I have seen very little of the EMA's, but this I witnessed. I was thinking, if she performs like this and the fans still scream like there's no tomorrow, you know the world is approaching an ultimatum of absolute scavenger behavior. I know this performance is the very most pathetic thing I've seen in an incredibly long time. A made singer with a golden voice singing songs of despair while publicly displaying she doesn't have a clue why she's still breathing...
Even if she doesn't manage to kill herself within a matter of months, her liver and her kidneys might just stop functioning, a heart attack could occur, or she could drink herself into a coma. Worst of all, I do wish that upon her, for her own sake. Amy Winehouse is among the most miserable people walking this earth. Britney's downfall doesn't even come close imo.

Same here. I really don't understand why the media (magazines, Internet, MTV (Awards), etc...) keep giving her so much attention. Controversy sells? Yes, but in her case I'd ignore her.
I'm a high-school teacher and practically all the 15 year-old-girls I give English to really like Amy Winehouse, and me being myself, I can't help but having a class discussion about her. What do they like about her? Her songs? The chorusses? Do they know what she does in "real life"? Etc...
My aim is to let them think with a critical point-of-view, whether it's a singer, actors, politican or something else. I also listen to artists who use drugs, but I never see myself listening to someone like Amy and appreciating her music. Be professional for fuck's sake.
Gangsta rappers aren't exactly the best role-models out there for youngsters, but behaviour like that of Amy Winehouse isn't exactly inspiring either. That's what bothers me the most. They show a drunk/high singer on the MTV Awards like it's normal. Just like they censor gangsta rappers, they should censor her stupid ass too.

I don't see anything wrong with using drugs or being suicidal. At least it's not all phony glamour like most successful female singers.

She's openly displaying how she hates her life. She probably initially had very little reason to do so: she's a very talented singer and she has made it to the top doing that. Yet her personality is so incredibly weak, she forgets to enjoy her victory and instead she became this manically depressed drug addict. The power of her success and her achievements mean nothing to her anymore; she's now a savage, escaped from all cultural guidance society offers her, yet she does let the very same norms (such as the unwritten rules of loneliness) put her down. That's as stupid and depraved as it gets. That's what's wrong with doing drugs. That's how dangerous it is to try to escape from society.

Did y'all see that incident when she received her award?

Yeah, she came up on stage, looked around for a while with a look on her face of "where am I right now?" only to then walk off the stage without saying a word. Unbelievable. Like I said, they should ignore her. Someone who's ungrateful for success like her doesn't deserve the attention.
-
Who exactly are you 2 guys to tell her to enjoy life? It's a god-given right to hate life and get fucked up... can't hate on anyone for doing it.

I don't think anyone's threatening her at gun point, telling her to start enjoying life for once and for all. I didn't tell her to do that, and I don't think that's what Crafty implied either.
She can be as unhappy as she wants to be, as can you. But does she want to? Why should she? Why would anyone long for unhappiness? Don't tell me she's being like this on purpose.

you cant hate anyone for hating life, but its unreasonable to portray to kids that its cool to be generally suicidal.

money and success dont buy happiness...real tlak

Cocaine and hard liquor don't bring happiness, but how about success?

Lol so now everybody who's famous is supposed to be a role-model for children? If so, there are a lot of people who can get dissed for being bad role-models... even worse ones at that...

Where's your reasoning? You're acting as if everybody could just be happy and in a good ass mood all the time... ignorant shit.

Of course, but people who lack money and success tend to think that those things are the solution to all problems, which couldn't be farther from the truth - sometimes exactly those things can bring worse problem than one want to imagine. Not everybody can handle it.

Heroin brings happiness... fact.

I know I am. All it takes is reasoning, relativism and thought. Assuming Amy would want to be happy, she's obviously doing a very bad job at all of this because in essence she does have all the makings.

Heroin destroys all sense of reality. Are you a kantist or something? Just because heroin makes you believe you are happy, doesn't mean it actually brings happiness. You can only fool reality for as long as you're on top of that silk pink cloud.

I think this discussion is about the connection between success, fame and happiness, more than about anything else. Judging from how it turned out, this might as well be a Train Of Thought-discussion.
Anyway, my point still stands: Amy wouldn't have been so unhappy if it weren't for her shaking off the restraints of society. Being a self-centered individual (or a savage on crack, if you wish) is no good to anyone, as it takes away all sense of relativism.
-
who ever thinks that Hard drugs is good and make u happy is an Idiot, that type of shit takes u away, it makes u live in your own bubble and takes u away from reality, of course at the end the person will feel happy because she's in her own world but at the end is she acting right, and is she happy no!! plus she will always need to be off something to be happy, when usually happiness comes NATURALLY!!
-
damn, that sucks for her.
so much talent imo, wasted.
Hopefully she can recover, it's sad to see artists with so much talent drown themselves in drugs.

Happiness is a FEELING. Whatever makes you FEEL happy, brings you happiness. Whether it takes you away from reality or not. I mean, what's reality anyways? Other people's perceptions of yours? I can absolutely understand why someone caught up in the industry would want to escape from society. Nothing but fake phony money- and spotlight-hungry "friends", relatives that didn't give a crap about you in the past starting to call you on any given occasion, etc. I can understand if somebody is willing to take a break from that shit. You're saying all it takes is relativism, reasoning and thought to be happy and in a good mood? Oh dear. You must be good at lying to yourself.

should be the poster girl for not doing heroin, that was fuckin embarrasing, she forgets the words and shit aswell
i have always wanted her to die, although the song back to black is pretty damn good
-
thats what heroin does to you.

Honestly? I've felt Amy Whinehouse has got talent behind her singing and the songs she performs over, they all contain catchy samples from back in the day where you'll think to yourself 'Wow i remember this little bit from that song' and so on. If i took the time and actually D/L (Not buy, D/L ;D) her album i would defently take a listen, yes she's lead a fucked up life, not to mention the media is always all over her 24/7 with whatever she does, but you'll gotta admit.
....What she does, she does best. Her singing, some love it, some hate it, the ones that love it recongise the talent behind it, the ones that hate it just hate it i guess. I'm tempted to go digging for an album now lmao 8) If i could speak to her myself and do something to radically change her world for the better, it would be to quit the drugs and alcohol, she's got major potential as a role model if she dropped all that.
Infact that'd lead to a decent part towards a life story via a song/album or book.
They try to make me go to rehab, but i say no, no NO! :laugh:
-
^^ Her latest album (Back To Black) is really nice. Well worth downloading, but don't bother ordering it to "support the artist" because she'll only end up buying drugs from your money :-\.

I don't agree with you; You almost make it look like that anyone who has a succesfull career should be happy and that's it's an easy choise to be happy. There is a step between succes and happiness though, and that's step is the personal interpretation. You can't tell how she's interpreting everything that's happening to her. And do you even know a thing about her personal life? Or should a succesfull career makes your whole life good?
