Mom doesn't seem to have any sense of existence. Amy told her mother that in order to lose weight, she vomited after eating, but her mother didn't take it seriously;
her husband was a bit of a scumbag and taught Amy to take drugs, but he still didn't want Amy to detox alone. According to the psychiatrist in the documentary, it was typical Ways to control the rich in a relationship through drugs;
Ok, Amy is unfortunate. But who hasn't had bad luck? It's just that her success has also magnified the bad luck index. A little girl who has not grown up in her heart lives in a "sinister world of adults" because of her natural talent.

Then a manager of the record company was invited to the bathroom by the staff. , Amy not only spit out the whole lunch, but also made a mess in the bathroom, which is quite disgusting.

Amy quotes

  • Yasiin Bey: I became aware of Amy in 2004. I'm a big jazz fan and I really liked what she was doing. I thought it was unique, I thought it was edgy. And sincere. And that's the thing I like most about Amy. She didn't have any airs. She was real... She was just a charming, sweet lady. I had a bit of a crush on her, to be honest. She was raw, she was fast with a blue joke, could drink anybody under the table, wasn't afraid to roll a smoke. Had a big, giant laugh, and was just a sweetheart, you know?

  • Amy Winehouse: Success to me is not success to the record company or whoever. Success to me is having the freedom to work with whoever I want to work with, to always be able to go to the studio when I have to go to the studio... I think the more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes. So leave me alone and I'll do it. I will do the music. I just need time to do the music.
