Like a 21st century Helen Shapiro, another London Jewish girl with a big voice and an even bigger beehive hairdo, Amy Winehouse has entertained music lovers with her phenomenal voice and two albums, debut “Frank” and the more revealing, confessional “Back To Black”.
She has, however, entertained the nation much, much more with her drunken and drug fuelled antics, frightening weight loss and ill-advised marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, the source of whose income is unknown even to Winehouse’s closest friends.
It was pretty much inevitable that Winehouse would create a storm when she hit the music scene. She comes from a jazz loving family and, aged 10, formed the mercifully short-lived and dreadfully named “Sweet ‘n’ Sour”, more insult than tribute to her then heroes, “Salt ‘n’ Peppa”. From here she spent a year at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, where she was expelled for “not applying herself” and picking, sorry, piercing her own nose. Which, to be fair, is the kind of behaviour you want from a potential hellraiser.
Signing to Simon Fuller’s 19 Management after doing various odd jobs, including temping alongside gossip columnist Joe Mott, album “Frank” followed. And, of course, Winehouse now completely disowns it. It is a bit dull.
Things really started to get interesting in 2006 with the release of “Back To Black.” Doing the press rounds, Winehouse started to talk about her boozing, manic depression and eating disorders, while single “Rehab” (about her refusal to go to The Priory) tipped of the tabloids that this was an act worth keeping their rheumy eyes on.
And, boy, did Amy deliver.
Permanently pissed on tequila and cheap red plonk, Winehouse staggered from cancelled gig, to off licence, to drunken and nonsensical TV performance, including a duet of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” with Charlotte Church. Take a look on YouTube, it’s worth the bother. Add the scraps with boyfriends, prison-style tattoos of naked women, lesbian love-ups with ladies of the press (you know who you are) and powder-fuelled performances to the boozy run-ins, and it started to look like Janis Joplin was going to get a run for her money.
In a move she’s extremely likely to regret, Winehouse recently married shady, stupid hat wearing boyfriend Blake Fielder Civil, waiting a mere two days before getting into an almighty fist fight with him.
With this kind of supremely dim behaviour, she will remain one to watch, but before you rush to judge Winehouse, remember that anyone who loudly heckles Bono can’t be all bad.
