Amy Winehouse elbowed and then punched someone in the crowd while she performed this past weekend in the UK. And what’s totally awesome is that someone got it on video and then super slo-mo’d it and put it on repeat play. LOVE.
She’s on the verge of death and totally crazy and all, but I have to give her snaps for calling Kanye West the c-word, which she also did during this performance. At least she has SOME sense.
Enjoy.
I have a dirty confession to make. It’s awful and I realize that everyone will hate me when I say this.
My confession is thus:
Against all logic, sanity or reason, I totally love Amy Winehouse.
Dear Kitty, I don’t hate you. If she weren’t always totally wasted and could control herself, just maybe I would appreciate her as an artist too.
The best part of this is that the guard seems to be there to keep Amy from hurting the crowd, instead of the other way around.
I kinda like her more after that. She throws an elbow, steps back, thinks – “gosh, that didn’t do it” and THEN punches. And KEPT SINGING! Awesome!
And double bonus points for calling out Kanye.
She may be a crazy, cracked out, shell of her former self, but I still wouldn’t cross her on her worst day. She’s one of those girls that will be completely restrained by a big dude and still manage to pull of her shoe and throw it at you.
It’s like watching a truck go down a mountian with no brakes. You know how it’s going to end and it’s not going to be pretty.
I must say, her music isn’t half bad. And I give her props for never missing a beat while she was punching. But the hair, the makeup, the drugs. That all leaves me in a mocking mood.
She’s one crazy, drugged-out, tough-girl celebrity, and I wish her well. Now if she would just get an act (aside from lame-o grade-B Motown impersonations).
