excerpt from bbc.co.uk…..
“It also takes something special to eclipse Amy Winehouse these days, but he (Paul McCartney) managed that too. Making up for lost time after cancelled gigs and a spell in rehab, Winehouse appeared to be back on form and performed two songs.
In her first, singing Valerie with Mark Ronson, it took her a few bars, shimmies and tousles of hair to hit her stride.
In her second, Love Is A Losing Game, she hitched up her skirt, looked longingly into the camera and gently gyrated in front of the microphone stand - delivering a personal show for her jailed husband.
Her request at the end to “make some noise for my husband, my Blake”, though, fell largely on deaf ears.
But despite the diversion of her personal problems, Winehouse provided a reminder of her true talent.
The jazzy, unpredictable vocal journeys, the power and pain in her voice, the air of effortless artistry and enigma made all the night’s other singers seem quite plain by comparison.”
