Flirting with disaster

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

    Sloppy shows will do her in

    Amy might be under control in the studio, but how long can she put on these unprofessional performances and still maintain her audience and credibility?

    I've come up through the 70's and understand that many performers used mountains of drugs, but they still managed to somehow keep it under control and crank out the great live show. With Amy, doing lines off her sleeve and mumbling through her songs, she's going to squander any goodwill left for her.

    I hope she gets it under control. She's talented and she's good, but she's not an absolute genius that can get away with this shit for much longer.
