This is what sold me. Tone, licks, voice. Flawless.

I like her voice, but she looks like something the cat dragged in.

Cheers, Miguel! It really was a special evening - I was very lucky to witness it.

Hopefully, something will 'emerge' soon.

Dewrede said:

Cheers! It was.

My powers of expression fail me after occasions like Saturday night. It really was a mind blowing evening - magical!

My personal fam-out moment was when he played this brain-splitting guitar solo and I was beaming with mirth. Prince looked at me and smiled back. It was just the most bizarre thing, but it made my night!

I really, really hope both the main show AND the Aftershow are released in some form one day. He gave us a fantastic send-off.

it's a safe bet that if an artist's name can be mentioned on an org thread and constantly/reliably start a heated debate complete with flame snips, i probably like the artist in question.

Yeah, it's a bit near the mark, especially having seen a remark of his on another post about "not even the drunk Irish" acting like members of the audience last Friday.

I wish I had seen this... I completely understand Prince's obsession with Winehouse and her song "Love is a Losing Game", it's such a dramatic melody/chords/bass line. It sounds like a James bond song done in an understated way. And she wrote it.

People just don't know. Her recent reappearance at an awards show where she performed this song almost shyly and incredibly was exactly like the scene in Purple Rain where he sings Purple Rain... but with Winehouse and the shit she is going through... it is real. I completely understand why she is a big thing, even for Prince. He said "Take care of her, she is special" to his last aftershow audience in London.

how very punk.

ufoclub said:

I agree with all of that. 'Love is a Losing Game' is definitely leaning on John Barry (composer of most of the James Bond theme tunes until Living Daylights). The arrangement on her album never really allows the track to soar, which it does on the NPG version, which makes it sound even more like John Barry. Along with Lisa Stansfield's All the Right Places (which actually is a John Barry number), it's a great Bond theme in the grand tradition that never was.

The performance with Prince at the aftershow was the highlight of the entire 21 nights for me. Stunning stuff.

Jeff was drunk when he drowned.

To all the Amy Winehouse haters... Have you listened to her sing?! Or do you all diss her because of her demons?
On the same premise... Do y'all hate:
Charlie Parker
Billie Holiday
Jimi Hendrix
John Coltrane
I don't really need to go on do I?
The list is endless... and people you love to listen to / watch / read no doubt.
You shouldn't blieve all you read in the rags.

I was there on friday night and she was great. Also saw her at Glastonbury and she blew the place apart... (Although I have to admitt she was a little tipsy!)

This girl has a problem... Do you really think she wants to be cutting herself and blocking shit out with drink and drugs?
It's a disease... She is ill. I for one hopes she beats her demons and comes out the other side.
She is an amazing talent and needs our (UK) support.

I don't think that Prince would have had her on stage if she was a mess on the night would he?

Plus... I kinda have a little thing for her... But that's something different!

She's overrated and has all the vocal tone of a braying sheep. You're obviously buying into the "tortured soul" bullshit. It's a shame that Prince is too.

Heiress said:

I don't care how talented or angry you are, you do not spit on your audience...I'd spit back!!

PaisleyPark5083 said:

that's exactly what the punks used to do!

Heiress said:

then color me punk!!

Horntooter said:

heh, had a thing for her back in '03. Not sure about now though... not enough bounce for me - The exception to the rule!

Horntooter said:

Im pretty sure that myth was debunked.

anyways...TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN is clearly the best song on her album. dont know why Prince loves Love is losing game so much

Jeff had a huge bald spot by the time he died too.

mplsmike said:

Why is Prince always dressed like it's Prom....or an ass show off contest. We can all try to forget the Gett Off remix video in that horrible swimsuit. Prince is always dressed tot he 9's....there is NEVER down time for him. Many people think that is strange as well.

Horntooter said:

i quite agree i was actually having this lecture with some1 the other day!
glad u wrote about tortured souls and art.... the sooner people realise there is a co-relation the better.!

SquirrelMeat said:

That is so wonderful to hear. I really believe she was not going to disappoint Prince. Prince knew exactly what he was doing when he allowed her to gleam.

Obsidian said:

U're so right. I feel that is exactly why Prince allowed her to perform.

Wish I could seen this show.
