It did for Nirvana (no disrespect for the other albums, but Nevermind was their one "wow" album).

List of musicians that died at 27.

Not to piss on the parade but she is in no way going to come close to the type of life beyond death legacies enjoyed by the likes of Cobain and Tupac Shakur. She grew as a celebrity in an age of ADHD inflicted media and her one global phenomenon isin't about to make her into mug and mousepad pop art quite yet.

5 Grammy Awards = Legend

George Solti got 31

Alison Krauss got 26

U2 got 22

:(

Its a sad truth of life that you don't always appreciate something until its gone.

Its why so many artists go on to become even bigger when they no longer even exist. Look at Michael Jackson.

:sad: its true!

Sad :(

I wonder if I had her on my death list, hmmmm

Nevertheless, 1 successful album does not a "legend" make, otherwise we'd be inundated with "legends" .....

I think someone's pissed off they've lost someone to post 3049 threads about in Celebrity News. Cock.

It's not about how many albums. It's about impressions left and how deeply she affected people. And she made TWO classic albums that were successful so get it straight.

You seem to have a very weird hate obsession with celebs who are always in the media. Weird because you seem to follow their every move... then question why the media does!

More people have died in the famine thus far than in the Norway tragedy.

Get some perspective folks looooool.

She was good and that but she wasn't a legend or an icon I wouldn't say. People are only saying this cos she's dead.

People are fickle :nono:

Best one I've seen. From my Facebook

Quality over Quantity, there's a fair few musicians who are considered legends that only had 2 or 3 albums.

Too young :(

But she ruined her own life.

The only reason anyone compared the two was because of arista moaning that the BBC were covering Norway which wasn't as important as Amy Winehouses death, it's not like people were saying "fuck her, more people died in Oslo"

Here is a video of Amy at the iTunes festival just 3 days ago :( Sad.



I am happy that The News Of The World is no longer running. Just imagine...

Oh god yeah I forgot about NOTW! I bet stories of hackings from a while ago will appear.

Just heard about Amy... can't say I'm shocked not have I ever been a big fan, but its always quite sad when someone in the public eye dies, especially someone so young. :(

i have no words

Why can't they be the ones who die

well Ive always considered her a legend and icon.

And its a status thats awarded an artist usually by pure momentum and general amount of media attention.

Amy has critical acclaim in abundance and is instantly recognisable worldwide. She has been one of the most written about music celebs of the past 5 years...albeit mostly for the wrong reasons.

So she absolutely will become a music legend and iconic figure. Her music will now go on to sell many millions more and cement that status. Her legend will grow like it usually does with dead superstars.

Its not about whether you or anybody else thinks she's worthy. There are many actors and musicians who only have a very small body of memorable work but are still given iconic status.

Ultimately it comes down to fame and critical approval. Amy had both on a massive scale.

The tragedy is you have to click like before you get to tell them what unoriginal cunts they are.
