'Rude!' – Amy Winehouse Calls Out Problematic Reporter at Ivor Novello Awards (2007)

On 24 May 2007, singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse was awarded the Ivor Novello Best Contemporary Song for her hit single, Rehab. On stage to accept the award, Winehouse joked that she hadn't even had time to get drunk beforehand. Backstage, Winehouse spoke to a number of journalists – including one who Winehouse called out for their "rude" behaviour. The acclaimed artist told journalists how it felt to win an award for her songwriting, and who she was looking forward to meeting backstage. She also made reference to her recent marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, who she described as "the best man in the world".

Speaking on what would have been Amy Winehouse's 40th birthday, her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil today said he would do "nearly everything differently" if he were given a chance to rewind time. Speaking to Good Morning Britain, the star's ex-husband told the hosts: "It’s devastating she’s not here. I think about her all the time, I thought about her this morning when I said my happy birthday to her, she was my best friend."

"She's not young and I wasn't..." That is so rude. Most normal people would just say "oops, sorry".

[robertcawthorn]

She was too real, I love how she lights up, and responds to genuine questions, her eyes flash and claws out, for all the false, Gone but never forgotten

[michaellovegrove]

She was too real and humble for this fucked up cruel unforgiving world

[cassandrarocha]

You can see in her face the moment she sees that he’s standing on her foot and how she’s thinking of letting it go but just couldn’t ignore it. She was such a beautiful human being.

[bennifer]

Poor woman looked so uncomfortable with her interviewers. It's a shame they looked for drama instead of the brilliant artist in front of them

[HelenRachael]

The way her face lit up when she was asked about who she found inspiring/who she wanted to meet vs when she was being asked questions about herself. I genuinely think there are such talented musicians who would probably love to perform then just go home without having a million microphones shoved in their face 😩

[davidrobinson]

Amy was special. No heirs and graces, missing tooth, smiling so much and telling the Geordie interviewer she was playing Whitley Bay.

[leoanderson]

She was the most humble real celebrity there is

[simonac.]

I like the way she susses people whilst looking straight into their eyes

[danbull]

Sad how she kept saying shes not eloquent when she had such a captivating way of talking. Or maybe she just wanted to move to the next question

[gracom]

I love the fact that there was no pretence about her. She was authentic, real, down-to-earth and wasn't afraid to show what she really thought about some of the questions. I love the fact that she defended the lady as well. ❤

[SlimShadybby]

poor baby, you could see it in her eyes, and see it in her body language. she deserved the world and I’m just happy she’s now resting in peace and tranquility. she will always be a musical legend and such a beautiful sweetheart!

[a.ham]

She talked to him nicely and defended the lady but look how rude he is

[itsgonnabealright]

Awww she said "Ta" that's so beautiful

[phoenixmcandrewmusic]

🤣 she’s so funny, she was so over it and ready to pick a fight.

[ktx]

The sadness in her eyes is heart shattering

[carolinemurty]

She was a very sweet girl, I always remember her hugging the old man in the never mind the buzzcocks line up so he didn’t feel bad. She was not only incredibly talented but also extremely kind

[Elevated_Frequencies]

She didn't really wanna be there. All those mics in the face would make anyone uncomfortable.

[lee-sqob]

SHE WAS SO FUCKING REAL. It's so unfair.

[Ms.Laterholmes]

She’s very eloquent she’s just doesn’t wanna answer her stupid questions
