Amy Winehouse is dead !!

[DQuaN]

I can't say I'm surprised. In fact I am surpised. Suprised that it didn't happen sooner. It's a shame because she was a real talent. She just let the drink and drugs take over her life.

I hope this acts as a lesson to others.

Just heard it announced on the news.

As for her dying, can't say I'm surprised. I said about 6 years ago that she would be dead from something very soon. She didn't help herself.

 

[lbsf1]

Hmmn good point. However I thought of it more as gossip rather than "serious" affairs.

 

[dhandeh]

Was always going to happen, her life was a total train wreck, got a great album out of her though.

 

[Rossell2]

As sad as it is to see a talent wasted in this way, no doubt she'll be used as an example in years to come of the effects of drugs and alcohol.

It was a shock to see that name pop up under "DEAD" but now I'm wondering why I'm surprised.

 

[Ross]

Not really suprising, as my mum said years ago "she'll kill herself."

 

[Crumpet]

I only heard of her two days ago.. Now she is dead..

 

[Moglet]

On a more serious note, it's a genuine shame that someone with a real talent wasted it so easily. There are plenty of people out there who are struggling to get their music out to the masses who would give a limb to get the career she could have had had she not ruined it with drugs and alcohol. I always disliked her for that and death at the age of 27 wasn't exactly unexpected IMO. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

Not much a surprise. They tried to make her go to rehab, but she said no no no

 

[PeterJB]

It's always drugs these days. Could be avoided so easily.

It's also a shame that a day after so many people have died through no fault of their own in Norway that someone has effectively wasted their own life despite all the effort to help.

Can't wait for that to be over used.

 

[Midnight Snacks]

Oh, that's... something.

Have you heard of Nick Griffin?

 

[Owen.C93]

I feel sorry for her family, friends and fans who tried to help her all these years.

Indeed, no surprise. 👍 She was already the living dead.

She should have stick with marihuana & avoid the hard, dangerous stuff.

 

[Crumpet]

Have you heard of Nick Griffin?

No, I lack general knowledge on this sort of thing.

 

[F1GTR]

Well, she's joined the 27 club now...

 

[TommyWizard]

A line up on Sky News there said "Paramedics could do nothing when they arrived at the scene, she was "Beyond Help".

Her own mother even said that about her. She was a ticking time bomb, Its a terrible thing to have happen yes, but thank god she hadn't kids or that.

 

[dhandeh]

I saw her 'perform' at the isle of wight festival a few years back. She couldnt stand up, mumbled inbetween songs, but when she started to sing, amazing.

The fault lies with those who didn't help enough, not with Amy.
With so many people aware of her problems, no one took her forcibly into care. There is either negligence, or faults in the law for not protecting people enough when a disorder is clearly diagnosed. But if it was a hard case to judge medically then perhaps the system is not at fault, but neither is Amy. She is not at fault for killing herself, it was her addictions. You don't dislike people from dying of cancer do you. This is not a simple case of she had a choice to live or die.

How you compare someone suffering with cancer to a confirmed drug addict I will never know.

What issue do you have with that and why?

Going by my facebook feed all but one or two shrugged off the events in Norway, if even paying attention at all. today, tributes that feel more like they are being mentioned because other people said it.
I realise social relevance governs importance but it startles me, I'm not saying its okay to overlook her death but the perspective seems to be backwards.

One is dying through complete fault of their own, the other through no fault of their own.

And theres the problem with the world... it's always someone else's fault.

I have said I disagree, an addiction is not the fault of the individual. If you think that then I think you need to think it over a bit more.
Also a vast proportion of cancers are self induced in your eyes anyway as all the lung cancers from smoking etc.
Are you not just hinting at your disdain for addicts? An addiction is a health condition which can be treated.
