Amy Winehouse at Nelson Mandela's 90th Birthday Concert

I have been searching for this performance, and I found it!

Amy Winehouse performed at Nelson Mandela's birthday concert today, and surprisingly, wasn't a disaster.

She performed "Rehab" and "Valerie" despite revelations that she was suffering from the early stages of emphysema last weekend.

When she performed "Rehab", she looked and sounded bored (I'm sure a part of her regrets making that song now). She kind of didn't sing some of the words, but her voice was in pretty good shape. It wasn't as good as the Grammys, but it was MUCH better than Rock In Rio.

Things changed when she sang "Valerie". She looked more lively and she she put far more energy into the song than she did the last. Dare I say it, it was actually a really good performance. It definitely exceeded my expectations (although it should be said there were very low).

I hope this performance signals a changing in tides for Amy. I won't call it a comeback, but it definitely showed she still had something.
