A new danger at the Pyramid?

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.

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?

She'd have to be on the Other Stage or the Pyramid Stage, Jazz World is too small for her, due to those who want to watch the car crash happen more than her fans.

    • Yep - should have been the Stones.
    • Yeah I do agree on the 2 hour thing. But if they were subbed by Biffy/WA only doing 75 mins or so would be doable.   Only reason I suggested them was because we know they're back doing shows here next year. 
    • Its probably the culmination of issues that have been simmering under the surface for a while. Spain ran a regularisation program recently that allows undocumented individuals to obtain temporary legal status and then a route to EU citizenship. 1.2 million applied. At the same time Montenegro is having to close its citizenship via investment program as part of EU ascension talks.    Countries are obviously asking, why are we having to reject investors whilst others can wave anyone in?
    • I'm not sure, they aren't giving any headliner in that format 2hours and Foos would have at least 2. I wouldn't say Reading is likely for them next year either. If they are as said going big on a tour with stadiums and festivals then the UK is once place they can definitely do stadiums and that would rule them out. And that's even if they come back for a second UK stint as I fully expect them in Europe from very early. That could be seen as hyperthetical but there are is some places I cannot see them not doing from history.
