not exactly a shocker by any means... i have no clue who she is.

Talented Grammy winning singer songwriter who just couldn't seem to handle the pressure.

Talented Grammy winning singer songwriter who was a hard core drug addict to be exact.

"She acknowledged struggling with eating disorders and told a newspaper that she had been diagnosed as manic depressive but refused to take medication. Soon accounts of her erratic behavior, canceled concerts and drink- and drug-fueled nights began to multiply."




Interesting statistic just reported on the news..Kurt Cobain Jimi Hendricks Janis Joplin and now Amy Winehouse all died when they were 27.

Addiction is a sad situation.

I pray she is at peace now.

Added a bit in there for you.

Just saw a thing on the news about how quite a few famous gacked-out rocks stars checked out of the Life Motel at 27.

Pretty wild.

where's the brilliant comments from the dark side geniuses that would like to see drugs legalized...

would that be "brillaint" or brilliant?

sorry, couldn't help myself.....no, it wasn't the drugs.

legalizing weed or legalizing "drugs" has two completely different meanings. You'll still have people who do it to excess. Just like alcohol, McDonalds, or the casino.

Portugal has been treating drug abuse as a medical problem vs a criminal problem and has had very good results.

She died doing something illegal....you know the kind of nanny legislaion that was meant to keep her alive.

Perhaps you have her blood on your hands based upon your ignorant assumptions. Repent... and hope that at some point you can see clearly enough to pull your head out of your ass....then pray for legalization and treatment for the addicted.

PROHIBITION DOESN"T WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She didn't die from smoking dope -which is the only drug at the moment the masses really want legalized.

No one here is pressing the legalization of crack, crank, smank, black tar heroin, or paint huffing......

RW give up. Folks who have not been around drugs do not get it and doubt if they ever will as there is a difference between decriminalizing and making things legal. We have filled our prisons trying change peoples social behavior to the point that we turn violent individuals loose but keep the person busted for a gram of hash.

Go figure.

Well can't say she was in denial about her drinking problem, also said on the news her dad wrote her eulogy months ago.

Better dead than a dead head.
I have a nephew who fried his brain.....he still functions...kinda......
He didn't take enough, IMO.

I hear ya' Rvrguy. We have more folks in prison than China.

Way to show your brain power, Einstein.

One of her well publized drunken on stage performances shortly before her death, Morrison and Joplin also had theirs.

You basically have the video of one of her last performances and the reason that she cancelled the tour and was at her home to die.

Fair and balanced though.

Jim Morrison isn't dead. He became a Sasquach.

You can see the transition.

got ya on the <sp>

good jobs douches!

Now get this forum back to where it belongs and post phaggot 80's music video's

Opinions very on Amy Winehouse's talent and singing. I read the attached opinion of her in The Root, an online mag with a self-described African- American prespective. I haven't listened to much of Winehouse's music myself but have listened to a lot of blues and soul music since I bought my first Fats Domino 45 in 1957. The author of this article thought she was the real deal: http://www.theroot.com/views/amy-winehouse-and-blues
