Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London, it has been reported.

[CleanGreenFuture]

1. Tragic, but I'm not the least bit surprise. May she find peace in her eternal sleep.

[BoWanZi]

7. I was wondering when it was going to happen, also did many betting pools finally pay off now?

It was almost inevitable that she would pass away sooner than later.

[FourScore]

19. "betting pools"??? Really?? n/t

[originalpckelly]

24. Oh yeah, there are some really sick fucks out there who bet this shit.

They have lists of celebrities and they guess when they're going to die.

I honestly think it's one of the worst things I've ever heard of.

[BoWanZi]

27. Exactly.

[Odin2005]

39. That is SICK!

:puke:

[BootinUp]

83. hmmm... do they call it the Dead Pool?

The Dead Pool (1988)

[Nailzberg]

47. Wouldn't have been a good payout, odds wouldve been even.

[caseymoz]

69. Of course, it's inevitable that everyone passes away sooner or later.

Talk about a sure bet.

I know what you're saying, though. Did you ever hear good news about her "recovery?" Ever? You knew her days were numbered.

But you could have figured out a better way to say what you did. A betting pool on a death-watch is tasteless.

[leeroysphitz]

78. And so began the great Winehouse flame wars of 2011... n/t

[Cid_B]

34. I dunno about tragic....

Winehouse has completed her full path of the loser. All the chances in the world along with some talent and the money and support that go with it and she still blew it.

Of all the people to feel bad for she ranks low... I'll find some disabled veterans or overburdened teachers to lend support to. Drug addicted scumbags get none...

[xocet]

44. It is tragic that you have zero compassion. n/t

[Skittles]

50. you do not understand the nature of addiction

[Cid_B]

54. Sorry... no one put a gun to her head while they injected that crap into her veins...

Her choice... her demise...

[Skittles]

55. like I said, you do not understand

[Drahthaardogs]

74. Ah come on.

You cannot compare a celebrity with access to the best hospitals, physicians, medications, and counseling to your average drug addict or alcoholic. I feel sorry for the young girl because a life was squandered, but let's not pretend she was some junkie on skid row turning tricks for a hit on a crack pipe. She had a disease, but she also had the resources to do a lot about it. That is more than most addicts can say.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

56. Nobody held a gun to your head and made you post assholish comments on the internets.

But I still feel sorry for you.

[Cid_B]

59. Keep your pity..

.. and donate some time or money to someone who is worth a crap and can actually deal with challenges in their lives like the aforementioned veterans or teachers.

[handmade34]

71. and what do you say about

drug addicted veterans?? I believe your comments to be ignorant of addiction generally...

[xocet]

76. Its comments make it a paragon of self-righteous virtue. n/t

[caseymoz]

70. Actually, it makes her like Janis Joplin.

Who, in hindsight, was hardly a failure. A drug problem is a mental illness. A frustrating, highly destructive one. People have trouble wrapping their minds around that. It's especially fatal when it's combined with another mental illness.

If completing her full path as loser means that she died, everybody dies, so are we all losers? She reached the top of the musical world. How much money has your work generated? How many awards have you won for doing something better than anyone in Western Civilization? How long will people be paying attention to your work after you're gone? By your very standards, I bet you would have to consider yourself a bigger loser than Amy Winehouse if you died now.

[Arugula Latte]

2. Wow, so sad.

Too young, too young.

Addiction sucks.

[CleanGreenFuture]

5. I was so hoping she'd find her way through it. She was so talented when sober.

[Arugula Latte]

36. She was indeed. Fantastic voice.

[thereismore]

3. Well, she did live fast. nt

[socialist_n_TN]

Great talent and troubled child........

Artists feel they have to suffer for the art and sometimes the suffering ends too quickly. RIP.

[mopinko]

9. i think you have that backwards.

art often comes from great suffering, but artists are not that insane.

[socialist_n_TN]

20. Oh yeah, sometimes they are

nm

[mopinko]

32. well, you made a sweeping statement

none of my acquaintances have ever done any such thing.

[Lorien]

26. +1 nt.

[thereismore]

4. The 27 club. nt

[dipsydoodle]

21. Yup - same as Cobain and Hendrix & Co

.

[Electric Monk]

58. & Janice Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones...

many more than I even realized here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club

[stlsaxman]

60. i keep seeing that- 27 club... haven't figured it out yet. a clue for an old fogie?

:shrug:

[PSzymeczek]

65. A number of very talented musicians

have died at age 27. Ms. Winehouse is the latest.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_27

[stlsaxman]

66. D'OH!!! Shoulda googled it- thanks!

that 27 Club is huge!

[Pab Sungenis]

6. Sad, but

we'd all seen it coming.

[petronius]

48. This just possibly might maybe could be the wrong thread for your sig image

:rofl:

[cbdo2007]

8. Such a talent. Such a waste. RIP

[originalpckelly]

10. "The Back To Black singer was apparently found at 4pm and her death is believed to be unexplained."

Really?

And the fact that she done every drug other than horse tranquilizer suppositories had nothing to do with it?

