Amy Winehouse found dead

[Richie]

Wow guys shut up arguing, the chick died and all you can do is make comparisons and make her look bad, show some respect.

[Jordy]

The paedofile and drug takers comparison was particularly unnecessary and quite frankly I'm disappointed in it. There was no need at all for it David.

How on earth can you compare Amy Winehouse with Michael Jackson? Jackson was a legend, Winehouse was an idiot with a good voice. I think that people like you blow things out of proportion, one death of a druggy shouldn't be a bigger story than the massacre in Norway.

i can compare the two because they were/are both important modern day pop culture figures who made an impact on the music industry and achieved huge record sales during their peak and made a lasting impact in the media. the only difference is michael jackson had a much longer career, and guess why? because amy died so young.

and that's just how our world is. deal with it appropriately. and i think you will find that amy will go on to become a legend, no less because of idiots like you that waste your time discussing and hating on someone who you apparently don't care about.

this = stupid. lol he's not comparing their skill. why is when they had their last hit anything at all to do with their deaths?

No. Amy Winehouse's career was ruined years ago, when she became addicted. She had a couple of sucessful albums, and a couple of globally successful singles. That was it.
You're comparing a one hit wonder with an icon. You go anywhere in the world and half of everyone you ask will know about Michael Jackson. Then ask who knows Winehouse, maybe 5% at best.

It's critisizing why it's such big news.

yeah because i do have the time to read through 7 pages. anyway, in response to your "giant red letters", the comparison is STILL stupid. and YES it was a comparison, hence you said there was "similarities". being a pedophile doesn't mean you are "addicted" either, it's just a (wrong) sexual preference. if you touched up one child you would be considered a pedophile, you don't need to be addicted. it's just a ******ed comparison and i can't believe i'm even discussing it with you. it's a stupid argument. try something else if you want to be taken seriously.

Pedophiles recommit crimes of pedophilia and are classified as people with a psychiatric disorder. It's a mental disorder and pedophiles with it probably don't like looking in a mirror and saying, "urgh wholly crap I'm a pedophile." I was comparing the fact that pedophiles like heavy drug addicts don't typically want to continue doing the negative unhealthy things they are doing but they don't know how to stop.

If I had my way, I'd bring back the death sentence to Canada and start prosecuting pedophiles. Now, if you still cannot understand that the comparison here is between common symptoms of addictions, and not between the actions those with addictions take I only have one thing to show you:



I have bolded the term 'pedo' above because contrary to popular belief it is okay in this world to compare two things in different ways. Even if one of those things is a seriously bad thing, and the other a seriously seriously bad thing.

well that answered my question.... not

not read the whole thread, frankly for a reason. you can't compare amy to a peado nor can you compare her to michael jackson. pretty ****** up that your all arguing over her, just say your rip and move ON other people have died today too, just because she's famous doesn't make her death super special.

Shaz, nobody's comparing Amy to a pedophile like that. Read the thread and reply

how is she a one hit wonder then? what on earth am i talking to at the moment?

so 5% of people know who amy winehouse is. right. turn on any news channel right now, 8/10 of the trending topics on twitter are to do with her death and her name was the top trending topic on twitter within ten minutes of her death being announced. her last album was HUGELY significant in pop culture and she is a widely recognized figure all around the world.

obviously everyone knows who michael jackson is, but for someone who had such a short career as amy she achieved great things and popularity. her career was only ended by her death. so many artists have bounced back after horrible periods in her life, so who is to say she wouldn't have.

a death under these circumstances is tragic, regardless of how well known you are. stop trying to dismiss that.

please stop being stupid because i know you aren't

so okay whatever i will just disregard how stupid the comparison is and accept it. so how in anyway does that mean her death is so meaningless?
