Just Jack Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 This could be the year.... Exlusive: Amy Winehouse has emphysema and could be in wheelchair By Louise Ford 22/06/2008 Frail Amy Winehouse has been struck down by the deadly lung condition emphysema - and she could be in a wheelchair within a MONTH if she doesn't stop smoking crack cocaine, her dad revealed last night. Doctors have also told the star, 24 - rushed to hospital after having a fit this week - that she will need a permanent oxygen mask to survive unless she takes their advice. In an emotional interview, her devastated father Mitch told the Sunday Mirror how watching his daughter deteriorate reminded him of his own 78-year-old mother struggling for breath on an aspirator before she died of lung cancer. Worried dad Mitch said: "To think this could be my beautiful 24-year-old daughter's life is preposterous. But if drugs mean more to her than breathing properly, then so be it. But the doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her. It's been a tough week."
The Poojer Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 she's got so much talent, i hope she can get straight This could be the year....

The Poojer Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 this and others show just how addictive drugs can be, people like daryl strawberry, et al, who have the world at their feet and all the talent in the world, cannot shake something that will lead to thier demise....unreal So sad. Most people are their own worst enemys
Wacka Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Is she talented? I am serious. I don't listen to modern music, classic rock is for me. All I have ever heard of her's was that Rehab song.
drnykterstein Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Is she talented? I am serious. I don't listen to modern music, classic rock is for me. All I have ever heard of her's was that Rehab song. No. (in my opinion) Anyways, death pool? Lol.
The Poojer Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 i personally think she is very talented, a real nice "crooner"(?) if that is the right description, rehab is not the best representation of her talent, but still it shows some....give her a listen on youtube or something Is she talented? I am serious. I don't listen to modern music, classic rock is for me. All I have ever heard of her's was that Rehab song.
The Poojer Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 what dont you like about her......just curious No. (in my opinion) Anyways, death pool? Lol.
Thirdborn Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 i personally think she is very talented, a real nice "crooner"(?) if that is the right description, rehab is not the best representation of her talent, but still it shows some....give her a listen on youtube or something Listen to "you know I'm no good" .... she sounds like Billie Holiday. "Back to Black" is a great sound for her too. These 2 songs stand far above anything else I've heard from her. It's a shame.

buckeyemike Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Listen to "you know I'm no good" .... she sounds like Billie Holiday. "Back to Black" is a great sound for her too. These 2 songs stand far above anything else I've heard from her. It's a shame. I agree with you regarding "You Know I'm No Good". I was blown away the first time I heard that song. Her actions show a self-destructive personality, despite all her talent.

Corp000085 Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 If she gets herself clean, as of this morning, and stays clean, she can live a long life. She's young enough to live through this health scare. Unfortunately, she's an addict, and if she goes back, it will kill her quickly.
Buftex Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I think Winehouse is pretty talented. If you like her, and that style, done by contempory people, check out Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, as well as the Detroit Cobras. This stuff kicks ass...the Cobras are a little rougher, but the lead singer (Rachel Nagy) is amazing. Unfortunately for her, she shares Amy's taste for things that are not good for her...
Typical TBD Guy Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 If she gets herself clean, as of this morning, and stays clean, she can live a long life. She's young enough to live through this health scare. Unfortunately, she's an addict, and if she goes back, it will kill her quickly. FYI, there is no cure for emphysema. If she does everything right from here on out, she'd still be lucky to ever reach age 50.

I am aware that there is no cure for emphysema. I was stating that a 20 something year old body that has suffered years of abuse has a better chance to compensate than does a 60 year old body suffering from decades of abuse.

I think the dap kings actually backed up Winehouse on one of her records. Sort like how Atlantic sent folks over to stax to get the booker T & mgs sound.
Buftex Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Looks like Amy is back to her "fighting self"...recorded this past weekend..."no, no, no..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH1FxR9ekBI
Buftex Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 As I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread, if you dig the good ol siht, done with a twist, but plenty of reverence, check out the Detroit Cobras: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj3nENxFnLY Rachel Nagey has an awesome voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ddjXDTQDxU...feature=related
