Every celebrity that dies, there will always be people who take the piss and are disrespectful towards them, especially when they have received the kind of media attention that Amy received. I just feel for her family :(

Ninastar 23-07-2011 06:44 PM

i know its a bit soon but I wonder if any of her music will chart from this

of course

People wouldn't take the piss out of people who aren't famous, even if they died of drugs etc. so just because everyone else does it and it's not as bad cos you don't know them personally, it's still wrong and pathetic. :/

Lewis. 23-07-2011 06:46 PM

Maybe, it will probably boost a few sales but I can't see it having the success that MJ had when he died, simply because a lot of people already have music of Amy's on their ipods.

People take the piss out of everything.

On the same hand you could say if a regular junkie off the street died, noone would give a **** or be all RIP etc.

Swings and roundabouts.

Edit. Apologies for the harshness of that post, didnt seem so bad when typing D: Still have a point though.

I imagine the albums will get a boost in sales but I can't see many songs entering the charts, if any.

well actually thats true.

Most MJ fans had his stuff from way back before digital DLs so they needed to re-buy it all again.

Vicky. 23-07-2011 06:49 PM

I imagine amy will chart quite well in the next few weeks.

Expecting a lot of requests for her stuff at work, so gunna have to buy some albums myself I think...we only have a couple of her songs :laugh:

No it's not. Some people can take it as a morbid joke. I say that as a Winehouse fan myself. Righteous indignation posts like these are every bit as bad as posts slagging her off. Man up for goodness sake. If you don't like the jokes then fine but why is everyone suddenly sanctified in death whereas it's completely acceptable to slag off a popstar you don't like whilst their alive?

What is it about death threads and bringing out the worst in people. Like Vicky alluded to someone, somewhere is slagging off something.

The only thing offensive is when jokes are highly unoriginal. That offends me.

Livia 23-07-2011 06:52 PM

Aleha hashalom Amy, you will be missed. No jokes.

The only joke I've found funny so far is this one;

Amy Winehouse was found dead face down in a pile of ****, piss and vomit.Others call it Camden

People will have they're say and Karma has a habit of coming back to bite people on the @rse, enough said.

Iceman 23-07-2011 07:01 PM

'died of an overdose'

Iceman 23-07-2011 07:02 PM

her family releasing a statement when they're ready.

Lewis. 23-07-2011 07:05 PM

Can't see how karma can even be used to make a dig at her. She was obviously a young and innocent girl who just got lost with all of the fame and the money. I don't think she purposely went out of her way to get into such a life, she just fell into the wrong crowd and unfortunately it ended like it has.

Novo 23-07-2011 07:06 PM

was this Suicide then?

Iceman 23-07-2011 07:07 PM

They now think she Overdosed last night sometime or early this morning.

I dont think so, I think just Overdosed on whatever she was taking.

Zippy 23-07-2011 07:08 PM

Im sure her family will feel guilty. But really there's not much a family can do when drugs take hold and the addicts a grown adult.

But I do feel annoyed with all those who allowed her to keep doing live shows knowing she would just embarrass herself. It's like they just wanted the publicity.

Shaun 23-07-2011 07:13 PM

I'm just waiting for her dad to cash in on this. He's a despicable human being.
