Amy Winehouse Dead

[Joe Guy]

Sad, but no surprise.

[dales]

What is it about being 27?

[BoSoxGal]

An obviously tortured soul now at rest, if not peace.

[Lord Jim]

I had never heard of Miss Winehouse, but 27 is way too young for anyone to die.

[The Hen]

I had the same thought Dales. 27 seems to be a cursed age for tortured talent.

Amy, you silly bitch. If you could have left self-gratification alone, or at least given it a rest, you could have enjoyed living. Now you can't and you can't even have any drugs. So who benefits from that? No-one.

[Gob]

The rather ironic "Rehab" one of her biggest hits.

Vaya con Dios


....looked up her word 'shambolic', it's actually in the dictionary! They should put it on her tombstone.

[SisterMaryFellatio]

Wooooohoooo she was in my dead pool! Sean

[Lord Jim]

Wooooohoooo she was in my dead pool!

It's an ill wind that blows no one any good...

[Grim Reaper]

Kinda sad to see talent wasted like this but not really surprised at her death given how badly she's been screwed up over the past couple years.

[Guinevere]

What a shame. Her music was quite good, when she bothered.

BRITAIN'S disgust with tabloid journalism was suspended yesterday in honour of Amy Winehouse.


Newsagents across the country reported sad-faced customers picking up copies of tabloid newspapers and shaking their heads mournfully as they handed over the money.

The temporarily un-disgusted readers then sat around kitchens and gastro-pub brunch tables reluctantly swapping every last detail of the death of the tragic singer and saying things like '27 eh? Just like Judy Garland and Elvis'.

Tom Logan, from Finsbury Park, said: "I will of course go back to being disgusted with the nauseating culture of intrusive journalism next week, but I just felt I had to do this for Amy.

"She was a troubled soul who was in a constant battle with her demons, according to this remarkably detailed article in the Mail on Sunday by someone who obviously really cared about her."

Helen Archer, from Peterborough, said: "I know that Amy would have wanted me to join the Sunday Mirror in speculating wildly.

"In her memory I will believe - and regurgitate - this heartfelt speculation and then I might play Back to Black in the car this afternoon on the way to the gym."

Emma Bradford, from Hatfield, added: "I know that it now seems likely that she drank herself to death, but the Mail on Sunday lifted a story from the Sunday Mirror that said she took a cocktail of drugs, so I'm going to stick with that.

"If only the News of the World was still here, I would have been able to have opinions about the tragic content of her final voicemails."

She was cremated yesterday.

I hope the mourners were advised not to inhale to deeply...

[Gob]

It doesn't take long for the jokes to start, (not for the easily offended.)

Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones and Jim Morrison were all pop stars who died aged 27.

Amy Winehouse was born on 14th September 1983.

So be patient.

Spooky...

Million-dollar voice with a ten-cent head. Talent, but nothing more.

Bix Beiderbecke died at 28 of alcoholism. Unlike Winehouse he was a fully-realised genius of early jazz, not merely talented.

Fats Waller made it to 38 and died of the same. (pneumonia was a frequent killer of alcoholics)

I can't say that I was familiar with her entire book of work, but she struck me as very marginally talented and utterly, utterly contrived and phony. Just look at her. Yet another example of the music culture that selectively exalts the occasional nitwit/phony, and scorns actual musical talent.

She was unworthy to launder Josh Groban's undershorts.

The phenomenon of the early demise of such as her is not surprising. Give an idiot an infinite amount of money and surround him/her with people who seek to profit by indulging them - the results are predictable.

[loCAtek]

Well, Groban's talent was poised and polished, but that was Winehouse's appeal; her gritty, natural tones that were felt, if not so much, performed .

Groban has a clean distance from his works, while Amy ached with every lyric.

Not to dis Josh, I love his music, but Amy lived hers...
