4. Wow. I didn't know she had passed away.

How did she die?

[MrScorpio]

5. No word yet

They just announced that she was found dead in her home

Of course, an overdose is suspected

9. Oh, why do I feel like crying...

this really isn't a huge surprise, with all
of her proclivities and problems.

I just always loved her voice and her
authentic struggles which came through.

Kind of like Janis Joplin.

Reality, not a performance, and I could never look away.

RIP.

11. the first Amy song i ever heard was Valerie

And it's still my favorite.

She was an uncommonly brilliant singer. I wish I'd gotten to watch her grow old.

22. The two Blues Brothers-type dancers to the right crack me up.

24. David Letterman liked them, too...

I ran across this video after watching the "Valerie" video. Amy sang "Rehab" on Late Night...

19. A brilliant flame goes out even quicker when it's burning at both ends.

RIP Amy. You'll be missed.

[Lucian]

20. I'm surprised she lasted this long.

[Forkboy]

21. It's a helpless feeling watching people like this destroy themselves.

Lindsey Lohan is another one. I hate seeing these people mocked, because I get the feeling there's no one in their circle that sees them as anything more than a dollar bill. You have to wonder if there's anyone who sees the human underneath.

[RSillsbee]

23. They wanted her to go to rehab

but shee said no no no

[stuntcat]

25. totally

I loved her sound soon as I heard her. And from then I wished someone would watch out for her, like keep her straight enough to at least grow old, while also making songs. This broke my heart some today, and my husband thought I was being sweet but silly .. like this was all that was coming to her.. But she was worth helping, keeping alive at least. She had a gift. She was a little gift.

26. RIP

My fave

30. A couple of weeks ago I played another edit of that song on my show

http://www.mixcloud.com/spaceinvaderradio/mrscorpios-house-fire-09-more-musical-arson/

I'm going to play the original version on my next show

[bigwillq]

34. I don't like that edit

The original is the best!

28. Here is her grammy award speech, I love it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwn0CF9iFm8

She had a great voice but also a cool swagger about her. RIP

[kimi]

29. She had so much talent

I am more saddened by this than I thought I'd be. I always liked her music - I thought she kind of put into music some of my deepest feelings, like any good musician does, so this has really hit me. And watching her struggles through the years has just pained me, especially because I know how much she cared about her fans.

RIP Amy. You will be missed.

[Lindsey]

32. There's been a few threads on her and my heart's been really

heavy regarding her passing. I loved her wonderful music on Back to Black which is when I first discovered her because everyone was talking about it. Sure enough, I adored her voice, her songs, and her style. I've kept up w/her all these years knowing (who could not) all about of her struggles w/substance issues. I knew that unless some kind of major shift occurred in her life that this would happen. I mean we all saw it happening before our very eyes and couldn't do anything - absolutely devastating. One fact I didn't realize is that she was 27 - wow. Another member of the 27 club. Since I'm into Astrology (although I don't know a whole lot), the planet Saturn causes people to go through major changes every 27 (sometimes 28 or 29) years (that could give some insight regarding the 27 club) RIP, Amy. I hope you have finally found peace.

36. The more I hear her music

and really, I've been listening a lot today . . . the more I realize what is gone.


The songs yet unsung, is a truly sad thing. I place no judgment on her decisions - hell, I'm in no position to do so, and I really think that no one is - but I am just sad. Sad. She had a great voice and talent, and I'm deeply sorry to see that end.

[Iggo]

31. Damn.

[Taverner]

33. I think I speak for all Amy Winehouse fans when I say we wished she would have turned things around

Sad that she didn't....
