Amy Winehouse dead

[Douger]

27. Go study that number. It's in the script

 

[Sarah G]

Yeah Boo Fucking Hoo.

She'll join all the other overrated overdosed musical talents in Rock N Roll Pantheon of Overrated Overdosed Musical Talents. Meanwhile other sober, living yet struggling musicians really worth listening too won't get the attention or radio play they deserve, because, I should went to rehab, but I said No no no no no.

Overrated? Like Zappa?

 

[The Gadfly]

She was a talent. Sorry she died and didnt get cleaned up. I remember when I was a kid in west philly and There are a lot of people out there who didnt have her talent who had the same demons who died though. They were called junkies and looked down upon by everyone I knew.

Poor = junkie and should clean themselves up.
rich = substance abusers and should have sympathy thrown at them.

Drugs are a horrible thing and I think if we are honest, we all sort of knew what was going to happen to Ms. Winehouse. RIP.

Talent, down and out in the hood, or strung-out vet, no one asks for the demons that drive you to the bottle, or the pills, or the needle, or the blow; but at the end of the day, whoever you are, you have to choose; get clean, get sober, or die. Another wrong choice, another wasted life; but until you face your own demons, you can't judge, and if you have, you don't want to.

"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make,
a heaven of hell, or a hell of heaven." - John Milton, Paradise Lost

Yes, and it's so much easier when you are a 'celebrity' who has an entourage of hanger-on peeps that will get you whatever drugs you need, and enable that addiction.

Poor people just do shittier drugs, but in the end, income or status don't count when you're an addict that you let drugs take over your life.

All I know, EZ, is that whether it's drugs, booze, or both, when you are on the road to oblivion, the last thing you need, is someone to make that road easier.

Can't say I am shocked. She seemed insistent that she was not going to be around for long. Sad to see anyone die that young but she seemed hell bent on an early death

 

[Dabs]

I just now read this story on my homepage. I didn't listen to much of her music, come to think of it, I don't think I could even name one of her songs.
But, Lady Gaga is actually a brunette, and when she first became so popular in the music world, people were telling her she looked like Amy Winehouse, so Gaga started coloring her hair blonde, to distinguish herself from Winehouse.
But definitely, age 27 is way too young to leave this world.

Dang. I wish I'd included her in my 2011 Death Pool. She died a few years earlier than I would have guessed.

It was inevitable, she was so out of control...

Amy Winehouse Found Dead in London
23 July`11 - In tragic news, Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London flat Saturday, according to UK reports.

While the 27-year-old Back to Black crooner has faced a very public battle with addiction to drugs and alcohol, her cause of death has not yet been revealed. An ambulance was called to her residence in Camden, North London, at approximately 4 p.m. but medics were unable to save her. In a statement to the Daily Mail, the Metropolitan police said "police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05 hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased. On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene."

News of Winehouse's passing comes just a month after she gave a performance in Serbia in June in which she staggered around the stage and could barely sing the words to her own songs. The singer's camp later canceled the remainder of her European tour as a result. Prior to that concert, it appeared Winehouse was getting her life back on track, when she checked herself into rehab at the Priory clinic for her ongoing battle with alcohol addiction at the end of May. However, she quickly checked out only a few days later. Winehouse's troubles with drug and alcohol addiction were nothing new, however. After famously penning "Rehab" with Mark Ronson, the singer became known for her public bouts with both.

'I've known for a long time that my daughter has problems," Winehouse's mother, Janis Winehouse, told the UK's Sunday Mirror in 2008. "But seeing it on screen rammed it home. I realise my daughter could be dead within the year. We're watching her kill herself, slowly. I've already come to terms with her dead. I've steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road." "I look at Heath Ledger and Britney," Janis went on. "She's on their path. It's like watching a car crash - this person throwing all these gifts away."

She would have been better off locked up and behind bars at least she would still be alive. They need at least 5 years to dry out.

Now who's next?
Sheen
Lohan
?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Who honestly gives a shit.

 

[jillian]

Very sad.

 

[hjmick]

Damn shame. Not really a surprise, but still a damn shame. I liked her voice and her jazzy-bluesy stylings. Good bit of talent wasted.

 

[Oscar Wao]

Sad. Quite a talent, too.
