Amy Winehouse found dead

Pete Zicato · 07-23-2011, 11:54 AM

I guess she should have gone to rehab.

Wow.

I am very saddened by this news. I thought Amy had a big talent. Such a damn shame.

Winehouse's reckless life often called to mind the doomed pop stars of earlier generations, including Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain — all of whom also died at the age of 27.

Her death came less than two months after her latest release from a rehabilitation program and weeks following a disastrous performance where she was booed off a Belgrade, Serbia, stage by disappointed fans.

Rehab is ICU for addiction. It's not a cure; it's a stop-gap, last gasp. You have to want to be sober MORE than you want to be high.

Poor Amy. All the rehabs in the world couldn't have helped her.

Tragic. What a tragic waste of awesome talent.

This was written on the wall years ago, it just caught up with her. Her music sucked in a big way anyhow.

Aliantha · 07-23-2011, 07:04 PM

That's obviously a matter of opinion Merc. I liked her style of music very much.

I'm a little surprised it took so long. It's a tragic story, but I don't think anyone is surprised her life ended this way.

Rhianne · 07-23-2011, 08:48 PM

What way?

glatt · 07-23-2011, 08:59 PM

Well, that's a good question. I've been away from the news today and have only seen mention of her death. I assumed it was an overdose. Wasn't it?

Rhianne · 07-23-2011, 09:02 PM

I don't know.

Gravdigr · 07-24-2011, 03:04 AM

I don't think anyone who knows who Amy Winehouse is will be too surprised by this.

Still awful, though...

A lot of people die at 27 of booze and drugs, it doesn't put them in the same caliber as Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison.

I doubt Winehouse would have achieved any note if it were 50 years ago, or even 30 years ago.

You don't think she had talent? Or no lasting power? Or both?

I thought she had a lot of talent - certainly more than a lot of high-selling "singers" like Britney Spears, etc.
