Amy Winehouse is back in the spotlight, after she punched a fan at one of her concerts.This comes just a week after her father told a British tabloid the retro soul singer has pre-emphysema from smoking cigarettes and crack cocaine.
This is really a shame. I think she has a unique talent that could really make an impact on the music scene. Instead, she's making an impact for all of the WRONG reasons.
I'm also worried about the impact she's making on some of her young fans. Where are the good role models, these days? Too many talented young stars are getting sucked in by the pressures of Hollywood and celebrity.
Earlier this year, Amy Winehouse walked a way with an arm full of Grammy Awards. One of my best buddies told me she thought it was wrong for the prestigious Grammy's to reward an out-of-control junkie. I disagreed with her then...but I'm starting to change my mind.
Amy Winehouse's story is reminding me of another fallen star -- Billie Holiday.
We all know how that story ended.
I hope Amy can beat her addictions and turn things around.
What do you think? Is her talent as big as it's hyped up to be?
