I tell ya, this is troubling. Amy is an individual beauty that is slipping into one of the darkest voids of today’s world. I literally get sad watching her dwindling away. Her “Plight” is one of the most troubling I’ve seen. If she does pull out of it, I seriously doubt that she will ever be who she once has been on a personal level. She will suffer greatly the rest of her life. To me, she has been one of the most sexy and uniquely attractive women that I have seen in my generation. She has unmatched charm and charisma when in her right mind. Due to this reality and great respect for what an impact she has had on me, I will not stoop to degrade her for her plight. I would like to reach into her darkness and smack the internal horrors from her side and squash them to piles of served remains at her side. However, only she has that power. I wish her the best and will continue to have faith in her. Hopefully, she will not lose the war. She must be stronger than most of us to survive herself as long as she has. If she redirected half of that strength in order to save herself, she’d be back. And for those who run her in the ground, she may need to hear it, in some cases she may even deserve it, but I will keep hoping that she will defeat all that defeats her and rise again, to come back to herself and all the things that made her someone great.

Best of luck Amy, fight against that which seeks to destroy you. Out smart the poisonous beast inside your head, it feeds on its anonymity.

Sincerely and with great admiration,
Robert Storm.

I understand where Joey is coming from, to a limited extent, but also agree that his comments were shortsighted, and perhaps even a bit selfish. Amy Winehouse is clearly someone in desperate need of help. I wouldn’t champion her intense suffering for her art any more than I would wish suffering upon anyone I care about.

Joey, you mention Jim Morrison and Billie Holiday. How about Marilyn Monroe, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, John Belushi, Kurt Kobain, Basquiat, etc? These artists were all lost to us, prematurely, through some combination of addiction, despair, and neglect. I suspect that you wouldn’t romanticize the early demise of any of these artists as an artistic rite of passage, but perhaps I’m wrong. And the names that I rattled off were just some of the currently most famous names. Artistry is filled with compelling names, faces, and stories of artists who flamed out early while leading lives that spiraled out of control.

Most of your examples came from the other side of the ledger, people who lived through the hazy days to tell what can now be retold as amusing, compelling, awesome stories of addiction, despair, and neglect. I can understand what makes this compelling. But that’s very much the VH1 half-story about reclamation and redemption that’s far from a given for someone in Amy Winehouse’s current predicament.

Amy Winehouse’s addictions are now negatively affecting everything from her health to her relationships to her art. Where’s the compelling romanticism in that?

Generally I like those kinda-skinny, my-life-sucks, living on the dark side, getting high and then giving really slutty bad performances type girls, but seriously Amy, enough is enough. I don’t know what her prob. is, but she needs to, like, drive on the highway, where she’s sure to see some fattening fast-food place, and discover the amazingness of EATING. And SHOPPING, for ACTUAL CLOTHES.

Agreed, her planned duet for the James Bond film was dropped, so she’s clearly not producing much of anything nowadays.

Joey, I totally understand where you are coming from here, but did you actually *LOOK* at that photo? She is obviously killing herself. If she dies you don’t get to hear a new album either. Dumbass.

@ joey

that is the most selfish comment i’ve ever heard. how dare you justify the use of drugs. so you’re basically stating that it’s alright for talented musicians to have unmanagable drug addictions, eating disorders, and terribly low self-esteem. all part of their art, right? i pray to god she gets ostrasized and dropped from her label to learn a lesson and finally put an end to her self-destructive behavior. a woman like this is in obvious need of help from her family, friends, label, and fans. she needs support in this terrible time of hers and not encouragement from people like you, who find it okay for rich, talented, bored musicians to suffer from drug addiction. people will soon look at her as nothing more than a paparazzi target and less of the artist she is. i hope one day she hits a personal rock bottom and has the support needed for full recovery. until then, don’t justify the severe drug addiction she is clearly suffering from.
