Before her latest batch of legal/personal troubles, British soulstress Amy Winehouse sat down with Alex Needham for a very revealing interview in V magazine’s special 50th Music Issue.
Amy on George Michael’s cannabis habit: “George Michael just smokes a load of puff all the time, I don’t know if that’d be a good influence. I bet he’s really nice though.â€Amy on her sublime ballad with Prince, Love Is a Losing Game: “He did such a long guitar solo I felt like I was in a Guns ‘N’ Roses video. The only thing missing was Slash smoking a fag in the rain.â€
Amy on her promise to not to write a record about the (considerable, in her case) pressures of fame: “Who wants to listen to an album about having the red tops [tabloids] camped outside your house?”
Amy on her in-laws’ accusations that her relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil is toxic and could lead to their demise: “I think that was a bit extreme, really. But I love Blake so much—I’m a very lucky girl. I think my mum and dad and Blake’s mum and dad were just really worried about us. At first Blake’s parents couldn’t quite suss out whether my parents wanted the best for both of us or just me, and I’m sure my mum and dad were wondering the same. But Georgette, my mother in law, I love her so much. I’m just like her kid, you know.â€
Amy on whether the beehive is all hers: “Course it’s all real!â€

obviously it’s not all hers. maybe she was trying to be funny?
She’s a great talent. I really WANT to like her… but I feel irresponsible buying a CD by someone who is is on such a downhill slide.
She was being sarcastic about the hair folks. First of all, it doesn’t even LOOK like it’s all hers and, most importantly, I saw an interview where she said, “I bought it. That makes it mine.”
think she’s washed her hair lately?:
I wonder how she washes that hair of hers? i bet she stinks a little
That comment about the Prince thing is hilarious.
‘Love is a Losing Game’ is one helluva song; I can’t wait to hear the two of them on it. If Prince even remotely respected me enough to record with me I could die on the spot.
I thought for a minute that was meant to be Amy on the cover! Looks NOTHING like her! I hope she is joking about her hair not being all real, or she’s a lot more delusional than I thought.
i heart amy.
she was being sarcastic about the hair allright? so just leave it!
i really love amy, i thing she’s a great talented artist and seems to be an incredible person.
i just hope that everything turns out for the best her and blake, ’cause she deserves to be happy!
