Her most recent album Back To Black is also at #2 on the Billboard album charts, fueled by her eight Grammy awards, including one for "best new artist". Here's what Amy looked like five years ago, when she actually was a new artist. How cute and innocent she was!
Compare that to this recent photo of her.
Just like Britney, it's really sad to see someone's life fall apart in public. I was getting a strong "Kurt Cobain in Rome" vibe from the latest Amy Winehouse escapades, so it was nice to see her looking almost normal performing last week at the Grammys. She's performing tonight at the Brit Awards, where she could win another "best new artist" award. I don't think she's up for one, but winning best new artist is the first step to a new Amy, or a return to the old Amy.
Maybe someday her voice and talent will overshadow all those other things. At least I hope so.

I shortcut through a mall the other day, and I passed one of those makeup areas...and the woman staffing the counter had this horrifying makeup job including that smeary black thing going up from the corners of the eyes...not as extreme as Winehouse's, but I blame her for that look. Which is U-G-L-Y. (Nice Stew ref, by the way...)
