is she shambolic now, then? i saw her a couple of times around the first album, and she was great - looking forward to seeing her again (lex, are you going to the nme show?)
i think ghostface just drops in a verse of his, keeping most of hers, but i don't have my copy to hand... Lex is right though, the original is better.

Channel 4 has just shown the documentary, indeed it is very sad. Reminded me of when my best friend David worked in the bookstore at Camden Market, and I often used to wander down there of a Sunday, it was walking distance from where I lived at the time. I'd hang out in the shop for a while (Adam Ant was a regular) until he closed up and then we'd go out for some beers. Usually a LOT of beers! It must have been summer, because we'd generally start off at the Lock Tavern, not a bar I've ever had any affection for but it did (and does) have the advantage of an outdoor beer garden area - anyway, Amy Winehouse would often be there (I almost called her Amy but have no right to such familiarity). She wasn't totally 'Camdenized' yet, so it must have been between her 1st and 2nd albums and before that baldy junkie prick she married had got his claws fully in her. Anyway, as the light failed, me and David would probably head off to the Enterprise, or somewhere, and she'd no doubt go off and do 'the Camden thing'. I'm not even sure why I'm mentioning all this, it's not like I ever even spoke to the girl. I probably saw her in the Hawley Arms, now I come to think of it, we did use to venture in there occasionally. Now, David lives in Edinburgh and, if I decide to catch the 253 bus to work in the morning, I pass a sub-Banksy wall painting of Amy Winehouse - Camden's version of the Edith Cavell Memorial. Have I ever mentioned before how much I detest Camden?

Tony Bennett gets almost inadvertently comical when he keeps repeating his "true jazz singer" schtick. OTOH his line that "Life teaches you how to live it, if you live long enough" was great, probably the most heartbreaking sentiment in the whole movie in relation to the subject.

Her father is exploitive but I think you could make a strong case that she might be alive today if she had never met Felder.

Considering how she was all about the music, there's not much about music. It was disappointing that they didn't include even one complete song performance. Just 40 second snippets.

Also based on the events in the film, I don't even think that's true -- the doc believed it was mostly alcohol + bulimia that killed her, which were both problems before him. Heroin doesn't even take that much toll on the body -- addicts who die mostly do so because of overdose, dirty needles or just the junkie lifestyle. She kicked heroin and crack after he was put in prison and even had a brief improvement before spiraling down again. So I don't really think Fielder killed her.

Yeah, to me it seemed they were presenting the case that it was the pressures of fame that killed her, and the alchohol she was using as an escape from that was the physical manifestation.

Certainly I can remember seeing her perform slightly erraticly immediately around the time of Back to Black, which I mention in this thread, at Brighton Concorde 2 - a medium sized venue. At the time I just thought this was due to drugs, but after viewing the doc I got more of a feeling looking back to that that she really did not enjoy performing at gigs where the personal touch was lost.
