Amy Winehouse Foundation Announces Benefit Concert

[Edited 1/23/12 8:25am]

[Edited 1/23/12 8:27am]

I guess the chances to see Prince support the live concert in memory of Amy Winehouse are very low...

it could be wishful thinking from me, only....

My reason to write this info:

To see Prince and Amy Winehouse sharing the same stage in London in 2007 was a very exciting moment. "Love Is A Losing Game" with Amy on vocals and Prince on guitar... pure magic...

This thread is kind of a message to Prince, but is he reading this... ?

They should ask Andy Allo that would be cool.

Very dry wit you have.

That would be cool if he did

There used to be an off license up the road from me called The Winehouse and it closed about a month after she popped her knackers, i'm not joking. It's now one of those polski sklep places where only Polish people are allowed.

I appreciate that you appreciate my comment as I read it again, it could be a joke....but I'm really not joking so much. It would be a good opportunity for Andy Allo to be exposed to the British market.

Who says we want to be exposed to her?

Shouldn't that event be about the charity and the memory of amy Winehouse and not about exposing an unknown artist to a market ?

The article implies the "event" is a fund raiser. The charity's mission is to support children with health/addiction issues, everyone can suppport that.

Why not invite Allo to perform? Allo's rendition of love is a losing game I think would be acceptable. If Allo thought enough about Amy to sing a tribute, why not?

In the process if Allo gains some exposure, why have issues with that? I'm not an Allo groupie, believe me but I thought she pulled off the LIALG song very well.

Mitch Winehouse despite being Amy's father comes across as one of those freeloaders who has done well out of her death. He was on breakfast telly saying something inane along the lines of 'Amy loved children, so I thought 'The Amy Winehouse Foundation' for children, cos she loved children'.

I hate these pointless charities which are set up in the wake of someone's death, in their name as if that was their dying wish. I think Mitch will continue to live well off her memory, I don't believe that charity will amount to much more than his way of staying in the press.

Taken from his own website:

“Well of course I wouldn’t be in this position without Amy,” he laughs indulgently, as if anyone could think differently or even see that fact as a negative, “but now the opportunity is there, why not take it? Who wouldn’t want to make an album?”

uh, I didn't want to be the one....but, yeah when you get right down to it, I have to agree on both points; its no different than all the MJ stuff they should let these people rest, at least for a while!

I never liked Amy that much, but I admit she is a very good singer. I highly doubt Andy Allo is talented enough to be able to cope with a concert of this magnitude. She is not that good, sorry. ... Her voice is too week to be able to handle Amy Winehouse songs.

He hasn't had a history of being supportive of people with addictions. Publicly at least.

Past history indicates he's not into public charitable events like these, and he'd probably agree w/ the previous two posters about it being an opportunistic move by her father.

But he paid for his sister's rehab at a very exclusive rehab center, so I think he's sensitive to the issue of addiction. When he performed w/ Amy I think he told the audience to take care of her because she's a treasure or something (correct me if I'm wrong).

Yet another "save the children" organization that probably isn't about saving any children.

The Revolution is having a concert to benefit the American Heart Association (of the top of my head). I'd be really disappointed if he attended (although I doubt he will) a benefit for Amy (RIP), and didn't show up for BobbyZ. I realize Bobby didn't die, and I respect and value your opinion; I just wanted to put in my

Why do people always have to start there own foundation? Great if you want to raise money, but raise it and give it to an already well known foundation.

You're right - more of the donated money could go directly to serving its cause if simply given to a reputable, already established foundation.

But if you start your own foundation, you can be its president and therefore get paid by it - get it? You can create an organization where you can have lifetime employment/income. This is why people are skeptical of Amy's father.
