So Had Enough dismisses Amy Winehouse as inauthentic!? Why, because she happens to be the tabloid star du jour? Or is it merely because she is a white gal working in what you have decided is an idiom strictly off limits to white folk? Unless you know her personally, chances are your conception of her authenticity is just good ol' fashioned PC racism. You may or may not like her music, but you are in no position to dismiss it as inauthentic. You might consider the possibilty that she is genuinely doing what she wants and feels.
