Hi I`m brand new to this forum.
I saw last nights concert at Eden and had high hopes; my wife is a huge fan. The first 5 or 6 songs went well but then after attempting a bit of dialog with the audience, she ran off stage for some reason the it all seemed to fall apart. At times Ami seemed in great distress smacking her face and wiping her eyes. She than spent 10 mins sat down while she introduced the band, slurring. She went off stage after 50 mins, then came back and did a very rough Zutons"Valerie" which she barely made it through bashing herself on the head with her microphone several times. The encore was very reluctant, and we barely had an hour of music, which for 30 quid a ticket I was not happy with.
This girl is a major talent, her band was shit-hot and the set fantastic but I would have to seriously consider paying money to see her again until she sorts her head out. I felt uncomfortable watching her at times. Unless this is some sort of clever I-wanna-be-Billie Holliday act, which I don`t think it is.

What a very sad concert review. I am going tonight but by the sound of it she certainly is not enjoying playing live. You do wonder what pressure is being put on to play larger venues and when you have thousands waiting to see you it must be an enormous pressure to be under.

Well i went to see her at the eden project and to say it was worryin was an understatement. I'm new to the forum too and couldn't wait to see her, obviously unsure as to whether or not she was going to turn up. Fully agree with DeepSeaDivers account. Although i would add that when she ran off after the banter, she came back after about two minutes and from where i was (right in the front with a view ofboth the wings) she seemedto have words with Blake and then came back on crying...she cried through two songs and it was so sad to see. From there she went rapidly down hill and after singing another five or six slurred songs...she ended 'me and mr jones' by saying ''fuck....' and then spitting at someone in the crowd. She walked off and after about 10 minutes came back on ..looked at the guys on the right and said 'we'll do fucking 'valerie' and then that's it'...she slurred through that banging the microphone hard against her forehead and even once slapped herself in the face...then before the music ended she ran off, leaving the backing singers to pick up the pieces. If ever there was a public nervous breakdown that was it. She really needs help or it could be the most talented british artist in years up in flames......or god forbid, even worse.
