[10051993M]

Caralho! A Bandeira do Brasil ali; hahaha

[andy5gs]

Cool Vid ~man

[Dean66Essex]

WTF does amy winehouse do to make this video better?? The Specials are legends..

Great up thanks.

[NaYeYeeSka]

Amo a Amy y a The Speciials Pero Cabe Aclara q Amy nadamas estaba de adoOrnO ..!! hehehe aun Asii..!! Rifa xD

[djh93x]

Not bitching on a dead person but Amy Winehouse reminds me so much of Bellatrix LeStrange of Harry Potter

[punkrocksowhat]

Amy's part of a real Ghost Town now.

[1986rich]

damn, cracked out!

[devonrz1]

@KommandKool Grow up you twat.

[KommandKool]

@devonrz1 ok!

[VanillaFudgeable]

youtube - where idiots insult any artist post 1990 to try and get the attention they are denied by their terrible home lives

[JackUnionfy]

1:26 - 1:28 cheeky cocaine re-sniff there, can't be good for your health.... oh wait.

[MrJohnDoughnut2]

another successfully ruined song by a junkie.

[chekeska]

Don't do drugs, do the SKA!!!

[speedamod]

Apparently from the comments I'm old now at 41, and I should not listen to the music from my Era. The Specials are apparently over the hill and shouldn't enjoy music anymore. Poor Amy and her family, she had an addiction and sadly died. Please leave us 40 somethings to enjoy our lives, clothing and music. And give the parents and family of Amy a little respect and leave their daughter rest in peace, Merry Christmas, hope I get a few Soul, Blues and Ska CD's and a pair of tassle loafers ; )

[devonrz1]

@speedamod well said fella, and I hope you got your loafers! Happy New Year. Ps I think Terry Hall is a legend!

[speedamod]

@devonrz1 Alright, thanks for the message, I had the Christmas loafers from the good lady,Baracuta Bordo penny loafers, not tassles but fantastic. there's always my birthday see if I can drop some hints Happy new year to you.

[evilrazedbob]

i'd be more bothered by her lackluster performance if there was a chance of her mucking it up in the future

[ralphinio4]

@evilrazedbob , cool story bro!

[djjohhnyjetson]

Amy fits into this just to stand on stage me thinks... as she really played no part in performing the song!!

[chanctonbury63]

Incidentally. Where does Winehouse fit into all this?

[TheOrlandoTrustfull]

@chanctonbury63 you like the word "incidentally" don't you, let me guess, you live with your mum

[chanctonbury63]

Tired no riddim out of tune, sounds like they hadnt played it in 25 years. Incidently, who ate all the pies?????

[xRockTillYouDropx]

Guys, don't insult a fucking dead person.

Amy Winehouse was an amazing singer, and she loved jazz probably more than her own life, she loved the specials and I just bet she was nervous as fuck actually singing with them.

[xRockTillYouDropx]

She may have been drunk, but if you don't know, THAT IS the way people used to dance in the 80's. Yes Amy did sing a little bit, but that is because in the actual song their were no girl parts that she could sing. they obviously wanted her there, it was their choice and Amy looked like she was having a hell of a time anyway.

[RichTay]

If you can't be bothered to sing Amy, may as well get your tits out for the lads.

Oh - too late!

[spikesfc]

think specials should of left it in the 80,s past it now soz

[91ayai]

i dont know why im hating amy winehouse, maybe cuz she covers most of my fav songs from the specials?

[Angelbride]

@91ayai AND turns them into an even better song?

[grahamsometimes]

The manager/s who allowed her to perform like this and in Croatia before her death? - responsible for her death, period,imho

[braindamage1662]

She's not pissed AGAIN, is she ???

[666deadman1988]

So this is basically 'Specials - Ghost Town while Amy Winehouse just stands there'. No bloody respect to our national anthem at all.

[timfinnerty]

awesome bone solo

[riggstwenty2]

.....still fancy terry hall

[safari8soldier]

She's on a melt-down. Very sad.

[LordoftheJimmy]

First of all... The Specials are awesome! Let's give them some recognition instead of Amy Winehouse who does NOTHING on this song, except sing occasional out-of-place licks and dance badly. Seriously, why was she on stage with them?

[buggerluggs06]

Poor Amy,she looks totally out of her depth there!

[relco72]

dont old Terry Hall look like a young Nick Griffen ?

