Someone please go on Okayplayer and ask ?uestlove why he's so keen to promote the career of a racist. That sounds like it'd be a pretty good troll thread.

Y'know since Phil won't play ball I'm ready to start a "send me on trolling missions to comedy messageboards" thread.

So, anyroad, she's been dashed to hospital after fainting.

But you know when the story is told and they do the recap on things that have happened recently? That takes about 40% of the total space...

.. and concludes with ...


The singer's hits include Rehab - including the refrain "they tried to make me go to rehab/ I said no, no, no" - and Back to Black, the title track from her current album.

Singer Amy Winehouse has the lung disease emphysema, possibly caused by smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes, her father has said.

Mitch Winehouse told the Sunday Mirror his daughter has early stage emphysema and an irregular heartbeat.

"Doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her," he said.

Emphysema is a progressive lung condition which leaves sufferers struggling for breath.

"She's got emphysema - it's in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe," Mr Winehouse said.

'Stay away'

"With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She's got 70% lung capacity."

Mr Winehouse also called for his daughter's drug dealers and circle of drug addict pals to stay away from her.

"I'm saying to those drug dealers, and they know who they are, if they are supplying crack to Amy, then they've got to take responsibility," he said.

"I don't want her hanging out with her mates like Pete Doherty either. What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her?"

A spokesman for Winehouse said: "If that's what Mitch says, that's what he says. It sounds right."

The 24-year-old fell ill last week after fainting at her London home.

She is due to perform at the Glastonbury Festival and Nelson Mandela concert this weekend.

Emphysema is caused by gradual damage to the structure of the lungs, which makes it harder to exhale.

It usually affects older people as it is due to culmulative damage over a long period, such as a lifetime of smoking.

God help us if she dies an early death, she will be immortalized in the Canon forever.

i.e., Kurt Cobain with a vagina.

She has emphysema and she's almost blind. Just had to say that.

It's our fault! We bought her albums and gave her more money than some disaster-prone twentysomethings know what to do with, just like cobain and the other young dead stars :-(

StanM, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 04:33 (fifteen years ago) link

disaster prone is disaster prone whether you got cash flow or not

True.

I love Wino definite classic. She already acts like some old lovelorn jazz singer with big hair and an even bigger voice who sits around inhaling cigarettes and drinking whiskey while singing in some old dive. Cliche but I loves her.

VeronaInTheClub, Thursday, 26 June 2008 17:26 (fifteen years ago) link

i coulda sworn she acts more like a total fucking trainwreck

this is true tho.
Wino atm is a fiendish crack hag that needs to fix herself up sharpish but she'll come back. I love how she's all ghetto prison wife "BLAAAAAAAAAAAAKE"
She's a cartoon.

I ask her about Doherty. "We're just good friends," she says. "I asked Pete to do a concept EP, and he made this face, he looked at me like I'd pooed on the floor. He wouldn't do it. We're just really close."

Amy Winehouse 'lashes out' at fan

Herman G. Neuname, Saturday, 28 June 2008 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link

i love her. even though all the 'blake' stage patter is a bit grating now and she still doesnt sing well live. id like her band to not dress up so nostalgically though, just to make her act look a bit less retro. i dont get why she seems to have disowned the first album though - would be nice to hear songs from there live.

titchyschneiderMk2, Sunday, 29 June 2008 08:36 (fifteen years ago) link

^^^I know right?
Frank was pretty good and I love 'Stronger Than Me' and 'Fuck Me Pumps', Amy then was far wittier and acerbic whereas on Back To Black she's just a miserable old...something or other.

Oh I think I'm in LDN then, I might go and watch the media circus...

oh yuk, plz tell me that is not a chunk of lung

HI DERE, Sunday, 29 June 2008 16:25 (fifteen years ago) link

i dont wanna hear her moan about media intrusion now, not when she blabbers on about blake in between every song at the concert. shes like the british soul version of odb.

titchyschneiderMk2, Sunday, 29 June 2008 16:26 (fifteen years ago) link

She can sing stunningly live but just watched her Glastonbury performance and it was horrible, horrible, horrible.

Alba, Sunday, 29 June 2008 16:38 (fifteen years ago) link

"shes like the british soul version of odb."

actually that was a bit generous.

titchyschneiderMk2, Sunday, 29 June 2008 16:45 (fifteen years ago) link

During her hour-long set, the 24-year-old star spat out her chewing gum on stage and criticised Jay-Z for not knowing his song lyrics.

She said: 'Jay-Z's got some front to come here with tunes you don’t even remember.'

don't think that's what she meant.

banriquit, Sunday, 29 June 2008 20:47 (fifteen years ago) link

Anybody watch her slurring the words to "Free Nelson Mandela" on his 90th Birthday concert (on VH1 in the states). I like her anyway.

curmudgeon, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 04:16 (fifteen years ago) link

1st pic up looks like Pob's Playtime.

she should have done racist friend by the specials, based on that youtube vid of her.
