More Wine(house) Sir?

Again w/ the AP, which has two separate stories on the subject:

Kanye West and Amy Winehouse each have had a rough year. He weathered the death of his mother last month, and she has been battling health issues that forced her to cancel scores of shows.
Now guess which one you'll be seeing a picture of here.
How'd you guess?

Winehouse, though dogged with rumors of substance abuse, made a serious impact this year with her album "Back to Black" and its big hit, "Rehab."

[...]

"Amy Winehouse is incredible. I think she should have got a little more positive recognition," said singer-songwriter Ne-Yo. Grammy-winning producer John Shanks called Winehouse's album Back to Black, which included the telling hit Rehab, "an important record."

"I don't think her troubles are really going to hurt her. I think the sound of that album made an impact," Shanks added.

Won't hurt her Grammy chances, anyway.

Winehouse, [...] Halperin [senior music writer for Entertainment Weekly] says[,] has an "overwhelming presence in the music industry.

"She's on the tip of people's tongues," says Halperin. "My dad listens to Amy Winehouse, and he doesn't listen to anything current. She's crossed these age barriers, and she has universal appeal."
Well, she basically does Motown. Even your father might like it.