[bonesstorage]

"Featuring Amy Winehouse". Realy?

[RipBipBear]

everyone looks super hammered haha

[LionSaultV2]

out of her depth ...rip amy nice person tho

[goisles]

Terry looking almost a little Mcgowan-esque nowadays

[goisles]

I've never seen so many old people wearing so many Fred Perry's

[coryfizzle]

Well....Amy is the shit....and there's nothing I'd love more than to play something where a band I listened to growing up said I could hang on stage all lit. I'd freak outttttttt and probably do the same thing she's doing. The real question is WHY DOES IT MATTER to you? It's the fucking specials!

[Shaytan67]

Okay, so that was NO CONTRIBUTION AT ALL from Amy Winehouse. Nice tagging.

[dirtboxdivas]

New Ghost nTown remix out today - click our name here if you want to check it - gulp, not easy remixing a masterpiece

[JPGBRENNAN]

Yeh, I'd 've done the same as the rest of the band, pretend she wasn't there!!!!

[davehan1000]

sometimes the stage performance cannot compare to the recorded version. the haunting vocal melodies and the thumping bassline is an missing but essential part of this track

[independent30m]

The singers look like Rob Riggle from Step Brothers and the dad from Friday lol

[howincrediblyshit]

This is a pretty terrible version.

[realgungho]

@2:49 - is someone trying to stop Terry falling over, he looks wasted.

[darinjaddison]

I saw The Specials at the 1981 Police Picnic near Toronto and I enjoyed myself. Amy Winehouse wasn't even born...now I feel old.

[nikoguy]

Love the Fred Perry shirt the drummer is wearing.

[Danwport]

Ha.....She dead!



[TPower2k8]

love that audience bounce!

[retsevlyslegyn]

amy very slightly out of her league i think.

[waheex]

Winehouse was wingin it but the bone player is amazing

[pelonews]

was she rude girl?

[pelonews]

jajajaja that is right g love39

[YiGo]

Well, she was asked to be there by The Specials. If they wanted more from her, they would've stopped singing and gave her the floor. It's obvious they admire the girl and wanted her there.

[clascaris]

Let's be respectfull to a ghost,can we,commentators "against"Amy W..?

Amy didn't hurt you, now,did she? What have YOU contributed on any stage? That's how riots get started, a-social behaviour. If you wanted her to do a solo,don't go to a Specials- track where she was singing back ground.(In the middle of the stage,where they put her) "Broad"...she hardly was....speck a dust.

[jhnm156]

get that broad outta here! oh,,,

[cheyennebritbrat]

@jhnm156lol! got to love a yank who actually uses the term *broad*

[TheSeanm102]

amy why even bother

[twoslices]

where's the horns???

[Dalgie1990]

Even the Specials looked liked they were peed off she turned up!

[tngodzilla379]

@Dalgie1990 Nah, Terry is always pissed off. Just kidding She sucks

[escortbry]

youngkar go listen to fkn p diddly bummer squat ya dope head

[dblaps]

Amy liked to be on stage for the fun of it whether singing or not.

[tangerineskyline1]

terry hall ive loved you soooooooo long now... xxx

[BritishAlienCompany]

I watched this set when it was on and absolutely loved the Specials! It is only now that i realise that Amy was on....

[9685tikka]

IF SHE WASNT DEAD ID TELL THE SPECIALS NEVER TO LET HER ON THE STAGE AGAIN, R.I.P YA SMACKRAT!!

[thekevinrosell]

how u feeling free

;)

[thekevinrosell]

who u feeling free



[keinNAZISCHWEIN]

haha look how she dance

[youngkar]

Old fat men who should have given up a long time ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Beatboxbob]

@youngkar no, that's amy winehouse

[GLove39]

Amy Winehouse is definitely in a ghost town now ...

[fugugg]

@GLove39 .... I'll say..haa haa haa!!

[NawtyButtNice]

@GLove39 wot was there 2 LIKE bout this comment !

[cash18881]

@GLove39 karma is a bitch

[mrgal1967]

@GLove39 ironic lol

[DenMyster01]

I did rate Amy for a couple of her songs... if only to remind me that it was a throw back to the lates 50s/early 60s, Etta James type stuff... and she did it very well... but here... no way... out of her depth unfortunately...

I genuninely feel so sorry for her family given the catastrophy and very public tragedy of her last few years and at such a very young age.

God bless you and keep you.

