Worst. Concert. Evah.

I imagine one has to work prodigiously to become the train wreck that is Amy Winehouse. The Guardian called her gig in Belgrade "the worst concert ever to take place in the city. Even Serbian defence minister Dragan Sutanovac put the boot in, calling it 'a huge shame and a disappointment'." Among other odd antics, Winehouse - clearly as high as a proverbial kite - suddenly removed her shoes on stage (for no apparent reason), then stopped singing halfway through "Just Friends" to introduce her horrified band members. The trouble was she couldn't remember their names. At that point, her adoring fans (who paid big bucks to come) began booing and heading for the exits. Looking for a silver lining, Tom Ricks sardonically noted: "On the other hand, it is a good sign that the Balkans are so peaceful that the Serb defense minister has time to complain about an Amy Winehouse concert. Maybe we should send her on a tour of Syria, Iran, and Pakistan." Bada-boom. This poor lassie needs to spend some lengthy quality time in rehab -- soonest.
