This is unfortunate. She was truly talented. R.I.P. Amy

Amy Winehouse is not of the same caliber as the others in the'27 club' though. There will obviously be a short term spike in her sales but you won't see people 20 years from now lining up to buy Amy Winehouse albums in tHe same way as Janis Jopin or The Doors or Nirvana Who is lining up to buy their albums? The Aaliyah comparison is laughable. I don't understand comparison either but I wouldn't call it laughable. Amy had her impact as well as the others had their, no matter how small or big it may had been.

Oh please, Aaliyah didn't have a fraction of the impact Amy did, not to mention she played second fiddle to Monica/Brandy throughout her career and was little more than a vessel for Timbaland & Missy's production.

Then what is a better comparison ...because a comparison is totally necessary.

Who is lining up to buy their albums? The Aaliyah comparison is laughable. Why? One is a female R&B singer without a deep catalog and so is the other. The others in the '27 Club' are rock acts whose albums charted for years after they died. I can't seem to think of another female R&B singer whose older albums still sell. R&B in general doesn't do quite as well from a catalog perspective. And you continue to be a broken record.... There's really no need to drag this on.

Why is this an agrument seriously? Both had passed so what is the need to make one looks better than the other?I would prefer both releasing music today instead of comparing insignificant/so called impact the artists had.

Wow some of the comments in this thread are f*cking deplorable. Sometimes I really wonder how some people live with themselves on a day-to-day basis.

Wow I really hope some of you have daughters of family members who have to struggle with addiction so you can understand it. I bet you won't be telling your daughter it's her fault. Although if are that type of person I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up coked up.

It disgusts me to see people feeling sorry for her when she killed her self. I never feel bad for anyone (friends, family, celebrities, etc) who die from killing themselves, drugs, drunk driving etc. I care about the people who died from REAL reasons. She has so many people around her that cared about her, and she still did foolish things. I don't want to hear the excuses..it's hard to quit, etc. etc. I know all about it, and I know plenty of people who have died from drugs in the past. Every situation is different, yes, but still, I will never feel sorry for someone who keeps doing the wrong thing when she has money to help her, support of fans, friends, family. All these celelbrities are so upset and hurt but they were not doing anything for her when she was alive? Anyways. She was a good artist though. Not my favorite, but I respect the work she did. It was unique, fresh, interesting, etc. I mean this in all seriousness; get off the high horse before it kicks you off. Excuse me, you don't go telling people here to get off their "high horse" around here!!!! I echo swehmatt's sentiments exactly! And the fact PDC that you feel like shutting people up who don't agree with you, or have the strength to state the truth about someone's behavior is really DISGUSTING! I didn't want to see her die, and I know drug abuse is an addiction that some can't shake off. But please don't preach to people that you know it all! You don't! She had a huge circle of friends who were trying to help her and she didn't give a darn about throwing her life away. I'm very sorry she died, but she knew the risks of what she was doing. Let's not make her a hero or a role model, because she was not one. I call them as I see them and if that offends some people like you, too bad!

Russell Brand has penned a tribute to his late friend, Amy Winehouse, who died at the age of 27 on Saturday (July 23).
Here’s a bit of what Russell had to share about Amy:
“I’ve known Amy Winehouse for years. When I first met her around Camden she was just some twit in a pink satin jacket shuffling round bars with mutual friends, most of whom were in cool Indie bands or peripheral Camden figures Withnail-ing their way through life on impotent charisma.” “To me, with my limited musical knowledge this information placed Amy beyond an invisible boundary of relevance; ‘Jazz singer? She must be some kind of eccentric,’ I thought. I chatted to her anyway though, she was after all, a girl, and she was sweet and peculiar but most of all vulnerable.” “I was myself at that time barely out of rehab and was thirstily seeking less complicated women so I barely reflected on the now glaringly obvious fact that Winehouse and I shared an affliction, the disease of addiction.” “Now Amy Winehouse is dead, like many others whose unnecessary deaths have been retrospectively romanticized at 27 years old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today. We have lost a beautiful and talented woman to this disease.”
Russell’s site is currently experiencing a huge surge of traffic, so if you can’t read the entire article at RussellBrand.tv, it’s also available through Us Weekly.

