Amy Winehouse ... Class or Trash ?

Really? Well I guess that just shows how much I care for her kind :P

I think what defines hip is what gets all the marketing. Yeah, so you get a tv commercial stating that there's a huge new success and very famous and popular Amy Whitehouse, and ok, then most people go and buy her album because it's there. And they play it on the radio, well, the radio never plays anything people like, they play what they're paid to play, easy as that. Oh, I'm not valling her trash because I haven't heard her music at all. All I know is she's been nominated for most prices in the what'sit grammy something gala. Which obviously stands for nothing. I myself wouldn't care for a musical trophy from something that awards singers such as Whitehouse here and Timberlakes there. Seriously.

Well, not having heard any of her music I'm going to have to say that her mother was a hamster and her father smelt of elderberries.

Don't know much about her other than what I read here and there.  I just hate to see anyone with God-granted talent for making music waste it on being a narcissist.

A tragic character, who has the potential to be sheer class. She is certainly not trash. I dont like the idea of dismissing someone in that way.

Anyone who has heard her sing live, will know she is actually not a great singer, but certainly a unique one. Her music stands out in the sea of chart mediocrity. I hope she is able to climb out of the pit of self destruction she has fallen into.

Just heard her for the first time. As if Christmas shopping wasn't bad enough, having her stuff blasted through the unforgiving low-fi Best Buy intercom added new pain to the experience.

Amy now (tatts and skinny and before she was so well known (kinda sexy and curves in the right places)    theres so much more then fame what a waist !

^ Those press comments are what really make it ugly! Ok, Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty and not to forget Britney Spears seem to have severe mental problems, but what they need is help rather than the next article on their behaviour. I'm not at all a fan of those three, but I think that they - as everybody else - deserve to be treated with some dignity, even if they obviously lost their's on several occasions.
Musically I don't even know what Winehouse does - I'll have to get an impression of it somehow.
