Amy Winehouse goes back to black...
 

Permanently.

Pity she couldn't keep her shit together, she had a ton of talent.

Who's surprised it ended this way for her? Let's see a show of hands...

Anyone?

Bueller?

I was off by 2 years in her death po ol

Yeah, damn shame about that.
Another example of what happens when a person either doesn't get the help that's out there, or can't stick with the program. :idk:

guess the whole rehab thing didnt work, was this much of a surprise though.

I don't understand why it's a shame. Talent? Sure. But, she was a wreck. Crack whores die every day... this one was not a shock.

It's a shame because we don't get to hear her sing anymore.

JC

Can't say that I've ever heard her sing.

That has been a shame for a long time...

you know of this concept of recorded music so you can hear it over and over :lol:

I've got around 120 people on my Facebook. There was one Norway related post when that news broke. There were 9 Winehouse related posts when that news broke.

#whatthefuckiswrongwithyoufuckingpeople

Too bad. :(

Hate to see anyone go that way.

Can't help someone if they don't want the help. I wasn't surprised when I heard he news last night.

James

Is that how these CD's are supposed to work?

I've been listening once, and then throwing them out the window. Thanks for the tip.

JC

Relax.

It's all about what touches people's lives directly.

Like it or not, music has that power to reach many people, and touch their lives directly, all over the world.

Other than smell, which is one of the 5 basic human senses, only music can instantly transport you to a time and place in your mind.

Music can bring together people from diverse lands and cultures. It connects people.

Music is very powerful. Short of being a politician, it's hard to ever touch the lives of quite as many people.

It may not seem like it to the outsider, but music & fame are not only remarkably powerful, but they're a huge weight, a responsibility, and a burden on the soul...especially to the sensitive [read: most artists].

It flat kills many.

Fame has hurt my family. Fame is actually one of the few things I'm truly afraid of in this life.

Fame is not a nice thing for most who experience it, and yet celebrity seems to be something that so many seek...

Scary. Sad.

I am here to help LOL

It is sad , but I know of at leas 4 other women that died a drug related death within a few hours of Ms. Winehouse. They will not make the news or be discussed or be discussed out side of their families or Parole / Probation offices.
With no disrespect to Ms. Winehouse she was no better than any of them.

She was worse than them because she glamorized that lifestyle, and had a negative influence on the world. She got what she deserved, haha too bad, don't want to go to rehab, no she do nt have to anymore

What part of, "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll", do you not understand? :lol:

I doubt there's any "scientific" way to prove her influence was more negative than positive. There's not much glamor in OD'ing on your living room floor, and nobody with any sense, will aspire to end up the way she did. If anything, she's a poster child for how not to do it.

JC

Bullshit. This is all about worthless celebrity worship and the fact that we idolize actors and singers over scientists and engineers. Fuck that bullshit, and fuck people who care about these shitbags that they've never even had a conversation with. Ugh.

Not calling bullshit on the fact that music has the power to reach and touch people's lives directly. But that's not why people worship these scumsuckers.

And people have conversations with top scientists and engineers? Unless they do something really big how is it that a regular person is going to even know their names?

James

There have been many more before her that could be used as a poster child but it still happens.

James

They could do a music video.

OK, then try this one instead. The psycho, in Norway, is looking to publicize his manifesto. Would you rather support that, by talking about him or make him feel worthless, by making it painfully obvious that a dead drug addled pop star is more important than his politics?

Planned or not, it's the way that things should be.

Dude, when's the last time you hummed the Period Tables to yourself, while blasting down a twisty road? Fuck, if it wasn't for music, half of us would never have mastered the ABC's. (If it wasn't for the LMNOP part of that song, I still couldn't tell you where the fucking N is supposed to be.)

I'm not bummed because a singer died. People die all the time, fuck do I care? I'm bummed because the wrong singer died. No, I never had a conversation with her, but then again, I never had a conversation with the 90 whatever Norwegians that just got shot either.

This is not "idol worship" from me, of all people. :lol:

I'll miss her for selfish reasons. I wanted to hear more from her.

