Winehouse MIA at Coachella
Amy Winehouse couldn’t make it to California for the Coachella music festival this last weekend. So the organizers asked the rapper M.I.A. to come in her place. It seemed like a win-win situation for them and for her. She’d performed successfully in the previous Coachellas, at the smaller tents. This time, however, she was on the main stage and was unable to do the show quite the way she wanted. She usually has people dancing right up near or on the stage. The security guards stopped most people from coming up on the stage at the main stage. She was just not as exciting as usual and exclaimed that she wanted to be “in the sweat” next time she’s in the tent like that. She clearly doesn’t do well with a lot of structure and people telling her what to do in her concerts. At least not when it messes up her vision of what it’s supposed to be.
