Just wondering what you guys think of her. I like her music, but have to say that I'm a bit disturbed by it as well, this Rehab song sounds like an attempt to glorify not going to rehab by a person that could obviously gain some benefit by doing so. I realize that character has never really played a part in the decisions to give out the grammys, but I find it disturbing that they gave her so many, and what kind of effect that will have on the young people that listen to the music...

I completely agree. With all the stick thin, drunk and/or drugged out dirtbags out there, it's getting harder and harder to find young female singers or actresses to look up to.
You ever see these two pictures?
Amazing, isn't it?
Now I'm not going to deny that a lot of the great music, especially in the 70's, was probably written and performed under the influence. But there are just so many airhead dirtbag women right now.

Yeah, Greenie, I've seen those pics, I'm assuming the left is recent, not sure how much time elapsed between those though. She performed live at the Grammys, via satellite. Apparently she wasn't drug free long enough to get a visa to come to the US and do it in person, but then they reversed the decision, after she decided to just do it via satellite. It was a decent performance, I'm still left wondering at her reactions to winning after that performance though, I thought at first she was stoned out of her mind, then thought perhaps she was just truly overwhelmed by winning. Still not real sure, but I'd have to lean towards the stoned.
I guess that's it, it bothers me greatly that the singers of today are like this, stoned out of their mind or drunk all the time, Britney, not sure what the fuck is wrong with her, besides just nuts... And all the gangsta wannabes that seem to invade the teen listening choices of today. I know, I'm probably just old, Motley Crue and Bon Jovi were party hard and screw anything that moves, I guess I shouldn't bitch. It just really sucks when you find yourself thinking what your parents thought 20 years ago...

it did become bizarrely hilarious when she did go to rehab twice. like, only because of her rehab song, not because it is actually hilarious when people go to rehab.

She's a good musician, just wish she'd get her shit together.

She's a complete waste of time. Minimal talent paired with the marketing machine put her on the hot list for awhile. She apparently couldn't handle even minimal success. Now she'll be a footnote at best. Get her obituary ready, it'll run in a handful of years.
The differences between Amy Winohouse and Janis Joplin: Janis could sing, and Janis could hold her liquor. Amy can do neither. That doesn't bode for a long career in the music business. Unless your name is Ozzy Osbourne. Somehow.
She's put herself on the scrapheap. She's the only one capable of taking herself off it. My $20 says she won't. Classic case of wasted potential, ala Kurt Cobain, Shannon Hoon, Keith Whitley, et al.