[katoness]

6 people are idiots.

[daniellaoalsson]

The Specials kick ass. Nice

[67rml]

Wow. No sh*t. What was she doing there? 

[pawnsacrifice1]

Sorry I never got the whole Amy Whitehouse thinng..I've heard people down the pub who can sing like that

[dearestjen]

@pawnsacrifice1 sure you have

[xxnatz]

@Cnutlyass OH SHI-

[earthling111billion]

To all others who are wondering why Winehouse was on stage: she sang other songs at this performance.

[10lettername]

@Cnutlyass

well, she's dead, you've gotten your wish.

[maximpsycho]

@Cnutlyass your wish has been granted! :P

[Goose618]

the only thing it looks like amy winehouse did in this video was DRUGS! MMMM DRUGS!!!

[akwantony]

leave amy alone punk

[daypeshmodd]

@MrJanesaddiction I wasn't bashing Amy herself. I have her 2 first cd's (don't know if she's made any after that). I would never compare my love for ska, Specials & everything Terry Hall to her though (not in the least!). I just think she proves so well she has no business being there by doing nothing other than .....well, being there.

[daypeshmodd]

@MrJanesaddiction I think she's sporting the new line of ska shirts...that would be the reason she's there. Seriously though...

Get Amy off the stage, it's not like she's doing anything anyway! And bring back Rhoda Dakar !!! And if she's not available, call Pauline Black!!! These great ladies will KNOW what to do & no one else will do it better!!!! NO ONE else can sing & skank with The Specials or any other ska group.

[hamjamnspamalot2]

The Specials are skanking, Amy, well, she's just a skank :D

[666DanSan]

shes cracked out

[captaincomputa]

Amy shiteing Winehouse,Lilly allen what a load of shite,get them off stage

[Tralfaz666]

30 years from now, people will still be listening to the Specials and it'll be "Amy who?"

[Bosmaury]

@azalea66: drugs??

[HarryUpson]

While watching this mesmerising performance by a band who's original name was "The Special Needs" I realised something that has been as obvious as the nose on an elephants face.

Terry Hall and Jerry Hall and Albert Hall are all related.

[TheDonrogers]

Fuck off amy Wankhouse this is the SPECIALS

[cuttsy1970]

what the fook was she on

[blaktoothgrin]

at what what point did the specials really think it was a good idea to have that crack whore on stage with them?

[jairoantinazi]

OFFFFF LO MEJOR AUNTENTICOS SE SIENTE LA MUSIK EN LAS VENAS

[norsdoyle]

Excelent live song by the specials, pity about winehouse in the video

[gadda01]

I liked this, I wish I could individually dislike Amy winehouse

[tpayne66]

Why do Paul Weller and the mighty Specials feel the need to legitimate this human waste?

[tpayne66]

Why do Paul Weller and the mighty Specials feel the need to legitimate this human waste?

[blitzedburgh090]

dumb bitch.. she probably made more money standing there for this one song than I do in 5 months.. fuck off amy skankhouse

[jonsilence]

Amy was the BIGGEST skanker!

[PadgoZ]

i love how at 0:11 you can just see everyone skanking!

[yannleigh]

well amy's best place....doing nothing...should be like that more often 

[xGridlock050x]

why does the white guy singer seem like he dont know wtf he doing?? he wasnt fkkn up but he looked nervous as fuck!!

[xCvxr3Tr0x]

@xGridlock050x hes probably drunk

[tsunamimom]

@xCvxr3Tr0x & @xCvxr3Tr0x - more likely because Terry Hall, like everyone else who loved the Specials way back then, is 50 now... D:

[blueridger28]

I didnt see her do anything but dance horriably out of time

[juddithmaddox85]

lol she sang the last 10 seconds! and just to say "this tooown"

[ruby1973]

This video has some of the finest dance moves I've ever seen!

[SkunkyAngry]

Wait, I'm confused. Amy didn't actually do anything?...

[MrPunkskametal]

fail amy

[alienallie123321]

i didnt heard where amy sang :S

[smokekushinsocal]

who the hell disliked this?! crazy mofo!

[AlexPlayCherry]

Nowadays many people just go with the stream: epic Specials & hate Amy Winehouse. As soon as her new album will be out they all suddenly like and adore her. Crazy world... I´m lucky I grew up in the 80´s/ 90´s.

