| #17 Frank G said: she was a minor event. For real talent in British sampling of R&B - see Adele, who's a lot younger without the drugs-n-drama Good call Frank... She just made my Ipod about a month ago, and I am clearly not in her demographic. I thought it was AW when I first heard her. |

| #15 They we paying attention, alright. They are just worried about how "Amy Winehouse Handler" will look on a resume. |

| #14 Her spokesman says everyone associated with her is shocked by this. They obviously weren't paying attention. |

| #12 From another perspective, I have always been a big fan of exploring how "artists make art"... and my Ipod library is pretty eclectic but listenable. From sculptors to painters to architects, I get just as much enjoyment hearing them explain "What comes first- music or lyrics, chunk of marble or "El Gigante" (the David)... With this artist, I never saw the artistry, even though I talked to a number of fans, mostly 20 somethings who thought she was great, I never "got" AW's music, but think I recognized the role drugs/whatever played in her creative process... Hard to imagine her being much more than a bar tendress/ bad hairdresser had she not been artistically "organized" by her vices. RIP |

| #11 I know she did this to herself, but I find it sad that she and so many others think of so little other than to numb themselves to death. |

| #10 Someone needed to explain to her Keith Richards spent his whole life working up to that look... |

| #9 Amateur! When you're doing a long night of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine, whiskey and vodka, you've gotta mellow it out with Mescal and a glass of ice water. Everybody knows that |

| #8 From the article: She was hospitalized in 2007 for a reported overdose of a cocktail of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine, whiskey and vodka. |

#7  "If I am backed up against the wall, I'll kick the sh*t out of it," she said. "If you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you." It's really a shame she went down that path. She was an exceptionally gifted musician, who understood and used idioms and influences dating to the early 20th century. Buy her albums and enjoy. From her Wikipedia article: She's only 24 with six Grammy nods, crashing headfirst into success and despair, with a codependent husband in jail, exhibitionist parents with questionable judgement, and the paparazzi documenting her emotional and physical distress. |

| #4 Looks like she finally got to where she was heading. Brace for "Troubled Genius Artist" stories... |

| #3 (S)he left a puddle of goo. Amy Winehouse leaving puddles? Oh, dear, indeed. Hand me that bottle of mental bleach from behind the bar. No, the *big* one. |
