There's this thing among English musicians to talk trash about other artists. It seems Noel Gallagher of Oasis is dissing someone every other week , most recently lashing out at Robbie Williams. Now Amy Winehouse (I know, not many other people over here know her either) is talking trash about Bono. It's not the first time the young singer sought to make a name for herself by taking on the superstar. At the British "Q" Awards, Winehouse made the papers with an obscenity-laced interruption of Bono's acceptance speech.
Since she's new to many of us Americans, here's a bit of history: Amy is nearly as famous in the UK for her alcohol fueled antics as she is her music. Last fall, she gave an awful performance on the Charlotte Church show that left papers wondering if she was drunk while trying to sing Michael Jackson's "Beat It." Amy's even had a hit song called "Rehab." In January she reportedly had to run offstage to hurl, leaving concertgoers a bit miffed.
Amy just hit the States for a tour, and is obviously looking for more press. So, what does she do? She slags off Bono again. After her gig at NYC's Joe's Pub, she sat down with Spinner for an interview and re-lived her heckling escapades. She also bragged about dissing the Irishman after he introduced himself. Hmm... let's see, Bono's last NYC gig was a sold-out Madison Square Garden. And, Amy is at... Joe's Pub. I like Joe's, but I think we might see another reason behind the attacks, eh?
And here are people's reactions to the above news:
I have never heard of this woman, so i did a google search. She looks like a ugly man in drag.
She desperately wants attention and fame, but she's not gonna get it by constantly slaming someone way more popular and talented that she'll ever be...
She'll never be what bono is. She's just pathetic, have another drink!
Who the f*** is this dumb bitch anyway, i've never eveb heard of her?, If she wants to become well known she should be making friends with Bono no slagging him off the stupid mole. She is just going to end up with a lot of enimies, no fan base and will probably wind up working on a road works crew shovelling gravel coz she is such a useless drunken scrag.
GO F*** YOURSELF AMY WHINO or what ever ya f'n name is again
...I think this next person thinks they're Bono...Amy who??? Oh that poor excuse for a songwriter
That skank would be lucky to even sniff my testicles, Much less slam me for the great song writer I am. Go shoot yourself full of heroin and please crap on yourself as well.
There are acouple of nice comments and afew more horrible ones.
How these people can say she's talentless and can't write songs is bull. They've obviously never listened to any of her songs!
What do you guys think?
she isn't pure as the driven snow (witness how umpopular Britney Spears got after she revealed she was human by having a sherbet or two:-o) and © she doesn't look like a blonde, plastic-boobed all-American beauty. As for the idiot who said she looked like a man in drag, take another, closer look, you brainless cretin. Oh, before you do, take a look in the mirror, I'll bet Adonis ain't starin' back at you!
Finally, I saw her on Charlotte Church, herself not averse to plain speaking and the occasional libation or two, and just thought that she was singing a song unsuited to her voice.
