Status Quo man on Winehouse and Doherty

Status Quo's Francis Rossi has criticised Amy Winehouse after Mojo named her Woman Of The Year, and dismissed Pete Doherty as lacking talent.

The Quo's Francis Rossi has been dissing poor old Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty.

Speaking to the Daily Record after Mojo named Winehouse 'Woman Of The Year', Rossi said: "Amy is supposed to be great but I can't stick her. I like a couple of records but I'm not sure if people will like her in three years. I'm not knocking her for the sake of it. But I have been subjected to so much of Amy and her antics that I just think, 'Fuck off'. What message does giving her Woman Of The Year send to young people? There has to be some responsibility somewhere, surely? She may be able to sing, but what gets through to the kids in the street is the fact that she is out of her tree, falling over and not being able to keep her hands out of her knickers".

On Pete, he got even more bitchy, continuing: "Doherty, on the other hand, isn't even worth entertaining. At least Amy has serious talent. Pete hasn't got anything. There's no talent there, otherwise he would do something. He doesn't count. He seems quite intelligent but the records are grim."
