WOW, what an amazing tv comeback! She's still got it (the ability to raise her arms up and down)!

And the girl just keeps singing the same two lines over and over. Yawn.

She looked just as bad as ever. She was completely off-time and I think her microphone was switched off. The camera-man kept avoiding her as well. Oh well, so much for her alleged health recovery.

There was a very clear reason for it and I am surprised you didnt notice it.

Look carefully again and you will see she was actually a Thunderbird because you can just make out the fishing line strings attached to her hands and the hinge at the side of her lips to make the mouth move.

I reckon that she probably died of an overdose 2 years ago and they just get her out the box and make her dance up and down on strings for a bit and then put her away again for the next time!

That was... bizarre. Amy Winehouse looked like she was about to fall over any second and hit her head off the microphone.

Would that girl have been on primetime telly if her godmother was not Winehouse? Good but nothing special.

Brilliant advert for not letting your kids go into the pop world they might turn out like the shocking site that is Amy Winehouse

So sad, I'm a Winehouse fan, and she still looks ill - waste of talent

She was barely moving her mouth, is that the way she sings?!

I absolutely adore AW's talent but she really shouldn't be wheeled out like this - its a freak show. What on earth is a 13 year old doing on SCD? She's a reasonable singer but she should be doing what normal 13 years old do and getting better not being paraded like this. It's a tough trade. Look what happened to her Godmother!

Nobody mentioned anything about the girl being on the show until she was announced by Brucie! Wonder if she was dragged in quickly to replace the spaced out Amy who had difficulties in rehearsals remembering to sing when she noticed "the fairies dancing around in front of her eyes!!!"

Lets face it, she was a headline news 3 days ago and today she was a backing vocal that could clearly not remember what she was meant to do when it came to "Lift Arms and Lower Arms and Repeat!"

That was the BBC making a huge screw up bringing her on the show and then realising how disastrous this would be so unable to cancel they just improvised and hoped it wouldnt show!

Good 'ol Amy.... only person to make Pete Doherty look like then next in line for Archibishop of Canterbury!

That was a little embarrassing.

I think Amy Winehouse is very talented, but she wasn't with it tonight at all - she was completely off time and looked like she was about to keel over.

And what a rubbish song, the same 2 lines over and over.

Disappointed by Winehouse's goddaughter. As another poster has already said she is good but nothing special. Why not let her finish her education and live a "normal" life until she is old enough to choose a career in singing? With the Winehouse link she will always be able to access the music industry so why make her go into it so young?? I feel a bit sad for her.

The backing singing didn't involve a lot of singing, was more sounds.

Nah...it was announced weeks ago that AW was making her comeback on SCD and that it was as backing singer to her goddaughter....was never intended any other way.

I thought the girl was pleasant enough to listen to, looked a bit scared at the end. So I too wonder if she was a late substitute for Ms. Winehouse?

That's two rather tragic guest singers two weeks running.

Made me miserable to see that wasted, destroyed hugely talented girl like that.

I've never been a massive fan or anything, but Amy was a terrific performer and wrote great songs and she is still so young.

It was a bit horrible. I hope that it was part of a recovery thing and done to protect and help her.

As for the girl, well done to her. But her Godmother was fantastic as a teenager and look at her now.

No advert for putting a child on to perform.

That feels okay.

Isnt the God daughter the same person that was in controversy last year for going to a live gig with Amy and witnessed her taking drugs or something?
There was some huge fuss that the parents of the little girl were trying to block Amy from any contact her in future because of the bad influence aspect.

Eh? No, she wasn't. It WAS meant to be like that. I think Wino went on to give the girl a bit of support/confidence?

It was cringesome to the nth degree (imo)

Although Dionne could clearly sing, she was nothing more than you would hear at any decent am-dram night at your local community hall.

There is no way on this earth that she would have been invited onto SCD had her family connections not been what they were.

And whats more, I heard her on Radio 2 this week being interviewed about her performance and all she said was

"she's the best god-mother ever"

"she's still talented"

"she loves her family"

All about Amy. Surely she should be pushing her own "talent"

Amy squandered hers...............
