    Yes Ive just been reading the updates on FB. Such a shame and such a waste. Not really surprised but still shocked. :(

    Terrible news. She was genuinely talented and should have had a long career ahead of her.

      I must admit to not liking much up to date music, and I know she was out on a limb, but she could have been much better than she was, I think.

      Pity but not unexpected.

      She joins Club27, the best way to go if you're a singer (better than 26 and 28, for example) but still sad.

      Didn't like her music or choices in life, but the stick she's getting on Twitter isn't warranted.

      It is very sad to see a young life cut so short, but what a short tragic life she lived, her voice & songs will live on, but I hope she has found peace now from her troubles.. Drink & drugs would never have solved it, such a shame she wouldn't/couldn't be helped...

        To lose such a young genius so soon in her life is a real tragedy for her, her family and friends, and the general public who appreciated her unique talent.

        Like a lot of talented artists she seemed to live a very dangerous kind of life style whereby life is pushed to it's limits in what's seems to be a "self destruct" way even though that person is intelligent and is aware of the dangers and consequence.

        I don't believe in God, but if Amy had one then God bless Amy.

          Sadly another very talented performer died to soon we shall never know what she could have acheived,I expect someone will make a bigger fortune from her back catalogue than she ever made whilst still alive and performing.

          Yes she was a talented person, I acknowledge that. But I've heard from my husband about the comments on facebook today, I'm sorry her loss is no where near as tragic as the sad loss of those poor Norwegians over the last couple of days.

          I don't wish to inflame this subject, but I'm trying to keep things in perspective myself.

            As you say, Sheal, it's all a matter of perspective. Each of both incidents are tragic in the fullest sense.

            I don't compare deaths of one person to another, as they're all equally as bad, and I don't think the British media have portrayed this as worse than the tragic Norway killings, if anything, this has been low-key compared.