[azalea66]

What the fek was the point of Amy Winehouse being on the stage?

[StickyyWinklee]

@azalea66 to look pretty :D

.. waitt o.O

[TheLkvoice]

@azalea66 she's purely there to represent the decay that Urban Britain was going through in the 80's of Thatchers Britain........that and she gave hand jobs to the band afterwards

[GOVNARCIC]

@azalea66 yeah SPECIALS RULE!!!!!!!!!!

[Dalgie1990]

@azalea66 just watched this and I agree - did she even sing a line of the lyrics - think im missing something!!!

[darinjaddison]

@azalea66 I was thinking the same thing

[TheLidl100]

@azalea66 the point is that she enhances the "ya-ya-yaaa" and "this towwn" parts a bit and gets some healthy physical exercise on the fresh air plus some vitamin D can get into her skin, not sleeping until her evening gig.... what else.... oh yeah, perhaps someone thought of some increase of the value of the tickets if they get extra celebrities on stage.... not sure about that one, the band being popular enough in themselves

[Bloodyirishpunk77]

hey! look at that amy did good for once!

[WNightshade94]

she just stood there doing a shitty dance.

[UnknownMisfit1]

Fuck amy she ruins the specials...

[FunkDoppler]

Winehouse is skankie!

[stereoloov]

Without Jerry Dammers, no Specials.Just another Amy's backing band.Even if she barely sings.

[hihoware888]

amy barley did anything...

obviously

[dfarmbrough]

Not sure if this is as good as they are capable of, but it might just be a bad quality recording. They did it very well on Jools Holland last year, so they've obviously still got it!

[blairbooth]

Terry Halls Terry Blair And Anouchka single Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes is back up!

[thetrulyGORDONEGRO]

"anti-racism was intrinsic to the formation of The Specials, in that the band was formed with the goal of integrating black and white people"

AND:

"The video, which was reportedly handed to the News of a World by a friend, shows Amy, 24, and another woman singing racist football chants to the tune of children's song 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'.

However they have replaced the words with 'Blacks, pakis, gooks and nips' followed by: 'And deaf and dumb and blind and gay'.

FUCK A-WH

[dfarmbrough]

@thetrulyGORDONEGRO I don't think Amy is a racist. She's a Jewess and has probably had her fair share of persecution over the years. I am sure she's more intelligent than to be a racist.

[wiganrlfcwigan]

She can't have been paid for that

[TheLittlebrittan]

Mr Panter !!! You Have A Lot Of Explaning To Do When You Come Back This Year!!!

[wiganrlfcwigan]

Class

[burn4you]

Don't get me wrong, I like her ability and she has performed well at times when she wasn't all strung out on coke, booze, smack, etc., but she added ZERO to this

[brandyashlia]

bahahaha..... amy just should of stayed back stage.

[chimpyboy1971]

what the f**K is amy crackhoare winehouse doin on stage with these legends? how embarrassing having her on stage rolling around just gettin in the way!!!!!!

[AmaneSuganami]

the trombone player is so sick

[dfarmbrough]

@AmaneSuganami No he's not, he's brilliant!

[kafcin]

Why is Amy Winehead even on stage? Exactly what is she contributing here??

[AlexPlayCherry]

@kafcin: She wanted to give an answer before you ask. See how clever she is! VVV

[MrWeekendoff]

@kafcin I'm sure she said 'Are you Bringstreen, disiau Bringistreen? after about a minute, and at the beginning, she wiggled for a bit..........

[alex93fng]

@kafcin I think she is representing ghosts :C

[AlexPlayCherry]

Come on, they still got a brilliant band to play with! Everyone gets older, even though Terry´s pretty good and Amy´s dream came true to sing with the Specials! Listen to the music, not to drug stories!

[joews91]

amy winehouse did nout 

[rakuencallisto]

@keikumeru

ew.

just, ew.

[losgoobers]

Why is Amy Winehouse even there? Go away!

[rakuencallisto]

@losgoobers

a-greed

[zombieland555]

She didn't really do anything

[jmg4040]

was it too much fighting on the dance floor for the specials and too much coke for Amy

[talkingwall]

Terry looks tired and out of shape, it's 30 years later but he just doesn't look like he's really into this at all. Still sounds wonderful but the energy doesn't seem to be there. Getting old really is a drag

[clashcliche]

this is great! it would have been cool if they did hey little rich girl with her too. her version is terrific.
