The crowd noise was canned - MTV have a record of using taped "reaction" to make their programmes seem more lively; they even did it with Unplugged, creating an ironic situation where the music was acoustic, but the audience weren't.<BR/><BR/>I suspect the booing, at the very least, might have been an invention of the 3AM Girls, but... no, the slightly embarrassed mumbling along with the chorus of audience members catching sight of themselves on the big screen had the same sort of awkwardness exhibited by people dragged on stage by a second-rate hypnotists at second-string holiday camps.<BR/><BR/>To be fair to Winehouse, I don't think she really should have booked for the event in the first place - if anyone deserves to be pushed into a hedge, it was the manager who agreed to her turning up in the first place.Simon Hayes Budgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084524317888577404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-67867238179190025922007-06-05T20:43:00.000+00:002007-06-05T20:43:00.000+00:00For months now, I've been trying to remember what ...For months now, I've been trying to remember what Amy Winehouse's dancing reminds me of.

I imaging it won't be on YouTube much longer, as Viacom has that little difficulty with Google, but at the moment, you can watch the performance here:<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szjGRpaCVPU<BR/><BR/>Winehouse looks bored throughout; I'm not quite sure how you could describe the "reaction of the crowd" as "amazing" since most of the time they're in the dark, the few reaction shots show polite smiles, normally a beat or two behind the camera cutting to them (i.e. they're smiling because they're seeing themselves on the big screen and think they should be enjoying themselves) and whatever the crowd reaction was at the end, it was swamped with canned applause over the top - but, clearly, Amy wasn't acknowledging a standing ovation.<BR/><BR/>The post, by the way, is a commentary on something in today's UK tabloids, and I can assure you that the story really does appear in today's Daily Mirror. I think what you mean is that that story is false, which there always is a possibility of - as we say time after time, the UK tabs gossip columnists are incredibly unreliable.Simon Hayes Budgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084524317888577404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-81058748708313636972007-06-05T14:18:00.000+00:002007-06-05T14:18:00.000+00:00Ok so when i read this post i said to myself:"mayb...Ok so when i read this post i said to myself:"maybe you watched a different MTV movie awards" so i went to mtv.com and checked Winehouse's performance and the reaction of the crowd...WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?The reaction of the crowd was AMAZING!So i'm guessing/asking the other part of the post is false as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
