I agree with you there. I listened to her sing. OMG it's horrible.

John , Have you ever said anything nice about anything?

Jeeze. Never thought I'd a gree with this creep. Amy Winehouse is just pimping -- and, yes, imitating -- Black music. Her substance abuse problem (and her hair, too) is bigger than her talent.

He's probably right about her reason for using drugs but I do think she's talented. She just doesn't realize it.

amy winehouse has a beautiful voice and it's a shame she doesn't use it to it's fullest potential and her talent too. she does have talent, even though you'd never know it to watch her perform these days. 3 yrs. ago i was lucky enough to be near when she was indulging in a rare private moment alone, and i heard this amazing voice singing a little nonsense ditty while the person was sitting on a garden bench looking at a newspaper. it was amy winehouse. i was on the garden path and turned away so i wouldn't stare. the voice was magical and beautifull. it's such a shame she doesn't let the whole world hear that beautifull voice. i'm 60 yrs/ old so let me tell you i'm no fan of the current music trends, but this girl has a phenominal voice. i just wish she wouldn't abuse it and would increase her range of musical selections and clean up her life. i think she would become happier with herself.

No--I expected Johnny Rotten to fall at Amy Winehouse's feet.
Since when does that loudmouth have anything nice to say about anyone? I'd love to know if he ever did.
And if you think he can't stand the way Ms. Winehouse sings R&B music, just wait until he gets an earful of me!!

why would you want to support a crack head?

You don't have to be black to sing soul music. Just look at Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robert Plant, and Elvis Presley

Oh Johnny, you were great in Sex Pistols and marvelous in P.i.L. and I expect to see you as a judge on American Idol almost anyday now. BUT, when you go after Amy like you are you are makes you sound like your detractors who went after you in the 1970's and early 80's. Are you dear Johnny, becoming what you hated the most? Me thinks you are. Amy is a serious talent who is not long for this earth. Please pick on some one more appropriate like say Mariah !

Oh, Johnny. You are one rude son of a bitch.

John Lydon is the Joan Rivers of Rock and Roll.

I prefer not to listen to both. But they are invited to visit Basilan Island, The Philippines. You'll find out.

YOU PEOPLE HAVE LOST YOUR MINDS AMY IS THE DEAL! IN SPITE OF WHAT'S GOING WRONG IN HER PERSONAL LIFE!!

Have the Pistol's gotten a NEW frontman and no one's told me? What's with this Former Frontman stuff?
And dude, Rotten wasn't Rotten because he could sing, he was Rotten because he could shriek in a voice more harrowing and more livid then anyone heard before or since. No one ever did ANGER better.
