Ms. Winehouse has been refused a work visa to enter the US due to her recent/ongoing/perpetual (pick one) legal problems arising from her rampant, and very public, drug and alcohol abuse. The latest legal snafu resulted from assault charges brought by a woman that Amy punched in the face last summer - after the woman had her picture taken with the chanteuse. Apparently Amy had become 'alarmed' by the flashbulbs. Okay. That's like going to a service station and being 'alarmed' by the presence of gas pumps.
This gig at Coachella would have seen Amy play to her largest US audience ever and she's apparently upset about not going and so she should be. She had 'arrived' and then promptly took up with that walking syringe Blake Fielder-Civil and it all went to hell in a spoon...
M.I.A (Maya Arulpragasam) on the other hand is vibrant, shiny, intelligent and the brand-new mommy of baby Ikhyd. You'll notice she also uses soap and water, something Winehouse seems to have a hit and miss relationship with:
(Exhibit A: Looking for love, or possibly soap, in all the wrong places)
(Exhibit B: M.I.A - S.O.A.P.)
M.I.A can bring it and after seeing her, people will be saying "Amy who...? Oh right, that extremely talented chick who threw it all away."
Here's a link to M.I.A.s 'Paper Planes' video.
"Alarmed by the flashbulbs."
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S funny. Also, I wonder if she could have managed to put on a decent performance if the US had granted her entry. Seems like ages since she's been able to finish a set without some drug-induced mishap. That being said, she does get points for her elegant courtroom attire.
Great site, Baho!
You mean the way she demonstrates respect for the judiciary by having her boobs exploding out of her blouse/dress or whatever schmatta she's got on?
ReplyDeleteShe does have great court shoes though...
I'd go see Winehouse, in any condition, before I'd go see M.I.A.
ReplyDeleteShe sucks live?
