ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: AMY WINEHOUSE 1983-2011

Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was an English singer-songwriter known for her powerful deep contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres including R&B, soul and jazz.

Winehouse's 2003 debut album, Frank, was critically successful in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up album, Back to Black, led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made Winehouse the first British female to win five Grammys, including three of the "Big Four": Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. On 14 February 2007, she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist; she had also been nominated for Best British Album. She won the Ivor Novello Award three times, one in 2004 for Best Contemporary Song (musically and lyrically) for "Stronger Than Me", one in 2007 for Best Contemporary Song for "Rehab", and one in 2008 for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Love Is a Losing Game", among other distinctions. The album was the third biggest seller of the 2000s in the United Kingdom.



Winehouse is credited as an influence in the rise in popularity of female musicians and soul music, and also for revitalising British music. Winehouse's distinctive style made her a muse for fashion designers such as Karl Lagerfeld. Winehouse's problems with drug and alcohol abuse, violence, and her self-destructive behaviours were regular tabloid news from 2007 until her death. She and her former husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, were plagued by legal troubles that left him serving prison time. In 2008, Winehouse faced a series of health complications that threatened both her career and her life.

Winehouse died at the age of 27 on 23 July 2011, at her home in London;police have said that the cause of her death is "as yet unexplained".Winehouse's family and friends attended her funeral on 26 July 2011.She was later cremated at Golders Green Crematorium.

SPOTLIGHT: 2 Be Or NOT 2 Be Is The REALITY or IS IT ??

We have this fascination of watching reality tv shows.This whole phenomenon caught viewers attention back in the 80's with MTV's Real World and ever since then there have been many,many,many and so many more reality shows that I have stopped counting and comparing each show.If you go down the list or atleast titles you have Braxton Family Values (WE Network),





Celebrity Apprentice(NBC),



Basketball Wives (VH1),


The Real McCoy (TV1),




Housewives of Atlanta(BRAVO),




Run's House (MTV) and countless others.The thing that keeps many watching the Housewives of Atlanta(BRAVO),or even Basketball Wives (VH1)is the mere mention of a physical altercation or a strong verbal confrontation...lol. Here are some reasons why most of America cant stop looking at what most seem to think is REAL. Need I say more ???
Judge for yourself.
