Amy Winehouse Disses Bono
- Posted on Jan 18th 2007 1:14PM by Mike Spinella
Amy Winehouse isn't one for subtlety. When the No. 1 U.K. songstress made her U.S. debut this week on the Interface (followed by two sold-out shows at NYC's Joe's Pub), Winehouse did what she does best: spoke her mind. Her target this time? Bono.

Winehouse recounted a meeting with the newly knighted singer and labelmate at a recent awards ceremony, where she refused to stand -- or allow her father to stand -- during an ovation for U2. The firecracker singer mumbled "shut up" throughout Bono's acceptance speech, and when he later introduced himself, saying it was "lovely to meet you," all Winehouse could muster was a cool kiss-off of "Thank you for funding my albums. Bye." To hear the full interview, check out the Interface tomorrow, or NOW and subscribe to the podcast feed.

I cant believe that there are people who would put down such a good man! I so wonder what THEY have done to to try to make this world a better place. Oh, and what has Amy Winehouse done to try to make this world a better place! I guess they can say what they want on their beliefs of why Bono has contributed so much....but it sounds like that is just their opinion maybe they have no basis for it. Maybe they cant comprehend the fact that people can be good because they havent experienced it for theirselves in their life. Well I guess it is too late for Amy, I hope she is in a better place.

you probably also think that good writing is about using big words and playing guitar well is about playing fast and using as many notes as you can.
unfortunately he is successful, but we all know that is no substitute for talent or has any relation to it.
After all, aids is a worldwide phenomenon but nobody wants that do they. Considering that most of the posts here are from Americans and 67 % of Americans interviewed think that Barrack Obama is a terrorist then I choose only to laugh at you until you destroy the world with your ignorance and I am silenced.
Yeah Amy! You're so right. Let's stop with Bono's hypocrasy

Wankerhouse is fighting with herself - frustrated that she can't open her mouth without spewing chunks...a solid jet of rickstasy puke...literally and figuratively.
...the hangovers she must have...holy crap, rickstasy is built to amplify a headache and cause projectile vomit spasms.
Wake up little wankerhouse, you're brusing and abusing your own talent. If you're going to rip off Shirley Bassey, why not do it with class?
Believe me, your highly forgettable, shallow lyrics evaporate faster than everclear and koolaid.
Will your "catchy" ditty be around as long as any U2 song? No, No Noooooooo.
The fuckery is in YOU.
...sheesh, I can't believe how phucked up the Winehouse "supporters" are. You get what you deserve.
Bono did NOTHING to this Shirley Bassey derivative kunt. Who cares whether Bono and/or U2 are great or not? How would she like it if ALL artists barked like her when she's performing, or talking, or puking?
Amy Wankerhouse is a re-rehash-trash copy of the great Shirley Bassey - with ridiculous juvanile black smudges for eye makeup - and weak-ass mindless muzak pap-smear lyrics that could only come from a lewd cockney drunken twaht.
She's a gutless, thankless shell - with no redeeming value except as a puke fountain - and 23rd place in the liver olympics.
She'll be dead - career-wise - or literally - in a matter of 1 or 2 years.
She needs to rehab her soul.
Well I am not a big fan of Amy Winehouse at ALL but I must say she has the right idea of Bono. He is simply self-promoting by giving all this shit away. Hes really not all that great and his music is complete shit. Just because he is a 'legend' doesn't mean hes all that great.

August 23 2007 at 3:01 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyShe has a nice tone to her voice, but hey her range is limited and i have heard better from undiscovered talents. I saw Amy when she first started out. She was a chubby, insecure middle class girl who now claims to be effed, by what? Going to nice private schools?
Geta grip. You will go down with all this silly overexposure....
Well, well, slaves of the system. >_>
U2 songs sound the same? There is a huge difference between Lemon and Shadow and Tall Trees, don't you think? Don't judge if you don't know. Nr. 66 is wrong. U2 IS soul! Have you ever listened properly? I even read someone thought Ireland is a third world country! LOL
Amy is just seeking some attention, well it worked! I doubt Bono gives a shit, he has been through worse I guess.
She's young, she rocks ,she says what she feels- that's rock and roll. Remember rock and roll. Bono, god love him for all his work, is a corporate rocker. It's easy to save the world from your mansion. What's it cost you?
