EASTNOR CASTLE DEER PARK, England — Amy Winehouse’s goddaughter performed an outstanding set at the Big Chill music festival, mirroring her late mentor by closing her show with a cover of Winehouse’s “Love Is a Losing Game.” Dionne Bromfield, 15, got teary-eyed when she performed the song, barely able to sing its last few words as the crowd cheered her on.
“She was an amazing singer,” Bromfield said. “She was not only my godmother, but she was my mentor and my boss as well.”
The big-voiced singer sang with ease during her 30-minute performance Saturday, the second day of the U.K. music festival.
Bromfield was a reminder of Winehouse: She stood close to the mike while belting lyrics, with her big hair and tiny build.
She was backed by a band and dancers, performing songs from her two albums and singing mainly about relationship troubles.
Her scratchy voice was top-notch as she sang soul songs with pop flavors, especially on the old-school-sounding “Remember Our Love” and the up-tempo “Yeah Right.”
Winehouse, 27, was found dead of unknown causes at her London home July 23.
