Concert: Amy Winehouse @Paradiso, Amsterdam 2007
General Info
Artist: Amy Winehouse
Location: Paradiso, Amsterdam
When: 09 February 2007
Who?
Well, read about this crazy lady here and I’ve reviewed her albums..
I’ve been yapping about this dame for quite a while, so now that I finally got a chance to see her perform, I took it with both hands and feet!
The Show
The thing started at 01:00 and let’s be honest, I’m not used to this anymore 
But she did start on time, and she didn’t seem to be totally wasted, so what could go wrong? Well…
It’s just one little thing: she really doesn’t connect with her audience. Don’t get me wrong: she appreciates the applause and geniunely likes standing there on stage, but… there’s not a lot happening. The best bits were when she interacted with one of the backing singers (wow..)
Can she sing? Can she sing live? You bet your saltined @$$!! This dame does her songs seemingly effortlessly. If the frigging sounds system broke down, people’d still be able to hear her sing on the other side of the Channel.
Conclusion
I didn’t expect it to be a long show (cover price was low), but I still was left wanting more. She did most of the tracks of her current album and some from her 1st album, Frank. She definitely is a great singer and writer. Just wish she had more to convey to her public, it’s not that she’s not interested, it just doesn’t connect.
If she survives to make two more albums, I’ll gladly stand in line to see her perform again, hoping that Life and the Business has given her more strength to become a great live performer.

[...] Ugh.. I’m totally wrecked by a cold I’ve been enjoying the last coupla days. Today I kinda feel good enough to go outside, to Paradiso to see lil’ Miss Amy Winehouse! Didn’t expect to be fit enough to go and the damned weather’s not the greatest to be driving in at night, but hey, it’s Amy.. UPDATE: here’s my review.. [...]

Hi! Heard a new (?) song from Amy yesterday morning on Arrow. It’s called “Close to the Front”….

[...] business at the moment, failed to show up and canceled. I guess I was lucky to get a chance to see her perform at Paradiso, because this is the second time the girl’s canceled a show in Holland this year. As I said [...]
