I did not follow her career but I love her music and want more.

LONDON — Amy Winehouse, the Grammy-award winning singer who has battled addiction problems for years, was found dead on Saturday at her apartment in London, the police said. She was 27.

While I am saddened by her passing, I can find no way to put her in the ranks of Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin, Johnson, or Cobain. While these 5 also had their demons, they provided us with countless hours of unbelievable music and were incredible to witness live. Amy on the other hand was a trainwreck waiting to happen. If you bought a ticket to one of her shows you were likely to either have a no-show artist or an individual who could barely stand up, much less give a show anyone would enjoy seeing. Buy her one critically acclaimed grammy winning album and enjoy the music.

i judge her by that moment you first hear the voice, so effortless, and that "what is this" moment I find lacking in so many artists. she had "it" in spades.

Actually his death rumors were when he was 27 if I'm not mistaken. On Abbey Road the license plate of a car says 28 if. He would have been 28 if he hadn't died. At least that's what I think. Ha! I can't even get the facts behind the hoax correct!

somewhere in the back of my mind, I remember that "28if" license plate too, and he was the only one without shoes. Personally, I think Michael Jackson killed him...:cool:

She shouldn't have said no, no, no to rehab. (Someone had to say it.)

Hello there...thanks for coming back! I miss your wit! :floor:

I read somewhere that "sources" are saying she had stopped the heavy drug use, but continued to drink despite her doctors pleas that seizures would kill her.

RIP, Miss Winehouse.

There have been sources that said she bought ecstasy, cocaine, and ketamine the night before. Other reports say that no evidence of drugs was found in her house.

No idea which is accurate...
