Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse, who was once a  common English girl and who's father is a cab driver is now a 25 year old lady well known as one of the top British jazz singers have made herself a very popular young music artist of all time through her unique and very talented voice. Many people most especially the youth have been inspired by her music because it composes of her true to life story and about love. However, due to drug addiction, Amy Winehouse has experienced tough times in her life concerning about her music, her personal realtionship with people and her health. Many people criticized her for having terrible performances in most of her concerts either in Europe or in the United States. Because of that, most of her contracts were cancelled. She also had a terrible divorce with her husband commonly known as Blake. Alhough there were so many negative feedback concerning about her, Amy Winehouse still didn't show much attention to the media instead she had drowned herself more into addiction and continued performing the way she normally does when she in on drugs or under the influence of alcohol. This behavior has drawn the media's attention more to Amy and the public became even more curious on her to the point that her manager, her family and her drug counsellor asked the public to stop buying her album for her not to be able to spend her earnings on drugs.  Let's hope for Amy Winehouse's healthy return to the world of entertainment.
