Product Description
This is the story of Amy Jade Winehouse - the rise and untimely demise of a soulful icon. As a child Amy Winehouse was infatuated with music. At the tender age of 14, she along with her best friend formed a rap duo called Sweet & Sour. Writing and reciting songs became her childhood hobby - it would ultimately become her therapy and escape. Disappointed by her parents' divorce, she began to rebel against authority at school and at home. Her anger eventually spiraled into depression, which led to bulimia and anorexia.
However her passion for music was unwavering. She was inspired by artists such as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billy Holiday. Appalled by the quality of music on the radio, she was determined to make her own mark. One of her recordings caught the attention of a prominent record executive who vowed to make her a star. Her soulful sound was embraced by fans, and propelled her to the top of the charts. In 2006 she won 5 prestigious Grammy awards, tying the record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night. However her success only fueled her rebellious nature. The deadly concoction of drugs and alcohol combined with the pressures of stardom eventually led to a Fallen Star.

I must urge everyone to reject this DVD completely.
The people who produce these items - Weinerworld - do not have permission to produce this offensive garbage, and it is disrespectful not only to Amy's memory, but to those of us she left behind. These unathorised, often loaded with lies releases are a source of upset to her family and friends. The previous DVD they released about Amy referred to her as a 'train wreck' in it's blurb.
Please help us keep Amy's memory alive in the positive and music-focused way she would have wanted by refusing to line the pockets of these unscrupulous money-grabbers. She is worth much more than this cheap and cynical production.
Peace.

THIS IS A WASTE OF $$$
all they did was get a girl who looks nothing like Amy , put makeup on her the way amy wore her makeup and she sits on a sofa
and basically repeats every written article that Amy had been quoted from. Nothing new, terrible actors play flashback scenes( there are probaly just 3 in there) .. I wish i could get my money back..
Anybody wants my copy before i throw it in the garbage?
I could have wasted 20 bucks in a much better way..
