Its so tragic. If you look at and compare pictures of her six years ago, and recently... Frightening.

You did not see Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, or Jimi Hendrix deteriorate as dramatically as Amy (except for Jim gaining weight). Maybe that quick physical and musical deterioration, and subsequent death, will deter people from this kind of self abuse.

Yep. She had a gift, anda look.


I have to confess that I didn't 'get' it about her at all. She could sing onkey without a doubt, but her voice was so mannered and affected that I couldn'tmake out a single word she was singing, and that was even when she wasrelatively clean. 

It's sad someone that young dies, but really it was all her own doing. Mysympathies are somewhat restrained.
