Amy Winehouse DEAD!

[canedge]

she was incredibly talented, but, sadly, incredibly messed up

Thats all I needed to know.

Was she really talented? I never really listened to her stuff. I always assumed since she was so overexposed that she had no talent. (I am not trying to be insensitive here, I just don't know)

Deeply disturbed to hear of death of Amy Winehouse. Saw her in the studio this summer, looking good & singing beautifully. She was a talent.

Neil McCormick seems to think she was talented. He is critical enough for me.

RIP Amy.

there is another way


you could just give Back to Black a fair listen or two
after I heard one song, that's what I did
and I thought she was very good, that was her best work


she may not fit your taste, that is fine too.

That one isnt really indicative of her sound though. Try this one

And not her song, but what a voice

She actually had a great jazz voice imo...and she used to play too.

early days:

she was in fact very talented. So sad how she destroyed herself.

Sad.

This news is not surprising but sad. She had talent when she was at the top of her game, but her love for the lifestyle she couldn't shake made her a hot mess who would be dead in just a matter of time. RIP.

Is it just me (and no slight intended on people who like these songs best) or is there an incredibly sad irony that people loved songs with themes like Rehab and Addicted the most...

I loved pre Black Amy

It was the way she sold them.

Back to Black is full of drug references, so I guess it's inevitable (I always skip Rehab though. So sick of that one). Frank has some decent songs, but I dont think it comes close to the greatness of BtB

 

[gvox]

I guess...she had me early 2000s tho...I was disappointed with Rehab

I am heartbroken about Amy's death. Such talent. So young to die.

 

[Slapnutz]

Back to Black was incredible, especially the title track (album version).

I'm guessing number one album tomorrow, then?

Wow, that was fast: AMY WINEHOUSE RIP MEMORIAL KEYRING | eBay

 

[deep]

Rehab and B to B
is what put her on the map.

She had great vocal styling, with the jazz stuff and the more popular R and B, soul style, Back to Black stuff. itty bitty girl with a big voice.

My favourite Winehouse tune

‪Amy Winehouse - Addicted (11)‬‏ - YouTube

Mine as well, easily. It's odd that her best song didn't even make the album proper, though she did open many shows with it.


And in response to gvox, Addicted is about marijuana, hardly something that leads to an early grave. And of course you can't get addicted to weed anyway, only gain a dependency.

 

[lazarus]

Also, favorite line from that song: "It's got me addicted/does more than any dick did"

 

[canedge]

How is her dealer going to make a living now?

 

[powerhour24]

I wasn't a fan, and at the time of Back to Black wished the world would stop heaping praise on someone who's image was to buck the need for help from addiction, but this of course is tragic, truly, truly sad.

 

[Purplereign]

damn; breaks my heart when addiction wins the race . . .RIP Amy

 

[LemonMelon]

I have no idea why my jaw is agape over this. Seemed too obvious, I suppose.

What really blows is that she lived a shitty, shitty lifestyle for so long that I figured she'd pull a Keef and live to be a million regardless. And maybe make some really kickass records in the meantime; I always liked her music.

RIP, Amy.

 

[tiny dancer]

Not really surprised, but may she RIP

 

[tiny dancer]

Been gone for the most of the day, so I just learned about this. So tragic & sad Again made, she RIP.

Realllly?

Neil McCormick article-
Amy Winehouse had talent to burn. Instead, it burned her - Telegraph

[clarityat3am]

I was never a fan and never really listened to her but it was truly a shock to read about this today. I thought she might beat the odds. Never realized she was that young. Very sad.

 

[cobl04]

Damn.

 

[powerhour24]

Yeah, I can't say I knew she was still in her 20's from all that hard-living.

 

[Hewson]

As others have stated, not terribly shocking, but terribly sad.
