What Parents Need to Know
About Back to Black
Parents need to know that Amy Winehouse is one of the most gifted soul singers to come along in years, with a fantastic voice and loads of songwriting talent. But that gift lives within a person who, if the songs are indeed autobiographical as she claims, loves to abuse alcohol, weed, and men. The lyrics are deceptively vulgar at times, but that strike against her isn't enough to outweigh the fact that this is a phenomenal album of classic soul music.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Winehouse's various views on love, from scorned and adulterous to vigorously loyal. But most of all, Winehouse offers a nearly transparent view into the psyche of someone who imbibes in more than her fair share of alcohol and pot. These songs show a woman perfectly aware of her vices but unwilling to change. There's a lifetime's worth of conversations in that subject matter: Is experimentation with alcohol and pot at a certain age okay? What does drinking responsibly mean? How do you know when it's a problem?

Bad role model
A majority of her songs talk about doing drugs or relationship problems.

pretty voice
She has a pretty voice, but she sings a lot about different drugs. Terreble role model. she dosen't swear much in her songs, but says words parents wouldn't want their kids hearing.

Not a very good CD.
The only reason I have this CD is because my mom bought it for me. I only like Rehab,the rest of the songs suck, and they aren't very kid-friendly.
