Tasteless remark!
Did it ever cross your mind that the self abuse could have been due to a life of personal and profound unhappiness?
Or do you just think she was having a laugh?
There by the grace of God...

I disagree. She was determined to die and now there will be a love fest because people like her music, just like the months long love fest when Jerry Garcia died. Some people are just determined to do what they want and frankly, if it leads to their death, I have no sympathy for them, no matter how good their art might have been. People need to be able to divorce themselves from what they like to hear and the people who create that, especially if those people are fools.
In my opinion, the terrorist attack in Norway is of decidedly more importance than the self inflicted death of Ms. Winehouse and tells us so much more about human beings than her death ever could. However, I suspect that as a story, her death will get way more mainstream coverage than that attack. Is that how it should be? You decide.

Never mind what you thought you knew about her as a person. Here she is as an artist. That's all that concerns me.
I'll leave the crass comments to others.
If you can't hear it, you'll never feel it.

No, we lost a drunken drug addict and you need to come to terms with that. There will be no more of what you like because she was seriously undisciplined. When she took her last fix or drank herself into final insensibility, do you think she was in any way caring about what you might be missing? Uh, no.....
