Born into an English-Jewish family with a history of jazz musicians, she grew up in the suburb of Southgate, North London, and attended Ashmole School. At around age 10, Winehouse founded a short-lived amateur rap group called Sweet 'n' Sour, as Sour. She described the group as "the little white Jewish Salt-N-Pepa".

Amy Winehouse - Rehab

They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no.
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.

I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks im fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got 70 days
Cos there's nothing, nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

Do you think rehab will be successful for Amy?

She is extremely talented and I love her voice but I wonder if she will be the next drug overdose casualty. It would be extremely sad to see such musical talent go to waste. I hope the people who love her manage to give her the support she needs to save herself.

Will Amy Winehouse be able to kick her crack habit?

Yes, she will dump Blake and clean up her act

I hate to say it, but I don't think Amy Winehouse will live to a ripe old age, which, if I'm right, will be a great shame because she's so talented. I've really never seen anyone with quite such the addicteve personality that she has.

The drink and drugs are just symptons of a deeper problem. Old habits die hard. My prayer for Amy is that she would see the errors of her ways by reading the bible, and that she would see that Yeshua (Jesus) is the remedy.

Peace

I hope she recovers. I just think that if she doesn't get her act together soon (which so far she shows no sign of doing) shes gonna end up like Anna Nicole Smith. Right now, I don't see any pigs flying.

Just brilliant. Screw the drugs and all that tabloid crap, I just care about the music. This woman is a gem and needs time to get her health back. 100 years from now she will be seen in similar way as Billie Holiday or Janis Joplin. Get in the studio soon, Amy.
