shepherdlass Amy Winehouse, what a waste? (48) RE: Amy Winehouse, what a waste? 10 Nov 07


Interesting singer, interesting songs, interesting image (which I've only raised because it's already been made an issue in this thread) .... Role model? Since when did we judge musicians on their suitability as role models? From Schubert to Billie Holiday to Jimi Hendrix there've always been those who are mad, bad and dangerous to know ... where's the problem? Surely only the very deluded think that aping the dangerous lifestyle of a "difficult" star will make them just as talented?

The really bad role models are the likes of Victoria Beckham, whose success can really convince young women that all you need in life is an eating disorder, a lot of cosmetic surgery and an equally rich and famous husband - no talent or real effort required.

I say good luck to Amy W - hope she kicks the habit before it kicks her.
