She became another of the 27 club instead. Just sad.

Her music will live on, but it's sad to know that there will never be any more.

Shocking? Anybody who looked at her within the last few months could see she was already dead... just waiting for her body to catch up to her brain.

She was a real talent, her music did nothing for me personally but you have to respect the ability she had.

I have nothing to say on her lifestyle, except for different people react to different problems in different ways, we aren't in a position to pass judgement.

Anyway, r.i.p

Agree,
At first I thought "what?!' then realised, I shouldn't be surprised, which is very sad,

A bit late on the bandwagon. I was expecting her to die. When I heard the news I really wasn't shocked shes been acting kinda nuts for awhile now. Sad to hear she's dead though. She had a good voice.

RIP

it is not tragic. Lennon = tragedy, Dimebag = tragedy... Winehouse = casualty.

If you smoke crack, shoot smack and drink and smoke all the time and exhaust yourself on the road and neglect every aspect of your own health and well being it is going to catch up to you.. that is not a tragedy, that is the reality of it. You are bound to die if you live that self-destructive life.

People are throwing out the word tragic so much now it has lost its meaning.

You have a very weird definition of tragedy. A tragedy, in the dramatic sense, is "a medieval narrative poem or tale typically describing the downfall of a great man". I would say Amy Winehouse's life story could very easily be described as a modern tragedy.

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.....

I wasn't really into her music, I knew her as more of a tabloid character but it's still sad that she only lived to 27.

I was watching Sky News when her death flashed up and they already had a pre-made obituary, a montage of her career and interviews with her ex-teacher, friends etc. saying how much of a loss it was. This was literally about five minutes after the news had broken. I found that really weird.
