From: http://www.telegraph...-in-Moscow.html


The 27-year-old singer was flown into Moscow on the unnamed oligarch's private jet last Thursday and put up in one of the Russian capital's best hotels ahead of her performance the following evening.

She sung a selection of her most famous songs which were hand-picked by the publicity-shy oligarch to entertain his VIP guests who included other tycoons and stars of Russian showbusiness.

Her performance, on the closed-off top floor of a central Moscow shopping centre, went down well with the audience though the Russian media claimed she appeared withdrawn.

Miss Winehouse, who has previously sung for billionaire Roman Abramovich and his girlfriend for a similar fee, is said to be a favourite among Russia's super rich. Her performance on Friday lasted around forty minutes, meaning she earned just under £25,000 a minute.

Wealthy Russian businessmen often like to fly in American and British celebrity singers to perform at private functions for hefty fees. The Daily Telegraph understands that the oligarch who flew in Miss Winehouse is estimated to be worth more than £3 billion, making him one of Russia's richest men. Anxious to guard his privacy, he ensured that security at the event was tight, reportedly assigning fifty bodyguards to Miss Winehouse.

you know how many offers like these Streisand turned down over the years? Plenty. Amy comes off as a singer who is interested in cashing it all in for a quick buck. I do not like this one bit

Singers do it a lot. Christina Aguilera literally is paid millions to sing at these millionaire parties. It's quick money and beats having to actually tour.

Is anyone else saddened that no video has emerged from the Russia shows?

Prepare to cringe.

What's so "cringing" about that performance? Seeing as before she had to drink herself to get comfortable in settings like this, I just take it she's really nervous. I hope we get more footage. At least her voice is still there.

I wish Zalon would've said something about the new songs. Somebody should.

amy loves to tour though; thats the thing...this article makes it seem like she just wanted easy bucks; but in reality amy gets sooo pumped to perform (when she is not already pumped by drugs/drinks). I can't wait til' she plays some accessable shows...not for rich lucky fucks!LOL

Why wouldn't she be drunk in that video? Plus, what's not to cringe at except those few lines that she got right?

Yeah, great, but God forbid artists should have to tour and please their fans who paid for their albums! Three Cheers for Lady Gaga for loving and respecting her Lil Monsters.

well winehouse hasn't had an album for years (sadly :'-() so she can't be blamed! but i have to agree more touring less sitting on their arses. ---but i feel lady gaga just is a fame whore who cant stop herself; i think being an ass is her drug

yes, celebrity singers do it alot. Artists don't. It cheapens them.
I meant to say Streisand never stooped to one of these private gigs, though she had many many offers over the years. You just don't. It's tacky, imo
She can give private gigs to kings and queens but can't make up for the tour she cancelled forcing all with tickets to eat substantial ticket fees.
I'm pretty grossed out by Amy right now.
Sorry guys

R E S P E C T Amy, find out what it means to us your fans
