I've never heard her singand my YECCH! reaction to her keeps me from wanting to. My loss, I guess.
I became allergic to addicts and alcoholics after a while. Again, my loss, I guess.

Not a loss at all, in my opinion. The recovering addict in me is empathetic for what Winehouse is going through, but I know all the tricks of the trade, and it's hard to be sympathetic when someone doesn't even try to help themselves. (She lasted, what, less than a day in rehab?? Even the most seasoned junkies, me included, make more of an effort than that.) And nothing wrong with being 'allergic' to addicts; when actively using, addicts are intolerable.
