Amy has major issues any time she's near a stage. If Island expects her to tour(duh)after release of her album, it won't be pretty. That hasn't changed.

I've just got a response from someone there:

Does anyone else think that maybe she has a serious case of stagefright?

Not saying it's not true, but why does she come on stage as a guest then? I don't see stage fright in her video with the Specials from last year, she was great. Plus that usually phobias can be cured, it's not like she doesn't afford it.

Then again, I wish it was just stage fright and not alcohol again.

I think Kyla is right, Winehouse does have stage fright. Unfortunately, she might require some 'chemical courage'. I believe in earlier interviews, Winehouse 'fessed up that she would have jitters so she'd smoke a joint or have a few drinks.

[Mama_Haze]

She has never looked comfortable up there to me.

[Rockesquirrel]

It's a really cruel dilemma, Winehouse craves attention, yet is insecure whenever she's in the spotlight.

BTW, Welcome back, Super Kyla!!!! You Rawk!!!!!!!

Before beta blockers, I saw a lot of musicians using alcohol or benzodiazepines. I believe beta blockers are far more beneficial than deleterious, and I have no qualms about prescribing them.”

Performers have used a drug called pindolol(beta blocker)for stage fright for a long time. She could use it while working on overcoming the problem.
Will any of that happen? No.

Amy singing badly:

[Amanda]

We are in a constant swings and roundabouts saga with Amy lately! We are seeing stunning pics of her everywhere, and it makes you get the jitters that we are getting "our" Amy back. Then we see the insecure Amy that needs a bot of Dutch courage to stand in front of the people that love her and wish her nothing but the best! It just breaks my heart that she just can't see and hear what we do! Until she does I really can't see any new album or tours for the foreseeable future, and as much as I want nothing more than to be standing in front of her again while she's singing her heart out (and when you are there u feel like she is singing to only you!) if it makes her that nervous that she reverts to type, I would rather she took a bit more me time to get more confident in her own skin. (sorry for the rant)

[Rockesquirrel]

Amanda, you said a mouthful and you hit the nail on the head. I don't want her going the Whitney Houston route of leaping too soon.

[Jayne]

I'm probably going to get shot down for this but she sounds and looks a mess. I feel like going over to her and covering her up, sorry but she looks awful flashing her boobs for the world to see. The performance did improve as it went on but hey it couldn't get much worse.

[Rockesquirrel]

Lord, if You can hear my plea, make Ms. Winehouse see that it's not the tattoos, the 'hive, whatever the look, or chemical courage, but her God-given talents lie within her. Amen!

[ohmr]

Yeah. She's sounded better at her very worse. I don't know what's going on.
