So the London loudmouth arrives in Brummie land complete with her entertainingly huge gob. No sooner than she arrives on stage does she demand red lipstick and hurl insults. “You have to tell me if my t*ts are hanging out,” she warns. “I’m serious!”
So things are definitely off to a flying start.
There was an intimate and laid back vibe that suited the singer’s confessional croonings. Unfortunately as the night wore on, Amy’s voice started to strain due a cold and she struggled. But this is Amy Winehouse for Chrissakes! She will bloody well soldier on even if her deathbed’s all made up and waiting for her and naturally she defied orders to rest her voice and came back on stage for a two song encore of Pumps and the soulful Love Is A Loosing Game from her current album Back To Black.
