Critics are half right on Amy

Commentators have recently compared singer Amy Winehouse and husband Blake Fielder-Civil to dead junkies Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen.

This misses one important point. Both Vicious and Spungen were talentless wastes of space. Amy Winehouse is a remarkably talented young lady - only her skanky husband is the waste of space.

Memo to Sunday Mirror's "distinctive new voice" Fiona McIntosh: It's Fielder-Civil, not Civil-Fielder as you wrote in your debut column.

Pathetic Pete is a waste of space

Once again Pete Doherty, the miserable excuse for a human being, finds himself in court. This time he has admitted driving illegally while in possession of crack, heroin, ketamine and cannabis.

The judge said that he has 4 September to sort himself out or she is will give him either "a custodial sentence or a community order". How many more times must this waste of space appear before the courts before he is sent to prison?

Doherty feels affronted that his "talent" as a songwriter is not recognised while other hell-raisers are, if not worshipped, then at least secretly admired.

There is one hell of a difference between Doherty and other rock'n'rollers - they have or had a discernible talent. Can anyone name a song written by Doherty? Has anyone ever heard a Doherty song being sung, whistled or hummed in the streets or even at karaoke?

No, because he is a talentless waste of space.
