There are some rare occassions when someone asks an intelligent question that by no means benefits anyone.  Today poses just one of those questions.  What people often ask of Amy Winehouse is how she’s making gigs when it seems like everytime she gets one, she’s always messing up.  Well, it seems like the good people over at E! Online offers us some answers:

“When her shows are good,” my source tells me, “which they rarely are, but they exist—I know, I saw her at the Troubadour a couple years ago—they are amazing.”

“She has a rip-roaring voice and great stage presence, a great backing band, and the music sounds amazing live,” my source confirms. “Say what you will: She is talented. Like, crazy talented. And ultimately people want to believe in her.”

“Having her there builds a trainwreck-style buzz around a show,” my source explains. “Especially a festival, where no one gets their money back if one artist doesn’t show up or bombs. Ten great performances and one s–t disaster performance from her garners press.”

Well it’s true what they say, everyone likes to watch a good car chase, and especially a car crash.  I suppose a bonus in this case would it being the biggest one in history, and having it on home video to constantly rewind, fast forward and play to your hearts content.

For those wondering what has this extended vacation in St. Lucia done for Amy Winehouse, here’s your answer: absolutely nothing.  Winehorse’s first concert for this year was a complete bust: her traditional drinking binge was set in full motion, a hysterical breakdown on stage, and it was all mixed in with a disgruntled, booing audience.

Amy – who is currently staying on the Caribbean island as she attempts to overcome her problems with drink and drugs and write new material – started to sob before collapsing on stage amid the jeers.

One unhappy fan said: “Amy could barely stand up, she didn’t know the words to her songs. It’s a disgrace. She was so drunk she didn’t know where she was. She’s a lost cause.”

One insider told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Amy was drinking heavily before the concert, she was really nervous about performing after so long.

“She is still very upset about Blake and was over-emotional. She is really disappointed that fans were booing her off stage.”

As I’d like to say, “You can bring a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink it if they find out it’s not vodka.”

Amy Winehouse made an emergency trip to the hospital after a fainting spell in St. Lucia over the weekend, and it turns out that it was just from lack of water.

Grammy-winning British singer Amy Winehouse was taken to hospital during her prolonged holiday in St Lucia after fainting, her spokesman said Saturday.

The 25-year-old ” Back to Black” and “Rehab” songstress was kept in for a night for observation after tests showed she was dehydrated.

Her British-based publicist Chris Goodman said: “She fainted at home (in St Lucia) and they took her in for observation, mainly to do with her medication to check everything was OK. They told her that she was dehydrated and needed to drink more water.”

Winehouse had been “running around” with a group of children before she passed out, he said.

While the news reports that she’ll be okay, it is still currently unknown if those children still intend to be her drug mules.

It’s hard to tell from this picture of Amy Winehouse out and about in public if she’s grabbing her crotch simply for a good picture or she’s managed to get a couple of diseases here and there that’s actually itchy.  Aside from that, you have to admit as dirty and beaten down she looks, she doesn’t have a faint shine of healthiness about her smile and lack of visable ribcage
