NEWS: Amy Winehouse 1983 -2011

Hey, we're not the ones judging anyone's worth- we're just wondering why one person's death matters more than multiple deaths. The exchange rate seems to be off.

Okay, maybe we are judging the worth of others a bit. Is it so wrong to think of a celebrity as being on equal footing with someone else who died the same day?

Perspective- it's a funny thing.

Damn.

The Grim Reaper is always lurking.

FUCK YOU DEATH.

Honestly, I couldnt care less. There's hundreds of children dying in Somalia EVERY DAY. Oh, and I believe it was her choice to be consumed by drugs and alcohol, those kids don't have a choice....

To be honest, her death has very little importance for me, however, I do feel for her family and loved ones, as I would for anyone that has lost someone. That being said, all day yesterday, it seems that other events were overshadowed by her passing. I'm just making a statement about how quickly our focus shifts. Take from that whatever you like.

That was Brittany... She probably meant Britney Spears.

Eulogy from Jenny Eliscu of Rolling Stone

She is now on Stage in Heaven with Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain in the Club27...they all died at 27

Rest in Peace Amy.

Very sad.. you cant help those that dont want it though. I lost two of my bestfriends to drugs.. it sucks to see the good ones swallowed up like a pill.

The Topic Was Based On Amy !!!! .... I Agree With Dot .... Amy Was Loved By Many And Her Death May Not Be Important To Some People, But Please Keep Respect On Others Feelings And Greiving !!!! Those Other Countries And Deaths Are Duelly Noted And Should Be Dicussed In Another Thread .... R.I.P. Amy !!!!

This is one of those sad situations you could see coming from miles away, but could only watch as it unfolded. I loved her voice and thought she was very talented.. I also think fame may have accelerated the problems she already had in place. It's a shame it had to be this way.

"The thing about destiny.. is it never ever makes mistakes" - The Distillers

proving once again that sometimes, the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long

magical voice...feeling the emptiness of songs never sung

"My candle's burning at both ends,
It may not last the night.
But ahh my foes, and oh my friends,
It cast a lovely light."

(Oscar Wilde)

Guess twentyseven is the magic number.....

Saddens me to hear she was three weeks sober. Doesn't it suck when you die trying to change.

I was saddened by the news but saw it coming because the poor girl was already more dead than alive.
A shame because he had talent and a beautiful voice in my opinion.

God, I'm sick of stuff like this. It doesn't make you cooler or more enlightened or more socially responsible or anything to, in response to people making note of a celebrity death, get your nose in the air and pontificate on the fact that [i[other people die, too, you know, gosh. Gosh, indeed. We know that. The two have nothing whatsoever to do with one another. If you actually care so much about kids in Somalia and would rather people comment on that and not on Amy Winehouse, start a damned thread on kids in Somalia or something.
