Amy Winehouse found dead

@Loose said:

Someone lost their life to a drug addiction. That's pretty tragic. It was also a person who made one of the best/most acclaimed R&B records in decades and I happen to like good music, so I, personally, am pretty bummed about it.

Someone dying because of a weakness isn't tragic, it's Darwinism.

Well now that you put it that way I totally agree! Sorry for not being a heartless bastard earlier. Sympathy is overrated amirite?

Wow, what a dick.

She was a great talent, drug addict or not. Just because her death happened to occur on the same day as the tragedy in Norway doesn't make it any less tragic.

She was very talented, but her demons just caught up with her. I think she was one of the those celebrities that needed to leave the life for a long stretch, or maybe forever. The music industry is probably not the best place to be if you want to get clean.

Easy now. Not everyone can be as metal as you are.

Erm, what?

Is this some weird joke about me being a robot or somesuch?

I love the clowns who can't wait to have a celebrity death thread so they can call comments disgusting and request locks

I never really liked her music. She just seemed like a Junkie that became famous.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
 
She was a really good vocalist :{

No, it means you're trying to be hardcore and stuff when you're a fucking Panda. You know, you sneeze and people think it's cute but the fact is your whole race is dying out and nobody really cares.

Seriously though, does this deserve a thread of it's own?

Oh, she wasn't dead yet?

Ya, can't say I didn't see that coming. Another prime example of wasted talent.

it's pretty crazy, i wasn't expecting somebody to die. i don't really like her.

Ah the good ole' internet. Where people make slights at others deaths that really shows how shallow and heartless they really are.

It's never a good thing when someone dies, but when a celebrity dies I will agree that they should not be commercialized to seem as if they were more important that anyone else's life. I hate everything that Lady Gaga is, but if she died, it would still be just as much a tragedy as any.

I am a very passionate person and feel for peoples pain but i can't feel sorry for someone like this, my heart goes out to all the family's who lost children and relatives over the horrible massacre and bombing, not over a drug addict who threw her life away and was a horrible influence on the youth and never really contributed anything with her celeb status other then to be a horrible influence.

Sucks for her family members and loved ones but im not gonna sit here and act surprised or feel sorry for her, my feelings and prayers are going to people who deserve it.

As a fan of her music, Im quite bummed by this news. My thoughts go to her family and friends.

27 is too young, no matter the cause.

Awww, panda bears! :3

People bringing up Norway in this thread are fucking idiots plain and simple. Obviously Norway is a bigger tragedy but it has nothing to do with this. Alps it is possible to give a fuck about 2 things at the same time.

Oh boy! A death thread on Giant Bomb! Now where's my popcorn...

Was she someone important?

well that sucks. Don't do drugs people.

Just goes to show if you go around drinkin' heroin and snorting booze it will catch up to you eventually.  
Hugs not drugs people

Frankly this is hardly surprising. It's hard to feel sorry for anything surrounding this story.

It's painfully sad when someone so young passes away like this.  I hope others will learn from her example and avoid a self-destructive lifestyle.  There's nothing glamorous about dying at 27.

But they kinda are. We turn to music in times of joy and sadness so it makes sense that musicians would have a bigger role in someones life than, say, the women who lives five miles from you.

There's a lot of Arschlöcher in this thread.
 
Even though I've barely even listened to her music it saddens me to see someone go so young.

i guess people can cross her off their celebrity dead pool list now.

i would feel sorry for her, but i can't. for you see, my sympathy is a precious, finite resource that must be carefully rationed lest it be wasted on some druggie scum instead of those more deserving (such as Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII, RIP)  .  once it's gone, it's gone, ya know.

Hmm...

As a general rule I don't feel sorry for celebrities. I'm aware that this might make me an asshole. I can live with that.

not only did we all see it coming, we all watched. its too bad she was very talented.

when people keep insisting you go to rehab, its probably a good idea that you go and get clean (for good)

I feel bad for all the London drug dealers. The loss of business is the true tragedy here.

Hell, it's about time

I wasn't into her music but this is sad news. R.I.P.

The choices we make in life...

you don't say!

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that when you do cocaine and drink, you die. I find it very difficult to have any sympathy, honestly.

Also, "junked up whore"? I'm sorry, but you're just a fucking awful person.

Cause of death: being a skank.
good riddance.

I honestly don't think I've ever heard an Amy Winehouse song.

She was talented, but very stupid.

I'll give sympathy to her family and leave it at that.

It's a shame that I even saw this coming. RIP, Amy Winehouse. :(

Well that's too bad. Wasting yourself away with drugs and alcohol is never good...

I honestly don't think I've ever heard an Amy Winehouse song.

I feel the same way I felt about Ryan Dunn's death, it was a perectly good life that was put to terrible use before ending in a stupid manner.

Self destruction is a little different than murdering your friend by driving like a fool.

I had no real attachment to the singer, I just started the thread as news.  Found myself skipping to the end after reading the first 5 pages of replies though.  Don't know why I am surprised but God damn internet forums really are filled with dicks.  Not news and I shouldn't really have expected GB community to be more caring or at least tactful than say TMZ or 4chan but really, some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

People who know they'll die without anyone giving a shit hold contempt for people who die that will be missed.

People not understanding addiction and people being assholes towards her ... there's an overlap here.
