R.I.P. Amy Winehouse

[G On Bass]

As others have said: Tragic, but not surprising. Yet another member of the 27 Club.

A waste of a uniquely talented person, IMHO.

Sad....... both her death and the general jackassery that this thread has sprouted. I hate it when our internet acts exactly like everybody else's internet.

Here's one truth: People will be spinning "Back to Black" a hundred years from now.

That record is easily in my Top 5 all-time.

RIP

While not a fan of her music, the girl had talent. Too bad drugs messed that up.

 

[Derek Balonek]

It is a sad loss to see. I wasn't a big fan of work, but she made some good music.

 

[Shakin-Slim]

I think she was an incredible talent. I have nothing to say in regards to her lifestyle, except that the word 'choices' is disputable at best.

A true loss of an undeniable talent. Some people just need to listen with their ears, not their eyes.

R.I.P

Meh. I'm with Gard and Titus on this one.

I'm not a big fan of Back to Black.


But Frank is a great disc. One of my favorites of the last 20 years. Here is a clip of her at SW3 New Pop back before the major substance abuse.

I am not surprised, except to say I'm amazed it took this long.

I just found out, as if my day wasn't crappy enough, almost takes me back to Cobain even though I was just under hip high at the time...

I was a fan of her's years back and her music still brings back good memories. She wasn't a voice of a generation and she didn't change music, but IMO she mattered a hell of alot more than the supposed "talent" these days. Damn this put me in a sh!tty mood....:scowl:

 

[ButtUglyJeff]

I feel guilty for not being surprised by this...

+1 gig

I've been saying this for a while (and I've been around long enough and seen enough to be firmly convinced of it):

Drugs = death. It's that simple, and it's just a matter of time.

Life = Death. It's that simple, and it's just a matter of time.

Life = Death. It's that simple, and it's just a matter of time.

how prophetic.

July 23, 2011...the day Amy Winehouse turned from pop star to Icon. With her immense talent, iconic image and tragically unfulfilled life, she just became a legend. Amy, Amy, Amy...R.I.P.

Bummer, great voice & talent. R.I.P

This is a 'Rest In Peace' thread, not a 'Rip Into People' thread.

This is a 'Rest In Peace' thread, not a 'Rip Into People' thread.

+1, but sadly, this always happens around here. I wonder if this was 50 years ago, people would say negative things about Billie Holiday.

 

[greggster59]

Good pipes. Sad and tragic person. Hope you found peace, Amy.

The next post below that line that's inflammatory or disrespectful will be earning infraction points. This thread is, as someone just posted, a Rest In Peace thread - not an opportunity for you to disparage the memory of someone. You don't like Winehouse's music? Don't post here.

I seriously am not aware of her music. My wife says that I would recognize a few of her songs, but i'm not aware of her. I've seen her picture on the gossip/celebrity channels, and I like her appearance/style. When a young, I assume talented, personality dies... it's always tragic... and a shame. RIP, Ms. Winehouse!
