    Default Amy Winehouse....disturbing

    OMG I just read this article about Amy Winehouse:

    http://www.blender.com/articles/defa...?key=9519&pg=0

    Its sooooo disturbing. I feel really bad for her. I used to really like her, and bought her CD. Her drug abuse has deteriorated so much that she doesn't give a shit about her fans or career. I keep reading on Perez Hilton how she spits on fans and always cancels her concerts just so she can get drunk.

    http://perezhilton.com/?cat=93

    There are videos on here of her doing lines onstage (supposedly)!!
    WOW. I wonder if she will ever recover

    They try to make me go to rehab, but I say no, no, no.

    I saw this video on TMZ and Perez's site and it looks like she is wiping her (coke) nose on her sleeve. She has some serious drug abuse problems, and it's a shame because the girl is really talented.

    It's always the most talented ones who go down the drain like this. Even all fucked up she sounds better than 99% of the new artists out there.

    I hope she gets help.

    I'm not surprised people are saying her husband is a big part of the problem.

    ^? Owch, lacking requisite Celtic soul in that statement there. Or are you being facetious?

    Most people enjoy Amy's singing so much, they'd like for her to have a chance to sing for a long time.

    I'm being facetious; but on a serious note she has millions in the bank. There are literally hundreds of thousands if not millions in similar if not worse situations that don't get people's care of attention.

    You know those bums on the street that beg for change so that they can get a hit/get drunk when was the last time you spared them a thought or gave a kind word of sympathy?

    The whole celebrity culture makes me sick.

    i loved amy winehouse when "you know i'm no good" came out... so i got the album... i still haven't had the time to sit and enjoy it start to finish.

    but, with that said, she is SO snorting in that vid... would it have killed her to walk offstage for a mini break?? pathetic.

    I was thinking about this and how if this were 40 years ago and not the celebrity obsessed culture we have now, we'd be celebrating her talent and sympathizing with Amy Winehouse after she's choked to death on her own vomit, not critiquing her as this tragedy plays out.

    I wonder what people would have thought if they had daily documentation of Janis Joplin or Jim Morrison? They didn't get convicted by the public because their private lives were kept out of the media. Hell, Marilyn Monroe would have gotten the Britney Spears treatment if the paps were following her every move. It really takes the glitter off the stars when you know the "reality" of their daily lives.

    I liked it better when we didn't know.

    I don't understand why people (business) are still behind her. There are SOOOO many talented unsigned artists out there who are passionate about what they do and don't need rehab.

    Sure she can sing. But honestly, she's just another white chick who sounds black and wears a wig. Her quirckiness makes her fans feel like their *cool* for liking her. They like how she doesn't look like a pop tart. OK. But like I said, there are SO many unsigned non-druggie artists out there.

    I don't get her draw.

    Anyways, I can't WAIT for Eryka Badu's new album that's coming out. It's been like 7 years.

    I have nothing against Winehouse. She just seems like she'd be a headache to manage. Good thing I'm not a manager!

    YES! But Janice Joplin was unique and a mega voice and a dynamo on stage. I don't see that in Winehouse. Maybe i'm missing something. I'll have to see her live footage I guess.

    Damn, she's younger than me and looks like that?

    Kids, drugs are bad.

    I sound like such a "hater" today. What's my problem?

    If by "black", you mean "like Gary Coleman", I agree with ya.

    I hope she gets better though. It's sad to see talented people wasting away like this.

    I think she's 24 or 25. Drugs are awful on the skin!

    I think Amy is quite unique and certainly has a mega voice. I prefer her kind of singing to the Mariah Carey, Celine Dion "whaling" type of singing.

    Janis Joplin was an amazing singer/songwriter, but she had a short-lived career due to dying young. I think we'd view her differently if she came along today. Actually, I don't think we'd have gotten a chance to hear her at all if she came along today. She wasn't an attractive woman, and that seems to be valued over talent in today's music industry.

    Such a good point! Can we not just judge their talent and let their personal lives go!

    It's a shame because I wanted to like Amy Winehouse so much. She has a nice voice, and her "Back to Black" album is solid throughout. She's about .5 seconds from ending up with Britney Spears in my book. I won't buy, illegally download, listen to, or anything Britney Spears. She's too much of an asshat and I know she's just going to piss her money away on Starbucks and paparazzos' foot surgeries. Winehouse is just going to ingest her earnings through her nose. No sense in wasting any more money on her. I like artists I can half-way respect as well as enjoy audibly.

    Good points but Winehouse isn't attractive. I think that's part of her appeal. People were getting sick of the typical pop tart.

    And it is too bad that we are privvy to so much of celebs' personal lives. Being a celeb now means zero privacy - unless you're smart. There are definitely celebs who stay under the radar but are definitely *major*.

    I could've sworn artists make their money from things other than album sales. They might make a little but it mostly comes from live shows and endorsements.

    Speaking of Spears' money - it's sick how much she pulls in every month. She worked her butt off for it though.
