I’m glad she got it over with. She looks stunning for 45 years old. ☹ The way Amy’s life is, you have to wonder if she’ll be around to ever perform live again. I predict a major drought of information on her for a long time. ---

thanks for all the news everyone. i agree she does look ill. it sometimes seems she’s not even into looking good anymore, especially with her hair. things have changed a lot… bit i’m glad she sounded good. i hope she recovers soon. ---

And what was happening with that outfit? Bizarre - what is the blue halter neck thing that is under the dress but over the top of the pink bra? She looks rough, as has been said. ---

i actually think she looks okay, her beehive is not good, lol, but i think she doesn’t look so wide eyed which is usually a sign of being drunk or really tierd, her skin looks okay, she doesn’t seem to have heaps of makeup covering it, i dono i think she is looking better ---

Winehouse is VERY conscious of the camera 2. Her usually neat beehive is rather askew, hate to say it, her attire and look resembles the gig in Russia. At the site, below her Bestival pics, there are photos of 2nd day of the V Festival, remarkable difference. That being said, I’m glad Winehouse doesn’t have any more concerts, she needs to focus on her health and her husband. It is impossible for her to be with anyone in her current shape. I’m pleased and relieved that she had a strong showing for her last concert of the year, go out with a bang, not a crash. My wish, for her new album and the new year, is that she ditches the beehive. I’m sorry, that thing has had too many disasters. ---

you know i love amy and her crazy style, but in the past eight months or so her clothes have been getting tackier and cheaper looking by the minute, she is looking really trashy, she needs to A) get a better hairdresser to make her hive better. or B) ditch the hive and i think she should get rid of the eyeliner flickes, she looks so much prettier without them, oh well, it may never happen, i just want her to get better clothes, her clothers are so trashy and cheap looking lately. well most of them. ---

GMTA, gretski. Her management needs to fire her stylist. That dress was too big and looked as it was coming apart at the seams. Ironic, no? ITA w/pearljo’s post, there needs to be a ‘draught of information’ for a long time. She did look twice her age, the hard stuff doesn’t provide a good look, y’know? ---

yeah, but even the stuff she wears out and about in london, mum says she looks like a indie street kid or something, ahahah. in the nicest possible way, she just looks all over the place, hopefully that will get better ---

> [@](#): > > **Amy Winehouse has played her last scheduled show of the year after closing the second night at Bestival.** > Despite turning up 40 minutes late for her headline performance, the singer arrived to huge cheers at Robin Hill Country Park. > But her late appearance meant organisers had to cut her set short and she was forced to rush through her two biggest hits Valerie and Rehab. > Many fans were pleased to see her play after they feared she may not turn up. > **Happy fans** > The show came just over a week after she pulled out of Rock en Seine in Paris with illness just hours before she was due to go onstage. > Rosalie Edwards, 29, who travelled all the way from Port Talbot in South Wales was keeping her fingers crossed that Winehouse would make it this time. > > She said: “I’m a big fan of Amy Winehouse all the way. Every time I’ve tried to see her before, tickets have sold out straight away. I’d be devastated if she didn’t come onstage, she’s awesome.” > The theme of the second day at Bestival was fancy dress with much of the crowd appearing as sea creatures. > Winehouse’s nine-piece band also got in the spirit, wearing white sailor outfits. > The singer went on to play a host of songs from her second album Back To Black, but 35 minutes into the set she told the crowd: “Bestival I have been told I’ve got to wrap it up after the next song.” > She then introduced each member of her band. > Organisers granted her an extra five minutes in which she performed a cover of The Zutons hit Valerie. She cut the song short and told the band to play Rehab. > **‘Final performance’** > Following the show some fans said they really enjoyed what is set to be her final performance of 2008. > Jessica Mould, 20, from London said: "I thought she was very good and I thought her band were superb. > “But I thought she could have come out with a bit more of an upbeat song to start us off on. She ended really well and I ended up really enjoying it.” > Other fans were disappointed though. Sam Cooke, 30, from Liverpool said: "I was looking forward to seeing her but it was a bit of a disappointment. > “I think they’re brilliant songs but she seems to have got bored of them.” > ![](http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gif) > > Amy Winehouse setlist > Addicted > Just Friends > Tears Dry On Their Own > Cupid > Back To Black > Wake Up Alone > Love Is A Losing Game > You Know I’m No Good > Me And Mr Jones > Valerie/Rehab [http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid\_7602000/7602648.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_7602000/7602648.stm) ---
