Amy Winehouse’s Fame Hinders Her DJ Battle Stance

July 11th, 2008 // 6 Comments

wenn1967860.jpgAmy Winehouse lost the DJ battle at her London local last night–perhaps because she only picked the songs and stood there, since her 30-minute set included some inarguable classics like Curtis Mayfield’s “Move On Up” and the Supremes’ “You Can’t Hurry Love.” But at least she won the war of, um, being famous: “[She] was just trying to do a bit of DJ-ing, but because it was quite a small venue and she’s so famous instead of dancing to the music like normal fans would, everyone was crowded around the DJ box trying to take pictures of her. So it was less like a gig and more like a photo shoot or a press conference,” an Evening Standard reporter told Reuters. This might explain her decision to depart the pub while cloaking herself with a lampshade and a box, as shown. [Reuters / Photo: WENN]

    Nope. Pretty sure drugs explain that. Pretty sure drugs just explain Amy Winehouse full stop at this point.

    Hey now!

    Amy clearly is not “cloaking herself with a lampshade” (or even possibly a full lamp!).

    That clearly is someone else attempting-and-failing to cloak Amy with a lampshade.

    That is all…

    Cloaking with a box you say? Maybe Winehouse is a Metal Gear Solid fan?

    i don’t know, that lampshade is pretty distracting…
