And again you have failed to understand my post.
I wasn't the one comparing Winehouse to Norway.

What really disappoints me about this thread is the way some individuals have come in here and used it as a vehicle for their own self righteousness.
Why on earth people feel the need to express their distaste about the way someone dies is beyond me.
The death of any young individual is a tragedy regardless of it's implications.

I'd appreciate it if future posts in this thread concentrated more on the passing of a talented artist, as opposed to crass comparisons of events elsewhere.
And the merits of who and who shouldn't be mourned more.
Unfortunately, I doubt that'll happen judging by the lack of respect some of the current members display on here these days.

Because the forums overrun with erudite snobs who've spent too much time in school and have been conditioned, based on a meritocracy, to challenge things as a showing of knowledge.

In other words: "we've got a bunch of ****ing want-to-be smarty-pantses waving their dick around."

Its a shame that people can no longer take the high road. I just wanted to say she was immensely talented vocally and for that i'll mourn her loss. She clearly was in the clutches of a huge drug addiction and its sad to see her go down that road so many have before. I really enjoyed her doo wop inspired voice it was a powerful instrument and she should be remembered for it. R.I.P. Amy.
