Innersound Music Blog - Episode 5

I hear what you're saying, but the press were horrendous towards her most of the time, most of the press was not in her favor at all, she did have some good reviews when she did her album Frank, which was before the addictions, but the press turned on her so quick and the way the paps hounded all day, everyday would of driven anyone crazy. My point is, is that most of the public and all her so-called fans, turned on her through naively reading and believing everything the tabloids would write. All her videos had people spewing pure hatred all over them, then when she died, they all switched to "oh we miss you so much". It was pathetic. I think she was just vulnerable, and actually hated the fame and wanted out of the whole industry because she saw that it was rotten to the core and that she was a puppet of the big label. Sadly, i reckon her chance to get out, get clean and go underground musically, was when she was in the caribbean away from all the negativity, hangers on and leeches. She never should of gone back to London. Thanks, i shall have a look at your blog.

Well, I don't say its right the way things go in that business, but its nothing unexpected. Everybody knows that the media are a bunch of vultures who thrive on personal failure and mishaps. So it always comes down to question "What do you want and what are you willing to sacrifice for it?" If you want to go on the big stage and make the big money, then you have to accept the downsides of that as well.
But as I said, many people can't handle that. Nobody forced Winehouse to perform, and nobody forced her to fill herself up with booze and drugs. All she needed to do was stop making a show for the media, stop making lots of money - stop playing the game. But then she would have been a woman like most other, with a job at Tesco and a small apartment. A hard decision to make.
