Weller: Winehouse is a role model

Paul Weller has described Amy Winehouse as a great role model and a major talent, saying her drugs and drink problems make no difference to her talent.

The praise just keeps rolling in for Amy Winehouse, with Paul Weller taking things just one stage further again yesterday, claiming that she is: "a great role model". The Mod-father also said she was one of his favourite singers ever, adding: "I don't think the drugs and drink and that make a scrap of difference, really. I think you should judge people on their talent and on that level she's up there, a major talent". He's right about her talent. Not sure about the role model thing though. Not that it's necessarily fair to expect talented musicians to have to take on the job of 'role model' too.