And neither does anyone else here, we are simply saying her internal issues are probably a lot more complicated and deep-rooted than some of you are suggesting it is by saying "why didn't she just quit when she had all that support around her" which who knows if she did, she was likely surrounded by yes men and "she knew the risks", when whether or not the addict knows the risks of the said drugs means f*ck all when it comes to recovery. But none of you seem to know anything about the subject so you just sound really naive and ignorant instead. And secondly, so what if she wasn't a good role model? She was a human being first and foremost, a very young and talented one, who didn't owe the public anything let alone being a "role model". Get a grip.

Look, you are right in saying we don't know what she we through behind the scenes. But I do know that even those who are so addicted have enough of an awareness that they know they are destroying themselves. And I could be wrong, but I do know that if I were addicted to drugs and knew I was killing myself in the process that I would scared out of my wits end to the point where I would try to do everything I can to quit. I don't think Amy was ever at the point, though if she was I don't think she stuck any rehab program long enough in the first place. My big objection to the other poster was the liberal attitude in this country that we can't say anything offensive towards someone who either just died or is going through difficult times. I strongly disagree with this attitude and I am hoping that the premature death of another celebrity is enough to scare people away from this drug culture that has done everything to rip the fabric of this country apart. We cannot sugarcoat these types of issues anymore, and I for one will not be told by people not to state the truth of her situation even if it does offend people! She had every opportunity to at least work herself out of this and she didn't. I just hope others who worshipped her and others who have died prematurely in the past use this as a wake up call to go and get the help they need. There are people who have been scared enough to quit drugs cold turkey, and I'm sure others can too, no matter how difficult the side effects that they have to deal with.

There are people who have been scared enough to quit drugs cold turkey, and I'm sure others can too, no matter how difficult the side effects that they have to deal with. I don't think you understand addiction at all. For one thing, no one quits heroin "cold turkey". Also the fact that you would be scared out of your "wits end" of becoming addicted to drugs is what keeps YOU from doing it in the first place. It doesn't mean everyone has the same personality and attitude toward drug use. It doesn't make those people deserving of what happens to them. Addiction is a disease. Just because someone is aware that the drug is hurting themselves and others (and they typically do) doesn't mean that their failure to quit is a deliberate attempt to continue hurting themselves and the people who love them. I also think people are naive in suggesting that she had all these people around her who loved her and were trying to help her. That's this blanket statement people love to throw around in the case of every drug addict to attribute blame to them. Amy went to rehab left and her team started immediately booking gigs and letting her perform weeks before she died when she was clearly not in the state to be performing. They were obviously more interested in the money than her personal well-being.

How do you know she a huge circle of friends that were trying to help her? On the contrary, many of the people in her lexicon were talentless junkies. 2.) 2m and you other two loons aren't stating the truth about jacks**t. You're being pompous DOUCHEBAGS and trying to demonize a woman in death. 2m can throw out all the childish, condescending, and cringe-worthy "LOL"s he wants, it doesn't change anything. People are reacting this way for a reason. 3.) Nobody said she was a hero or a role model, take that argument-fabricating S**T outside. Now. 4.) Many addicts know the risk, but they're ADDICTS. Word definition, look it up. 5.) My father was/is a drug addict that cared more about his drugs (and his money) than he did his own wife and son. He was a violent and crazy piece of crap. I had to live with that for 17 years, you can't imagine. I *DO* know it all in this instance, I've lived through a family member having substance addictions and been personally affected by it. By all accounts Amy didn't do terrible things to people, so she can't even compare the situation with my father. She would have been a cakewalk in comparison.

Amy changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.

