i really dont know what to think anymore, i think ive been kidding myself tbh, tellin myself that shes sounding better. she looks terrible tho, the drugs have completly chnged her face. when i loved her apperence most was when she did that aol set. then her face looked perfect.. now she looks gaunt, blank, maybe even zombie like.. when she was laughing through rehab it made me really happy to see her smiling but then she goes back to this shadow of what she used to be.. her eyes just look blank.
i hope its not too late to get the amy we love back. its like her bodys there on stage but shes not really there.

I still feel very sorry for her.
I feel she is trapped by her emotions; this is her gift, and her burden.
I also feel that she is going through a process, and slow as it seems, it seems to be heading in the right direction. We, waiting on the sidelines, see things relative to what we think we know. She is living it. I think it goes slower when you are living it than when you are seeing it from the sidelines.
I am also not without hope. And I don't think she has given up on herself at all.
imho

I think that's true. It's going to take a long time to recover from what she has put her mind and tiny body through. She's been doing this for a long time, the drugs, drink, poor diet, lack of sleep. She almost died from an overdose. It's not going to happen overnight. I can't wait until these concerts are over.
I don't think she can recover on her own, by just staying at home. She needs to go to rehab, and properly this time, a few days or a week or two just won't cut it.

I've been watching those videos from last night (thank you Jayne) and they're incredibly painful to watch. I feel like a twat commenting on her dreadful singing when you can clearly see for her body language just how incredibly sick she is. Today is the time I've felt more worried about her ever. Even when she was in hospital I was feeling better. It's just terribly obscene that she's allowed to take decission on her own let alone go on stage.

Winehouse's last performance on September 6th can't come fast enough for me.
I'm going to that festival & I think I'll deliberately miss her as I can't bear to watch her falling apart live on stage.
Further to some previous comments about the audience not appreciating that Amy is a real person I have to say that I believe the punters at a festival have paid good money to be entertained & deserve good performances from the artists. If the artists isn't fit to perform they shouldn't. Doesn't make me a hater, just makes me someone who doesn't want to waste one precious second of a festival I have been looking forward to all year.
Personally I think Rob de Bank is mad to book Amy for Bestival.

I don't think it's wrong to comment. Everyone knows she is stubborn. She also knows she is a public figure subject to remarks.
I don't see any recovery right now and I very well understand the process.
I don't speak for her, I only know what I see. I have no idea what she is thinking or planning.
But want I do know is that she is responsible for for situation. And I refuse to pick and chose when I or anyone else wants to believe she is coherent or non coherent. She knows what she is doing. Rolling Stone made that clear and I keep that in mind.
I heard that loud and clear.

Rolling Stone was ages ago. A lot has happened since then.

She started drugs ages ago it and is still on them regardless that information is relevant, it shows you exactly her frame of mind. I don't care if you don't want to see it.
And a lot of thing will continue to happen until she cuts the bullshit and admit she has a problem. I won't sympathize because she looks bad, she made she bed. Excuses and excusing her is not going to work.

I do feel bad for all people who make their own lousy beds.
I wish they all had the strength of character to change.

Just speaking for myself, I have a close family member who is a recovering alcoholic, and I went through many different emotions. I was up and down like a yo-yo. Anger, sadness, helplessness, fear (that they would kill themselves), compassion, frustration.... It was a rollercoaster.
In the end, looking back on it, I just feel so sad that they wasted so many years of their life stuck in that self-destructive pattern. I could never abandon them, though, and nowadays I feel sorry for them that they had such a miserable life when they were drinking.
My anger was misplaced, as they really, truly, couldn't help themselves at the time - they just didn't have the strength. They hit rock bottom, and with help, they've been sober for 15 years, thank God. Still one day at a time, though. That's why I still have hope for Amy. Because I've seen recovery in someone close to me.
So I do feel sorry for Amy. I can't be mad at her - I just feel sad. Sadness is the main emotion for me.
