Take a breath...I said No, No, No.

LONDON (AP) -- Soul diva Amy Winehouse has damaged her lungs by smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes, her father said in an interview published Sunday.
The Sunday Mirror quoted Mitch Winehouse as saying that Amy has early stage emphysema and an irregular heartbeat, and has been warned that she will have to wear an oxygen mask unless she stops smoking drugs.
"The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her," Mitch Winehouse was quoted as saying. "There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She has 70 percent lung capacity."
Winehouse, 24, collapsed at her north London home Monday after signing autographs for a group of fans and was taken to a London hospital for tests. She remained there all week.
She is still scheduled to sing at a concert in London on Friday celebrating the 90th birthday of Nelson Mandela, the South African Nobel Prize-winner, and plans to take part in the Glastonbury music festival the following day.
Mitch Winehouse said it would be good for his daughter to perform.
"When she's been inactive work-wise then that's when the problems really start. The doctors have said that medically there isn't any reason why she can't do Glastonbury," the paper quoted him as saying.
He also pleaded with her drug-taking friends to stay away from her.
"What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her," he said.
Chris Goodman, spokesman for Amy Winehouse, said "If that's what Mitch says, that's what he says. It sounds right."
Mitch Winehouse could not immediately be reached for comment.

Who would a thunk it. Smokin' crack is not good for you.

You know I could never understand why artists have to live this life style to perform at a high level. One after another they destroy themselves with drink and drugs. Especially blues singers like this dumb cunt.

I have to say the video of Winehouse and Charlotte Church doing a cover of Michael Jacksons "Beat It" is the worst musical performance I think I have ever seen and that includes kindergarten recitials. Winehouse is such a red hot mess. Hey she should take up blogging.

I bet she could do a smokin' Blogging Heads while smokin' crack. So to speak.

The bar is really, really low, too.

She could do it no matter how bad looking she got or how bad she trashed her voice, or almost how sick she got.
