That's personally how I can simplify it like that, I understand that others can't, but I can. The thread in Music dedicated to her musical contributions is for discussing her music, IMO, this is for discussing her death and her status as a celebrity addict because the working assumption seems to be that her death was drink/drugs related.

I think your right about celebs they themselves class themselves has super human at the end of the day, they have to do the same things we do, wash etc. also they will die, my idol was Freddie Mercury and whatever is personal life was like his music remains long after his death, I will remember him for music not his personal life.

I know this is about Amy but had to reply, yes Freddie will never be replaced, I am avid Queen fan.

Freddie was around for a damn sight longer than Amy and was also part of a group who helped him get where he was.

Yes he is a legend and an icon. But guess what?

So is Amy Winehouse!

Truth is, legendary status is something that grows over time after somebodies death. But Amy is well on her way. If you don't want to view her as one thats your problem.
