As I've written before, sometimes having loads of talent isn't enough to be a prime time professional musician and Amy Winehouse seems to be a prime example. Obviously this woman has a big time voice and if she chooses can have a huge career. But, her offstage problems may curb or, if things get really ugly, squash her career in it's infancy.

The latest reported Winehouse debacle has her totally missing a video shoot. The date was set, the location was picked, the crew was in place, everyone was ready and willing to help Amy by working on this video - everyone, except Amy herself. According to NME, Winehouse was a no show on the set for a scheduled video shoot for "Love is a Losing Game." The report says Amy was too hungover to make it.

Again, some of this is Amy being rushed to stardom too fast. And, some of it is just plain selfishness. No matter how much potential is there you can only keep people waiting so many times before they give up on you. Here's hoping Amy turns things around while she still can.
