Sigh...
Not really a surprise, and it was always easy to make fun of her, but this is sad. When she had it together, she was a hell of a singer. Remember, kids: drugs are not the answer.

I'm sorry, but I don't consider this a tragedy. She was just another celebrity more famous for her drug addictions than for any talent. A close friend was killed in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb while doing his job as a soldier, and I didn't see one mention of the attack on the news. Angry

I'm with davysims on this one. Good men and women are dying every day fighting for the rights of other people and some alcoholic drug addict gets more air time Roll Eyes

Amy Winohouse is getting more air time here in Britain at the moment than the terrible massacre in Norway... that shows how totally pathetic the media are Angry

. funny how she said 10 year ago "She will be dead in a ditch and on fire>l. You all have to restrict your tongue. For not only what you wish for, But what you say. It might not just be a word but a Prophesy. Lips Sealed

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.

This is so true. And it has sparked a mini-campaign.

Her songs were often catchy, but I never thought she was particularly talented... She made a bad name for herself and died because of it.

She joins the 27 club; not by talent, merely by age.

Amy Winehouse? I didn't even like her music at all

but to me she wasn't a criminal either ,I'm not happy for this ,its a tragic lost when someone at barely 27 dies.

I can't make jokes or laugh about any deaths,and less if a young person who only crime its cause damage to him(her)self by the way I bet she was a daughter , mother sister,that she has a family ,but that would be me

exept the guy in Norway who MEDIA is looking about "His Reasons"after killing more than a hundred innocents people ,
I would laugh when justice hangs him (For example)

this remind me Courtney Love ,Lindsay Loham also are victims of themselves are also in the same list like Amy Winehouse was,I hope they survive .... Gosh! so many talented people has died cause of this How do they still get Pills and drugs?

I seriously Don't know what to say. I was never Amy's fan I would hum/whistle her songs but i was/am never really a fan do hers. But Still I'm 13 and I would hate to die and people make fun of me but on the other hand, millions of people die every day fighting, in pain and Sickness e.t.c And I don't see them all over the news. Amy had a chance to stop. She did not and she paid the price. Everything you do is dangerous But doing drugs excessively Is practically Begging for death. But I'm sure this is not the last super star to die a horrible death from drugs. Undecided

But we also have to think about family and friends who have lost her and that is even worse. But this shows that even the biggest of stars are only human. Make the most out of your lives.

Amy Winehouse inquest records verdict of misadventure

Quote:

The singer Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning after a drinking binge following a period of abstinence, an inquest has heard.

The 27-year-old Grammy award-winner was more than five times over the legal drink-drive limit when she was found dead at her home in Camden, north London, on 23 July.

She had 416mg of alcohol per decilitre in her blood, enough to make her comatose and depress her respiratory system. Police recovered three vodka bottles – two large and one small – from her room.

Recording a verdict of misadventure, the St Pancras coroner, Suzanne Greenway, said: "The unintended consequences of such potentially fatal levels was her sudden death." ...

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.

Sometimes it amazes me just how much alcohol and drug abuse the human body can take, over a long period of time, before it finally gives up the fight!

I used to be surprised and disappointed by her use of bad language when she first started out; but ignoring that, she developed into an excellent singer after a while.
