She HAS talent - of that there is no doubt, but she lives at the ragged edge and this is not uncommon with people with her lifestyle.
Ultimately, it's her choice and if she chooses to waste what she has, then pity her and learn from her mistakes.
She's not the first to burn out and waste a life and (unfortunately) she won't be the last.
I'm lucky in that I have a brother who went to the edge but stepped back and became a truly decent person. He made a wrong choice when young, and now suffers for it, but I wouldn't change who he is now for the world.
Back to the original point - where she fails is that she (apparently) has no friends willing to tell her the truth (friends tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear)

Yeah that's a fair point but the grammy's have recently been the stomping ground of American Hip Hop artist's. It had to be a fantastic Album for a young Jewish girl from North London heavily influenced by some of the great female Jazz greats to "go against the grain" and change that.

She needs a friend like me 
....... I am the first person to tell my mates they are being complete t1ts when they act like it.
Issue is that she likes doing drugs and getting lashed and hangs about with the same type of people..... she does not put herself in the correct surroundings that are condusive to becoming clean

It is a great shame that she has ruined her life and almost certainly done permanent damage to herself. As was said above, it is an excellent display of the mess that narcotics make when you get hooked.
The authorities are not helping her by taking a soft approach to the offences she has been seen getting into.
It is time that there was a real effort made to educate young children about the trouble you will build for yourself by getting into narcotics. When you look at it, is it really worth it in later life? Just sitting back and letting it all go on is a gross dereliction of responsibilty by the authorities.

No, but if you go round insulting people, smacking people, trashing hotel rooms, spitting at people etc..... then you should be charged for 'assault whilst off your ****' or something and that carries a heavier penalty.... such as arm amputation

Anyone else getting sick of the fluffy pillow treatment of Amy Whinehouse?
Everytime we see this crackfiend on TV, the presenters bend over backwards to make sure they don't suggest any drug use, instead using words like "feeling poorly, rushed to hospital".
Lol wot?!
The woman is a hardcore drug addict, what kind of picture are we painting for the younger generation if someone of this status is being treated with kid gloves instead of doing the right thing and labelling her a crackhead and then doing something about this?
But she personifies the life of excess, young and successful with money so ends up partying a bit too had on crack/heroine/cocaine/etc etc.

All been said before, she gets enough attention already and frankly, it's a waste of energy!

By all means, when they attack other people and property, take it to court, but just because someone takes drugs they shouldn't automatically be locked up. What's the difference to drinking 5-6 pints on a friday / saturday evening, really?

But she seems to get away with offences that she should be punished for appropriately. If she always gets off lightly it will mean nothing to her.

Such a waste of decent talent, if only she could sort herself out she would be great.
At the end of the day she is really no different to many of the other stars in the world, it is just they seem to like to highlight her problems more than others, many she sells more papers or gets the ratings up, but she is really only one of many with a similar problem.
Fame who would really want it...

Everytime I hear Rehab I roll about on the floor laughing, the first time I heard it I though it was Vic Reeves doing one of his Shooting Stars pub songs