Amy Winehouse had a massive gift. I watched her performing live in a little place in London when she was just eighteen years old, and she blew everyone's socks off. I felt, and still feel deeply outraged and upset to think that anyone could have even considered that she was fit to go on stage only a short while ago, never mind go on tour, when she was clearly in such a desperate state, and so badly needed healing,
I hated that she became such tragic tabloid fodder. There's absolutely nothing "mythylogically" attractive, heroic or interesting about drug and alcohol addiction . Nothing whatsoever.
It's just terrible..full stop. Now I expect there'll be a feeding frenzy, and of course, her recordings will all soar up the charts. She was amazingly talented…and it should never have ended like this.

The number of celebrities making statements on her death is massive. She clearly made a major impact in a very short time.

Don't think Kelly's blog has been posted here yet. Kelly ClarksonI heard the news about Amy Winehouse. I'm incredibly sad. I didn't know her but I met her a few times and got to hear her sing before she blew up. She was a beautiful and talented girl. I'm angry. What a waste of a gifted person. What a shame she saw no hope and continued living her life in that manor. I have been that low emotionally and mentally and that is overwhelming. I keep asking myself why some of us are spared and the others are made examples. I'm very angry and sad. I don't know why it's bothering me so much. Sometimes I think this job will be the death of us all, or at least the emotional death of us all. Maybe that is why as a little kid in sunday school I learned that God didn't want false gods or idols. I thought it was terribly selfish of God as a child but I think I get it now. He didn't want us following people or things that are imperfect and not so much for the followers but for the gods and/or idols who will never be what everyone wishes or needs them to be because we are made imperfect. He knew we wouldn't be able to handle the pressure, the shame, the glory, or the power the spotlight brings. I am distraught. I am also extremely grateful and thankful for the people who love me and support me. Without such amazing friends and family who knows where I'd be. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for peace in your hearts.

It's nice to see someone bring religion/belief in to it and be diplomatic and positive while doing so for a change.

Not surprising, but still so incredibly sad. It's always so heartbreaking to lose someone at such a young age, but it's even more sobering when it's someone who had so much potential and offered so much.
RIP Amy.

Please stop. A person has died and it's hugely disrespectful to keep talking about them like that when the body's barely cold. I honestly don't even care that you feel that way, but this thread is for mourning the loss of a life that touched many people, not for trolling or passing judgement. Keep it to yourself.

And that's why I will never feel sorry Do you not realize how uncalled for this is? It's one thing to take a harsh line on drug addicts but to constantly come in here and proclaim how you don't feel bad about a 27 year old woman dying is just beyond.

Ugh. Some people have driven me over the edge.
She was an addict. Yes -- she drugged her way to her grave, but she went to numerous rehabilitation centers in seek of help and she went on hiatus from music-making to try and support herself, but doing those can't simply break an addiction in the very moment. I hate to bring this comparison up, but I'm gonna have to: If your best friend or someone close to you was a drug addict like Amy was and ended up dying because of it, would you be sorrowful and have sympathy, or would you have the same feelings that you're having towards Amy? It's the same instance.
Some of y'all are stubborn and horridly ruthless. When you're an addict, it doesn't mean you can just stop at any time. Like what PDC said before -- look up "addict." Webster's & Google are both your friends.

And that's why I will never feel sorry I cope with the reality that people like you exist by reminding myself that those with an attitude and mindset such as yours always get their comeuppance. I'm not religious, I'm not spiritual, and I don't even believe in the ephemeral version of karma, but it's a simple matter of fact that dishing out self righteous venom will come back to bite you in the ass at some point in your life. You can only judge and damn everyone else for so long before everyone else notices. One day you will make a mistake, you will do something you have lambasted others for doing. When that day comes I hope others will bestow you with their empathy, although that's unlikely, just to show you the error of your ways. You'll also find that others don't like living with people like you. Internally maintaining some non-existent perception of moral superiority is not worth being alone as you lay on your deathbed.

LOL! I never laughed so much in my life. Thanks for the laugh.
