Boy George: 'Winehouse is wasting her talent' | 02 octobre 2008

BOY GEORGE has urged Amy Winehouse to ditch her "car crash" lifestyle and fulfil her true potential.

The former Culture Club singer - who has battled his own drug demons - says the troubled star is wasting her talent.

George, in an exclusive interview to be screened on Living tonight, added: "We think she's amazing and she touches us when she sings and then she's this car crash.

"The last time I saw Amy Winehouse do anything special was at the Mercury Music Awards, she is amazing but I haven't seen her do anything like it since and I would love to.

"At the moment she is only working with 10% of what she has and I would like to see how lethal she is when she is working with everything.

She is one of the greatest British singers of all time ... she is really is a cut above the rest but until she realizes that there is nothing anyone can do about it.

"I look at Amy and I think, you got so much talent and you're wasting it."

George said taking drugs had, for him, been like falling in love for the first time.

"You think 'oh my God, it is going to be like this forever' and it isn't. You think you are having fun, you think you are confident and eloquent.

But actually, when you step back from it, you realize there is nothing cool about working with half your brain and half your vocabulary, half your personality."

The interview - in which George also discusses his sexuality, run-ins with the law and tempestuous relationship with former Culture Club member Jon Moss - will be shown at 10pm.

at Leicester Square Theatre

20,21,22,23,27,28,29,30 December 2009.

Boy George needs little introduction…he shot to international stardom in the 80’s as the front man of one of the UK’s biggest exports Culture Club and has remained one of the world’s most recognisable iconic figures…however George himself says…’I am sometimes recognised for all the wrong reasons’. In advance of his 2010 European Tour George will perform a set of exclusive intimate shows at Leicester Square Theatre…stripped down, acoustic, unplugged whatever cliché you want to call it this set of exclusive concerts lies bare George as an artist, singer, lyricist and musician – this is simply ‘The Man and his Music’… performing his biggest hits from Culture Club, his solo career, new writing and covers from his own music heroes. DON’T MISS ONE OF THE BEST SOUL VOICES AND MOST COLOURFUL PERSONALITIES BRITIAN AS EVER PRODUCED!
£35.00-£45.00
