my bet is on Brit.

My old age is showing... Don't know Amy Winehouse... but do know Eartha Kitt, Billy Holiday and Ella... gotta google her...

What would I do without my much younger, worldly friends here!!!!?????

Mine is on Amy - Released today in Britain - Video of here snorting Ecstasy and smoking crack from a party on Friday nite. She is a bigger trainwreck that Brit right now. Too Bad - she is one talented gal.

Oy. I may have to change my bet. How SAD!

I just downloaded Frank - I cannot get enough of this girls music.

Do you know if she's recording again?

I'm so sorry to hear about the foot - but as it's happened to me before, from (wait for it, wait for it ...... TMI) .................sitting on the loo reading a good book and then trying to get up and falling over

the visual of you leopard crawling to the front door was so funny that I didn't even sympathise with you before - sorry Sissie

I LOVE LOVE LOVE her--my favorite song right now is "You Know I'm No Good." It has one of the best lines in it..."Then sniff me out like I was Tanqueray"

She's just AWESOME!

Please please write a review Mike - I just love "You Know I'm No Good" and when a big burly builder sits in his white van next to you at a traffic light with his window rolled down (it was summer) and sings "Valerie" at the top of his voice you have to smile

Just love Billy Holiday and Eartha Kitt too - I was sooooo born in the wrong era.....

with a twist of the Ronnetes thrown in? You know I'm no good is one of my ringtones

my bet is on whoever is closer to that fatal age of 27. That's when all the greats seem to go. Janis Kurt a few others that I can't think of on the spot.

And Amy is one of the greats. She needs to dump Blake

I'm sure that would help her out.

but she'll say NO NO NO celebrity spotlight can be so brutal

Gwen,

ok I'm gonna fess up. I was sitting on the couch and I was marveling about how I could now CROSS MY LEGS. When I got up to answer the door, my foot was asleep and I CRUMPLED and I had no CRUMPLE zones.

PRIDE GOETH BEFORE A FALL.

Wow, I 've heard so much about her drug addiction and not about her music. I didn't even know she was singer...thought she was a british actress at first. I might have to check her out...unfortunatly what I see in the tabloids and news had prohibited me in the past of checking her out but since ya'll give her a stamp of approval I will check her out! Thanks! Love good music!

And a smidge of Etta James. "At Last" is one of my all time favorite songs.