JC

Soooo, I'm off base here? Our priorities as a society are all in line and don't seem at all odd? Don't we talk about this all the time here...?

The infamous age 27

Her, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix. Janis Joplin. Kurt Cobain

and a few others... all died at 27.

Is there some reason I can't be simultaneously pissed at the government, and bummed about Amy Winehouse?

I'm a multi-tasking motherfucker, motherfucker.

JC

I'm talkin about the people, not the Government.

Which people, the Norwegians?

What is it with you and Norwegians?

JC

I'm opposed to all Ians to be honest with you. To me there's no difference between an Armenian and a Norwegian.

Oh me too. If you haven't listened to her, please do. For all those that hated her media, listen to her song. What a waste, like so many.

Why the fuck is everyone acting like she was a great musician? She always sucked and was only relevant to the tabloids because of the drugs.

Maybe it's an age thing.

I'm 28, who is she supposed to appeal to?

She hasn't been relevant for years. I just don't get it. When was her last album, 3 years ago? I was in the desert then anyways so I guess I missed the hype during that time.

There's the age thing again. Relevant means nothing to me. I remember Jelly Shoes. I didn't care.

I liked her voice. I really enjoyed the message in her songs. I just started really getting into her music. I liked her voice. It's that simple.


Most of the artists I listen to aren't 'relevant, hell they aren't even known
.. :(.

Don't like everything she does. This kills me, though.

She was indeed quite the musician.

Nope doesn't do anything for me:yawn:

They tried to make go rehab, but I said "thud".

What's the difference between Amy Winehouse and a bucket of glass, needles, and crack? The bucket.


What's the difference between Amy Winehouse and a ladder? Ladders don't die.


Why was Amy Winehouse being treated for an adverse reaction to medication? Doctor said she had overdosed on fresh air.

What is Amy Winehouse's favorite song?
I wanna rock! (crack pun)


Amy Winehouse? Moar liek Amy Crackhouse, AMIRITE!?

BREAKING NEWS! The European Heroine industry takes a tumble for the worse with the death of Amy Winehouse. Dealers leaving the industry by the thousands.


Amy Winehouse was disappointed when it was explained to her that she had won 5 Grammys and not 5 Grams


Is it me or does Amy Winehouse
look like she's pissed in more sinks
than she's washed in..

Whats the difference between Amy Winehouse and Russell Brand?
Russell Brand kind of looks like a girl.


What's the difference between Amy Winehouse and a large, flat-bottomed canal boat full of gravel?
You might touch the boat with a barge pole.

Amy Winehouse death being blamed on the weight she carried on her shoulders... her hair.

Amy tried to get into Heaven, St Peter said NO NO NO.


Amy Winehouse walks into a bar.
the bar-tender walks over and says "sorry, we don't serve spirits in here".

I can HONESTLY say that is the first time I've ever listened to any of her music....I'm not trying to be rough...but that didn't speak to me much.

Ear of the beholder and all that, I guess. :idk:

I'm with ya there. Doesn't do much for me.


Modern version of Janis Joplin ???

Well, I'm gonna go way out on a limb here, and presume this isn't exactly the one or perhaps two types of music that you like. However, if you don't like Soul and R&B, then you probably have no reason to comment regarding Winehouse in the first place.

I'd say closer to Billie.

Modern day version of who gives a fuck, she will be forgotten next week. She won't be a Janis Joplin.

People don't give a fuck about OD celebs anymore. It's played out.

Fucking hipsters

You're just so "today's meme". I, for one, am impressed.

It's a shame when anyone isn't able to get their disease under control and it kills them. It's more of a shame when that person has a talent and has contributed something to the world, be it entertainment or otherwise.

Thats not to say that others had things to contribute as well. She had managers handlers etc and a good amt of money to get her shit together whereas the crack head you step over on your way to work has none of that.

You're probably not a Jazz/Blues kinda guy.

Fuck Janis Joplin and all the chunky pseudo lesbians who worship her.

Yeah, I'm not a huge jazz fan but that was pretty awesome.. never heard it before either.

Who is this Amy Winehouse you speak of?

that didnt take long.
