Tears Dry On Their Own

Irregardless of the demons she battled, Amy Winehouse had an undeniable talent. With an outstanding voice, beautiful face, and in-your-face style, she’ll live on forever in her music and videos.

Speaking of her music, the AP reports that she left behind a great deal of unreleased music. According to people close to Amy, no decision has been made about whether it’ll be released or not.

If anything good can come from this incredibly sad tragedy, I hope that others will realize that when you’re battling demons, only one of you are going to win. If only Amy had realized that she, herself, was worth fighting for and worth saving. The story would have had a whole other ending. I’m sure that what she’d want more than anything would be for others to learn from her life. I think the thought would make her smile that amazing, one of a kind, smile of hers!

Leona LewisNot that it would seem like a possible scenario anyway, Leona Lewis has vowed that she will not become another Amy Winehouse (24). The beautiful British singer and songwriter admitted that she admires Amy’s musical talents, but would definitely avoid the path she has taken. Wise, that. According to Leona (23), having a strong and supportive family is one way of helping her keep her feet on the ground.

“Amy is so talented. But a performer’s privacy is taken away. The media are always there,” Daily Star quoted her as saying. “You can’t make your mistakes in private. I have the advantage of a great support structure. I get honest opinions from family and friends. They aren’t always telling me what I want to hear, but the truth helps keep my head straight,” she said

Leona told Parade Magazine that she (understandably) is honored to be compared to legendary divas Whitney Houston (44) and Mariah Carey (38). “It’s exceedingly gratifying because they’re so great,” she added.

Sadly, Amy Winehouse is having to pay her debt for ….well… raunchy living.

Her dad recently announced that the talented but troubled star has developed emphysema. Daddy Winehouse told the press:

“With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes, her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 percent lung capacity. The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her. The doctors have said that if she had continued the way she was going, she could have ended up an invalid—she wouldn’t have been able to breathe.”

If that’s not enough of a wake up call for this girl, she’s doomed. It should also be a big fat reminder to everyone else to never touch drugs. Oh, I dunno… as in EVER.

If you ever feel the least bit tempted, come back here and look at the picture you see at the top of the post. Then go have a Kit Kat. Chocolate does wonders for you and doesn’t turn you into a skankadoo.

In all seriousness, I’m a huge fan of Amy Winehouse’s music and hope she’ll get her stuff together. She’s just 24 for pity’s sake!

Amy WinehouseWhat a total, freakin’ shame that Amy Winehouse can’t somehow get it together. 

I couldn’t like her music any better if my Starbucks card depended on it and I love her  style almost as much.  The hair, the crazy makeup, she’s nothing if not entertaining. When she first apperared on the radar I thought she was an off beat, delicious breath of fresh air – air that, unfortunately, got polluted before any of us even knew what happened.

According to E Online, Amy has backed out of what would have been something that would have been amazing. Her producer, Mark Ronson, told SkyNews that she has stopped working on the new theme song for the latest 007 flick.  Her voice was MADE for a Bond soundtrack and it would have brought all of her fans to their knees.  I’m most definitely a fan of her talent, but I’m losing patience with her decisions.

Come on, girl, get it together!

Her producer, who’s patience has probably been lost in a vast wilderness far longer than mine, went on to spill more bad news.  He said Amy Winehouse is “not ready to record any music” and that it’s going to take “some miracle of science” to finish the two tracks for the upcoming Quantam of Solace.

Amy’s most recent brush with the law found her cooling her stylish heels in jail overnight after slapping a guy in a bar.  Wow…. a guy got slapped in a bar, who’d have thought?   And she’s, what, probably about 90 pounds wet?    Wow, he must’ve seen his life flash before his eyes.

I know, I know… She has problems.  But, frankly it doesn’t seem to me like anyone’s helping her any.  Flippin’ shame about the Bond soundtrack.
