I've been reading and hearing a lot about how Amy Winehouse is supposed to be this bad girl of the RnB music industry. People are talking about how she beat up an adoring fan...and her boyfriend after that. Or how she does cocaine on stage, being in rehab. Maybe it's just me but I think it's pathetic and lame.
First of all, let me be clear: I'm not attacking Amy - I'm sure she's talented or something. What's sad is how her management is handling things. Obviously all this hoopla is just a clever ploy by the recording company and her managers to upscale the dying modern RnB music scene by trying to appeal to a wider audience - namely the rock audience. And what's more pathetic is that the only people falling for it are 1) the shallow Usher-loving RnB crowd, and 2) the pretentious rocknroll wannabe's.
I'm not buying it, and neither should anyone.
