Winehouse Dies... Meh.

Reader discretion is advised. The following blog may not
 be suitable for fans of Amy Winehouse. It is not the
 blogger’s intention to aggravate the readers who
 were saddened from today’s news, but will offer his own
opinions over recent events. Said opinions will be negative.  

The best thing that’s come from the death of Amy Winehouse is that it’s given me the excuse to post a blog update. When you hear of a famous person dying, everyone heads over to Wikipedia to check the details and the legitimacy of the rumour and I’ll confess that I done the same today once everyone on Facebook started posting of her death. Upon finding out that she is in fact dead, I shrugged my shoulders and got on with my life. 

This news will trigger many events; expect ‘Back to Black’ to peak in sales, clubs to play Mark Ronson’s cover of ‘Valerie’ on repeat, unnecessary documentaries about her “rise and fall” and re-runs of live performances. Yes folks, Amy Winehouse will be more in-your-face than the Jersey Shore cast in the forthcoming weeks, whether you like it or not. This will make the lives of Winehouse fans repetitive and the lives of everyone else annoying. Cheers for dying Amy.

I hope they don't do an Amy Winehouse 'Special'...

I don’t care for her. Never have, never will. “You can’t say that about someone who’s just died” you say? Stop reading in that case. Tossers die every day and she’s head honcho number one tosser. If you’re going to abuse your body so much that you die at 27 years of age, don’t be surprised to see the Grim Reaper at your door. When you’re asked “what’s the first word that comes to your mind when you think Amy Winehouse?”, your answer isn’t going to be “talented”, “brilliant” or even “singer”. Of course you’re going to think along the lines of “addict”. 

Let’s face it; her first album ‘Frank’ was only successful after the release of her overrated second album. She has a good pair of lungs on her, yes, but so do lots of other women in Britain. To call this a loss for music would be exaggerating as she hasn’t released a record in five years and wasn’t going to anytime soon if she had stayed alive. 

When Jade Goody died, I’ll admit to not having much sympathy for her, but Winehouse’s death has made me realise that there is someone in the world that I dislike more that her. Goody was a stuck-up cow but she did nothing to deserve death. Nobody deserves death, not even Winehouse, but when there’s a terrorist attack in Oslo resulting in the death of 92 innocent civilians, don’t expect me to be giving a damn about Winehouse.

With deepest sympathies to those close to the singer, they can take pride in knowing that Winehouse has left behind her one of the all-time biggest anti-drug campaigns for kids to learn from.
