When I read that Amy Winehouse actually showed up to the MTV Europe Awards, I was pretty surprised. She actually got on stage and sang. She didn’t cancel at the last minute like she has with about 3 out of 4 of her concerts recently. Several reviews called her performance “uninspired” but that’s pretty charitable. I’d call it a whole lot of something crap. She either forgot the words to her song or was slurring and/or drunk. It’s not uninspired, it’s unprofessional. Amy performed “Back to Black” and when you listen to the video, you can discern a single word she said. I listed to the song on Amazon to make sure that’s not how it’s supposed to sound. Several sites posting this clip are joking that she had a seizure right before the show, and I’m going to have to agree.

Amy Winehouse stumbled through her performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards on Thursday (November 1) shortly after giving a very brief acceptance speech when she won the Artists’ Choice honor. The singer — who was announced as a last-minute addition to the show when she canceled her planned performance at the mtvU Woodie Awards on November 8 — gave a brief “thanks” when she accepted the award, and later appeared to have difficulty remembering the words to her own song and danced unsteadily as she performed.

That’s putting it mildly. I’ve counted 14 words that I could make out. How many can you find?
