REALLY? Can a person look THAT old while being THAT young? Holy shit! The most shocking thing about this article, to me, was her age. 24 – really? REALLY?

Page Tue, 03 Jun 2008 03:31:15 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=12095#comment-41238 All of us can make armchair diagnoses about Winehouse's addiction. There are plenty of thoughtful, well-meaning posts in here. Yeah, I know I make cracks about her, but that video of the performance bought back painful memories. IMHO, it showed an addict desperately trying to hang on and actually give her all, but failing miserably. She had a 'sore throat' from smoking crack, and was CLEARLY coming down off of it, too. The disgraceful part is that her management, and PR firm are dragging this physically and mentally troubled young lady, out in front of a microphone. Winehouse was sick, filthy (look at her 'alleged' bandaged right hand), and incoherent. Even some of the loonier fans are having a hard time supporting her. They're trying like hell, but even they are starting to give up the fight. Anna, you are so right. To have this sick woman performing for one of the greatest human rights warriors, is at best, troubling. If she's REMOTELY high, Winehouse may be vilified for years.

I'm not being snide, I'm asking because I don't know. Can you be addicted to substances and NOT have "issues" that caused it in the first place?

Poor dear obviously has mental issues, the likes of which cannot be resolved by a routine inpatient rehab facility. (Or by daddy stepping in and putting his foot down.) The self-mutilations on her arms, the desperate, co-dependent relationship with her husband Blake, the self-medication with hard drugs . . . it all points to deeper psychological issues that need to be confronted and addressed by Amy, herself. This is a profoundly depressed woman living her life recklessly, because she has no appreciation for herself, or her own self-worth. If she was strapped down and throughly detoxed tomorrow, poor bitch would still be a wreck. Sure, cleaning out her system would be a step in the right direction from a sociological and neurological point of view, she still needs to address the issues that compelled her to use in the first place. Unfortunately, I don't think Amy is willing to face those issues anytime soon. It's sad, but I still hope that eventually she'll come to the realization that she's worth more than an abusive relationship and a life clouded by excess drug use. People were willing to give me the benefit of the doubt, so I feel compelled to offer it to her, as well.

Even if she cleaned up her act like, yesterday, I'd be really surprised if she ever got her voice back how it was before. She's completely mangled it.
