Dionne Bromfield Performs On Strictly Come Dancing (Video) - Amy Winehouse Provides Backing Vocals

If you haven’t yet heard of Dionne Bromfield then you’ll likely be impressed by her performance in this video. It comes from Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 and shows Bromfield singing Mama Said. And who’s that providing backing vocals? Why, it’s none other Amy Winehouse, who just happens to be Bromfield’s godmother.

Mama Said may be a cover (of a hit by The Shirelles) but that doesn’t make this any less impressive. Bromfield is only 13-years-old yet she sings like an accomplished adult and seems to show no nerves performing on national television. Sure, she may only have got the chance to sing on the show and have a record deal in the first place because Winehouse has groomed her to success, but there’s no doubting she’s very talented.

Unfortunately, Winehouse didn’t seem to cope as well. She provides some ropey backing vocals and struggles to keep up with the other backing singers throughout the performance. Anyone would think she’d missed rehearsals to go and get a boob job or something. Oh wait, that’s exactly what happened.

Bromfield is the first signing to Winehouse’ record label, Lioness Records and her debut album, Introducing Dionne Bromfield, was released today (Oct. 12). Mama Said, the first single off the album, will be released on Nov. 2.
