Amy Winehouse is afraid of losing her gorgeous looks

Through all that mess I still see a very pretty girl.

And is she anorexic or just an addict, or both?

She does have one good thing going for her though. Because of her enormous talent and the fact that she's a huge money making machine, she'll always have a camp of people keeping her in the spotlight and protecting her from the real world. Millions of people aren't that fortunate, and have to face their demons while still living near the people that they used to get high with. So I'm hoping she uses that advantage and gets clean.

^^ That's true, but it can probably also be a double-edged sword. Having all those 'yes' people around and all that money at her disposal might make it even harder to get/stay clean.

Hey sparkly!

Exactly. I love her music. It's a shame what her lifestyle is, but that doesn't change the fact that she can sing.

I don't think she's ugly either. She could look very pretty if she wanted to.

ITA.

Yup.

and even here:

She's something different, not nessesary a bad thing.

before all she needed was to fix her teeth. even her body was nice looking before the drugs caught up.

Actually Amy was once an attractive woman, in her pre crack/meth days. Sadly though, worrying about her looks now is like closing the barn door after the horse is gone.

Meth will do that.

Even more frightening:

She used to be gorgeous.

I'm sorry, but... WHAT gorgeous looks?

Hey Sweetness!

Yup, me too. And if they happen to o.d. and killover, its their loss. Another talented singer is just waiting in the wings. Meanwhile, we get some good music.

Exactly! If I had to stop to listen to music by (former) drug addicts, I couldn't listen to most of my favourite artists anymore. It's a shame that a lot of them decided at least at times to let their addictions rule their lives, but in the end I care for their work not their private lives, I don't feel that it is any of my business.

AMEN. It's a sad phenomenon. Those are the times when I start to think that there must be something true to this whole "Tortured Artist" crap.

I think that the drugs are only a part of Amy's issues. It seems that she has pretty severe issues with body image and eating disorders, and that is something a lot of woman probably can relate to. I like that she is not "cookie-cutter" beautiful, but society as a whole probably sees it differently. I wish her well and hope she manages to record another album.

I don't get the title here.
Amy didn't even mention the word "gorgeous". She said that she really needs to quit drugs 'cause she'll lose her looks and her scars might never heal etc. so why all the laughing..
I'm pretty sure that she knows she's not looking her best, she's just don't know how to change all the mess around her. she's sick, du'h.
