Amy Winehouse died.

So she finally bit it eh?

it is unfortunate that she must meet her creator so soon but she brought about her own end.
 
Google her then. Or Youtube rather.
She had a good voice.
And I find her lyrics both amusing and sad.

Her consumption of drugs. She might have been a good person but she was very reckless in her dealings in life.
 
"Amy Winehouse is the elegant 22-year-old pot-smoking Camden jazzsinger with the sharp tongue ... Her other big love is marijuana - and lots of it. 'I have smoked an ounce a week at times', she admits. 'When I smoke, I am just the happy me. I sing or whistle for three hours or go up and play guitar for four hours. I like a drink. I love all different kinds of alcohol and, everywhere I go, I'll find a drink I like. But I am more of a smoker. All my inhibitions go, so it's great to write when I'm stoned'", The Mirror (UK), Nov. 5, '04
• "until recently, Amy smoked two ounces of marijuana a week", Daily Star (UK), Oct. 19, '06

Meh, that doesn't make people vapid, her stupid world-view made her vapid.

Ah, at first I understood that you were criticizing her as a musician and call her a vapid musician.

On the drug abuses - sure that's dumb. But other wonderful artists have abused 'em before and will abuse 'em in the future and it's their business.

As an artist myself I find the lack of control annoying - while intoxicated it doesn't really add too much into the work-flow other than a hangover and a ruined canvas/whatnot for the next day. Although I guess some very primitive inspiration could be got from smoking/ingesting shit
 
Depends on the person really. Drugs can open up the imagination, or cause you to stare at a wall for 4 hours.

I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner, she was in and out of rehab so often and led a pretty crappy personal life despite success at singing.
Hanging around with Pete Doherty probably wasn't the best idea.

I'd hit it. No, seriously. I had a weird fetish for her in '08.
 
DB, she was in rehab a few times. For most people rehab is a waste of time. She would have best served in a) forced labour camp or b) in the grave. I guess b is more tenable anyways.

That was taken in 2008, and it was aaaall downhill from here. 2008 was a long time ago.

She had a wonderful voice before she Whitney Houston'd it, but I could never bring myself to call myself a fan. The majority of the time her lyrics, and her life, were just completely inimical to anything that I would consider admirable or, y'know, smart. Hers was a wasted talent in every sense of the phrase.
 
Is anybody surprised? Did anyone see that video of her on stage in i want to say serbia or some other former soviet republic state? It was like David Hasselhoff on the floor with the cheeseburger.
