Quote from Hazeri;524494:
And nothing of value was lost.
I'm baffled by the people's reaction over this, there's a f*cking NASTY war going over drugs and yet people are crying because a crack addict OD'd?
Want tragic? 90+ innocents died just yesterday in norway because some trigger happy extremist decided to go loco over there, now that's tragedy. A druggie OD'd? good ****ing riddance, more should follow suit.
Death is death. This isn't a contest, the lost of any life should be treated as tragic. But to me, the most tragic thing of all is what you just said.

Drugs are bad. She should've gone to rehab after all.

It makes me even more sad that people can be so cold and not care that a life that was precious to even just one person was lost, no matter the cause.
Just because someone's a drug addict, or any kind of addict for that matter, doesn't mean that the person is just a piece of garbage that doesn't matter.
I personally didn't listen to her music, and I really knew nothing aout her, but I am sad that her life has been lost.
I was also sad when Elizabeth Tayler died, though I have seen maybe half a movie she was in and her perfume commercials, when Michael Jackson died, though his plastic surgeries and kid issues were crazy, and when Phil Harris from Deadliest Catch died, though I think he swore too much and I didn't much care for him.
People are still people, even if they make bad decisions.

Things happen, death happens, you can't mourn about every single person, as far as Amy goes, I was not even aware of her existence or music up until I read this article, and I would prefer if people would stop complaining about how cold some other people are, it won't do much.
Also I find this particular piece of the article to be screwed up, who the hell would even think of that?
In addition, there was a website set up called When Will Amy Winehouse Die?, with visitors asked to guess the date of death with the chance of winning an iPod Touch.

Comes after Winehouse was booed off stage after shambolic Serbian show
Can I make a non-serious joke about it always being the Serbs?

[font="Tahoma"]A great R&B Soul sensation in the music industry. RIP Amy Winehouse.
Addressing the controversy - it may be true that she was a druggie, but that does NOT mean that she deserved her death or that she should be given few sympathies. I only listened to some of her music before and I wouldn't consider myself a fan, but she moved her fans and admirers. Despite having a drug addiction and being under a constant state of depression, she put up a strong fight. She drilled all her dark emotions into her soulful music.
Alas, she had a strong, even inspirational influence on the people who tuned themselves in to her music. How much one means to a certain individual will define how that individual is moved if he/she passes away. Amy Winehouse died, and I am sympathetic for her. When my grandmother died, I was much more sympathetic. You see, influence plays a big role when it comes to loss and grieving.
The media is constantly spreading the news of her death which is why many more people know and are expressing their sympathies, concerns, or lack thereof via the Internet. It is sad that more catastrophic events are not deemed as "important" to the media as others. At the time of the earthquake in Japan, there was also one in Thailand with a sizeable magnitude, but the news hardly reached anyone's ears. There are people who really loved Amy Winehouse's music and were moved by her, and that is why they will always be more saddened by her death than the death of fifty people they don't know. Hazeri, I understand your perspective on the issue, but you must also look in retrospect.
I am disappointed at all the people who think that she deserved to die or consistently crack jokes about the matter of her death. However, we are all entitled to expressing our opinions and for that, I will respect each and every one.[/font]

If only she had been stronger and gotten the help she needed. I guess I'll never hear a new song by her again... Shame. Rest In Peace.
Well said Applefish. You have my respect.
