Amy Winehouse & Nelson Mandela's Birthday

cheerspal

I'm just wondering if anyone else finds it disturbing that a person as clearly sick and in trouble as Amy Winehouse is is asked to perform at a prominent event for one of the most influential people of our times???

Surely that is sending out the wrong message considering there were so many high profile people in attendance and the BBC ensured they interviewed her. I don't care about her talent but us encouraging her as an artist clearly doesn't send out the message that we think her behaviour is wrong

Why aren't her family and record company putting a stop to this madness???

Because it sells? Also, shouldn't this be in a music forum? That is her job, after all

She should get locked up for 27 years as well, if not longer:p

I seen an interview on Sky with her yesterday. She was saying she had come directly from some clinic to the show. Bit odd

Oh, how dare you talk about Amy Winehouse in this way? Don't you realise that she cured all known and unknown diseases, ended poverty and pioneered equal rights for all races??!

Oh wait, hang on, that's right. No she didn't. She wrote a couple of songs. I'm not going to debate whether or not they are good songs, that's a matter of opinion but that is certainly all she's ever done. She wrote a few songs. Yeah, okay I agree with you. Let's stop acting like this crackwh0re is a person of any more value than any other crackwh0re lying in a gutter.

Amy Winehouse used her appearance at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert to beg for the freedom of her jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

Performing the song 'Free Nelson Mandela' at the gig last night, the troubled star changed the lyrics to issue her plea: "Free Blakey my fella".

Fielder-Civil is expected to be sentenced within weeks after admitting to charges of perverting the course of justice and GBH.

Meanwhile, Amy has experienced further troubles of her own recently after being hospitalised with the early stages of lung condition emphysema.

Speaking to Fearne Cotton, who hosted ITV's coverage of last night's event, Winehouse explained: "I've been in hospital, as an in-patient. I'm going back after, I came out for this."

Oh yeah?In his own book he admitted giving orders to his organisation to use bombs against civillian targets.He was arrested in possesion of a bomb with which he intended blowing up a shopping mall full of innocent people.He further refused to renounce violence,refused to speak out against continuing ANC-backed outrages and now refuses to condemn Robert Mugane.

And yet, he was taken off the US terror list - a decision I'm sure they don't make lightly.

"Bin Laden? Sure, haven't heard from him in ages. Might as well take him off the list."

I see that Osama has the same birthday as Chuck Norris. Perhaps they'll have a little get together as well.
