Amy Winehouse

What a pathetic guy you are, seriously 20 years old!? Try paying respect to her rather than an addiction you can't talk about as you have no clue what they have to go through.

 

This! At least some people on this website have morals

 

Yeah she had no control over what she was putting in her body did she, and what does it matter what my age is exaclty?

 

Again I'll refer people to this video, how anyone can watch that and not feel sad is beyond me. And, for the record, anyone who uses the word "druggy" is a ****ing muppet.

 

You're actively spreading hate with this message. Think about that, you've made a decision to make a cruel and nasty comment, what kind of person does that?

I'm sure you're a good guy - but there is nothing i can reply with that won't be met with the same kind vitriol.

 

So what if she chose to put drugs into her body, she's died! Why does this country have to look at everything negatively, don't look at her drugs past look at what a talented troubled singer we've lost. Oh your age matters because you seem to have the mental age of a child, i hope you don't lose a family member to something that could have been stopped which was their fault, Car Accident, Drink Related or Suicide then you'll see what her poor family are going through then you can have people make stupid comments like yours to yourself and your family

 

The thing is I don't even think the people on here are/were big fans of her (I wasn't particularly), but the fact another person has died (under circumstances I'm pretty sure haven't been released yet) is enough to provoke a response other than (basically) 'she deserved it'

 

There really are some sad people on this forum.

 

Is what you're saying that before she died if someone told us she had died then we would have said that she had it coming but now she actually has then we're all acting more respectfully

 

Exactly.

 

No just the fact that even though I/we don't follow her as a singer, I/we still care that another person has died regardless of fame

 

It's never a nice thing when someone dies, but i never respected her.

R.I.P though

 

I am a 37 year old father of three who has dealt with a lot more pain and suffering and sorrow than Ms W has (2x stillbirths want to get into that before you judge me??) thats what kind of person I am.

IMO Frankie Boyle actively spreads hate with his jokes about things like this and also jordans son (first thing that cmes to mind)

Yes she had problems but she also had many more privileges than 99% of us on this forum will ever have.

Fell free to reply.............I promise I will not reply with vitriol!

 

Sorry for your loss too. Surely as a father if you're kid became famous, but ended up ruining her/himself you'd feel/know there was more to it. You can't simply look at someone and understand. We don't know why AW got involved with drugs in the first place. She might have been forced, she might have been insecure, she might not have as much will power when it came to peer pressure. I don't think someone deserves to die because they have less will power. I'm sure you don't either. She had privileges but she also had the bad aspects of fame too.

 

Why does that even matter?! She's died, it doesn't matter if a multi millionaire drug addict has died or an African child from starvation. Somebody has still died that has a family so people should have more respect, she chose to do drugs, has that effected anyone else? Drugs or no drugs it's still an awful thing to happen and most normal people would be respectable to the situation her family are going through.

 

Are you a parent? Yes if I was her family I would be sad but I would also be pissed that she did not (or I could not convince her) to take my advice. As for the child in africa FFS the poor buggers have not even had a chance to experience life. Watch the news and see a video of AW and then the footage of -1 year olds trying to be fed and tell me who you feel more empathy with (i know who it is for me)

Sorry just my opinion that when the people in Norway went to the rally (feeling as if nothing was a threat to them) as opposed to AW who consistently pushed the boundaries of what her body could handle (note that is if her death proves to be drug related and not just tripping up and hitting her head related)

Has her drug taking affected anyone else??? I would say yes. As someone who stood in front of Kurt Kobain in 92 at the riverside and infront of Dave Mustaine at the Town Hall (ps Phil Anselmo blew him into the weeds) I thought drugs were cool because 'the stars' did them. She was a public figure who got paid line with that...with that comes an amount of resp as JB, Stevie G and WR haved found.

 

As said by Sir Bobby, my sympathies for your loss, but in a debate, if you make it personal then it's very difficult for the other person to debate back and it becomes an argument.

 

Did i make it personal before others did? As for my loss thank you but really it means nothing to me...my loss is my loss and I will deal with it.

The same thoughts will be going through the parents of AW so no matter what is said online or in any public or non public domain they will have their thoughts of their daughter and nothing that is said will change those feelings.

She had a more priviliged lifestyle than the children dying in Somalia.........that much cannot be argued surely........and she succumed to it.

The children in africa are succumbing to not being able to eat!!!
