Amy Winehouse

Such a good song.

Amy Winehouse drinks at one of my locals in Camden, "The good Mixer".

She's cool, despite what the gutter press may think.

I definitely apreciate the downward spiral theme in her "Back to Black" album. While sad that it was so true to her real life, I always find the descent into desperation and ruin fascinating. Her makeup is also awesome, she knows how to work with what she has to make herself look great (at least before the drugs made her look like she was sucked dry).

I like Amy Winehouse, she has a great singing voice. I think the press are too hard on her, they only ever seem to publish the really, really unflattering shots of her.

I like her all right, but I don't think the press are "too hard" on her at all.

I love Amy Winehouse's music.
I think it'd be a lot easier for her to clean up if the press got off her back.
And of course if she stopped hanging around with Pete Doherty...

It would be a lot easier if she gave a shit about not being a drug addict.
Her problems and lack of solving those problems are no one's fault but hers.

I hate how everyone keeps saying how she needs to sort out her problems. She's in rehab! She's sorting out those problems.

I like her music and her voice, not the kind of stuff I usually listen to though. I feel sorry for her, what with the press on her back, and Blake dumping her.

I do'nt like her but even if I did I would'nt buy her songs, it's like giving money to homeless drug addicts. I would rather give money to people who will spend it on something useful, not drugs.

overrated

she sounds overproduced to me, like if you toyed enough with the vocals and the mixing and so forth, anyone could sound like she does. (which is contrived and mediocre in my opinion, though i understand a lot of people like her.) seems like its so overdone, overrated. maybe im just bitter cause they play it so much on the jukebox at the pub where i work.

Obviously your ears are so primitive that I doubt your opinion should be considered.

Statistics say she will, most people who come out of rehab relapse. I would wait until she is fully clean to give her money, it's irresponsable.
