watched a tv snoop-umentary about amy winehouse the other night, it struck me that in a case such as hers, the 2 great albums she has done are significant and worthy but she is not. talent is indiscriminate like a lightning strike.

As for me, I'm not hooked on her music. I'm sure I've heard a song or two of hers... but I just have not latched on.
