Amy Winehouse has Emphysema

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.
 
Watching my mother-in-law die due to a life-time of smoking was very hard. She was 71 when she finally passed on.

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 second this one. 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.
 
I just realized she's like 5 years older than me. She looks 50

I didnt realise she was only 24, im almost 23, damn!


Self inflicted wounds don't elicit any sympathy from me.

I agree, my family is riddled with hereditary problems, life is complicated enough without becoming self destructive, I have no sympathy for her either. 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 just my personal view, that if you don't show sympathy you don't deserve to recieve it.

It's all too easy to sit behind your keyboard and judge.
You left out the self-inflicted part there chief. At least take my entire statement into consideration and not utilize what worked well for your judgment, while disregarding the rest, mmmkay?
