Queen of the Brits Amy Winehouse hits Brum for what she hopes will be a far better experience than the last Birmingham gig at which she lost her voice. Luckily this time around the performance is complete with voice intact and without any major hitches.
Playing to a much bigger audience, it’s a completely different and strangely subdued Amy Winehouse that performs tonight. She lets her unmistakeable singing voice do all the talking and if there were any red tops hoping for another Amy scandal they’d be bitterly disappointed.
You know you have a genuine classic when people start filming the song with their camera phones, and sure enough that moment was when Ms Winehouse sang her hit single, Rehab. The surprise cover of the Zutons’ tune Valerie was also met with an ecstatic response.
