Back to Black is one of the top 20 CDs in my 1500 CD collection -- lyrics also seem like a suicide note

I listened to all of Back to Black this morning for perhaps the 30th time and still feel it is the best new CD of 2007.
In fact the more I hear it, the more I feel it is one of the top 20 CDs in my collection of over 1500.
I wish the sound quality was better.
I wish the artist had better diction (although she talks with such a thick British accent I can barely understand her in the free DVD that came with my CD.
I've previewed her first jazzy CD "Frank" on line, and didn't like it very much.
In the Grammy performance you watched a stoned performer at 4am.
It was shocking and bad. Notes were missed by a mile.
My wife and I were still talking about the "performance" the next day because a friend in "Winehouse's condition" came close to dying before entering three weeks of rehab one year ago.
Other live performances I've heard on Utube have slurred words (from alcohol I assume) but notes were not missed.
Feel sorry for this girl -- look at the "before and after crack"
pictures at the link I included.
Her husband is in prison.
And she's going downhill fast.
Back to Black lyrics read like a suicide note.
