Flirting with disaster

Will Amy Winehouse's self-destructive behavior make her a music legend -- or will it just kill her?

    This is more like it.

    This is an interesting and engaging rock review, not just an expose or tiresome commentary on celebrity drug and alcohol addiction. This is a far cry from the periodic essays on Britney's trials and tribulations you've published. This is more like it. Keep up the good work.

    I'm not sure I'd be so quick to dismiss Mary J. Blige as not a legend. I think she is one of the most talented singers working today. I also think that history will look back on her work favorably, perhaps as an urban, modern Aretha Franklin.
