Waste of talent I have so say.

[jariel]

The newest member of the 27 Club.

[Tuthmosis]

Now I know for sure she was talented. The gifted die young. The untalented never die.

[Dash Global]

drugs kill

[Vicious]

Hardly surprising given the destructive lifestyle she lived. Unfortunate though, I liked he music.

[Dash Global]

guess she should have went to REHAB after-all...

[UrbanNerd]

Ummm.....

I think most of us KNEW we would be hearing about her tragic situation in the not-to-distant future.

[speakeasy]

I'm surprised she survived to be 27. Mentally she died long ago, her body just now caught up. Great talent, in the prime of her life and career and now six feet under. You want to feel sorry for people, but when hard core drugs are involved and everyone has tried their best to intervene but to no avail, what can you say? She created the life she wanted.

[Moma]

Just like the crocodile hunter, it was just a matter of time, I am surprised as well that she made it that long..

[Mr.GM]

It was just a matter of time,what a waste.
Wino had it coming for so long....

[Excelsior]

I'm shocked, but I'm not shocked. Its some big news, but then again given her lifestyle...

[Theogreat]

Damn I can't believe she joined the 27 club with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison....

[Vicious]

How many threads are you guys going to weigh down with your bickering?

[bengalltigerr]

junkies die sooner or later

Fine words sir.

Why does anyone give a fuck if some artist kills herself? They do this all the time. My Dad's sister ate a bottle of sleeping pills. Left behind my 10 year-old cousin.

Several hundred children were trapped for 2 hours on a tiny island with a maniac with a shotgun, an assault rifle, and a pistol. 85 were executed. The rest are going to spend the rest of their lives tormenting themselves over why they survived, and their friends didn't.

Seriously, Amy Winehouse and her breed are a selfish bunch and killing themselves (by OD'ing, too) is just a testament to their weak character.

I know that sounds brutal and cold. But no less true.

[Mrs. Chocolate]

I will miss her!
At least I went to her show in BR

Hard to disagree.

Have far more sympathy with the Norway victims.

Agree. 92 innocent victims that for sure would choose life if they could.

About Amy, all I can say is that "they" tried to make her go to rehab, but she said "No, No, No"

[jariel]

Police described Amy’s death as “unexplained”. But friends who have seen her over the last few weeks say she had hit the self-destruct button over the last two days in wild drinking ­sessions around Camden, North London.

A friend said: “She has spent the last seven days on a massive bender and people were saying she’s going to drink herself to death.”

Sources claim she died from a “bad” ecstasy pill combined with huge amounts of alcohol and the fact she suffered from emphysema.

Someone would care if "some artist" kills herself because she has made a positive impact on that persons life and society. Why does anybody give a fuck if some random person kills himself or gets killed? Sure, it's sad, but this random person has not affected me, my family, or my friends in any sort of way. On the other hand, (insert "some artist's" name here) has provided me with hours of entertainment, artistic inspiration, and has motivated me to do cool things with my life and break shit.

(This has nothing to do with Amy Winehouse or your dad's sister, but since you asked, there ya go...)

[oldnemesis]

Have to admit this is the first time I've ever heard of Amy Winehouse.

[MiXX]

I don't feel sympathy for someone who was given a very rare shot at stardom through her music and abused it in every aspect she could: drugs, violence, alcoholism.

I personally know dozens of talented musicians who would die for the opportunities she had and give back to humanity.

Mixx

[Moma]

There's a bit of a pun in her surname..Winehouse

[MiXX]

I just saw one of her videos for the first time. Seriously, she sounds like shit. I don't see how anyone can call her a musical genius. She sounds (and looks) like a tranny!
