    Better having the truth rather than the inevitable totally undeserved glorification she will receive

    "Brave Amy" and other such sh!te

    Yeah its sad, its such a huge waste and I feel bad for her friends and family.

    If you have something to say, say it, sh!t or get off the jacks

    sickening listening to the fawning eulogies being given by bbc reporters who were so quick to concentrate on her failings while she was alive

    RIP

    Apparently police aren't saying exactly what she died of yet - should we speculate?

    Why does God always take the celebrities!? Why?? Damn you God.

    How is it that she dies, but Mick Jagger and the rest of the Rolling Stones are still breathing?

    Not only did Keith Richards manage to survive years of drug and alcohol abuse but he also survived falling out of a coconut tree. You gotta be impressed by that.... :pac:

    Feel sad that someone who was 27 died, other than that..meh

    The real shame is that the news channels are covering this at the top of the news when 98 people were massacred in Norway. We live in a time where the life of one celebrity who was a junkie is apparently bigger news than that of 98 innocents.

    I find it very crass that some people will use the death of another human being to grind their moral axe. If you lack the compassion to care for others, at least don't lack the respect you should have for yourself.

    Condolences to Amy's family, friends and fans

    Such amazing talent - wasted. Her life goes to show the dark, dark, dark nature of the celebrity lifestyle.

    I can only assume that the unsympathetic posters here (on a thread for sympathies to be expressed, no less) don't ever indulge in any activities that can endanger life either in the long-term or the short-term.

    They are both tragic events in different ways and both worthy of discussion.

    No-ones forgotten Norway so there is no need for the holier-than-thou attitude.

    Going by the tone of this thread, we already are. Although in the interest of fairness, we probably shouldn't. It's a shame for her family - but frankly not a major loss musically. I was no fan of her music or her lifestyle. Terrible for the family though.

    One of my favourite artists, the best singer of her generation. Such a f*cking shame. Such an incredible talent. RIP. :(

    And by what scientific measure have you deemed this story's coverage to be 'bigger' than that of what happened in Norway? News channels tend to go on about breaking stories but most people aren't idiots, I'm sure they're capable of being aware of more than one incident at a time...

    Almost hard to believe it's the same person since we've been so used to seeing an image of her on the left.

    She was never going to live to a decent age on this path.

    The lord works in cruel ways.

    To think that Lady GaGa and Celine Dion are still walking the earth.

    Murdoch must be raging that the Amy story and the Oslo stories didn't break earlier in the week to hide the hacking scandal.

    Sad to see her die but she did surround herself with people who gladly took advantage of her.

    A real tragedy.

    The Sky News website has crashed, presumably because of it.

    I think it's more because that happened yesterday and this happened today.

    Shaun Ryder was a massive smack head and even he managed to overcome drugs, Winehouse had so many oppurtunities to get clean but didn't so it's hard to have any sympathy for her really to be brutally honest!

    It shows how clued in I can be to the news and stuff at times when I find out that she died via a Mod Note on YLYL and then googled and was like "..."


    RIP.

    Sad news. She had the best possible help available to her and it still wasn't enough. I'm sure plenty of us have friends and family who will have a similar faith through drugs and alcohol abuse. Let's hope some good comes from her death and it opens the eyes of those following in her footsteps.... RIP Amy xx
