Amy Winehouse Cuts Horrendous St. Lucia Gig Short

Posted Mon May 11, 2009 12:50pm PDT by Justin Mathews in Musictoob

Amy Winehouse's Carribbean "comeback gig" was her worst gig ever.

Winehouse performed at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival last Friday, but left the stage abruptly when she was roundly booed.

Apparently, her performance was just awful.

Reports say she couldn't remember her lyrics--a common complaint at the "Rehab" singer's gigs. Audience members also said she stumbled around, appearing to be drunk or under the influence of drugs.

An official spokesman for the singer said: "Amy would like to express her disappointment that weather forced the abandonment of her show at the St Lucia Jazz Festival on Friday night. Amy and the band tried to soldier on but the set had to be cut short."

As anyone present would tell you, though, the downpour might have been part of the problem--but Amy was the rest of it.

When it started to rain, Amy became distracted, lost her balance, and forgot her lyrics.

The audience heckled her, and she blew up, even screaming, "F*** you!" at fans who couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Amy's spokesman continued: "Amy is very disappointed, as St. Lucia has been wonderful to her and its people have welcomed her with open arms, but circumstances beyond anyone's control meant that this special show did not go as planned."

"she stumbled around, appearing to be drunk or under the influence of drugs." Yeah that's pretty much why she's famous, if you went to see her and didn't expect that your on a little something yourself. Get this garbage so-called music out of the public eye already.

Honestly- It finally happened. She can't sing without her vocal equalizer/purifier she has on her mic. One some performances you can even SEE it on stage and everyone still thinks she is this fantastic singer. She's not.
