Amy Winehouse has died (Page 1 of 2)

Very very sad.

A good friend on mine who doesn't like Amy Winehouse has kindly found a copy of Amy's fine cover of Carole King's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" to send to me.  He did this before the breaking news of her death.

Sorry,but i thought she peaked with the first album,started to believe her own publicity and thought she was bigger than she was.You don't get go out on stage and mumble your way through gigs incoherently and expect people to fall at your feet,though many did.Respect and thoughts to her father and family,losing a loved one can seem so unfair,but,i can't say i'll lose sleep.Just my two cents.

I bought her first album the day I first heard her voice on the radio.... and then once she found fame, - car crash waiting to happen.

Of course so very very sad, - but cannot help but think that given the amount of hard work it requires to get to and then stay at the top, (she certainly had the talent) she really, really blew it.

When in Brazil at the end of last year massive billboards were up with her face announcing the imminent arrival for a few gigs, - my family and friends over there were a bit surprised that my wife and I just shook our heads in negativity as they had only heard the positive news about her. I fear that playing locations that had not previously heard the negative side; South America and Eastern Europe was to be her last chance of picking up a career that had so nearly gone, - then with her too drunk to sing in Eastern Europe she blew it for the very last time, and perhaps it was then just only a matter of time.... So sad.

If anybody has any doubt about the talent she had:

And if you ever need a lesson on a career and even more sadly a life going downhill:

Like everyone has said, very sad news, ..... but not unexpected !
  The "27 club" has claims another.

No doubt, Amy will now knock Adele off her #1 spot!
RIP!

I believe there is some kind of ingrained, implanted, or whatever, human checkpoint, mile age marker, whatever you want to call it, in one's start of their 28th year of being alive.  I believe it is there and almost everyone, if they think about it (or are living it right now) know (knew) at some point, can feel (felt) at some point, there is an unavoidable end to all this grand life, regardless of one's style living it.  Some consciously, some unconsciously, decide it is enough then.  Maybe quit their marriage, job, education, their caring altogether, etc...
27 is young.  But it is also old.  Hopefully, and it is my sincerest hope and most emotional wish, Amy dear, that you are at true peace now.  Yes, a smile. While quite sad. 

Rock ON & Keep the Faith, Friends,
Rocket

Totally agree. Sad indeed. But she did plant the seed for singers such as Adele and Duffy. I hope that's her legacy. I also agree with Rocket. Hendrix, Joplin to name a few...all gone at 27.    I hate wasted lives. Sorry for those that love her. I wish them peace.     Cathy
