[Amy Winehouse]

[(Anonymous)]

Not quite the same thing, but:
Hendrix.

[(Anonymous)]

Not even in the same ballpark. Hendrix contributed to music and in 20 years people will be like Amy Who?

[(Anonymous)]

Hendrix had four full length albums before his death. His death was also due to taking sleeping pills with wine (probably not knowing that the two shouldn't be mixed) and died by asphyxiation in his sleep, not of an self inflicted drug overdose like Amy. Yeah, I'd say he had more of a contribution to music than someone who was more famous for being a mess than her music.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh. Hendrix had more than one good album, was a legendary guitarist and influenced many musicians after him. We shouldn't romanticize his life or death, but I don't think you can really compare his contributions and Winehouse's.

[(Anonymous)]

she died from alcohol poisoning not a drug overdose

[(Anonymous)]

To be honest, I think Amy Winehouse really was something quite special. She wrote very raw, very true lyrics and combined them with a powerful musicality and unique style. It's possible that if she had lived longer, she would have disappointed, but she was great while she was here.

(And for the record, she had two albums).

[(Anonymous)]

She's been sober now for three years and two months.

[(Anonymous)]

I personally never liked her music. At all. But I guess a lot of people reallllllly do, so whatever let them have that statue.

I'm not exactly sure

[(Anonymous)]

But wasn't her exact cause of death pinned as "quitting alcohol (or something) cold turkey when her body was too damaged to take the sudden shock?"

Not that drugs and alcohol weren't a factor in that (they absolutely were)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm guessing that she's either the only famous person connected to that place or someone gave that as a donation and nobody had the sense to refuse.

[kallanda_lee]

Well, if they want to make it, I don't mind.

I just think this particular statue is ugly as hell.

[cushlamochree]

Live fast, die young, leave a beautiful corpse.

[(Anonymous)]

In 200 years no one will remember her.

[(Anonymous)]

I find it bizarre that people fetishise musicians, particularly if they die young and 'tragically'. It's just noise. Sometimes it sounds nice. But it's just noise, it doesn't do anything.

[(Anonymous)]

Singers who made music people liked and died young from something like drug overdose, are exactly the type of musicians people like to memorialize. You're acting like this is some kind of new thing?

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. Amy Winehouse is so over-rated. I never understood what people thought was so great about her and I still don't.

[(Anonymous)]

My understanding was that her family commissioned the statue, which is completely understandable.

Aside from that, what's the big deal? I always like to see more art in public spaces (even when I don't necessarily appreciate the style of art). It's not hurting anyone.

[(Anonymous)]

One good album? She had two, you fucking retard.

[eos_joy]

I don't have much to say about the statue or people memorializing musicians in these circumstances, but I do agree with this sentiment. My friends and I have discussed this at length - not just Amy Winehouse but the whole 27 club (e.g. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison, Curt Cobain, and more). Yes, they impacted music and had great music; but, they also made bad music - or at least unpopular or unsuccessful music. And who is to say that with more time they wouldn't have fallen to obscurity? I'm not saying they aren't great musicians - I'm just saying we will never know because they were immortalized for their young deaths and going out 'on top', as it were.

[(Anonymous)]

I refuse to believe that there are people as cruel as you, so I'm choosing to believe this is a troll.

[(Anonymous)]

That's one ugly statue.

[(Anonymous)]

Camden was her home town. Why shouldn't they remember her there any way they want?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, actually, her other albums are very much worth listening to. Try them out!

(But that statue is FUGLY! What were the artist thinking?)

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck you, you stupid cunt.
