It's unfortunate that you can't teach somebody how to deal with fame." And, he added, he knew plenty of male artists who did plenty of drugs, but Winehouse was singled out for heightened scrutiny because she's "a small-framed Jewish lady from north London." In 2008, during a period when Winehouse was holed up in her house and paparazzi were regularly camped outside, her manager at the time, Raye Cosbert, told Britain's Sunday Times, "She feels deeply uncomfortable in the world of VIP celebrity. Eventually no one expected any more-or less-from Amy than antics. And it was immediately apparent in hindsight that the trajectory of Winehouse's rise and well-documented fall, and the speed at which her life spun out of control once she was in the public eye, proved to be a vicious cycle. Nothing has been revealed over the years to alter that perception.

I don't feel that Amy needed to learn any lessons. "So you know what? If I'm gonna be sexy on the VMAs, and sing about the paparazzi, I'm going to do it while I'm bleeding to death and reminding you of what fame did to Marilyn Monroe, the original Norma Jean, and what it did to Anna Nicole Smith, and what it did to…." She paused. "The methodology behind what I've done is that, when they wanted me to be sexy, or they wanted me to be pop, I always f-kin' put some absurd spin on it that made me feel like I was still in control," Lady Gagasays in her 2017 documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two. "And so I owe 90 percent of my career to her." "The songs I got signed on were the songs that I wrote completely on my own, and if it wasn't for her, that wouldn't have happened," Adele said while performing in Boston on Winehouse's birthday in 2016.
