i mean just 27. its really sad when such talented young people loose a grip on their life. i mean take Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain etc. all legends...gone in the prime of their life. sad really.
They all died aged 27. She's now part of the 'Stupid Club', as it's become known.
To be honest I was never really much of a fan anyway, but I didn't really feel much emotion considering over 80 innocent people had been shot dead in Norway just a few days before.
I don't understand this apathy. Is her life worth less than those people's?
You could say she chose her death but you don't know what lead her to drugs and once you get to that point it's really hard to quit or stay off them once you do.
She did go to rehab and they okayed her to be an outpatient. Obviously that didn't work.
IMO she does belong to the 27 club. People take her talent lightly because she was of this generation. It's just like when people think that the old days were better (ie artists made better music back then but today it's all trash).

I'm not saying I think her life is worth less than someone else's, and of course we still don't really know what caused her death. I felt saddened that a life had been lost, but I think it shows just how much celebrity culture has taken over our lives.
Yesterday, I signed into Facebook to find over a dozen "OMG AMY WINEHOUSE " posts within two minutes. Over the past few days, I've only seen one regarding the incident in Norway.
It just makes me a little sad to think that people are prepared to mourn over a celebrity who potentially ruined her own life, but not dozens of innocent and yet perfectly un-famous civilians.

To be honest when I heard the news there was no emotion from me.
Ok she was talented yes, but she ruined her own life by acting the way she did and of course being an alcoholic and drug user at same time.
So when the news came, I kinda shrugged my shoulders and walked on. It was only a matter of time it would happen anyway.
Sort of the same reaction I had as soon as I heard the news.
Seeing as she lived a very troubled life, I wasn't very surprised that the end was nearly there for her. Having said, she had lovely music and I'm sure it'll live on forever.
