Church and Winehouse-Beat It

Trying for a third go at this moan-worthy rendition, Amy is in true form here, skonked to the gills on her favorite variety of controlled cocktails......

I've watched this about ten times now (mainly because I heart Charlotte Church), and I still can't get over how unbelievably slurred Amy Winehouse is singing this song. God, she has such a great voice; but goddamn, she's such a junkie loser. People with natural talent who throw it away like her are a crying shame.

... maybe worth mentioning that substance abuse is a disease... ( http://www.medicinenet.com/alcohol_abuse_and_alcoholism/article.htm )

I watched an interview with the awesome James Taylor last night in which he talked about how he lost 20 years to substance abuse. It can seem easy from our vantage point to NOT do something like get blitz before performing an MJ song on TV, but as an alcoholic her body and mind truly see it as a necessity... the getting blitz part, that-is.

I think her delivery is awesome. That song is hackneyed and insipid. I think she gives it a delicious post-punk flavor. She killed it, and to my ear it sounds good. And the first thing you forget when you're soused is the words, which she hasn't, so I think it might be intentional. Some artists do this to shake of superficial stardom and stay in the fight.

I cringe over imagining how many guitarists crawled over each other to get to play that EVH part.

Wait wait wait...this isn't open Mic karaoke night at the local pub? In any case, Kronos is right, being shit-faced makes this sound absolutely fabulous (great show, I might add). I can almost catch the tune she's grasping at...three sheets to the wind, mind you. "Tigg-tittly tum tiggy tum mc'fair", something "bout your face make my want to (blank) my hair"' then it goes into a diatribe, which makes me ralph at my own jokes, and say something horrible like "get the down's syndrome child off the stage!" Regardless of the revelance of my last quote, it should be applied to almost any public persona's appearance, regardless of mental capacity.
