Amy Winehouse dead at 27

RIP Amy.
I hope you can find the peace you couldn't find on earth...

Crap. I was really hoping this kid would pull it together.

27 yo again

Sure don't make rocknrolla's ( no offence to rock and roll ) like they use to. Look at Osbourne and Richards, years of lickin' and still tickin'

Anyways 27 is waaay to young for anyone to leave this earth. Hopefully she is in a better place now. Condolences to the father and family.

RIP Winehouse.

Jim Morrison Dec 8, 1943- July 3, 1971,
Janis Joplin Jan 19, 1943 -Oct 4, 1970,
Jimmy Hendrix Nov 27, 1942- Sept 18, 1971

Methinks she is in good company...

I bet Jim and Jimmy arn't too about it.

So much talent... but what a train wreck.

Too bad, I would have loved to see more music come out of Amy.

Too bad. She was a really talented singer. A shame she wasn't more talented at battling her addictions..

Never knowingly heard her work, but sad to hear. Talent and Fame has a way that all too often destroys those that achieve it. Perhaps it's not that simple and she was heading down that path regardless, but either way it's sad.

RIP

Talent?

She was a junkie hack.

Unfortunately, now we have weeks to hear about how much of a musical genius she was and that she had so much "talent".

Barf.

She sounds a lot like Lauryn Hill. She may have been a druggie, but there were/are a lot of addicts who are seen as talents, and awesome musicians. Herman Brood comes to mind...

...and a lot in the past who have left us.

Besides, I don't know of any musical artist who was/is universally loved by everybody. I don't like Bruce Springstein or U2. I'll never say they have no talent though, too many people love them for me to say that.

Herman Brood jumped off the Amsterdam Hilton hotel 10 years ago, depressed because he was not able to kick his addiction(s). He lived "Sex, drugs & Rock 'n Roll". And no, I was not a fan. Not of his music, nor of his art. Lots were tho...
