Amy Winehouse dead

Was inevitable, waste of a great voice. Another talented voice lost to dugs/alcohol.

Oh no, the world is a druggie short

but this is unbecoming from an otherwise intelligent commenter. remember, buster, we know what you used to look like, and if you weren't spliff powered, i'm a munce pudding.

antikristuseke · 07-23-11, 04:11 PM

I wasn't. I have smoked weed, and on very rare occasions still do. But the total amount of times I have part taken in that is lower than my age.
Drug use and drug abuse are two completely different things in my book.

joegrundman · 07-23-11, 04:13 PM

i stand by my statement. it was unbecoming and disappointing.

in her short life she contributed lots. what's your major contribution that you can be so contemptuous of her?

Skybird · 07-23-11, 04:23 PM

Never understood the hype around her. She was absolutely talent-free, and that noise she made hardly could be called a voice so well that you should bring it to the ears of the world by what optimists use to euphemistically call "singing". Beside her lacking skill to sing, she had no other entertaining qualities on stage as well, because watching a stoned or drunken person collapsing or vomitting on stage is not entertaining, and her small steps when hoofing around had no entertaining attraction and was no dancing either. Her drug career and alcoholism is tragic, but not different to so many other lives derailed by drugs and alcohol as well but whose names nobody takes care of.

It is strange that our medias fill headlines with excesses like hers. Is thgere no real beuaty in the world to report, is there no important event going on somewhere? Are there no better idols we can offer to young people for orientation? She was no idol. She was a textbook example of what models you should not follow or admire.

oh dear! absolutely talent free he says!

here's something more to your taste skybird

It is not her personally, but every talented artist, among whom I don't really count her to be, who wasted their life due to substance abuse which irritates me deeply. I just did not sugar coat what I had to say.

And besides my inappropriate sense of humour I have no contributions, but that goes down the line of thinking where you are not allowed to criticize unless you can do better yourself which is something I do not agree with, unless it refers to something tangible, like engineering a bridge for instance, and even there it would be rarely applicable.

there is criticism, and there is needless contempt and faux tough-boy hardassery. all disguised in this thing you mistake for a sense of humour.

It's a shame that some people make fun of people that have passed on.
Making jokes or disparaging remarks about that person is really sad and in bad taste.
Who gives a crap about the musical ability of this person, when, in actual fact, she is dead?
A person has died and we make fun of it, in our own little way.
I am sorry but that is disgusting to me.
I am saddened by her death, and indeed by any death. No matter what reasons or abilities, or lack of that she may have had.
May she rest in peace and let us hope that other people can learn from her trobled life that others don't needlessly follow in the same footpath and we spare 1 more life.

Skybird · 07-23-11, 07:16 PM

To make that one sure, I commented on that part of her life that she made public all by herself and by which she disgraced herself. Public is public, and if somebody acts with so much lack of grace and honour, this does not all get deleted just because that person dies. Dying is no merit, nor an achievement. Her role was hyped and spiked in the media, and I reserve the right to question the wisdom of giving people such questionable biographies as idols, or presenting performances like hers as standards by which to define arts or artistic quality. Doing so does damage in the world of the still living - by adding deformation to said arts.

Today dozens and hundreds of people have died in Somalia again due to religious fanatism, drought, and starvation. That puts the meaning of a croaking Amy Whitehouse for the world of music into relation, I would say. But the headlines over her and the headlines over today's events in Somalia do not show that relation.

Thanks for that comment.

I know its a shame, these celebrities must think that they are immune to drugs and alcohol

mookiemookie · 07-23-11, 01:32 PM

I think I burned a hole in her first CD from playing it so much. Sad. Not a shock, but sad.

Schroeder · 07-23-11, 01:34 PM

Another talent wasted. While I never liked her lifestyle I have to give her credit for a great voice. 27 isn't an age to go.
