[QUOTE=EJsGirl] I have never actually heard her sing- all I ever read about is her freaking hair… Trashy, trashy girl… [/QUOTE] This was her lead-off single, “You Know I’m No Good.” If you can get past her trashy look, it’s a pretty great pop song.

Hmm so she’s England’s Christina Aguilera? ---

Holy crap! That girl can sing! Made me think a bit of Aretha Franklin, even… Damn, that’s a waste… Hope she can get a grip. I did, so I know it can be done- but then again, I didn’t have a bunch of people watching my every move… ---

She looks kinda like [Natalie Nardone](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/hh/2014494/HH/2014494/iid_954610.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Nardone,%20Natalie), who you probably wouldn’t have heard of unless you looked her up after she played Ida Summers on an episode of “Breaking Vegas”. ---

[QUOTE=Ogre] Wait. Who is Amy Winehouse (apart from the lush trying to pour her way through the linked song, that is)? [/QUOTE] [Amy Winehouse](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Winehouse) is a very talented jazz and soul singer, born to a family with jazz singers in it. I particularily like her “[Back to Black](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aygAu1x2uQo)” song and video. ---

Noooooo nooooo nooooo shit. What a soooprize. It does kinda bum me out though, since I dig her. And yeah, she does have the face of man, but damn is she talented. God speed, er, I mean, good luck, Amy. ---

[QUOTE=adam yax] Any speculation as to what she has OD’d on? Given the way she used to look and the way she looks now, I’ll WAG it was coke. [/QUOTE] It was reportedly heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and ketamine. She’s not one to do things halfway, it seems. ---

[QUOTE=Geobabe] It was reportedly heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and ketamine. She’s not one to do things halfway, it seems. [/QUOTE] Pffft lightweight! Seriously though I hope she gets through this with her health and sanity intact. This doesn’t strike me as being as one of those self-aggrandising “Celebrity Rehab” publicity stunts that seems fashionable at the moment. She’s got a great voice, and talent to spare, and I wish her all the best. ---

Sobriety won’t just come to you, you have to work for it, but it is very worthwhile. I hope hitting bottom for her doesn’t involve a coffin for her or her husband. ---

Well, if she did have a seizure at any point, it was probably smart to get a scan, and I’m sure that had to be done in a hospital. Hopefully she’s on her way back to the rehab facility now. ---
