Hey!

  I've just watch the news and they says that she is checking in rehab now. 

  Sadly sometime money and fame really could screw up people up 

  Well, at least she is excepting her problem and willing to work on it. Wish her well

Take care,
Buddy

She probably only went to rehab to stay outta jail. What she really needs to change is her attitude,,,, the drugs are simply a reflection of that.    And to change her attitude, she'll probably have to lose a few of her "friends". 

Been there, done that. 


Cheers,
Robin

If you like Amy I'd encourage you to give a listen to Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings "100 Days, 100 Nights". The Dap Kings are actually Winehouse's backing on her album and toured with her a bit.

Anyway I think Sharon is far more authentic than Amy and I'd encourage some of you to try out the album,

i am in no way disparaging your comments about sharon jones - i have never heard her.  but, i am not sure what you mean by her being "more authentic"?  more authentic what?  is amy not a real human?  is it not real music that she makes?

Authentic as in looking disheveled, smoking crack on camera, drunk out of your mind not giving a crap what you look like authentic? Do you think she is a poseur? hmm...

this is like reading National Enquirer

[amadeus916]

I can't handle Amy Winehouse...they always play her "Rehab" song when I'm at the gym and it just put a sour taste in my ears. My roomate loves her...I don't quite see the draw...

Yikes, try and turn some people on to a performer they may not have heard and watch out!

I find Sharon to be more of an authentic performer for the style of music. Sharon is a 51 year old African-American woman. Amy is talented but she's a young British girl. I thought you might be interested in hearing some soul/r&b from a master.

I can't even tell what point you are trying to make but umm, thanks.

I'm guessing by authentic, he means Sharon isn't just going thru the motions when singing a song but she's putting out some of herself in what she's singing. Have you ever actually watched Amy sing? Seems like it's the last thing she really wants to be going and she's simply going thru the motions while thinking about the next shot and/or smoke backstage. Amy's got talent but she's not giving up anymore of herself than she has to,,,, or maybe that's all she really has to offer now. Give me a clean Amy Winehouse and I would rather listen to her sing than Sharon Stone anyway. But for Amy,,, that was many years ago.

hey, don't get me wrong - i am all for checking out new music.  i was yust confused as to what you meant by "authentic".

imo, amy's music is good, interesting bluesy pop music.  nothing at all unauthentic about it.  so, i thought "authentic" to be a poor descriptive choice, & i yust wanted to know what you meant...  now i know - sharon jones is a blues/r&b singer, that you think is a master of her craft.

I think if you give sharon Stone a listen or watch her latest video, you'll see the difference. One girl is healthy, the other is not. And that fact plays out in their music presentation. Sharons's music is a gutsy blues, like Janis, where Amy is totally soulful blues, like maybe she's got African roots from her past. JMO, JM2cents.

sharon stone is a lousy caucasian actress, no?

Amy ain't no Topround Mike,,,, get your head outta the clouds.

Amy! Get help... !

 That woman is a drug addict. FULL ON!!
At this pace she is gonna DIE!!! Get real man, that is where she is going!!!
This is a tragedy! A full on tragedy in the making!!!

My take..!

How can the people around her let her buy drugs like this. They should have their balls ripped of..
and their spine tore from their bodys what sorry ass excuses for humans they are! ASSHOLE BEINGS!!!
When somebody is adrug addict, they cannot think! They need to have help!!! Fucking morons surround her!
It's gonna be her death it is!!! So sad!!!

I had heard that song 100 days 100 nights on the way home from work last night and was just about to try to figure out who sang it when your post popped up with the answer great song hopefully a great cd because its on its way here . Bettye Levette's latest album is

I think she is an excellent songwriter and singer.  Don't know what kind of performer she is or how long she's gonna live but I do like her work.  There is one song I heard on YouTube, not one of the popular ones, that reminds me so much of Billie Holiday.  Any disenchanted dudes out there wanna sell me their copy of Back To Black cheap?

[jackman]

Anyone catch Amy on last night's Grammy awards?  She deserved all of the awards she won and her performance rocked.  I hope she stays clean because she's a great performer and a rare talent.  She wrote every song on BTB and there is not a single bad song on the album (along with 4 strong singles).

J-man,

PS - One more thing, Screw Natalie Cole.  She has more nerve than talent and has a lot of balls to comment on who deserves a grammy.  It's too bad Natalie Cole will never know what it's like to have Amy's talent!  If her father wasn't Nat King Cole, one of my all time favorites by the way, she would be working the counter at KFC.
