Amy Winehouse

In all the weeks of press, Amy Winehouse has certainly and most rightly received a backlash from fans. For the past few months we have seen her strolling and rolling through the streets on London with her husband, high on drugs and as fragile as my mums precious ceramic plant pots. She has disgraced her family and has ignored the support her fans have been giving her and continued to be snapped looking like she’s been dragged through a hedge backwards. Don’t get me wrong I am a huge fan however she has received a huge amount of support from her fans who have been spending hard earned………or, student loan, on going to see her perform or in most cases, Not!.
On November 14th at her Birmingham gig she finally endured a well deserved backlash as she was booed by her fans after a dismal performance of fumbling and in some instances even tumbling. The audience had in fact been patient with the drunk star until they finally tired of her when she made a tribute to her accused GBH offender hubby Blake Fielder-Civil. However from the reports, I am wondering whether she was drunk as she said to her booing audience ‘Let me tell you something. First of all, if you’re booing you’re a mug for buying a ticket’. Credit where credit is due, this was a truly hilarious and legendry comment to have made, she was in some respects perfectly right to have said considering that her problems have been known to everyone, maybe this is what should have been expected, however under the circumstances and after the support she has received this though true, should not have been said. Winehouse has most defiantly lost her Birmingham fans; and probably the Manchurians to!.
In all seriousness however, Winehouse does have issues, but she will not resolve her issues until she gets this backlash from fans, if I was in her situation and after all the bad press I knew that I was still loved by fans I wouldn’t bother to change either and so hopefully she may now realise that she is starting to lose her once so supportive fans to and maybe this will tempt her to get the help she needs.
I cannot say that she is not a good role model fro young people because I strongly believe that fame and money exert themselves in different ways and in Winehouse, its happened in a bad way just like Britney Spears and others along the way, Its upto her to get help and hopefully she will and in the mean time it is also upto her fans to show her that what she is doing to herself in appearing on the front of the newspaper, like a scene from Gladiator, is not right.
Get well Amy, you cheeky cow.
