....he abandoned his 9 yr old daughter ( lil Amy) AND had no clue or interest in her health as a teen fighting Bulimia, smoking pot regularly, dating guys too old for her, hanging out at the pool halls with strange bad boys...he only came back in her life after she made music connections... Then all of a sudden, he wanted in... To be her manager.... You had to be BLIND not to see her spinning out of control, losing so much weight instantly, constantly drunk on stage, ' Blake', AND just listen to what he said in the beginning of this video" Yea, she's doing great! She's looking good, new guy, new album soon..."..... DEAD 2 months later!!!!! DUDE! U didn't give a..****! When u were busy, putting YOUR album together & rehearsing YOUR new band..... She was HITCHHIKING her way TO HEAVEN!!!!!! And don't get me started on her Mum!!!! She was a Pharmacist for Crikey Sakes!! Amy.... U were just trying to fill a VOID since you were abandoned at 9 yrs old. The hell with this Poor excuse !
Yes...where is he now? I'd like him to be hounded like his daughter was. But like the true Man (not) he is he's sipping cheap champagne with chicks on the blood money of his daughter whilst pleading innocence and 'I made her a star' bollocks. Hell is on his card.
Honestly I felt the same way about him. I read her mom Janis' book and still felt like I needed to read his also. I really recommend giving it a chance. I've got about 25 pages left. Amy's death was nobody's fault, no one is to blame. She WAS fine. She was happy with her new man reg like he said, she was done with drugs. Things just happened to take a turn for the worst when she began drinking 2 days before she passed after being sober for a while. I truly believe she could've been saved if she wouldn't have been left alone for so long in her room. Her body at 10am was in the same position as it was when her security came back 5 hours later at 3pm. I personally don't care for mitch and I agree he used her and said she was fine when she was clearly at her worst but so Blake used her too and so did almost everyone she knew. I completely get where you're coming from, but he's still her dad and I'm sure he did love her
I feel the same about him, he is an opportunist that's true, but also she made her own choices, and there's no one else to blame but her. I love her music and I always will, her father is an ass**** without a doubt, but she was a grown woman, and she knew what she was doing, she knew she was going to die if she didn't stop doing drugs, and she didn't, so... she wasn't a child and she made her own choices, by knowing what could happend to her, and that's it. Her death it is only the consequence of her actions and bad choices.
Yes, he's got a great voice. If I didn't know who he was I'd probably buy his album. I just can't get over how he treated Amy like a performer rather than a vulnerable daughter. She would have walked on hot coals for this narcissist.
So selfish to push Amy to be a commercialized popstar when she really wanted to be a jazz singer. Look at him stealing her spot - acting like he's some legend.
you had your time to get your own career, you missed the train and you even dare to take advantage of Amy when it was obvious she was in her worst moment. Can't believe people like this exists. Beautiful daughter, stupid ass father. Only Amy in heaven can forgive him.
Amy was a daddy's girl. It is horrible how people say that he is responsible of her death. Unfortunately, when you have a child that is already an adult you cannot make your child do what you want. You can see on the videos that Amy loved his daddy, maybe he was not the best dad but he was her daddy.
Shut the fuck up, you dumb bitch.. You sound like you have "daddy" issues yourself, talking like that.. Christ, defending him the way you do just makes me sick.. Pathetic..
So sad to think what was to come for him, he was in a good place right then, so hopeful for Amy and the future, such a sad story for all who love music and those who hoped she would overcome her demons
She overcame her demons.thats why they killed her.The same as they did hendrix ,elvis, lennon, mj, and bob marley,.......to name a few...Any other commenters ,feel free to fill in the names i missed.
Amy was an excellent voice for music, as a person her father should have taken care of her. I would do it for my daughter. Now he can not show repentance. A bad person no matter how hard he tries to sing well.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO WONDER AMY ADORED HIM!!! You could have titled this:Mitch Winehouse:Amy Winehouse's Dad or something like that.
@Robin Powers they neve rgave up ,amy did bycontinueing to drink and she was drinking real hard ,whcih she needed to stay in rehab to fix ,shewas trying in the end ,she wasnt really in denial anymore of her problems but the booze did her in ,r.i.p.amy
Flat in places. Lazy imitation of the swing singers of the 50s and early 60s. Riding on his daughters coat tails. Narcissistic and unaccepting of his part in Amy's death. Fielder Civil is not the only person responsible!
This mans voice is simply delightful... There are so many ugly immature people in this world.the ones saying negative comments are probably the same ones that killed his daughter with their cowardly online hatred..shame on you...
Both parents say she had a lovely upbringing, he was always around after he split and her Mother says she was a great Mother, so why was she so messed up, self harming, smoking drugs, going out with older guys all that is the signs of someone seeking attention & love because they are not getting at home. I don't know about later on because I never new them but the Dad certainly comes across like he was using her to further his own failed music arrear, yeh he can hold a note but he's just another pub singer nothing special and doesn't write his own songs. RiP Amy.
Pathetic how people believe that Amy's father responsible for her death. Do you people understand what addiction means? Many people experiencing heartbreak .. If her father would have been bad for her sure she would see that! U can't save anyone except they want to be saved!!! Amy loved her dad and she loved Blake too... respect her choices... And just leave her father alone, pls!
God this man was infested on what he could blugen from his daughter s fame than being a true Father . Look at your lyrics joke of a Father . Shame on you Mitch you certainly could of done more
