Amy Winehouse dead

[mookiemookie]

Using this thread to come out of the woodwork and fart out your opinion on her perceived lack of talent doesn't do anything but make you look like a first class a-hole.

Think about it.

[Torplexed]

It's just sad, that's all.

A young woman with some talent and a neon sign on her forehead saying HELP ME BUT NOT REALLY and she dies.

[Hottentot]

I couldn't name even one of her songs, nor did I follow her personal life in any way, so I can't honestly say anything about them.

But 27 just is too young. For anyone. That I can say .

Think about it.

Getting sentimental over a stranger you never knew and then wallowing in your feelings over that dear loss and trying to enoble your own "sensitivity" by claiming it to be a loss of talent and a loss for arts, does not make you look any different.

If people would not have hyped her so high onto that podest so that she became dizzy and found no grip in life to hold on - then she would not have been able to fell so deep.

And maybe she would still live, and would have made something of her life instead of what there has been in self-destruction in the past years.

I see the hypocrites shedding plenty of crocodile tears there.

Unfortunately, as much as some people would like this thread to be about her musical talents, IT SADLY IS NOT.
To some, the question seems to be: Have we lost a musical talent?
Whereas to others the question is: Have we lost a life?

And the media reports, and does that mean we immediately jump on the band wagon and parrot the B.S. and one-sided regurgitated ****e that a person who is in the spotlight, for the right reasons (because she was indeed a talented musician, heck, Tony Bennett thought so), to the wrong reasons (drug abuse, alcohol abuse).
Well, you know what? That's someone's daughter out there.
How would you feel if the public critized your daughter's musical talents, rather than paid respects and moved on. And let her rest in piece.

Thanks for proving my point.

She took one too many torps in her bilge, now heading for the deep 6..

Apparently that's beyond the completely logical Mr. Spock.

Think about it.

well you would have a point if he hadn't posted his achievements and contributions in the music world which eclipse the so called talents of that particular musician. He is known for his deep insightful talented work ....though some might say this is someone whose "masterpieces" are more like the writings of Theo K or that flawed" intellect" of Breivig.

All that needs to be said about Winehouse is good voice, some good performances, some good songs and a tragic downward spiral that those closest to her couldn't stop.

This is sad but not unexpected news. I'll not judge myself as I have known a few addicts, recoverd or not and frankly different people deal differently with addiction. Some poeple can fight there way back from it but some people can really struggle. Some people, it just consumes totally so there never the same again. Even the more socially acceptable drugs can take contol of somones life, indeed I am of the oppinion that alcohol is the most distructive drug in our sociaty.

As is true with most things there are often two sides to observe. Amy Winehouse gave much love and support to her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield. I hope no one would mind if I were to post a few vidios in so that we might remember her without all the scandle and muck that is a red tops daily bread.

Jamming a few years back...


Lending support vocals on stricly come dancing...


The last time she ever took to the stage...


Rest in peace Amy.

I knew she had her problems, but was surprised to hear she died. 27 years is not very old, even for show biz people. It's just sad. It seems like when people are scarred early in life, they can never fully recover.

R.I.P.

This truly is a tragedy. I always looked at her as the icon (in the flesh) of
the collapse and death of the British Empire. The true cultural Queen of
England.

Wenn so ein Traaraa um so eine angetüterte Pappnase veranstaltet wird, und eine selbstzerstörerische Möchtegerngroß ohne Anstand und Ehrgefühl aber vollem Hang zum Volldrogenkonsum sogar als eine führende Kulturikone unserer Zeit bezeichnet wird, derweil wirklich hochwertige Kunst - auch im Sinne von "Können" - im Supermarkt zu Ramschpreisen verscherbelt und damit kaputt gemacht wird und Menschen, die wirklich etwas Respektables leisten und bewunderswerte Fähigkeiten haben, klein gehalten werden oder ignoriert werden, dann macht mich das einfach stinkig. Außerdem zeigt es, wie kaputt unsere sogenannte "Kulturlandschaft" eigentlich ist.


In Berlin gibt/gab es ein sogenanntes "Kulturzentrum", ein völlig zugeschmiertes Hausbesetzerprojekt, sozial runtergewirtschaftet, verdreckt und zugemüllt, das als großes Kulturzentrum und Gemäldegallerie bezeichnet wurde und linken Senat auch noch bezuschußt wurde. dabei sah das Haus aus wie eine eine Müllhalde, und wurde von Asozialen bewohnt, die nach Kräften gegen das soziale System lästerten, von dessen Zuwendungfen sie sich nichtsdestotrotz nährten, weil richtig zu Arbeiten etwas war, wofür sich die Farbeutelwerfer, verzeihung: die Künstler, zu%

Bad manners gents considering this is a predominantly English language forum
