R.I.P. An advert if there ever was one for the anti-drugs campaign.

Sad to see anyone, no matter what substances they take, dying this young.

Didn't mind the girl like but it's her own fault I suppose.

i understand what you're saying, but really both are tragic in their own way. you really shouldn't compare tragedies as though they were top trumps, nor tell people how they ought to grieve. not a debate for today anyway.

He gave his own opinion on a forum to which I myself and others agreed.

This is not a mourning page of condolences. He quite respectfully made his views known.

You called him classy in a sarcastic remark and I'm explaining why I fully agree with him.

is right. two completely separate stories/issues, nothing to be gained at all to compare them or people's reaction to them.

I will draw a line under this saying I hope this can somehow help get others away from the same situation.

more rip messages for Amy than the Norweigans on my facebook!

Putting an 'RIP' message in your facebook status isn't the only way to show condolences like. It's not a competition either.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #91 on:** July 23, 2011, 06:42:32 pm »

Sad, sad news, can't say it is a surprise but it is still a waste of talent. Also for all of those people full of judgement of her, let's remember she too has family, it has just been a very sad couple of days all round.

rushyman · « **Reply #92 on:** July 23, 2011, 06:43:05 pm »

She knew what she was doing. Thats the weird part

Threw away a great life for no life

I agree actually with that even though I'd suggest your sentiment is wrong.

'Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind;
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee.'

Seems appropriate....

'kin ell....saw her downstairs at the carling academy in 2003 when her debut 'Frank' had just been released..she was superb..voice at its peak and she was bubbling with confidence.....had the world at her feet...

Tragic premature end of a true talent.

They actually spoke about this in a show I watched on E! regarding the curse of the age 28 - predicting her to be the next.

Its called Club 27 Cobain, Hendrix, Morrison and now Amy

Think it's worth noting that people who have had or still have heroin addictions have often had incredibly traumatic childhoods - not always a case of, 'serves em right'. RIP Amy.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #97 on:** July 23, 2011, 06:50:22 pm »

Not shocked, not suprised.

Fantastic musician, but this was inevitable.

I also find it hard to have much sympathy, i hate drug users.

When I found out I was watching Bill Hicks doing his drugs are ok routine.

I know it might make me sound callous, but I'm struggling to muster up any sympathy for her.

She was a terrific singer and hugely talented, but this story has been coming for years now.
Been on the cards for ages.

The whole Norway story has put this sort of story in perspective. 98 people, mainly kids now dead because of one crazy motherfucker is a tragedy.
A talented singer dead through their own recklessness after many years and many warnings is just a stupid waste.
And no more.

Very true.

Hello all,

Just for clarification, this is a topic about the death of Amy Winehouse. For those wanting to discuss the appalling tragedy in Norway please click here

For those who've attempted to turn this into a competition between the two, there is no open topic for this type of discussion. And with good reason.

Cheers.

Em5y · « **Reply #101 on:** July 23, 2011, 06:55:08 pm »

I understand those who have no sympathy - but the tragedy here is the waste of life, talent and the mess her family (those that loved her) are left with. RIP Amy.

probably not that simple though. her great life, or her great talent, probably was in no small part inspired by her personal demons. if she had a normal, well adjusted life, her music wouldn't have been a patch on what it was.

helmboy_nige · « **Reply #103 on:** July 23, 2011, 06:55:30 pm »

RIP.

But if I'm honest, what's really sad here is that I'm not surprised. Shame there was no one who could reach her.

Was going to say the same thing. Didn't she have a disrupted family life when she was younger? It's not always as simple as 'she took drugs, tough, she knew what she was doing'. Sadly, the reason she took them and the reasons she did what she did may have been planted a long time ago in her family life.

Not sure if you've seen it already, but try and get hold of her BBC Electric Proms gig from around 2007 (?). Another very good performance.

Have got it stored away somewhere so will try and dig it out.

Maybe people should wait until the cause of death is known before passing comment on the rights and wrongs, what happened to Heath Ledger springs to mind.

Could of been suicide, could of been accidental O.D, could of fallen over and hit her head, so until its known lay off a bit with the judgements.

FlashingBlade · « **Reply #109 on:** July 23, 2011, 07:02:35 pm »

On any other day Amy's death would have recieved an outpouring of sympathy for a life full of potential, lost...today it is is seen in context of life full or potential brutally wrenched away.

What is to be taken from today should be that what we have is precious, Amy for whatever reasons treated it far too casually, those other kids didnt get the option and I think that what will make people feel more sour to her death.

A sad day allround , for those whose Amys music meant a lot...but for the majority it will be hard not the look a the options she was presented in life and think of those Norwegian kids and think....

Tonight you must think of the parents of those Norwegian kids and Amys... the pain they must be going through...and whilst this thead may matter not one jot to the scheme of things....lets show a bit of decent human compasion eh?

There was another BBC performance that she did, 4 or 5 years ago it would have been now I think, can't remember what it was called, but that was a fantastic performance. It was some series that they did for a short while with artists playing live for the BBC, can't remember what it was called.

Well she started playing her own songs at 14 and was spotted as a vocalist on someone elses record. So Im not sure about all that.

Not every case is that way. She was a very normal person at the start of her career, I remember watching her 1st appearance on never mind the buzzcocks with Lamaar and then her 2nd, where Amstel was ripping the piss out of her (Bet he feels a million dollars about now). Like two different people. Reckon the back to black album brought fame she maybe couldnt deal with
