Amy Winehouse

August 30, 2007 @ 07:31

I found another "dad" story to be very amusing.

Several months ago my good friend Darren introduced me to British singer Amy Winehouse, who's only 23 years old.

She'a fabulously talented and her latest album called "Back to Black", featuring the hit single "Rehab" has sold over a million copies despite her not getting a lot of mainstream airplay.

I have the CD and whenever I play it at the trailer, it never fails that someone asks me who it is. It's infectious.

Problem is, Amy has a severe drug and alcohol problem and it's become a major issue in her family, especially for her father and father in law.

Her dad has almost given up. He says he's tried to get her help but she doesn't want it.

He says there seems to be only one solution for Amy, and that's for her to hit rock bottom before she finally decides she doesn't want to "do this" anymore.

A tough stance for a father to take because it must be excruciating to have a kid with such talent only to watch her attempt to throw it all away.

Her father in law has a different solution and he made it public this week. He says everyone should boycott her records until she gets off the junk.

Giles Fielder-Civil says Amy and his son Blake both are in abject denial over their cocaine and heroine use. They think they're nothing more than recreational users when it's painfully obvious they aren't.

Two fathers who are watching their kids literally kill themselves when there's so much to live for.

First of all, she's already said that she does not want to record a third album. That's a shame, but according to her, don't expect more music regardless of her state.. because she says she wants to get preggers. Probably something she just said to the rags to let them have something to print at the time, who cares.

Second of all, how is being played on FLOW not mainstream airplay? FLOW is Top 4o Hip Hop and R&B while EDGE is Top 40 Alternative.

If the EDGE doesn't play Amy Winehouse, boo hoo for their listeners.

Amy gets mainstream airplay across the world.. and of course is bigger in the UK where they GET IT.

Take The Fratellis. The EDGE now plays the first single, the UK is playing the third. On the flip side, I hear Canadian bands on UK stations all the time.

Now let's take a look at Calvin Harris. Album released in July in the UK, Septermber in North America.

Besides, I don't know who uses mainstream radio to find new music anymore anyway.

If you guys like Amy, try her MySpace, and welcome to the new millenium.

Amy Winehouse is disgusting. No doubt she can sing, but I for one don't want to hear it. Terrible music.
