Amy Winehouse found dead

[Grig]

can't believe she died..."They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'YES, YES, YES and died"

That's drugs for you children, don't do them. I did see it coming though, after 2007 it was a downwards spiral, she was in the studios in March looking healthy, but whatever it was got the better of her. Her latest performances consisted of her mumbling too.

To add, she did however revitalize the British music industry in her time with her jazzy unique voice and that is only something be to be grateful for. Artists like Adele need to be thankful to her.

Oh there's no denying that she was mentally unstable - as a result of her drug taking. However, she made the choice at the end of the day when she could have not taken drugs even while those around her warned of the dangers (her father and her mother both publically). I also very much doubt she began to take drugs from when her career started, as on the news today a childhood friend told of how she used to smoke weed when younger (and unknown). She made the choice, she paid the price and you apologising for her won't recitify her silly choice nor will it put others off taking the same route now, will it?

weed isn't dangerous though, and wasn't what ruined her life, especially compared to the stuff she got hooked on, heroin + crack etc. it was also confirmed she also started to take those class a drugs after she met her long term boyfriend.

yes there was a choice but she was evidently so mentally screwed up due to all the pressure on her and issues in her personal life that it seemed like a good idea. it's just an awful situation, and it's not like this is the first time this has happened to someone in the spotlight.

also don't go putting words in my mouth. i have never "apologised" for her taking drugs, i never said it was a good idea and it is my personal belief that her family and friends weren't hard enough on her trying to get her better, hence her going in and out of rehab time and time again. clearly she was so depressed that she just didn't care and the only one she listened to was her boyfriend, who effectively drugged her up.

the fact is that this is a tragedy and i am listening to back to black now realising what a big loss this is to the music industry. if people like you want to keep being disrespectful at a time that is horribly depressing for her family, friends and fans then you keep doing that. but if it ever happens to someone you know then i hope you remember this incident and have some understanding of how hard it is for them, there's a time and a place to discuss things like this and the DAY of her death is not it. please have some respect.

I agree completely with David and Dan in this thread. I'm gonna be honest and say that Amy's death is no dent in my lifestyle. There are obviously ways to get help with drugs but that is ultimately useless if you don't have the self-control to sort the problem out for yourself. I don't agree with drugs and I never will, it's stupid. I don't agree that experimenting with drugs is "fun" in the slightest either - you know it's stupid and dangerous so you're only putting yourself at risk; obviously if you want to be stupid then do it on your own head.

I also think a couple of people in this thread need to get down off their high horse and realise they're posting on a HABBO forum for TEENAGERS. You're not bigger or better than anyone else here so accept others opinion and get over it. I have no idea why everyone is being so touchy here just because they don't share the same opinion that Amy Winehouse was some kind of God-like figure. She's an artist. I didn't know her in real life, so I won't be losing sleep over it. Condolences to the family, obviously.

someone has died. it's sad. i assume you know the 90+ people that died in norway that everyone seems to feel the need to compare amy's death to as well right? you don't? so you can't be sad about that either?

obviously they are different situations but there's a time and a place to air your negative opinions about someone. it's just disrespectful, the woman has been dead for like 9 hours. she never hurt or killed anybody and had a troubled past. makes me sick. if you don't care, fine. but just have some RESPECT.

I think you seem to be forgetting that the "90+ people that died in Norway" had no choice about it. It's 90 people and they were innocent individuals who were going out their daily lives, and ended up with some maniac shooting them. If the gunman had turned around at shot himself, I'd give him the same attitude I'm giving Amy Winehouse.

Feel free to start a debate thread if you don't like "negative opinions" in here, although I'm not sure why such rules would be imposed on a site which is completely unrelated to the woman and therefore yield it pointless. I think "troubled past" is also somewhat ambiguous and the reasons for that "troubled past" are open to various theories which you or nobody else here will be able to pin down for sure.

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.

why the **** do you think, are you actually that stupid? an a-list celebrity has died, of course its big news. michael jackson was on the news for weeks, so obviously winehouse will be

amy winehouse did not choose to die. that's ******* stupid to suggest. amy winehouse was also innocent. suffering from depression and bipolar and a drug ADDICTION is not good. she was depressed, meaning she blatantly didn't care about her life enough to have the will power to stop.

amy was really ill, i can't believe how horrible and disrespectful you are being. i never suggested a rule change either so i don't know where on earth you got that comment from.

someone has DIED. if you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say it at all. maybe if you knew someone who got so hooked on drugs as she did you would have a bit more sympathy. i can't believe you genuinely think it was a decision that she made... she was an innocent person and her life has ended. you're disgusting.

She has control over her actions. She isn't just stuck in a body which is taking over her life. She made the decision to start drugs in the first place and thereafter continue it. Why are you failing to understand this?

come back to me when you have met an actual drug ADDICT who has an ADDICTION to drugs. it's not as easy as waking up and not taking them anymore. unfortunately she was stuck in a body where her mind had a few screws loose. she was ill. YOU are the one that is failing to understand something here.

[Mathew]

Well in that case, it depends on how you perceive addictions but I'm not falling to the trap of worshipping someone just because they were (apparently) ill. You'll also find that I haven't once said that she "deserved" to die, only the simple fact that I won't be mourning her death and defending her illegal practice.
