And when will the Brits stop spelling 'jail' like it was the 16th Century? Jeez!

We invented the language! :-P


Sort of..... lol.

If it's good enough for Oscar...... and yes, Chai, that is still an acceptable spelling, albeit rather uncommon

This interview brought images in my mind that I didn't wish to have, it's hard to read.

I don't know what to think, because as you mentionned it takes courage to say those things and at the same time, it may be a kind of manipulation.

I just hope that it will help Amy and not make her more desperate.

Maybe I'm cynical but I think this is simply more melodrama...

“Now the most dignified thing I can ever do in my life is to release somebody I love from my f***ing grasp, from my clutches."
That made me think of the old soppy, but very true, saying:
"If you love someone, let them go. If they come back to you then they're yours forever, if they don't, then they were never yours to begin with."
I didn't remember the exact wording, so when I looked it up I found there are lots of modern variations:
If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, take its Metallica CD's and throw them on its head from the second-story window. Then change the locks.

It's both of their faults. Amy should never have asked and taken, and Blake should never have done it and given. Simple. Yes, love is a factor, but do you see everyday love birds falling for drugs? I know when my aunt was on drugs, my uncle didin't give in. Instead, he seperated and got her help. Now she's living with him again and is clean, and my uncle never touched drugs.

I'd say they're both codependent and suffer from sex and love addiction. Neither condition has anything to do with love. With that going against them they will never make it work. It's best to cut their losses.

Well Said

[erickonasis]

theyve been together on and off for 4 years. pretty sure amy hasnt been a junkie for that long. i

But your missing the point..Blake has been one longer than 4 years..I dont think you know but when your in the process of recovery (if its the right way your supposed to do it) you literally change in to a totally different person. I am happy for Blake that he came out and said this. Right now IMO i dont think its a good thing for them to be together especially when one seems like their mindset is right and the other one isnt.

[sarahbol]

I still can't blame Blake.

Me neither.
Now he's said that he introduced Amy to drugs, and really, that isn't anything new. But I don't hate him for it. It was very foolish of him, yes, but it was just as foolish of Amy to follow him. If what Blake said is true, Amy wanted to try it herself so it's not like Blake forced it upon her. Also, can you expect a drug addict to know better?
I'm not mad at him.

I really hope that they'll be able to be a normal couple one day and live happily ever after. There are enough bad signs, but I still think they are meant to be together. I'm sure it's never going to be that simple, but I'm still going to hope for it.

Emotional manipulation, or absolute honesty? Only time will tell...

I'd really like to believe he's sincere, but on the other hand he probably got well paid (this is NOTW after all), and it might be his attempt to get something out of the marriage, if reports were true about Amy meeting with lawyers and trying to keep her money away from him.

This part worries me:

I know drug dealers are still supplying her.

Amen, Phil. I think Blake and Amy were in love with BEING IN love, and with the lifestyle that afforded them to become "The 24 hour Party People". The interview was very contradictory. Of course he's going to say that he wasn't with anyone, of course he's going to save face. Winehouse has millions of fans, around the world, and he's being painted as the asshole. I don't buy into that bullshit of him being this Svengali and she, the innocent naif. Right now, homeboy is on survival mode in this melodrama.

I think the quote goes:
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was.

But thanks Alan for bringing a smile to my face on an otherwise very sad day.

And thank you Sundy, beautiful quote. Hope you're ok.

[Lainey]

I think what really bothers me about this is - WHY did he feel the need to speak to the media about this? Not only that, but to speak to the NOTW, for crying out loud - which, along with The Sun has probably printed more b---ks about Amy than any other publications put together. Can't he and Amy just deal with their relationship in private?

I don't want to hear from anyone - not Mitch, not Janis, not Blake or his Mum. It doesn't do any good - and it's impossible to figure out what's truth and what's fiction. Her private life has basically eclipsed her music in the media, and it sucks, big time. And this eclipse is just prolonged any time one of Amy's loved ones goes to the papers.

Argh.

[veronika]

whoa, reading that was .. dunno, heart breaking i'd really like to believe he's saying the truth, that he's being sincere..

I'm not saying i completely think this isnt true..But I guess only actions would do the trick for me.

i agree with you, lainey, i'd just like for them to stop trying to make public every detail.. like, for example, if they really broke up, and then, lets suppose the divorce has been signed, thats all they should say. nothing more. no drama, no interviews, no nada. even better if they didnt say a thing. for christ sake, everyone can know how their relationships going! and we dont even know if its all true! they dont need to make of this situation a mexican telenovela!! (a soap opera-?- for anyone who's watched a mexican one (i find them really amusing lol), cause thats what it feels like to me.. )

oh well, patience..

Both well said.

Another variation I've heard:

If you love something let it go. If it comes back to you it's yours. If it doesn't, go after it with a .44 Magnum.

All kidding aside, I still don't know what to think. Blake sounds sincere, but it could all be damage control. Anyone who has been in that kind of love, the destructive, all-consuming, dysfunctional love knows that it rarely ends well.
