Amy Winehouse attacks Glasto crowd member
By Rav Singh
CRAZED AMY WINEHOUSE disgraced herself at Glastonbury last night, ATTACKING a member of the crowd.
The singer first used an elbow then threw a flurry of punches after leaving the Pyramid stage to saunter along the front row as she sang Rehab.

The 100,000-strong crowd had lapped up hits, including Back To Black, although there were jeers when Amy dedicated Wake Up Alone to husband Blake, in jail awaiting sentencing for GBH and perverting the course of justice.
The star rambled: "This one was another one where I never thought I would see Blake again. I said, ‘Blake I never thought I would see you again'. I thought I would die with the man and then never see him again."
When people in the crowd jeered, Amy threatened: "Who booed? I will find you."
The star, who has battled drug addiction, arrived at the Somerset festival with TWO doctors keeping an eye on her.
Amy, 24, who was in hospital this week after being diagnosed with emphysema, collapsed a fortnight ago and the docs have been on 24-hour standby under the strict orders of worried record company bosses and dad MITCH.
Amy looked fine when she arrived in a blue gown with a cheery: "How you feeling, Glastonbury?"
But it looked like her team's health fears were being realised when she later tottered back to be caught by a backing singer and then put her hand to her chest and opened her mouth, breathing hard.

Offensive? Report commentYou don't have the full story yet, scout out some witnesses to find out what made her do it. Obviously she was provoked.

Offensive? Report commentshe was trolleyed and was singing disgracefully. Lashing out, at least, was entertaining. Her dreadful karaoke singing was not. Sure, she's got the headlines, but she must wake up and think, god I'm now a talentless knob. And I'm ugly. And probably smell.

Offensive? Report commentShe looked amazing, far from ugly!
Comment number: 120533316
Offensive? Report commentAmazing looking? I thought she looked more like a crack whore who'd have been more at home stood around on a street corner than a 'Diva'. Add to that her weak out of tune singing and her odd 'psychiatric drug' dancing and this was one of the worst performances I've ever seen. She looked like a 'rabbit in the headlights' and as if she didn't want to be there.
Comment number: 120534676
Offensive? Report commentShe is a waste of talent. So unprofessional to do that. Whether she was provoked or not. She is quickly becoming a laughing stock. Yes her husbands in jail, but there are kids dying in our own country and around the world and thats far worse than anything she's going through. Over paid, Over rated and yet still Over here.

Offensive? Report commentThis girls management and family should be ashamed of themselves for allowing her to make such a spectacle of herself whilst clearly she needs serious help not just a day or two in rehab here and there, she needs at least a year away and get real help.
Its true she has a great voice when she is on form but she is making a complete fool of herself in every way, its obvious she is deluded and her brain addled with drugs, if she ever gets clean and replays herself looking and acting the way she is now I doubt she will be impressed with her people for not stopping her.

Offensive? Report commentHow can anybody who has emphysema sing the way that she does? I've seen patients with said disease who walk around all day connected to oxygen tanks. I like her singing and her songs but is this a sick publicity stunt to make us believe she has a valid disease and isn't really a junkie who is slowly killing herself?
Comment number: 120537524
Offensive? Report commentSome one please tell me why do we bother with this girl anymore.
Before she became adddicted to drugs she was brill, now she looks bad, sings rubbish and needs to be taken away from the lime light. By showing what she is doing and how she looks and keeping her fame factor is showing kids that even bad publicity is good for you. She is a druggie and bad one at that. Why do you still want her to sing at events, why do you still want her in the paper. Throw her in rehab and chuck away the key untill she is back to the Amy we loved when she was clean ok rant over xx

Offensive? Report commentI am a huge fan of Amy, as a writer and recording artist. However i am not a fan of her live performances, a number of which i have witnessed. She is always wired, and her singing as previously said is usually out of tune. However given the fact she has emphysema i suppose we can allow her some leeway. The problem here is that like any addict, she won't get better until she is ready. Maybe her record company now need to take control and stop any further live performances. And perhaps when Blakey does get out he will show her how much he does love her by not engaging in the previous destructive lifestyle they shared. If not then i think that Amy will very likely end up as another tragic statistic of the brown stuff!

Offensive? Report commentShe only has the early start of the disease so its not a publicity stunt. She does need to sort herself out though, when she first came on the scene she looked fresh and sounded great. I wish she would go away for 6 months and sort herself out properly. I keep expecting to hear she is dead each day which would be a waste of a young life, then again with all the stabbings and shootings daily in the UK seems we are losing a lot of young lifes!

Offensive? Report commentAmy is as addicted to attention as she is to chemicals. Everyone gives her attention for being a manky dysfunctional so she keeps going. Frankly there are a lot more talented, genuinely beautiful people in the world than her who could really use some support.

Offensive? Report commentI sat in my lounge in absolute SHOCK last night at the state of Amy Winehouse! What an earth were her management company thinking (apart from looking at those flashing £ signs in their eyes!) by letting her perform last night? I'm not sure what type of drug this so called 'hospital' had her on but she was definately off her face on something as she kept telling the audience to F-off for not responding to her questions yet she was slurring so much that they couldn't even understand her!
It doesn't matter what was said to provoke her...she is a 'professional' in the public eye and should NEVER lash out at a crowd! Why was she not taken off after this incident? It sends a message out to kids saying 'Hey..you can be violent and ruin your life with drugs yet still be a star...go ahead'!!IIt's appauling and we wonder why our country is so violent and messed up! As long as the authorities continue to give the likes of Winehouse and Dougherty the glory and celebrity status,the money will keep rolling in for them and things will never get better!Lets put the money to better use! WAKE UP BRITAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Offensive? Report commentAnd just to add....to those who keep saying she looked and sounded great when she first came on....are you referring to the band intro section? If so..what were you ''on for it to look and sound so great?? Are you kidding? It was shocking! Couldn't understand a word she was saying and she looked like the she didn't even know where she was! If we just stop defending her and face up to the fact that she needs to disappear to get full recovery then I agree, we can get the talented Amy back who makes great music and deserves the fame and fortune!

