I'm kind of in shock. I'm only 4 years younger than her.

I do drugs. Most people I know do drugs. The vast majority of people do drugs. Be they legal or illegal. You can't use an extreme circumstance like the death of a chronic polydrug addict to justify some sort of generalised anti drugs standpoint.

It's B.S. and it has no place here.

They're speaking to so many random people on BBC...

Everything in moderation...and all that

She seriously must have done SO MUCH in one go. I don't take drugs but I'm assuming it was an overdose and not just constant use?

Ninastar 23-07-2011 05:21 PM

Just remembered that I asked my mum to get the album when it came out. I still have it. I might upload all the songs to itunes just to listen to them again

What happened in Norway is much more important than some dead junkie who's 15 minutes were up a long time ago.

Not to her family it isn't. dead is dead no matter how it happened, people will grieve the same. Have some respect

Tom4784 23-07-2011 05:23 PM

I'm quite shocked, it's not unexpected by any stretch but I always expected her to make a comeback one day.

Vladimir 23-07-2011 05:23 PM

So sad. :(

This was in answer to someone saying the norway news should stop and amy should be reported instead.

Letmeinhad a very valid point.

Perspective.

Yeah I agree, though I might not have worded it the same way he did

yeah good point

As I said earlier, a bit harsh wording, but agree in principle :p

She thought she was invincible... and in some ways... so did her fans I think, me being one of them.

Harsh, but true ..... :(

tmi 23-07-2011 05:34 PM

Perhaps the thing is to some she was an idol, the story in Norway isnt connected to they lives has Amy was, but any lives loss is a loss. My heart goes out all of those who have lost someone .

Marc 23-07-2011 05:35 PM

It's just a shame she couldn't sort herself out. Her legend status is for her music only. She is no role model outside of the recording studio

Boothy 23-07-2011 05:35 PM

How are people comparing her death to what happened in Norway yesterday?!

It's not a fucking competition!

No I have
SkyNewsHD on
and BBCNews all day.



SkyNews are the award winning Breaking News.
Dusty BBC are way behind,



As for Norway
Jon Snows Live report on Ch4 news , just now
was top form.


The BBC Loops so much
not enough live Reports.




Amy may have been a junkie
but as she was also a Award Winning Star
so it had to go on the news right away.

Marc 23-07-2011 05:37 PM

Norway story.

Amy story.

They are different. No comparison can be made other than the fact that deaths occurred.

Obviously it's sad both have died, but seriously people (facebook,twitter etc.) need to stop comparing. It is by no means the same.

Why, because she had a deadly substance abuse problem?

I highly doubt she thought she was invincible. In fact I'm willing to bet my house that she felt quite destructible all covered in cold sick on a grotty couch.

Iceman 23-07-2011 05:40 PM

Im so sad about this I adored her music and I hoped beyond hope that she' get better :(

I wouldn't have thought 1 successful album would justify the "legend" status - we''ll have to see what her standing is in 25 years time .....
