she expressed a fear that fame would eat her up. She didn't need to be famous. She was too gentle to escape the harm that fame can do.

This is probably the best comment I have ever read on KZfaq.

Very well said, Federico. Very well said.❤

DAMN RIGHT SHE TATTOED THAT SHIT!

Amy died of a broken heart. No matter what that boy did she loved him.

triple that Melinda

Tears Dry on Their own is my favorite song of hers

the back to black ablum is unfortunately the closest thing we will get to an autobiography Alexis ..... but when you listen to this stuff you get to see amy doing what she loved to do..... check out "the day she came to dingle" here on youtube ...was not long before she died... simply stunning ....

Thanks

+Ricki Coughlan People criticise because humans are obsessed with their own opinions and how they interpret the world as if what one thinks about someone else is actually important or valid. Rather than question one's own mind. "I have an opinion. Is it true? " is the only thing you need ask yourself.

+Ricki Coughlan He was there,we were not. He has so far made it through his addiction. He saw the talent in her and now realizes he shouldn't waste his own. He is a genius to some ,an asshole to others. Good on him to realize that being comfy in your own skin is the only way you can win the battle

+A man called Schmedley Amen. I never realized that Brand was such a talented writer, either.

however.. he made some chides that were not needed in order to disingenuously concede his own "plastic-ness" as he put. For true lovers, those who are sensibly sensitive enough to love with all their heart, this phony concession was obviously made in an attempt to separate himself form the others he pre-judged upon his walk into the show. IF he truly had learned anything he'd have first of all done all he could to involve himself with Amy's brand i.e. promoting it perceiving her shitstained demonic father and he'd be raising awareness for those of us who are vulnerable because we love. Instead he blames it on the alcohol(disease) when the suffering begins before the bottle.(pun intended)

MrRatherino Um...this was only 9 years ago. "Musicians" haven't been able to play or sing for about 10 years, because most "musicians" are manufactured acts or rap acts who don't sing at all. No matter what year, there will be exceptions and true talent will shine: Amy Winehouse, Adele, Alabama Shakes, Etc.

Beautifully said, I’ll echo that. The most mesmerising talent in my lifetime for sure, for all her sadness she made all our lives just that little bit more special by being here

You're so wrong mate. My preference is normally for something a tad harder like Megadeth, but when my wife bought me a copy of Back to Black, I was hooked after the 1st listen. She WAS something special.

i can be sure to you when she sang shes happy :)

Marcella Ramirez sad soul? In my opinion she seems more like a lovely lively crazy party girl with an incredible energy! I'm pretty sure she really enjoyed her Camden, her drinks, her loved ones with a true passionate attitude.

My absolute artist ever!

She tried at least… most people really don’t acknowledge how much she tried to get better and healthy… and she was right at the curb.

+Rex Mundi fuck I dare not think now that I know, A blessing, a true blessing. whinehouse

I think her boyfriend knows that. hence why he is little to be seen anymore.

She did it to herself. Stop placing the blame on others. She made a bad choice to do drugs and paid with her life. Period,end of story.

@@fairybits The world isn't so black and white, and it's not the end of the story.

@@montetown5741 he didn’t even seem to realise or appreciate her musical talent - love really is blind

Yes, wish I had. I feel blessed to have seen Janis Joplin live. The 60 -70's music was groundbreaking, shifting, beautiful, changing, experimenting, and I'm so glad I witnessed it. Amy is a new artist for me and I'm glad I found her. An artist died, but a person did as well. RIP Amy

Some folks making repulsive comments herein are so revolting that one has to wash their eyes after reading some of the hateful things they say as well as take a few aspirin to get rid of the pain of the images that it creates in one's brain as well as hiring an exorcist to rid one's computer of the demon vomit deposited therein by that evil posing as a person. I think it might be a good idea if we, who love Winehouse and do not like people who say horrible things about her, as well as their using this forum to add racist and prejudicial comments about other cultures, races, gender, or whatever garbage that individual manages to dig out of their perverse mind should be reported as using You Tube in a very abusive manner. Anyone who is continually saying that others are into sodomy and other such offensive things is obviously a very disturbed individual and has no business in social forums. I know many of you have been offended by this person and agree with me. Some call it (do not know what it is gender wise but it is passing itself off as a male, but who knows) a troll. I call it pure hatred on the loose and it has no place in polite society. I had made a comment to a British fellow and got a response from it instead. I told it I had made no comment to it and felt that it's comment to me was out of place and to stop and it continues to harass me. People like this deserve a special place in a very squalid area where it is fenced in and they have no access to humane human beings either in person or on computers. They are a poison to the world.

I started reading your comment but halfway through i had another drink

I hope it was a cuppah.

Sorry to disappoint.

Yo ... not disappointing me. Perchance, yourself. Have a great 2015 and be well.

IMO Amy's talent was so rare--it would be incredibly hard to meet 9r know someone like that. They are shooting stars that streak through our lives and leave their trail. Hopefully they live more than 27 years-but some-sadly not.💔

@@chrisbreedy2314 I think most people are probably exceptional at at least one thing. I'm sure you are too.

You're probably right Tony- Perhaps a more accurate idea might be that most people don't find their exceptional thing?

@@chrisbreedy2314 I was referring to literally anything as the exceptional thing, e.g., knitting, working on a car, drawing, cooking, story-telling, writing poems, etc.

Did you see them do the same duet on Jools Hogmanay show, it surpasses even this, she’s on another plane entirely

Ha!

Tania Hall Brand is VERY smart..thats why hes so off key like that.

Tania Hall Did you not read it....he never actually listened to her until this gig...

AMY WINEHOUSE was a daughter, sister, before she was a singer. Respect her. Fuckers look in the mirror and who made you God to judge her. She was one of a kind like the great Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaugh, Nina Simone and many more. They are in the Heavenly Jazz Clubs singing. We all should count our blessings for the music Amy left that we relate to. The heartaches, fears, first love, and realm or who we are...human with the same emotions as the next person. I had family members who were addicts in the 60's and yet they turned their lives around and went onto to great things, have families and be successful and their children. Lets all try passing human kindness no matter what sector of society one comes from....music is universal and eternal for past, present and future generations. REST IN LOVING PEACE AMY....you are loved amongst the living.

You don't remember The Jam?

Paul Weller dude rewrote the history of popular music in the late 70s/early 80s. Sheesh.
