you shrugg it off like whatever, she had it comin' then fuck you.
easy man, I dont think anyone is saying that. It's just given her lifestyle & inability to change it alot of people would have seen this as an inevitable ending...
I wasn't saying that to anyone here. But my statement stands.

This is saccharine condolence card nonsense.
A talent died, it is tragic. It isn't cruel or heartless to say it wasn't a surprise, it's a fact- it is the inevitable risk of some very public & repeated behavior.
A tragic loss.

Beyond the loss of a young life, I'll always wonder what her next album would've sounded like. I feel both of her albums equally, the progression in style. I just knew she was going to change it up once more, alas, we'll never know now. The greatest shame is the short body of work left behind, call me selfish but I wanted more. She hadn't reached her creative zenith at age 27.
Thanks to Gilles & Benji for introducing me to her talents.
Time to put on "Frank".

all of the 'rehab' jokes cutting a swath through the facetwits are criminal.
not because its disrespectful, but because it's just bad comedy.

This news is profoundly sad to me. I really wanted to see her win. Unlike these other girls she had a powerful and great singing voice. I hate the times we live for in for moments like this, the soundbite era, when people just go off within seconds, speaking in callous newsy miniature proclamatory quips of bogus wit and banal puns like the Rehab shit, feeding off of this shit sensationally, engrossed like jackals, anonymously, instead of saying anything with mindful feeling.

im not a fan but she solidified the retro soul steez on a pop level, that is now a style.
Ronson helped that shit, but props to her for going in like that.
I dont think she had a seeven album career, but like alot of extraordinary UK Soul,muthafuckas to cues from what was done.
Props.

My lady, for whatever reason, has recently been on a big Back To Black kick and so I've been hearing it in the car and such a lot over the last month or two. Five years after its release, and as far detached from the hype and tabloids as you're ever going to get, I have to say that it's actually a better album than I gave it credit for at the time. It's hardly jaw dropping as a whole but songs like the title track and Tears Dry On Their Own are great pieces of pop soul made even more outstanding by her voice and I suspect will have had a longevity that far outlasts those who followed in her footsteps.

rug addiction is a disease and this is a tragedy.
If you haven't had anybody close to you die of an OD and you shrugg it off like whatever, she had it comin' then fuck you.
What if I have? What if I found her dead on the floor the next morning in a puddle of piss with the crusted bloody snot all over her face and translucent fish eyes? Will I get a pass? Nobody is saying "she had it coming" that would imply that she deserve it. They are just saying that her sickeness and her innability to deal with it just played itself out to the logical end. If you've had anyone close to you die of an OD than you should certainly recognize that. My experience has been, that junkies are selfmedicating deeper problems a lot of them pretty bad. And a lot of them OD when they're doing pretty good, and I thought Amy looked pretty good recently. I've heard people say, they clean up and then when they go back to their old amount it's more than they can handle, but I don't know if I buy that. I also think its equally sad, that if we're all guilty of "not klnowing her," what does that say about hert family, her management and all her "friends."
Also, the difference between this and Kurt is that he was murdered.
