Amy Winehouse Invades Our Shores

British soul singer Amy Winehouse brought her intoxicating brand of "Bride of Frankenstein" beehive chic stateside on Tuesday.

While the toothy 23-year-old is already a sensation across the pond, Winehouse just made her first U.S. television appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" this week. "Late Show" tapes at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York, where another British import, the Beatles, made their landmark American debut in 1964.

Judging from her UK hit song "Rehab," Amy should have no trouble fitting into the Hollywood landscape!

33. Hmm, the beehive has to go. If I seen her I would threaten to shave it off with a cordless cutter. And yea, she totally has that UK look going for her with the hair and the missing tooth. You know your teeth say a lot about your health babe. It's true.

34. Yes, she is very scary looking - but the girl can sing.
Her album is one of the best I've heard - as distinctive as Lauryn Hil's debut. She's done this amazing thing - taken the feel of the 60's girl groups and Mowtown and fused it with Hip Hop beats.
So, give her a break - some record company exec probably told her she needed to lose weight to be famous. As for the hair - well - I just don't even know. It's rough.

35. I watched her "performance" on Letterman 'cause I'd heard a lot about her being a total drunk/junkie, and her beef with Lily Allen, but that supposedly she's a musical genious. So I wanted to see for myself what all the fuss was about. Well, I can't tell how much of a genious she is, since I couldn't understand a word she was singing. She looked and sounded like she was wasted out of her mind. She looked like a crackwhore trying to do karaoke. I'm sure the U.K. has much better and classier talent than this skank, although if she continues down the path she's on I doubt we'll hear much more from her.

36. She looks like hell, is one hell of a drunk, but damn, the bitch can sing.

37. She obviously hasn't had a chance to take a bath & "freshen up" in a good while. She appears quite skanky.

40. Don't judge her by her looks... listen to her album... she's got some soul....

41. Ewww, is she missing a tooth? Must be from all that drug use. Go to REHAB!

42. Bravo for the comments... you have just proven every possible stereotype the world has of Americans.

BTW, If you paid attention to the music, instead of acting like 5-yr olds, you might just realize that this girl is just about ready to blow up in the U.S. She makes most so-called Neo-soul artists look (sound) like wannabies.

She's the real thing.

43. Did any body see this? Yes I did listen to the music, and my ears almost bled. This girl SUCKS.

44. Aside from the hideous hair & face, ol' girl has a concave ass. It's totally regressing into her jeans. She looks like a freakin crackhead.

45. I happened to see this chic at G-A-Y when I was in London back in early January and she came out, did one number, left the stage abruptly. The band kept playing, the backup singers kept humming with a look a confusion on their faces. After about 5 minutes, this guy comes out and says Amy isn't feeling well and says she'll be out in 5 minutes, she's not feeling well. Everyone boo'ed. 15 minutes later, he comes back out and says she so sick, she's throwing up, and she can't finish her set. They had to cancel the show. Then everyone boo'ed, very loudly. Come to find out, she had been out drinking all day with Kelly Osbourne and was too drunk to perform.
