Amy Winehouse Acknowledges Her Life Is A Mess
Acceptance is the first step isn't it? Amy Winehouse told The Daily Mirror that she sees herself for what she's become...and doesn't like it. This revelation comes after Amy watched her Goddaughter, Dionne Bromfield on stage performing for the first time.
"When I look at Dionne she reminds me of myself. I used to be this little girl who liked Celine Dion and singing, this beautiful sweet girl with innocent dreams.
"Look where I am now. Look what happened to my dreams. This isn’t a life I’m a mess, look at me. But this girl has everything ahead of her. She’s so beautiful and she reminds me so much of myself.
"This beautiful happy girl, she is so much like I used to be. I don’t want to leave her alone. I can’t believe what has happened to me. I am so sad."
I hope Amy takes this and runs with it. Cleans up, removes negative forces in her life, and becomes someone that will stick around for a while. Her style is very much needed in the industry. She brings something fresh and different and I would hate for it to be wasted for another moment.
i completely agree with that!!!

Oh Amy walk into the light honey. You have a gift that is beautiful. Do not let your vices over come you. Sigh I listen to your CD all the time. Get it together for yourself and your fans. The only person close to a sound like Amy is Shar Jones and the Dap Kings. I completely agree wit you its time for Amy to do whats best for her and clean up.

I agree. She has a lot to live for and should try to save herself. Her parents should have a long talk with Brits dad. But that is a good first step. I'm glad to hear she is at least acknowledging she has a problem.
Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Jimmy Hendrix all died at the age of 27. Amy has a couple years left. Let's hope she gets her act together soon.

She is nowhere near in the same category as Janis Jim Kurt and Jimmy.
oh give me a break. stop being sad and do something about it. it's such a bloody shame that people like amy, who have serious drug problems have the funds and family support (and the support of the entire world) to go into rehab and yet she chooses to waste away and yet there are people who would love for the opportunity to go to rehab and better themselves but simply don't have that option in life.
you're an adult. get your act together already and stop being such a waste of talent and life. not once ounce in my feels sorry for her.

Yeah.... i'll believe it when I see it.
IT'S JIMI
Why doesn't ANYONE call her mom on this one?? In an interview she said that Amy was always a difficult child and once when they had to put their cat to sleep and take Amy to the dentist she wondered if they should have put Amy to sleep instead. WHAT KIND OF A MOTHER SAYS THAT???? Then the publicity w h o r e sent an open letter to AMy and it was so cold and calculated. Yes, Amy most likely did have a learning disability among other things but she didn't have any love growing up, she's screaming and hungry for love. What a typically dysfunctional family, where the parents get away with horrible things and the child gets blamed. She has no tools to deal with her problems, A. because of her learning disability and B. because she didn't receive any love. Enough said,
Why do you have to put blame on anyone? You don't know Amy and you weren't there. And it's still someone's personal choice to take drugs. You can't blame that on anyone else.
Either way, it's good to see she might actually get better.
wow. that's a bunch of BS. lol, stop projecting your issues onto others and giving excuse after excuse as to why she is the way she is. she's human, and part of being human is having the ability to make choices. she chose this life. she chose to feel the way she does, and she wont change until she's tired of her current path.
I hope this is a step in the right direction for Amy and that she really takes this to heart and does what she needs to do.
Most of us are lucky enough to be well adjusted and not struggle with mental illness or addiction, but for those that have it's not as easy as just quitting. There's a lot of emotional components to addiction that make it extremely difficult to get over - that's why so many wonderful, talented people die from them. It's like telling an anorexic to just eat already, or an alcoholic to just never drink again - you can't just flip a switch and get better. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, and most addicts feel so hopeless that they don't think they'll ever be happy or healthy again, and they're afraid to give up the only thing they have, their addiction. Everyone has their own opinion so of course I understand if you don't feel bad for her or whatever, but try and be a little more compassionate. As my father always says, there but for the grace of God go I.
I absolutely love her music and relate to her in so many ways - I hope she can hang in there and clean up! I love you Amy!!!
Whatever, Amy. You've said time and again you're a mess and you still refuse to do anything about it. Once I see this woman walk into a rehab facility HERSELF and check herself in for 6 months will I start to trust what she says.
Amen, Moi Deux! "Wah, wah, boohoocakes! Poor me! Poor me!" The fun from drug use has stopped, Winehouse CAN'T get high anymore, and she's realized how her looks have taken a downward spiral. It's called self-pity, and it's not sexy, Mrs. Fielder-Civil.

I second that..I am wishing the best for her..she is beautiful (look at her highschool pic) before the drugs got her..and I still want to hear her songs for many years to come she has a great style..hope she will clean up the acts..the drugs and hitting people things, I mean.
EVERYONE is responsible for their actions. So is Amy.
It is not too late for her to change her ways. Even if it's a "disease", whatever, it's fine. But anyone with a disease, addiction or bad habit, has the CHOICE to do something about it.
I ask: what are you going to do about it Amy?
Until you make the choice that you really want (as someone said "the light"), your life will be going downhill to nowhere (i.e. DEATH).
She can just go to NA. She doesn't need to go to rehab. But she does need to go to NA EVERY DAY.

Sorry, but I believe this about as much as I believed the Bigfoot finding. Either her publicist wrote this in the hopes it would keep her from getting canned by her label, or her dad did. Either way, she's had all the sympathy she's going to get from me. At this point, I just want her to go away. Good singing voice or not, Im done with her. Ill spend my money on other things, Im not going to fuel her drug habit.
Thank you for an honest post. I am saddened by Amy Winehouse's current state and by the incredibly hateful nature of the press she is receiving. My sincere prayer is that she has hit bottom now and will start to overcome the habits causing her suffering.
This is the work of CRYSTAL METH - ICE – METHAMPHETAMINE. It is INSTANTLY addictive & it ravages its users in a very short period of time. They age prematurely really, really fast - their teeth rot & fall out. The way back is EXTREMELY hard.
Often people addicted to methamphetamine will also be addicted to heroin. They need the powerful sedative to bring them down. I think Amy is addicted to both.
Amy can make it but she has to WANT to live, and realise that her current life-style is not just aging her, but it is very quickly killing her & will rob her of her dreams to be happily married and have lots of children.
Come on Amy, you CAN do this!!
Winehouse is the most disgusting human being I've ever seen. She should do us all a favor and kill herself. It would be the most unself act of them all...
All you fans could listen to her music, get tatoos, cry yourselves to sleep, and immortalize her forever. Everyone else can move on to the next trainwreck.
