Update: My original post came off very judgmental, which wasn’t my intention. I was just expressing my sadness that such a talent left us. Sorry if it came off as anything else. I edited it a bit to try and stand by this point.
Amy Winehouse is dead. Is anyone surprised? The sad truth is no one is surprised. As tough as it is to admit, we all saw this coming.
Earlier today she was found dead in her London apartment at the eerie age of 27 – joining the likes of Cobain, Hendrix, Morrison and Joplin as talented musicians who left us way too early.
It wasn’t a secret that she was struggling to fight her addiction. She could hardly perform a single show without going through some kind of turmoil. She was sent to rehab, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough. I guess at some point people around you have enough and leave it up to you. The last memory that most people will have of her is that terrible performance that she gave in Belgrade.
She was supposed to be the future of pop music. She was an incredible talent who was able to capture the hearts of everyone. Not many artists had the cross appeal that she had. Fans of all types of music and genres could appreciate that amazing voice that she had. It’s just sad that her career has always been – and always will – be overshadowed by all of her troubles.Â
We lost a real talent today, and it’s a damn shame. She truly could’ve been one of the best, but it looks as if she wasted it all on her addiction. It’s sad, really sad.
R.I.P. Amy Winehouse
“You Know I’m No Good” always connected with me out of all her songs. That’s for you below:
