The man who signed Amy raises his concerns.

Nick Godwyn the man who originally signed Amy Winehouse when she 16 to Simon Fuller's 19 Management has voiced his concerns regarding her welfare. His main concern is not her career but her welfare itself. His argument being that her well being is more important than her music or long term career success.

He is quoted in The Sun as saying:

"People talk about wasted talent, but I don't look at it like that. If Amy
never made another record again it would be sad, but it's less about the music
for me and more about 'this is a human being that maybe isn't very happy."


It is good to see someone talking some sense. The music industry is full of sycophants and parasites who don’t give two hoots about 'the talent'. It is good to see someone actually think of a singer as more than a commodity. Same time, it is another interview in The Sun, a paper that continually looks for cheap sensationalist headlines.
