That is why it is so sad to see her on such a fast downward spiral. She is pissing it all away with the drugs and her deadbeat husband. Has she been a Britney (with no singing skills) it would not be so sad to see her in the position she is in. But the fact is that she has some insane talent. And she doesn't seem to care.

I listened. Not impressed. A colleague of mine in NYC who is completely unknown has a voice that would blow you away. Every time we do a show, she floors me. She's also smart, funny, compassionate, plays the guitar, is a wordsmith, is adorable, but she's floundering in obscurity.

Winehouse isn't the WORST I've heard, but she's overrated. She's a retread. Meh.
