Poor Amy. The line in her song 'but Daddy thinks I'm fine' seems to say it all. Daddy needs to tell her firmly that she's NOT fine and needs to sort herself out before she ends up dead. She's truly talented but I hate watching her go down the toilet. That silly husband she adores isn't helping either is he? If he loved her as much as she loves him, he'd try to help her.

That poor girl needs help. Someone please help her. I have grown up most of my life wishing I could sing. I would gladly give a vital part of my anatomy to stun people on stage with a voice like hers. Amy, we love you. You are unique. Don’t throw it all away.

Alan Kirby
Amy Winehouse is just another spoiled brat with a modicum of talent who's getting far more attention than she merits. I defend her right to go to hell in her own fashion, I'm just sick of constantly hearing about it.

Whether they like it or not, performers in the music industry do influence their audience.  Some copy the fashion and some take up that style of music, others like the look of the lifestyle and the ‘I don't care’ attitude. So when a performer is publicly seen to be doing themselves harm, something has to be done to show that that behaviour cannot be tolerated.

Amy, this is a message for you.  I came to rock a bit late – at 69 would you believe? You are the only one I can stand and you have such great talent. Hope you pull through, you give so much pleasure by your music. Get well soon.

Personally, I think what she wants to do is her business. If that's her choice, then so be it. She never asked to be a role model for anybody, and people shouldn't copy famous people anyway.

Philips 2
Most of us would kill for what she has, but people just like her will lose it all and end up in the gutter. Pull yourself together my dear; you have got something not many people have got. Live your life and make it wonderful; do not flush it down the loo.

Butzer
Try to make her go to REHAB. I say, "YES, YES, YES…"

Every name has gone
Amy Winehouse comes across as spoilt girl who has had too much money thrown at her and now wants to play at being ‘street’.  She looks a mess, sounds like a winging cat and has no truth in her voice.

Hava-leah
Amy Winehouse is a talent that comes once every generation! Amy you need help, we don't want to lose you. Two albums are not enough to feed off until the next generation produces an artist of Amy's magnitude. What a waste of a true talent – when so many singers are called ‘legend’, ‘diva’, ‘artist’, Amy is one of a handful of this generation of stars who actually deserves all of these labels!

Beautiful-Eyes
Amy is one of a kind and yet she chooses to let her demons gear her towards self-destruction. There is time for her to get back on the horse and do what she does best which is entertain her fans with her music. Otherwise she's going to end up on the 'pity' pile like the footballing legend George Best, god rest his soul.

I love Amy Winehouse, I think her music is a refreshing change to all the other rubbish that’s out there at the moment. But the woman has issues and she needs to sort her life out.

Claire246
Although not everyone who is a musician chooses to party hard, some do, and who are we to judge? She is a young woman who is living it up and hopefully having fun!!

Pete 1983
She is clearly depressed by the pressure of the gig circuit and the fans' expectations of her. Regular drinking is often a way to escape life's problems. Taking a break and getting help would slow her career down, but that may be the best thing for her, after all, a person’s health should be their number one priority. I hope she pulls through this difficult time, as I feel she has much more to offer once she's ready.

Boss Chops
She will kill herself if she continues; what a waste. Her husband doesn’t love her – if he did he'd talk her into getting it right.

Troule
It's very typical nowadays to see talented people with no respect for themselves, fans or family, to go down the wrong route and expect everyone to feel sorry for them. I hope Amy ends up like all the rest of the one-year-wonders as she has no backbone or family values within her!

HeShe
Amy Winehouse is a total disgrace; she should get off her pathetic backside and get herself sorted out. She looks awful and is setting no example whatsoever to her fans. She is not being cool, she is just being stupid. What a waste, she is obviously talented but too far gone to realise what she is doing or even care.

Amy Winehouse doesn't see herself as having a problem because she is in total denial, her body will eventually not be able to take any more punishment. She needs to get sober and fast, and to get away for a while with the love and support of her family. If she doesn’t address this now, I can only see her going more downhill like Pete Doherty, and nobody wants to know about him now.

Fezian Levels
I think it's fair to say that some great artists throughout history have a self destructive streak running through them. Their great talent comes at a cost.

My Name Is Amy 2
I think it is a shame that she is on a self-destruct mode; her album is the best I have heard in years. I really want to go and see her in concerts but refuse to pay money to see her singing drunk. For the sake of her health and career she needs to get help and quick!

Liam 82
It's her life and she can do as she pleases. She is not doing this as some sort of attention or publicity seeking plot and at the end of the day she is not harming anybody, except maybe herself. Just because different people do different things to have a good time, does not make them bad in anyway, let her get on with it!
