Amy Winehouse found dead

I can't believe this is referred to as an "illness". It just isn't it's self inflicted. An illness is something you have no control over.

I wasn't a giant fan of her music anyway and so this will be no great loss to me. I do feel for her family and friends, especially to die so young, but let's be honest, it was to be expected unless she changed her lifestyle. I very much doubt she could have made any coherrent songs over the last year or two anyway.

I suspect her song "Rehab" will go down as one of the most ironic singles of all time, as opposed to iconic.

Thats not the definition of illness at all.

yeah, and she even goes off stage for some reason, probably forgot where she was. I still love the performance though, oh and so do the 100,000 people in the crowd:)

In a car crash way, but for crying out loud there are much more deserving artists for you attention. She was awful and i think she was liked mostly by 'Cool Cats' that liked her ironically

No, it won't, because that's not what irony means. Damn it, is it really such a hard definition to understand?

i·ro·ny1    /ˈaɪrəni, ˈaɪər-/
[ahy-ruh-nee, ahy-er-]

–noun, plural -nies.
1. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
2. Literature .
a. a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated.
b. (especially in contemporary writing) a manner of organizing a work so as to give full expression to contradictory or complementary impulses, attitudes, etc., especially as a means of indicating detachment from a subject, theme, or emotion.

Really wish people would stop using words when they have no idea what they mean. It's fatuous.

She wasn't awful at all - she had a fantastic voice and wrote good songs, and you can quote me on that as someone who has actually written music and made records, as opposed to the other fools in this thread who think that just because they can speak (or type) that makes their opinion valid.

Feel free to say that you didn't like her style, but I love the way the idiot robots here think they can pass judgement on someone's musical ability. Please go ahead and argue with me, but before you do post the link to the albums you have made. I'll start. :)
 
She was a disgusting person i have no sympathy for her. I dont want people like that as role models for our children they should rightfully pay a price and now she had. Many more to follow here's hoping.

Irony=something made out of iron fact.

You do know she was capable of playing instruments right?




She was both a fantastic singer and musician. People have forgotten because for the last six years, her personal life took over from her music.

Anyone who thinks the above is crap is foolish, deluded and has no idea about music culture or society whatsoever.That's Genius right there.

Now she self destructed and took drugs and then died. Get over it, This does not make her a bad person or anything else for that matter.

You're either a troll or incredibly stupid :p

You didn't even know the women.

Pay a price for what?

What harm did she do to anyone other than herself?

He should have gone first.....useless breather of air that he is.

I do feel for her family, but for her, hell no.
She chose to live her life the way she wanted. Fair enough, but she paid the consequences and to her selfish end.....now her family are suffering.

Anyone thinking that someone else is to blame needs to wise up. She shoved that crap up her nose and the alcohol from those bottles down her throat.
She was a decent singer, good voice, nothing more imho (accepted some people disagree). Certainly no stage presence, unless you count her drunken dancing and relying on the audience to finish the songs for her!

Just angers me that its all over the news and people are devastated....
27 years old, 2 albums.....self inflicted train wreck of a life, nothing else!

End of.

Docherty....beware you ******!

I completely agree with this, her own fault. People should be concerned about what happened in Norway rather than this boozed up druggie.

Agreed, and possibly less of the nasty, spiteful, moralising tone of the majority of posts in this thread.

I have spend the last few days reminding myself what a brilliant outstanding natural talent that poor girl had.

She was up there with Dusty Springfield and La Bassey for sheer power and inventive melody, such a sad shame but as Alex Petridis put it in today's Guardian:
"..she was famous because she had the talent to burn, not because she burnt it"
