I'm not a fan of hers, but it is sad to see her come very close to losing it all over crack.

I feel for her as a fan, but on the whole I just want to throttle her with tough love to straigten her out. |

That's my sad celebrity prediction. |

|  | You don't want to do that. Trust me. Forum Administrator | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: atlanta ga | | | bet she can sing better now.
sorry, but i think her singing is awful - she basically won the lottery, because she surely didn't -earn- her noteriety (she can hardly hold a tune), and squandered it on crack. now her health is failing because of a self-inflicted deathwish? no sympathy. the price of hubris.

Shame about the crack though...

It is astounding that Ms. Winehouse has succeeded in doing to herself in a matter of a few years what it took my mom-in-law a lifetime to accomplish.
She should be very proud of herself.
I guess if there is a bright side, it's that she won't be leaving any kids behind when she inevitably self-destructs...
I hope she fixes her head before it's too late. I feel for her folks.

I haven't seen a live performance of hers where her voice is even close to the record. Not to mention she is completely cracked-out at every performance as well. Good riddance, you did this to yourself.

|  | The older I get, the better I was. | | Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Pasadena, CA | | | I enjoy listening to her singing (at least the recorded stuff), but have never been able to bring myself to actually purchase any of her material simply due to the fact that she's making such a mess of herself. What a shame. |

She could have had it all, and decides to squander it all, such a waste.
And I concur with fenderhutz, she'll be lucky to see the next year IMO

It's all too easy to sit behind your keyboard and judge.

I hope she gets help....she is sick in the head, mostly.
