Amy Winehouse performed her first major concert since 2008 at the Summer Soul Festival in Florianópolis, Brazil on Saturday. Though there was some word from her  back-up singers Zalon and Heshima that she would debut new material at the show, she did not perform any new originals, though she did include two covers which may eventually turn up on her third album.

Winehouse's cover selections included the Little Anthony and the Imperials number "I'm on the Outside Looking In" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." The latter was the song written for the 1934 film Moulin Rouge and made popular by Tony Bennett, not the Green Day hit from 2004. Both covers were filmed by fans at the venue, and though the footage is a bit shaky it is clear the Winehouse was in good form, which bodes well for the remainder of her tour of Brazil this week.

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
