Ok I do have major family problems with a cocaine addict for a brother who is making our life HELL.
So I may be a "tad" sensitive about these drug taking fuckers who make millions and are adored by gullable young people.

But surely its got to be stopped!

She is totally out of it on BBC2 at glastonbury and she was a disgrace on the Nelson Mandela concert yesterday too.

WASTE OF OXYGEN

Agreed. For her own sake as much as anything else.

The press scrum permanently surrounding her must be adding to her fuckedness massively. She needs some space to get herself together.

BigGitDad · 28/06/2008 21:53

I agree Lilly, seeing Fern Briten(?) crawl up her arse last night was sickening! (metephorically speaking) She is totally delusional about her own self importance and glamourising the whole drug scene.

unknownrebelbang · 28/06/2008 21:54

Agreed - but mainly for her own sake.

Sympathy for having to deal with an addict. It's tough.

ChukkyPig · 28/06/2008 21:56

Waste of oxygen implies that you want her to die.

That's a bit harsh surely?

lilymolly · 28/06/2008 22:00

Perhaps a little harsch - but try dealing with a durg addict in the family.
I sometimes wish my brother was dead

just watching her on bbc2 bow, her skin is awful, spots all over the place. She is a total mess.

BigGitDad · 28/06/2008 22:02

now not bow!
she cannot dance either!

LazyLinePainterJane · 28/06/2008 22:03

Well, aside from performing at gigs (which is her job) she really can't do anything about the media attention. What is sad is that the nation seems to care so much about what she does.

OracleInaCoracle · 28/06/2008 22:05

watching it now. its disgraceful. she is a shambles and the beeb has a social responsibility to make a stand against this sickening trend.

Moomin · 28/06/2008 22:06

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it's cringeworthy. If I was her mum or dad I'd run on and carry her off

lilymolly · 28/06/2008 22:06

the thing is she can't perform at her job
she sounds dreadful!

Can anyone explain to me how Amy Winehouse manages to drink so much an stay so thin? Yes i know drugs are involved but still - alcohol makes normal people ravionous! How not so Winehouse?

pattymc · 28/06/2008 22:07

she looks like a dancing granny.

Moomin · 28/06/2008 22:07

IT's a shame for the other musicians and singers who are really professional and deserve better than to be part of this

OracleInaCoracle · 28/06/2008 22:07

but if she doesnt eat then she wont gain weight!

dizzydixies · 28/06/2008 22:08

look at the state of her - is she that close to the singers on purpose do you think - incase she falls over or something

what a waste

lilymolly · 28/06/2008 22:08

quite Moomin!!

LazyLinePainterJane · 28/06/2008 22:11

BUT lily, you might see that she can't perform (and me too) but evidently, a lot of people do. And while some of them might be there to see some sort of car crash in the form of entertainment, a lot of them will say that she is still good. I mean, she's not great, but I've heard much much worse.

And that is all that matters in terms of "her job". Unfortunately, we can't get rid of singers and performers because they are a bit shit. Just think of all the Coldplay we would be better off without missing out on

BigGitDad · 28/06/2008 22:12

can anyone tell me is her hairdo a wig? She keeps grabbing it like it going to fall off?!
What a shit dancer, yet those black guys are sooo cool! Mrs BGD was salivating over their dancing last night. (me, I was just very jealous!!)

ChukkyPig · 28/06/2008 22:12

Yes she is fucked. She is still performing. She is enormously talented. She is in tune and doing her stuff despite the occasional stagger.

She is a drug addict, her husband is in prison, she looks very ill and painfully thin. No young people look at her and think "oh yes I'll be a drug addicted anorexic". They go to kate moss for that.

Personally I feel sorry for her. I want to look after her.

LazyLinePainterJane · 28/06/2008 22:13

I think it's a hairpiece attached to her hair. I remember her making a comment on Buzzcocks about how it was all her own hair because "she bought it"

bonio · 28/06/2008 22:13

but you are perpetuating her media coverage

BigGitDad · 28/06/2008 22:13

Get real! Coldplay don't play gigs off their heads and they don't disrespect Nelson Mandela by changing the lyrics to that of her boyfriend etc.

morningpaper · 28/06/2008 22:14

Oh I'm watching

I think she's GREAT

Fantastic voice

Her backing singers/dancers are having a whale of a time

Her dress isn't a very good choice though, I'm amazed she can breathe in it

Blandmum · 28/06/2008 22:14

I just want her to comb her farking hair

It isn;t hard, is it?
