Amy Winehouse
 

Anyone see Amy on TV last night?


There were a lot of nasty posts on here when booze finally killed her. But I think she had a stunning talent and it's tragic she is gone. Perfect timing and a cold hard voice just suited for the blues/jazz she excelled in.


Anyone agree?


David

Yep.

A true talent and a tragic way to go ......

She was fabulous

Oh, certainly! She had an amazing talent despite her boozing etc., no doubt. And yes, it's tragic that she has gone so young.

Sadly not the first and will not be the last but sadly sometimes being talented brings the pressures of the agent,media etc,etc. and so destroys the performer.God bless her and all the others and do not judge them harshly unless you have walked in their shoes.PS sometimes getting there is better than being there.

Drove to Paris with my now Wife listening to Back To Black, shame she self destructed. A very troubled young lady, what a shame she could not turn the corner. RIP

Indeed.
Such a shame to go this way.

Talented lady sadly missed. always have a cd or two of hers in the car.

Her death was tragic as is all deaths like these, but her music was crap in my opinion. I can't believe they made a movie about her.

Well I can't agree with you but, of course, you are entitled to your opinion.


But I really appreciate other comments posted.

PS. I lost my wife of 40 years earlier this week so Amy's music was a deeply cathartic time for me.

So sorry to hear that, David. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Her music was and still is brilliant in my opinion:thumb:
DL, so sorry to hear your news, my thoughts are with you.

Very sorry to hear that, David. My thoughts are with you and your family.

David, I'm sorry to hear of you loss. The loss of someone as close as your wife is a huge loss to bear and if Amy Winehouse's music is something that can connect with and provide a release, then no one can argue with that. My condolences to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss David.

Cannot believe Bon Scott survived so long on 2 plus bottles of whisky a day (just reading AC/DC biography)


Amy amazing though

OMG David.Just read that.So,so sorry

I wasn't a fan of Any Winehouse, her music isn't something I'd buy. However, she did have an incredible voice and a LOT of talent.

PS Sorry to hear about your loss David, my prayers are with you and your family.

David

Thoughts are with you and your children. So very sorry.

Simon

Sorry to hear your sad loss. Condolences to all of you

Yes, sorry for your loss!

Sorry to hear this bad news, David :(

Re: Winehouse, she was one on her own in this day an age. Certainly retro. One thing that did annoy me with her, or the industry moreso was relating her to a song originally made by the Zutons, even if she did sing it better,it was never her song and she wrote far better stuff off her own bat.

Alcoholism takes no prisoners; two in my family dead from it.

Yeah, but she sang that song so effectively that I can see why that song became so relational to her. I love it in Amy's voice!

Sorry for your loss David ........

Thank you all so much for your kind comments. Much appreciated.


I won't post again on this thread but leave you with this which is rather nice;






Miss Me But Let Me Go


When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, why cry for a soul set free?


Miss me a little but not for too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared miss me but let me go.


For this is a journey that we all must take and each must go alone It’s all a part of the Master’s plan a step on the road to home.


When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go. Anon




David

So sorry for your loss, David.


Take good care of your self.
