Amy Winehouse V Festival Performance 2008

Amy Winehouse performed at the V Festival in Staffordshire tonight, and she was a hot mess. Besides looking like she had not slept for days, she arrived 20 minutes late, which forced her band to keep the crowd amused while everyone waited.Dlisted, who has dubbed the troubled singer the Crackie of Camden, seems to have chosen a very fitting name. Amy’s hair was a tangled mess, her makeup was smeared all over her scabby face and her hands were filthy black. Aside from her appearance, her mind seemed to be on other things as she forgot the words to her hit, Back to Black, and mumbled to herself in between songs.

Amy dedicated the next song, Wake Up Alone, to her husband Blake Fielder-Civil. But that didn’t go over well with the crowd who responded by booing.At least she is a step ahead of last year’s performance, which she missed due to a suspected drug overdose. Maybe next year will be the charm.
