excellent, I like her a lot, she's great

Oh god, whatever will I do, there's nothing else to watch apart from the Pyramid stage    

[Lifeinsilverbus]

Lady Gaga is worse, but I don't want Amy either!

I hope her new album will finish next Dec, so no chance to be in Glasto...

[tazzyb]

It could happen I saw footage of ME saying how fantastic he thought she was last year.

About Amy though, although not my sort of thing she'd be a good addition somewhere if she's sorted herself out. She was an embarrassment that never should have been booked last time.

Edited to include 'sorted herself out and has some new material' - there is surely a limit as to how long you can live off one popular album.

I was dragged to Lady Gaga and I'll be dragged to this

Well she is good entertainment value!

[Langdale Wolf]

I think Frankie Boyle sums Amy up perfectly:

"She looks like a campaign poster for neglected horses."

The problem I have with her is that 80% of the people who go to see her wouldn't give a shit what her music is like, and go to watch her hoping to see some sort of 'car crash' performance.  If she wasn't on the front pages looking like shit warmed up then spread over Ann Widdecombe, she'd get a lot, lot less people going to see her.  

She's undoubtedly talented, but I also think she's ill and needs help.

If you were organising any kind of event, would you risk booking her?  I bloody wouldn't!  She has to be the most unreliable screw-up in the country.

Amy has a great voice, and her first album, Frank, was very good. Back to Black was a little more pop orientated, but still had a couple of cracking songs on it. She might have difficulties with drugs, but so have lots of musicians. We've not stopped listening to Jimi Hendrix because he dOD'd on drugs, or the Happy Mondays when they bankrupted their record label and sold their studio's equipment due to drugs, so why this uproar about Amy Winehouse?

but very very true.   Anyway they took a risk with Amy Winehouse in 2008 no reason to think that they wouldn't do it again.

[geztival_09]

Woooooo! About time we had some new music from her. I love her music and would love to see her play Glasto  

[Joshuwarr]

Jazz world headliner again? Or maybe Other Stage headliner?

Thats my problem. We went to see her last time and admittedly it wasn't exactly a great performance but even if it had been, we couldn't hear her for all the people just chatting amongst themselves!

It moved one guy near to us to get on his mates shoulders and shout "Glastonbuuuuryyyy"" in that time honoured way that all the big acts love to do,.... "SHUT. THE. F**K. UP!"
