It’s been a quiet month for Amy Winehouse. With most people I’d think no news is good news, but with Wino I just think no news means lots of drugs have been consumed this last month. It’s been awhile since Winehouse gave one of her traditional “Show up at my doorsteps and ask me whatever you want” interviews. Not just because her record company has done all they can to forbid it, but because reporters are afraid to get within punching distance of the wreck.

But a French reporter braved the steps of Winehouse’s terrace earlier this week to ask her a few questions. Amy obliged, through the traditional means of her front door intercom.

Amy Winehouse appears to have spoken about her recent personal troubles to a French journalist via her door telecom. The interview, captured on video, is believed to have taken place outside the singer’s North London home earlier this week. During the two minute conversation, Winehouse speaks passionately about the “love” she feels for her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is serving a 27-month prison sentence.

Winehouse was asked by the journalist what she thinks her parents opinion is about her marriage. She replied: “Well my mum doesn’t know Blake very well. And Blake unfortunately was taken away from me before they could really get to know each other. My Dad loves Blake.

“Obviously there is so much lies and stuff made up in the press. I find it frustrating because all of this has made by Dad and Blake realise a lot of things about each other and it is hard for them to have a genuine relationship when so much lies are written but my Dad loves Blake.”

The female journalist also asks Winehouse to explain why she missed the Rock en Seine festial in Paris last August. At the time, Winehouse’s spokesperson said she was unable to travel to the event because she was ill. However, in the video – which can be seen below – Winehouse suggests that she had fallen out with her tour manager before the event.

“I had an argument with my tour manager, he was being an idiot,” Winehouse said. The singer also tells the journalist that she has written two new EPs and an album – although she doesn’t suggest when they will be released.

If nothing else Winehouse sounds remarkably sober and with it, so that’s nice to hear. She doesn’t sound drunk or high or confused. She answers in a normal, mostly rational way. I mean most of us would argue with her statements about her parents and her husband… and frankly everything else. But it makes sense that that’s what she believes. She doesn’t sound rage-filled or anyone I’d be afraid of.

I really wonder what it is Amy’s been holed up doing for the last few weeks. There’s still time for a turnaround, if she wants to face facts and get her life together.
