Amy Winehouse’s Ugly Truths On Show

AMY Winehouse: “With smeared make-up, tattoos, cigarette clenched between her teeth she looks a long way from one of the UK’s most successful performers.”

Indeed, the Mail’s customary shot of Winehouse is of a mode usually reserved for an exposé, one of those stories that show the ugly truth beneath the glitz and the fame.

Winehouse is all about ugly truth. There she is in the street, having departed the Hammersmith Apollo stage to a chorus of boos.

The Star calls that performance “shambolic”. The Mail says she “rambled incoherently”.

It’s terrific stuff. It what the fans want, and expect. Winehouse has developed an act that allows her to forget words, look a mess and end the show whenever she likes.

In a sea of acts that try to do the accepted and the expected thing and entertain, she is the great originator. The only thing than can undo her legend is news of her putting on a great show, looking good and eating five pieces of fruit and veg a day…
