It is amazing that the death of a celebrity can bring out some negative and vile comments from people, the broadcast messages on blackberry messenger, the facebook status’ and the tweets, are all shocking.
Amy Jade Winehouse, born September 14, 1983, exploded onto the UK music scene in 2003 with her debut album, Frank, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize, after many successful gigs and festivals and an Ivor Novello songwriting award for "Stronger Than Me", she began work on the album that would make her an international star: Back to Black, released in 2007 led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, two more Ivor Novello songwriting award in 2007 for Best Contemporary Song for "Rehab", and one in 2008 for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Love Is a Losing Game", she also won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist.
Amy Winehouse body was discovered 3:54pm 23rd of July and by 5:00pm the internet was buzzing, some fans expressing their true condolences, others was comparing Amy Winehouse death to the Norway tragedy. There were complaints that people should not ‘mourn the selfish’ and that Amy Winehouse made a lifestyle choice, in comparison to those murdered in Norway she had control of her fate.
Both the Norway murders and Amy Winehouse death are sad, I must admit, I was effected more by Amy Winehouse death, I know her face, and through the media I know of her family, mum Janis, dad Mitch, and her Goddaughter Dionne, those she left behind, the more details you know about a person, the more you are able to emphasise in my opinion.
Following the success of Back to Black, Amy toured the world, and began a star-crossed relationship with a former video-production assistant named Blake Fielder-Civil. Around the same time, several media outlets began reporting extensively on the couple's drug use and, in 2008, Blake served time in prison after an altercation with a bar owner. Blake, is currently serving a 32-month sentence for burglary and firearms offences. Yesterday his fiancee Sarah Aspin, the mother of his baby, was allowed to visit him on compassionate grounds. Afterwards Sarah, said: ‘He is inconsolable, devastated. They were soulmates’
Day in and day out many of us wish for Amy Winehouse success or the rich and famous lifestyle, she had everything is what some people may say, but she did not have happiness, she was such a lost soul, so lost that she clearly was not happy living, this is a tragedy that someone so talented, can be so unhappy beyond repair, this is almost as sad as the fact that mere human beings, believe they have the right to judge another human with such critic.
