Gosh this is so shocking she's just dead. Amy Winehouse will never take another step. She'll never say another word. But drugs are the problem. Such a way to go
I'm doing this as the article too guys, dont worry...

drugs weren't the problem, they were the cause. she had problems before and hence why she used the drugs and the alcohol in the first place. she didn't have an 'easy life', her life spiraled when her gran died then she met blake who introduced her to drugs (or at least harder ones). before that she was in to alcohol and apparently before her death she was off drugs and only drinking alcohol but it's likely she took both nearer the end which killed her. & getting help for any problem only happens if you're willing to get help, her dad tried to force in to quitting and it's not exactly easy... woops looks like i'm talking to you, just wanted to mention the drugs weren't the problem

i don't see why people say she deserved it, it's not like she murdered anyone or hurt anyone other than herself (& probably husband) & about the 92 people dying in norway, yeah it's sad but you can't use that as an excuse for not feeling sad over amy. if it happened on a different day, would it be any different? no, people will always be more interested in the death of a 'star' ... seen people on facebook making that comparison when they wouldn't care any other day, plus they were same people joking about the japanese earthquake.

well that answered my question.... not

Well FYI I wasn't commenting as if he was comparing their skills. I was quote: critisizing why it's such big news. Which yes does reply to your post, even though your post was misinformed anyway.

all of this 100%. people just love to hate, even when they are dead. the lack of respect people can have sickens me

Wow didn't expect this. She got in the wrong crowd which is a shame because she had some good songs and could've gone much further. RIP.

what on earth do you expect? she's hugely famous so OBVIOUSLY it's going to be big news and to think otherwise is simply idiotic

[HotelUser]

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?

You should really stop putting words in my mouth. I never once said her death is meaningless. Here is what I said:

1. I think it's stupid to start doing drugs. If you do drugs - great!!!1 I don't care. I think it's one of the most stupid things you can do. It's horrible she passed and drugs were involved but I'm not going to sugar coat my opinion on drugs, so sorry!

2. I used a comparison between different sorts of disorders where victims experience symptoms of addiction and everyone who read it accidentally forgot English and thought I was calling her a pedophile.

Yes, that's right. I'll be calling Amy Winehouse Anorexia!)

sorry i got mixed up with you and the other disrespectful fool in this thread

no one asked for your opinion on drugs. if that's your opinion, nice, i don't care. however there is a time and a place to air such opinions, especially when discussing the death of a person who has just been beaten in their five year long battle with such substances. it's inappropriate. why can't people just say RIP and move on anymore?

& lol i never said you were calling her a pedophile. just said that comparing pedophilia to a hard drug addiction is a stupid comparison to make. which it was, and still is no matter how hard you try to justify it.

I wont hold the fact that you don't know what addiction is against you then.