Comment number: 120539784
Offensive? Report commentPersonally I think this is the best we've seen Amy perform for at least a year. Yes she may have a drug problem but look back and tell me any legend of rock form the past who didn't. As has been said previously we dont know the story of what happened. She's human at the end of the day she loves blake much to everyones disgust but hey at least she's stuck by him, Doubt any other celebs would stand by their man even if it results in bad press. Lets give the girl a break, leave her alone and maybe we'll have the Amy we once knew back again and performing regulary.

Comment number: 120544812
Offensive? Report commentWhat a shambles - although her fans will doubtless say it was a 'great performance'. She forgot the words, rambled tunelessly and busked her way through the whole set, and then disgraced herself by punching a member of the audience. What was she thinking?! I am sick of looking at someone who is clearly ill, singing out of tune and making a fool out of herself, and all the while being told that she's an 'amazing artist'. You're only as good as your last performace, love.
Comment number: 120545960
Offensive? Report commentAmy is a talented girl but what where her management thinking, allowing her on stage to produce that incoherent rambling 'performance'; she is fast becoming a circus act. Anyone who thought that was a good show must be taking mind-altering substances - want to see a star performer? watch Neil Diamond tonight and compare with Amy - there is none, one is a world star, the other is a talented, but very sick girl.
Comment number: 120547260
Offensive? Report commentHer performance invited pity, as it is obvious she is well below the standard she set when we first became aware of her. She didn't sing one correct note all night, and her rapport with her band has gone. If I were a musician of hers, I'd be looking for another gig by now. But how do we pity someone who can afford to destroy a pair of Christian Louboutin slingbacks in the mud of Glastonbury? And if she is supposed to have emphesema, her performance (and the one at the other festival she did on the same weekend!!) was a miracle. Of hype.

Offensive? Report commentAmy Winehouse is nothing but junkie scum.
Where junkies steal and mug to pay for their fix, Amy's management fund hers, else she'd be mugging and stealing too.

Offensive? Report commentAmy Winehouse's performance at Glastonbury was embarrassing in the extreme.She could hardly stand up, let alone sing and anyone who pays money to see her needs their heads testing.I couldn't believe the people, who obviously don't know much about music, who raved about her performance. What performance!She left her band playing solo bits for ages with no contributions from herself, finally showing her true colours and lack of class with the violence from her. What an insult to Nelson Mandela that she was invited to his birthday celebrations.
Comment number: 120563452
Offensive? Report commentI couldn't understand a word she was muttering on about to be honest. She totally lost it at the end and was falling about all over the shop. Was she on drugs or boozed up? Her band and singers were excellent tho!! The people around her should section her, not just for her own safety but for the safety of others. She has a talent for sure, but she has lost the plot. If she was my daughter, I'd lock her up in my house and get the professionals in, it isn't like the money isn't there. If she doesn't get help, she will end up another Janis Joplin!!

Offensive? Report commentWe slag her off...we praise her...we hate her...we revere her..we like her music...we don't like her music...we feel sorry for her...we don't feel sorry for her...HOWEVER, we all watched her at Glastonbury and we are all commenting, positively or otherwise. As a result, she has achieved her main objective (as opposed to mainline!)...SHE IS a mega star. Like her or not, she is very watchable. Maybe not audible (I guess I heard/understood 1 word in 30!) BUT...nevertherless, *I* did not switch the TV over and *I* am well old! She is however, gonna be the next victim of this life's drug/drink culture. Maybe then and only then will she find what she is looking for and the iconic status she so craves. Amy...this IS your wake up call. Blake will not help you because he can't...together you are but ashes that will be floated in the wind by the people left behind that truly care for you. AMEN and let's not go 'back to black'...let's say YES to b****y re-hab before it's too late.

Comment number: 120572286
Offensive? Report commentAre you people serious when you say she looked great and sounded great ?
Come on, she looked worse than a crack whore who stands on street corners and sounded like one too.
Her family and record company should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this sick joke of a 'star' to make an appearance.
She needs to completely leave the public eye and soon then when she has dried out and recovered she can make a comeback when we just may see the real Amy.
But with her family and record company behind her just interested in the cash she makes I predict her death within 2 years. Its so sad.

Offensive? Report commentwell yea you coudnt understand her but it was hardly her fault. she should have never have been allowed on, it was a great to watch but only because it was so funny,, i think she needs serious help and then she could be a great performer like she really is. I think she's fantastic but it will take some time to sort her out!
Comment number: 120628604
Offensive? Report commentI watched a bit of it as the media were saying she was back on form.
What were they on? Have we got used to seeing such dire performances from her that when she is merely awful its a triumph?
And now she has had a paintjob shes all healthy? Youve been tango'ed!
Yes, I did turn over, I dont want to encourage the medi to show any more of that.
Comment number: 120637278
Offensive? Report commentI for one didn’t find her performance funny, it was cringe worthy, almost like watching a drunk signing in a Benidorm Karaoke bar. She is now in complete car crash mode, in addition the decline in her appearance from 4/5 years ago is unbelievable, probably the ugliest & most hygienic celeb ever to have lived.

I had my two daughters with me while we watched the glastonbury festival aged 10 and 11 and she was a disgrace to children all over the country watching her performance. my daughters said mum that is false hair and her singing sounds terrible. I certainly agreed with them. Please sort yourself out amy it is not too late. x x x x xx
