Train Wrecks
Winehouse in Surprise Appearance in London

Click to return to TMZ.comDespite canceling her North American tour, Britwreck Amy Winehouse isn't giving up performing -- she unexpectedly popped up at the Mercury Music awards in London last night.

Winehouse, who had been "holidaying" with her hubby in St. Lucia instead of going to rehab, performed an acoustic version of "Love Is a Losing Game" before losing out on the top prize to the Klaxons -- and it was amazing.

She should've gotten a prize just for showing up.

48. Damn it, she's amazing! As damaged as she is in her personal life, she is quite the artist.

An original among hundred's of McStars out there.

Stick around Amy. If you kick the drugs, your talent will not go away. It will only get better with age.

50. Thank you for pointing out that her performance was "amazing." The people in this forum who have obviously never heard either of her amazing 2 albums and have nothing to say but to put down her looks or personal problems -- they are losers. Amy is hugely talented, and a good person, not a loser - I wish her the best.

51. This girl has so much talent and potential that it's just sad to see it go to waste. I hope she gets better cause there's much more to live for than drugs. Oh, I hope she gets rid of her loser husband too. At least in this picture she looks a bit better than others I've seen on TMZ. Yeah I am happy that she had the courage to preform, but she still needs to go to a real rahab facility. What's the point of having a great voice if you're going to ruin it with heroin?? God bless you Amy!

52. We are commenting on this video alone, folks, not her entire life! Good Lord, she sounded really good so ya'll can go kiss her scrawny butt ya pessimistic, critical whiners. Give credit where it's due. She's looking better and singing well here.

53. CelebritiesRstupid...are you a moron, or just play one on TMZ? Are you really so pathetic in reading comprehension that you con't understand TMZ's own dig at her with the last line of the story?

Likely the only credit amy's getting these days is with her dealer. Couple more canceled tours and she won't even have that!

54. All the windehouse suckup fans who post their nice sweet support comments in hope that Amy like reads TMZ posts and will like see their awesome comment and like call and want to like totally hangout....so glad most of us do not live in your world!

She is a heroin addict in denial, hanging out with a heroin addict in denial....beating each other bloody. Even their parents are screaming to the press for fans not to adore them and buy their music!

Oh, but I guess since she got it together enough to clean up and sing a song between highs, then we should all bow down to the all mighty heroin addict with the microphone in front of the camera. Yeah, right...fortunately the sane know better. You are obviously as pathetic as winehouse and her hubby! Tweakers!

55. I cannot believe all of the heartless comments. In case you didn't know drug addiction is a disease, and yet most of the comments sound as if a heroin addict can simply stop today and be fine tomorrow, and that simply is not the case, it usually takes a very long time to quit doing heroin and it usually involves many relapses.

Posted at 7:44PM on Sep 5th 2007 by Have a little sympathy

56. Hey, Chad. Dare you to be in the same room with Amy and try to take away her drugs and hooker friend. Didn't look like she took kindly to it last time. My money is on Amy to take you out in under a minute.

Actually, I've heard both her albums. She has marginal talent, which is likely one of the reasons she went off the deep end with heroin.

So I guess if being a sane, productive, drug free member of society is being a loser...count me in!!!

Posted at 7:44PM on Sep 5th 2007 by Guess being a loser is where its at

57. Have a little sympathy......maybe its because amy, like so many celebrity addicts wreaking havoc on society, thinks rehab is a two week stay on the beach? The "I'm a celeb and therefore above all things" in words and deeds wears incredibly thin on the public.

Posted at 7:54PM on Sep 5th 2007 by Not very likely

58. Ha! This is what happens when you raise a generation that gets trophies just for showing up to athletic or other activities and having their shoes on the right feet. We not only applaud and reward the tiniest of things -- like acting normal -- but the dregs of society expect to be acknowledged for everything. If they don't get it, then it's society's fault for their behavior. It isn't working now...has never worked....won't work in the future either.

Bringing it back to Amy Winehouse, I believe that her parents have got it right. She's destroying herself and those around her. So until she acknowledges that she needs help, stop giving her the praise and money (through music sales) that allows her to think everything is going to be fine.

And it's perfectly ok for others to judge a person's actions. It is not the same as judging their eternal soul. Why do you think the best rehab personnel are sometimes former abusers themselves? They fully understand this concept and the effectiveness of not letting an abuser delude themselves or others into thinking there is no problem.

59. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE MS. WINEHOUSE WHY DO YOU READ THE STORIES ABOUT HER? TO WHO EVER POSTED THE COMMENT COMPARING HER TO HOLLYWOOD SKANKS LIKE BRIT AND LINDSAY SHE HAS MORE TALENT IN HER DIRTY LITTLE TOE THEN THEY HAVE IN THEIR WHOLE BODY. QUIT HATING ON HER AND STOP POSTING THE TOXINS THAT ARE INVADING MY SCREEN. DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THAT SAYING "DO ONTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO ONTO YOU" GET BETTER AMY AND SHOW ALL THE HATE MONGERS YOU RULE

60. She reminds me of a cross between Nina Simone and some 60's do-wop girl band.
She's amazing, let's hope she appreciates what she has and takes care of herself.
She needs to get rid of that TRAINWRECK husband. She was almost normal before he came into the picture.
Plus, I hear he's one of the biggest know "heroin" dealers for the British music scene.
I read it on laineygossip.com
