When Amy Winehouse takes the stage, you know you’re in for a top-notch show. Not only is her voice a treasure, but she presents herself with such poise and elegance. The Sun has the details of Amy’s exquisite performance at the MOBO’s:

She staggered up the stage steps looking the worse for wear as she went to collect her gong at the O2 arena. Then she took the microphone and appeared to spit before saying a brief thank-you. She followed that with a shoddy rendition of “Tears Dry On Their Own” – forgetting half the words. During the performance Amy twitched, pulled at her black-and-white dress and gripped the mic stand as she swayed precariously.

Amy even presents herself as a lady before taking the stage:

A source said: “In her dressing room she was really on edge, then flipped. She was screaming and chucking anything she could get her hands on at the people around her. She wasn’t in a good way.”

I’m faced with a conundrum here. Who would be more justified making the following statement: Amy Winehouse saying, “Hey, at least I’m not Britney Spears.” Or Britney Spears saying “Hey, at least I’m not Amy Winehouse.” I’m making a huge assumption that one is aware of the other. I’m also assuming that Britney doesn’t have a Quarter Pounder in her mouth, and Amy hasn’t inhaled a bathtub full of gin and sleeping pills. Yeah, I know, bold assumptions. But I’m a bold man who asks bold questions – boldly.

UPDATE: Check out a video of her performance after the jump. It’s not as disastrous as the article makes it out to be, but there’s definitely a lot of mumbling and shuffling going on.
