He said, “When I was away, I wrote a lot of stuff, which will be released next year. I wrote a diary and songs. I got into trouble because I wrote on the wall, ‘Some things are past understanding, you just need a place to land.’ It was part of a lyric. I actually wrote a song about Amy when I was in prison.”

The song is titled, “Your Pain Makes a Beautiful Sound” and it is said to be about Amy’s catastrophic personal problems.

Here’s a snippet of the lyrics that he wrote:

“It was easy to make them love you / All you had to do was sing / Now it’s not enough to listen / They want to know everything.”

I love me some Boy George, if only he would reunite with Culture Club, then my life would be complete. At least he’s trying to stay relevant by writing songs about someone relevant.

Good luck George!

She is finally completely drug free, which means there is some awesome new music to come, I cannot wait. Music label executives at Island Records are saying that she’s got a new album planned for next year.

Island Records Co-President Darcus Beese, said, “I’ve heard a couple of song demos that absolutely floored me. (She has been writing and recording) in fits and starts. Hopefully we’ll have her album next year.”

Winehouse is also set to take the stage Saturday night with her protege and goddaughter Dionne Bromfield on “Strictly Come Dancing.”

To say I’m excited for a new album from her would be an understatement.

Amy will also be joining her on stage to sing backing vocals for her performance.

Dionne said, “It’s really exciting. I’m not nervous now, but I probably will be on the day!”

I can’t wait to see her performance. To be so young, Dionne has a lot of promise as an aspiring singer. She sounds like a dream from the 1950’s. Amy did well choosing her as her first artist for her label, Lioness Records.

She took the stage with The Specials to perform “You’re Wondering Now” and she was looking so much like her old self.

Check out the video and see for yourself:

Love her. I can’t wait for a third studio album from her, it’s been way too long!

According to sources, Winehouse will feature as a backing singer alongside her 13-year-old goddaughter Dionne, whom she recently signed to her record label.

A source said, “Strictly have made it a priority to sign Amy and will stop at nothing to have her. X Factor have upped their game with the likes of Madonna and Robbie Williams in talks. So bagging Amy would be a real coup.”

I think she should go on the show and do the crackie dance, but that’s just me. That’s television I would pay to see!

I’ve seriously been waiting and waiting and waiting, but still nothing! She’s an awesome and talented singer, so we wait and wait.

We’re hearing that Amy is headed back to Miami, Florida to finish her album. Now that she has her divorce and cheating drama swept under the rug, she’s got nothing but time to get back into the studio and work.

She’s planning on flying out to producer, Salaam Remi’s studio to grind the axe. Her friends are said to be worried that she may reconnect with Blake Fielder-Civil, though.

According to sources, she was communicating with him via her Facebook account. A source said, “Amy is looking forward to getting out to Miami again to finish the album with Salaam, as he was so good on ‘Back To Black. It’s a place that means a lot to her and could really provide some inspiration for new material. All her friends are worried, though. She has mentioned she might meet Blake when he leaves rehab in Sheffield. Even more worrying is the fact that she has been feeling broody. That would be the ultimate disaster – the spawn of Fielder-Civil.”

A source said, “Mitch has been working on it for a while now. Amy always credits her ad with getting her into singing. He loves music. He has a good voice and wants a go at turning professional.”

This oughtta be interesting. I’ll listen! Frank Sinatra is classic, I hope he can do ‘Old Blue Eyes’ justice.

Amy has been staying on the island to try and get herself together, and St. Lucian officials have confirmed her plans to try and stay there for good.

A source said, “Amy loves St. Lucia and never wants to leave. She thinks the island has done her the world of good and she’s writing more than ever.”

An island official said, “We are aware of Amy wanting to live here on a permanent basis. We have received an application and are looking into it.”

It’s not just a refuge for Amy to steer herself clear of her drug-addled ways. She’s reportedly trying to move there to distance herself from the taxes of the U.K.

A friend said, “She’s paid tens of thousands in tax already but she sees that she can avoid another huge bill. She’ll be able to keep a larger slice of her fortune this way.”

Hopefully she’ll be able to stay away from the drink, as well. She has been partying there and already accused of stealing drinks there. I hope she can really turn herself around and release some new music as a result of her residency there.

Kelly has revealed that he is a big Winehouse fan and that he would love to work together with her on a track.

He said, “Amy Winehouse. Rehab. I love that song. I’d definitely love to work with Amy Winehouse. I love the ‘Rehab’ song. She has balls to do that. I love that. I love that she kept it real and I would love to do a song with her.”

He seems a little eager, doesn’t he? Is someone trying to stay relevant?

Amy Winehouse has become known for her throaty old-school sounding music, but her latest album has left the label not so happy.

She gave the demo tracks to her label and they’ve told her that she needs to redo the entire album.

An insider says, “Amy was very productive during her stay in St. Lucia. She wrote a hell of a lot of songs, but the majority of them aren’t hitting the mark. She seems to have ditched her trademark vintage soul sound and is now heavily influenced by reggae. Her bosses don’t think it’s a wise move to change her style so sharply and have told her that.”

Another concerning factor is the lyrics, which are focused on her relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil.

The source adds, “The lyrics are very dark indeed. While she’s known for her confessional style and has been very successful with it, many of the tracks are near the knuckle. Everyone understands that Amy is an artist and she must be true to her instincts. In the past, she’s written frequently about broken hearts and boyfriends, but this time round she’s delving into harrowing terrain.”

To be honest, I’ll just be happy with whatever she releases. Artists change.
