Thread: Amy Winehouse Found Dead

I for one am sad for Amy. So much talent down the drain. She is such an inspiration to me in a way

Oh no, no, no.

All the news are showing is mad interviews where they ask who she ate with. That's.... mad.

It's sad how people judge her for being addicted to drugs, everyone makes mistakes, and all mistakes are different, her's was just too hard to fix. (To add to my inspiration comment): She taught me that I can rise above from rock bottom, she just needed to realise that for herself :/

Kelly Osborne on Twitter: "I can't even breath right now. I'm crying so hard I just lost 1 of my best friends. I love you forever Amy & will never forget the real you!"

HEY EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME. I'M FUCKING DISTRAUGHT. EVERYBODY LOOK HOW SAD I AM *points at sad face*. I CAN'T EVEN BREATH [sic], I CAN BARELY SEE MY KEYBOARD AS I TYPE THIS BECAUSE OF THE TEARS. DO I HAVE CRED FOR BEING SUCH A DEEP, FEELING HUMAN YET? EVERYBODY?

Something fucked up with this culture.

Xei on Dreamviews: "See me make fun of death and criticize the entirety of our civilization through sarcasm, all in one post?"

I see what you did there, jackass.

I concur.

Although, people do tend to get upset when friends leave.

I guess according to Xei, no one is allowed to grieve for their own friends.

Wait.... she was 27!?

I seriously thought she was at least 40 or something.

Oh well. Don't pay that much attention.

Had to happen sooner rather than later.

EDIT: Just read the other posts. Was she really that great of a singer?
I've seen one or two videos on youtube and it was unbearable how horrible it was.

I've only seen a few photos of this woman, and she always looked dead already to me. I always assumed she must be a zombie.

Wow I can't believe this is the first I'm hearing of this.

I'm in the same boat as a couple of the other posters, never cared for her music, only seen a few awful pictures here and there. Still, always sad when someone passes.

derp

All life must come to pass... Rest easy, Amy.

Xei I don't really think there is anything wrong with stating how you feel when something bad happens. I think i'd cry and shout at the world if one of my friends died too.

I think he more just meant the fact that she had to sit there and type it out on twitter.
Not really the same thing as talking to a person about it.

Not sure whether I agree or not really. Meh....

Hmm, yeah true.. I guess it's kinda like people who post "I FEEL SO SHIT" on facebook. But then again, you don't know how crazy she's feeling.. Meh, I dunno.

I can't help but wonder how many people, who are so disgusted that someone would post something like that on Twitter/Facebook/etc., have actually had a really close friend die.

Sometimes it's just easier to ridicule people than it is to understand where they're coming from.

I took it as meaning Xei thought she was using the tragedy to be an attention whore.

So did I, which is what anyone who can't relate to how she's probably feeling about the situation might assume.

That's why I said what I said.

I remember making a post here, and on facebook, when my father died. I couldn't give a fuck less about 'attention.' Sometimes it's just good to have a little support from peers, when you're going through tragedy. Of course, when you're removed from the situation, it's much easier (and more self-righteous) to just assume that people in need of a little support are just crying out for attention.

You're probably correct.

I think the more important point he had, though, is the observation that people are expressing their grief through twitter.
Where people at best can post 140 word responses to you. And most of them are people you've never met.

But yeah, criticising people for something society has set them up to do is really pointing blame at the wrong thing.

Also, I still want to know, was she really a good singer? Or good at something I'm not aware of?

I think there's a difference between telling your friends on Facebook (which I distinctly remember my friend doing when his brother committed suicide, condescension is always appreciated though) and telling your thousands of fans on twitter. It just struck me as gaudy lugubriousness because the entire image of Twitter is posting pointless messages that just say 'I did this' or 'I think this' without the ability to write anything substantial.

Oops, you're a hypocrite. Got laid yet?

She was very good and original. Maybe you watched drunken concerts. Or maybe your soul is dead.
