this version has a few seconds cut out at the start & a few seconds added at the end, plus an HD option. wonder why both end before the bridge is over? the first ended with a V Fest logo, like they stopped the broadcast at that point, and the second does the same only later. what's going on?

^That's a gorgeous shot of her. Frank-ish even.

If Amy keeps this up and puts out a great third album, pandemonium (of a good kind) is going to break out.

Just a beautiful, classic day on the forum. From Kyla's alert that something unexpected was afoot, the worried waiting, then the first positive article, then the great video, and then Amanda's hilarious recap. Just a lovely trajectory.

She appeared to be a tad nervous, but she looked like she was having fun. Good performance, good one Kyla! Winehouse just doesn't need the pressure to perform live.

[Rockesquirrel]

Cautiously optimistic, no pressure here.....LOL! Compared to her shocking appearance last year, 360º turnaround.

Amy looked stunning her performance was on fire... made me cry, I'm so proud of her.

Good performance from Amy! And she didn't look frail at all, I didn't feel worried. More like the old days before all the angst set in. It's kind of cool seeing her with Terry Hall, I remember the Specials from when I was a kid. And I tend to think my musical tastes are a bit stuck in the past nowadays, so at least Amy brings me a little more up to date...

yep, I whinged about this earlier haha. on the telly they cut just before Ghost Town starts, which is annoying. And yet they showed at least two whole songs of Lily fecking Allen. I'm sure the rest will pop up soon!

[amyfanatic]

here`s the vid in HD! Like..perfect quality<3 I might take some screencaps of Amy later...
God i can`t stop watching it! I almost teared up the first time i saw it. I`m so proud of her and of what she has achieved. I just hope she continues to blow us away...

That was a real surprise, I really wasn't expecting this. I saw this posted on MH's Facebook page and actually needed about half a minute to realise that this was yesterday. "Strange, I don't remember Amy singing with the Specials... Hmm, I really don't remember this... where has my memory gone... Hold on, this is V festival, not Glastonbury... Uh, it was on the 22nd? What's the date now?... WHAAAT!? She performed last night!!!??"

It's so lovely to see that big smile on stage. Good performance too, she wasn't trying to take the spotlight off the Specials too much, good behaviour,...

I've been smiling throughout the whole video, my heart is still beating faster because of the excitement and I'm close to tears because I'm so happy. Thank you Amy, you made my day.

BBC says she just went there to see them, hadn't planned to perform.

A spokesman for Winehouse said: "While living in St Lucia, Amy missed the band's reunion tour and decided to head to V to catch her favourite artists.

"Meeting them backstage, they invited her to guest for them and made her dream come true," he added.

This made me SOOOO happy. I'm so glad she's back on stage and most importantly looking happy, definitely a major improvement from last year. She should really be proud of herself.

[Winehousedrunk]

Her vocal abilities haven't lessened one bit, and compared to horror-year 2008 and early 2009 they've improved beyond belief! She sings really well all the way through, but the improvised notes at the end totally convinced me that she's got the whole range, and in more than just working order! She's once again at a point where she's able to sing anything, which makes the exhaustingly anticipated third album that much more a wish that's soon to become reality, a dream that's soon to become true.

[Alan48]

How can they not have her back today? There will be a black cloud of disappointment over Staffordshire without her!
