Amy Winehouse MTV Europe

[Sarah]

I just watched the whole episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks and found Ms. Winehouse to be funny, quick-witted, and rather sweet.  But she's better off singing sober, I think.  She's no Shane MacGowan.

Isn't this the pop star that "hasn't got a willy" from that one episode of Father Ted?

Sorry Chris L thats Eoin McLove

I think you'll agree one could easily confuse the two though.

I had no idea this show existed and was surprised to learn it's been on the air for so long.  I was thinking for better or for worse there's no way a music panel show of that sort would succeed in America, and sure enough Wikipedia says a VH1 version starring Marc Maron (exactly who I thought of) only lasted a month.

Par for the course.

can you translate some of that 2nd clip into American English for me?

Actually that was only the second coolest clip from that show. Jason find the clip of that douche he stomped off the stage, or even the wannabe punk rocker.

I like Lars Ulrich's wry appearance at the :18 second mark.

I like my little German friend Lars.

I agree, Sarah. I particularly liked the part where Amy hugged the sad train conductor.

[Sarah]

Yeah.  That could have annoyed me, too, but it seemed like she was actually being sincere.  I think it's the way she worked to avoid kissing him on the lips that convinced me.  Somehow, that added credibility to the gesture.

Anyways, pertaining to the Amy Winehouse discussion, here's another clip:

An innocent nose-wiping? Or something more illicit?

I'll go with the former, but I'm outnumbered on this one.

[Sarah]

It could be quite innocent; after all, one's nose does run quite freely when one's in the habit of putting irritating things up it.
