    Where were all of you when a certain member of a certain band that we all love was dependent on booze and drugs???? Were you all sitting on your high horses then?

    Thank you Trixiecat! :)

    Great voice!
    I’m not one to kick anyone when they’re up, let alone when they’re down.
    She's a great talent and in trouble, and I hope she makes it through this ordeal. It’s another typical story of success to someone young and not ready to handle it financially or mentally, coupled with the pressures that the record companies put on them to produce more music and tour. Now in the internet age, people are subject to relentless publicity where your every move is watched and judged by people sitting behind their computer screen or TV.


    Haha,,, I just had the beehive B-52's on! Lava's a great song!

    Amy Winehouse is as talented and as fucked up as Ella Fitzgerald, Bilie Holiday and their ilk.

    i love a good double standard, don't you? reminds me of the people round here slagging emo for being about white suburban kids whining about their problems... people who worship a band that made their name via a song and video called jeremy about a white suburban kid's problems.

    amy winehouse's album was pretty good, though i'll admit my fav track was the last one she did with ghostface, gave a little edge that i felt was lacking.
    and like that... he's gone.

    I have to admit, I like her, I dig her voice. Now as far as the other crap that surrounds her, I am not a fan.

    Back To Black is a solid album. Though I haven't listen to it in awhile, probably b/c I prefer those moody albums in the fall/winter.
    Her debut was alright. Let's hope she'll be able to make a third album. :p

    Too much slaggong off on this board.

    she's a great singer and the type of music she does is great -- retro, 60s girl group music. Anyone saying she is shit doesn't like the type of music anyways and is ignorant. She does what she does well and is extremely talented. A complete trainwreck, but talented.

    any woman who dances like Muhammed Ali attempting a tightrope walk isnt for me... add in the fact that she looks like she fell into her make up... and she can just fuck off.

    I dont mind some of the tunes though... but watching her live is just too much... her and Pete Doherty should enter some kind of pact together...

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I know it's not (entirely) her fault but the constant mentions by the media of her music and/or her ridiculous junkie adventures is really tiring. If you don't like her music then it definitely becomes irritating to a point where you just end up slagging her of when she is mentionned. Enough with amy already, the media should just get back to us when she comes up with something more relevant than doing crack.
    Oh and I disagree with what someone said, if she goes on like she does chances are her carreer will die before her.

    She has one of the best voices ive ever heard but she is wasting it. I dont mind her music, think a lot of people who say stuff like she is talentless, which is ridiculous to be honest, (anyone with half a brain can tell from listening to her that she has lots of talent in her voice even if they dont like it) are more affected by her negative portrayal in the media. Ill bet a lot of her critics would say she was a good singer if they didnt know her details.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    I saw her quite randomly, in London, a few weeks ago. She looks better in the flesh.