[Pab Sungenis]

51. Unexplained because

they don't know which drug did it yet. Or if it was just that the damage she had done with all the drugs finally caught up with her.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

57. The cops can't log on to TMZ to get a cause of death. They have to do toxicology and stuff.

[nc4bo]

11. Awww. May she RIP and finally find peace. nt

[dipsydoodle]

12. Her Wiki entry has already been upated

to say she'd died today.

How sad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJAfLE39ZZ8&ob=av2n

Brilliant voice.:cry:

[AllyCat]

13. Peace to you Ms. Winehouse. May you find refuge now from your demons.

[leveymg]

14. She put the ripped in RIP. A great talent and I loved her.

Amy will be greatly missed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I was hoping it wouldn't end that way.

[Poll_Blind]

18. She didn't learn anything from Mr. Hathaway.

:(

What a waste.

PB

[CleanGreenFuture]

22. Unfortunately, no. She didn't.

[Ezlivin]

23. Hey, we still got Adele!

Amy had her shot and her personal problems consumed her.

I think Adele has a much better chance at long-lasting success, don't you?

[bigwillq]

73. I would rather have Amy

:(

[immoderate]

25. She's with Janis now.

--imm

[Glimmer of Hope]

28. I thought she was doing better for ahwile. This breaks my heart.

[Dj13Francis]

29. Huh.

Nobody could have seen this coming...

[lonestarnot]

30. Woopsie.

Poor thing.

[Swede]

31. RIP Amy.

Another lost soul taken by addictions.

[d_b]

33. should've went to rehab

[fishwax]

35. RIP

[cbdo2007]

37. last public appearance on Youtube.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qQAnNARrWs

From July 20, 2011. She looks out of it.

RIP

[Odin2005]

38. "They said I had to go to Rehab, but I said NO, NO, NO!!!"

:cry:

[stlsaxman]

62. Thinking of all the poor souls who didn't seek help because of that song...

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[taterguy]

82. If you make life choices based on Winehouse songs, you've got bigger problems

It's a catchy song.

Maybe it inspired some folks to seek help because they realized someone they admired was struggling.

You never know.

[bluestate10]

40. Such an immensely talented person. What a waste. I hope that she has finally found peace. nt

[Quantess]

41. They had a recent photo of her "looking healthier"

Which most likely means she cut back or quit heroin for a while, had a relapse, but her tolerance was way lower, resulting in an OD.
Just my speculation.

[TorchTheWitch]

80. Not the case going by that trainwreck concert a month ago...

And frankly, the whole European tour since at least back in January. Ghastly drugged out trainwrecks in every city. She was a barking mess.

[Kolesar]

42. I loved her singing

She had a few great songs in the "hit rotation".

[Horse with no Name]

43. She was a tortured soul.

May she finally rest in peace.

I wasn't a fan, but she did have talent--even though it wasn't my style.

[Renew Deal]

45. Tragic

:cry:

[joeybee12]

46. Very sad...let's hope she found peace now...troubled young lady

RIP

[Skittles]

49. sad

I remember seeing a picture of Ms. Winehouse taking a picture with a fan, a very young girl, maybe 10 - Amy had a huge smile and it occurred to me it was the first time I had ever seen her look truly happy

[LaurenG]

52. Aww, this is terrible. I thought she was very talented, it's such a shame

she was also very addicted.

[Ohio Joe]

53. RIP - nt

[Raine]

61. Waste of a life, thrown away like that. nt

:-(

edit: typo

[bluedigger]

63. RIP, Amy!

And thanks for giving us what you could!O8)

[justiceischeap]

64. When I saw her last public performance, I told my friends

it wouldn't be long until she died. When her management company fired her, she really had nothing left to strive for.

[deacon]

67. What a damn shame. Extremely sad. :((((((((

[caseymoz]

68. I can believe she was Janis Joplin reincarnated.

She made marvelous music that people will enjoy as long as there are people.

This is hardly unexpected. Unfortunately, there seemed no way to rescue her from her fate. Generally, people go up and down trying to recover from substance abuse. But with Amy, when did you ever hear good news about her recovery? If you said "never" then you knew she was going to die young.

Who is surprised? Really?

Maybe she broke even on dharma/kharma again? Could she come back as another troubled, drug addled, musical soul that breaks into song and then dies in five years? I might be inclined to look for her again before the end of my life and say, "There's Janis-Amy again."

It's the most hopeful thought and wish I have about her. And the most fictitious.

[HipChick]

72. I had to the good fortune to meet Amy

During the 6 months she lived in St.Lucia...she was always pleasant and never got short with people asking for autographs

I did notice she had something of a very short attention span..

It will be interesting to see the results of the autopsy..many sites are reporting that her friends were saying she was having suffering from seizures...but had quit the drinking and hard drugs...it might have been a possible suicide..she had just been dumped by her BF and management company...

[handmade34]

77. oh, good fortume indeed...

I loved her music the moment I first heard it and am saddened by her death

[blogslut]

75. Poor kid

I had hopes she would pull herself through the fire.

[AnnieBW]

79. In the tradition of the finest rock stars

She's now joined the mega-band "The 27s", joining previous members Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain.

:(

[Crabby Appleton]

81. RIP nt

[Lucian]

84. I honestly thought she would've been gone sooner.
