Posts 8 Really disappointed. Like an earlier poster, also felt sorry for her and thought maybe the mike/ speakers at fault but then the backing singers sung and were great, no problem technically! Think she was bored, disinterested and arrogant, didn't even bother to greet her crowd, picking her fingers for gawds sake. She was 1 hour and 13 minutes from start to finish, disappeared in the middle for what, 20 minutes and spent another 20 minutes on solos from each (excellent) band member and mumbled the first half. Second half passable but she'd lost everyone by then. I didn't support the booing but..... Really wish I'd donated my ticket price to a good cause and not bothered. I hop

Posts 25 Such a shame - her encore was actually really good, but by that point most people had given up. If only she'd carried it like that the whole way through.
I honestly thought she wasn't going to come back on stage at one point, but I imagine there was a clause in her contract that said she wouldn't get the full pay cheque if she didn't complete the gig!!

Posts 334 I think she wasn't so bad after she returned...Think she was cold and disturbed by the blinking big wheel (she always looked in that direction) and yes soundcheck is sth you should do before...

Winehouse opened with favourites such as Back to Black from the 2006 album of the same name and moved to selections from her 2003 debut album, Frank.

But, according to those in the crowd, the singer seemed distracted throughout the show, and briefly left the stage after 30 minutes, forcing her backing singers to step in.

She returned about 10 minutes later to perform Rehab, the chart hit from Back to Black, but was greeted with a hostile reception.

This is Winehouse's first time in the Middle East and the precursor to her European tour.
