perverting the course of justice doesn't just mean threatening a witness etc, it could simply be her having lied in a statement to protect her boyfriend.

What I get from the articles is that Blake has no money, so his offer of 200K to a witness to change his story = amy giving him the money therefore she is seen as an accomplice.
If anyone plays the death pool amy is a pretty good bet for 2008.

christ the gossip machinery is in overdrive here, eh??
"I heard that she was _____________ and that ________ was doing _________ which means that ___________".

yeah good when she actually sings - lately she's just been shuffling around moaning.
- no fucken wonder with comments like yours floating about.emecks
- Right - it's my fault she's a heroin addict. Awesome argument on your partflashbender

She's a decent musician. Too bad she's been on drugs for a while. I'm pretty sure she was like this before she was popular, since she has been married for a while and he has been using for a while.

How many genii have been free of all drugs and lived an altogether healthy life?
Name one single genius that hasn't been a monumental fuck-up in at least some aspect of their lives, go on.....
seriously it is the "Stephen Hawking football / David Beckham stupid" argument all over....
- Most people have a screwed-up moment in their lives. But not all of them have been addicted to drugs.Jaline
- just one genius Jaline.... just one.emecks
- haha
seriously, there HAS to be. I don't know enough about "geniuses" to comment.Jaline - I would say me, but I am a pretty monumental fuck-up myself.flavorful

I don't want to start a beef with you emecks, but how is she a genius? She sings what are essentially Motown classics.
In answer to your genius question - BB king, non-smoker, non-drinker, no drugs all his life. He gambled, but never got himself all fucked up over it.

I think this 'smacked of my tits' approach might all be an act as excuse for those sh*tty prison tattoo's she's got going on!

I'm not after a beef either flashbender.
In my opinion, humble though it is, there has not been another female vocalist in the past 3 decades who comes close to her voice.
The people in the office who "attack" her sound all listen to Britney Spears, Rhianna and anything else that is in the charts and consider themselves "clued-up" when arguing about how "really shit her music is" to me.

I don't dispute her talent or the quality of her voice at all. The first time I heard her - I said "that girl's got soul" and imagined a woman looking not unlike Aretha Franklin, but then I saw a picture of her and I was blown away that that voice came from that little person. Obviously the fans and the industry think she has something special too - considering the awards she's won.
So don't get me wrong, I do like her and think she's talented, but the trainwreck that her life has become is so insanely addictive that you can't look away. And the thing that really gets me about it is she had people - her family - who are telling her, you're in a downward spiral, you need to do something, you need help, and she just doesn't listen. Having never been in that situation, I'm not one to judge, but I will continue to watch in absolute fascination wondering what happens next.
Seriously this makes Brittney Spears look like a girlscout.
And she used to be really really good looking:

emecks popped more grumpy pills today.
I do agree about her voice though. But, I do have to say that there ARE a few people in the past 3 decades who come close to her voice or surpass her. Like Christina Aguilera, who can sing through a gazillion octaves.
- Others include:
Alicia Keys
Neko Case
I can come up with more...Jaline - come close maybe, not surpass though :)emecks
- Aguilera does.Jaline
- I'll agree to disagree with you on that :)emecks
- okay :)Jaline
- Have you ever heard Aguilera sing?
Like really sing?flavorful - not like winehouse I've not, no ;)emecks
- Are you talking to emecks? YOU TELL 'EM FLAVOR!!!

I hear you flashbender, you're right too.
The thing with addiction is that YOU need to hit rock-bottom before you will accept that the only cure is lifelong abstinence.
Unfortunately I had to learn this lesson from a family member who was Alchoholic, Bulemic and dependent on prescription drugs too. She got her kids taken away from her and still didn't stop for a few years, even that wasn't far enough of a fall for her.... So basically as there is nothing that anyone except Ms Winehouse herself can do to help her I just sit back, enjoy the phenomenal voice coming out of her wrecked body and hope that she bottoms out before it is too late in order that I can enjoy her singing for a long time to come.
Otherwise she'll join Hendrix and co.

I love Amy Winehouse music, But am I fucked if I am sorry for her problems. She has brought all this on by her self, to many drug, and then acting like a Cunt on stage, when people have paid good money to see her sing. Get the fuck over yourself Amy Winehouse, and start acting like a professional.
