at Live Aid shows. Don't get me started on the farce that was Live 8, but I get touchy about Live Aid because I believe that it truly was something good and special. |
| Markman38 03.06.2008 16:09 |
I agree with a couple of people here. Off course Amy Winehouse is one of the most talnted en gifted artists that is living right now. I don;t think she will become very old but it's her life. And about the drugs thing. Well I believe Brian if he stated that he only once smoked pot but wasn't it Micheal Jackson who stopped working on State of Shock with Freddie because he saw Freddie snoring coke? I don't mind my big basshero John Entwisthle also died of coke abuse but it doesnn't change my view of this bass legend |
| akindofmagic 03.06.2008 23:13 |
Amy had showed a decadent proof of her (lack of) sobriety status last Friday while she almost didn't sing at Rock In Rio Lisboa(lisbon). She falled down, she cryed, she tryed to pick the guitar but couldn't stand with it...She had the rationality to say that should had cancel the show. link |
| Champipple 04.06.2008 08:59 |
If I were organizing the 46664 show I'd cancel her out based on her crap performance and lateness at Rock in Rio. I wouldn't want the success of my benefit concert to rest on her head. But this is NOT a moral judgement on her addictions. |

I also think they shouldn't ask any gay people or african people to perform at the 46664 gigs. Cause AIDS, a disease spread hugely through careless gay people and which is spread across teh African population. In fact, they should even call Mandela himself and ask him to stay home. |
