but it's clearly not just me.

I think you'll find that amongst music critics, fellow artists and the music world generally Amy was regarded as one of the biggest talents in music.

but yeah, you know better...

Of course, you are welcome to continue the devaluation of the terms - I prefer not to .....

I have many disagreements with Zippy,(friendly ones), who you answered in the above post and I am not a great fan of Amy but I have to say when anything is written of real legends of music in the future,certainly, with no doubt whatsoever Amy Winehouse would have to included.

why it bothers you that many want to herald her as a music legend I really dont know. Many music legends are remembered for far less work.

And Back to black was not "quite" successful nor was she pop. Sheesh @ the ignorance from people on this thread who clearly know sod all about her.

put your hysterical handbag away. she is no legend. overall she is pop as her records were chart and played by pop stations.

the last 5 years she was a car crash. she was no adele for example.

you need to put your bitter stick away and stop trying to poke people for a reaction.

Who cares what she was for past few years when drugs took hold? Doesnt negate her talent, her music or her success.

i have to admit i never truly listened to her msic wasn't a huge fan, but she def will be remembered. not just because of her unique style but because people like to class tragic figures in the legend pile.

well thats true. I always found Heath Ledger annoying as an actor but apparently he's an acting legend.

Definitely.

Thats one who actually noone cares about before he died.

I quite liked him, but the blind adoration for him after his death was ridiculous :/

I really don't understand why this happens to so many deceased famous people. I mean like I totally understand Amy was an extremely talented woman and I did know a few of her songs but was never a huge fan so I don't really see the need to buy her albums when I had no intention to do so whilst she was alive.

I concur. I confess i never understood a word he said in movies.

Kelly Osbourne attended the funeral today and her hair was shaped like a beehive in tribute to her late friend.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

from the funeral pics it doesn't look like aislene was invited. kind of makes you wonder about the scene she pulled outside the house

[Marc]

Aw I want to see pics from the funeral

It's almost like a back handed compliment saying your music was good but not good enough for me to appreciate it in your own time.

I admit that now that she's truly gone a part of me wants to properly listen to her work now. Especially since I know that back to black was kind of an autobiography?

And I finally want to check out jackass cause of ryan dunn. still not keen on seeing people but fireworks up their assholes for fun/pleasure but will give it a try as some say he was yes..a legend!
