Come Back Winehouse!

Amy Winehouse kicked off her tour last week and what was supposedly meant to be amazing, turned out to be a nightmare.

Recently the 'Back To Black' singer performed at Belgrade and got booed. Watching the video, I wonder how her label/management allowed the tour to go ahead when Winehouse clearly isnt at her best.

To see an artist, who was once classed at 'a legue of her own' go from being incredible to some one that is not only sounding dreadful but also looking very unhealthy. Winehouse looks and feels uncomfortable on stage. I feel uncomfortable watching the video.

How is it possible to get to that stage? Winehouse obviously needs help and all those medications and rehab she was recieving now just seems like it was false. So it makes me wonder. A tour was kicking off which means there must of been intense training and rehearsals. During that time, how was she and was she normal?

In the video, you see that Winehouse comes across like a timid and nervous child. Not remembering the words to her song and slurring. Towards the end of the performance, her friend/back-up singer Zalon checks to see if she is ok.

Let us hope that Amy Winehouse gets the proper help she needs and does come back to her normal self. She had a major influence in the UK music scene and I personally would like to remember her as an astounding vocalist and not for mis-use of drugs and alcohol.

Here's Amy Winehouse trying to perform 'Back To Black'
