So a friend of mine who's lost the most important "thing" in his life due to his addiction to PS3 just called Amy a "junkie" and I'm like, Addiction,a scourge so under-rated when it's nothing to do with "hard-drugs".I have been treated for caffeine and nicotine addiction, so I know it's an extremely thin line between use and abuse. |

When you listen to songs like Back to Black and Best Friends, you know why they call everyone from Asa to Adele 'The next Amy Winehouse' [flash=450,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQIaihrTNSo[/flash] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQIaihrTNSo |

Amy Winehouse Is Dead = shocking - NOT! dey try 2 make me go 2 rehab, i say NO! NO! NO! what a shame + waste of talent n all. rip sha |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 2:33am On Jul 24, 2011 |
Sad story! I couldn't believe it at first until I saw it in the news. Well, the addiction is now done away with too |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 2:34am On Jul 24, 2011 |
eldee: Nothing special about the song or "talent". The media calls everybody the next everybody . . . its called HYPE!. Dimitrov = the next federer for example even though the dude can barely keep himself in the top 50. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 2:38am On Jul 24, 2011 |
^^^^ Amy has a great voice! The only singer I can compare to her now is Adele - with a similar voice. Rehab is still my favorite track. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 2:41am On Jul 24, 2011 |
all4naija: Now she's dead she has the greatest voice ever. There are far better talents voice-wise than her. Mariah Carey for one. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by eldee(m): 2:49am On Jul 24, 2011 |
davidylan: So using your example now Dimitrov is Amy Winehouse and Adele is Federer? Smh. The hype argument is kinda dumb . . . they could have chosen anyone but all the major award bodies, talent spotters, fans . . . all had a meeting and decided to choose sum random troubled chic for the hype. It's your opinion though, art is subjective. At least this doesn't rank up there with the daft statement about poor people not being affected by drug addiction. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 3:03am On Jul 24, 2011 |
eldee: there is something called ANALOGY stup[i]i[/i]d. At no point was the suggestion made that Federer is a singer. eldee: You're simply being a fool for the sake of it. The hype claim is very valid. Britney Spears has awards too . . . milli vanilli won awards as well. If awards are the sole barometer for greatness then we should assume Jessican Simpson is a star too huh? eldee: Stup[i]i[/i]d again, i already explained that was used as sarcasm. For someone who accuses another of typing before reading, you might want to take your own advice. |

She joined the 27club http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by eldee(m): 3:46am On Jul 24, 2011 |
davidylan: You just feel the need to talk, I was here joking about the fact that apply your analogy, the beneficiary of the 'hype' would have been Asa/Adele and not Amy Winehouse . . . but you obviously do a better job at exposing your idiocy. davidylan: Spurning more cliche B.S I see. The strawman. Where did I point to awards as the sole barometer for greatness?? Impressive though, considering the daftness you've displayed so far. And please wait if Milli Vanilli won a Grammy for handing in sumn recorded by someone else, how does that affect the credibility of the Award?? Are you usually this retarded? davidylan: Excuse me for assuming that you ignored the fact that cheaper drugs have led to the same outcome. Oh, even your 'sarcasm' is still flawed on that. I guess you're allowed to be retarded as long as you tag is as sarcasm then. . . oshi oda. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Ibime(m): 3:46am On Jul 24, 2011 |
Goodbye Amy. Lovely music, brilliant lyrics well thought out and delivered with soul. Am sure the drug use started "like play, like play". Reminds me of the body of the 23 year old girl found recently who'd been addicted to heroine from the age of 15. Unfortunately in life, some young people do things out of youthful naivety that they never recover from into adulthood. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nymphnode(m): 3:56am On Jul 24, 2011 |
9 pages already Amy, and still counting! You are one heck of an addiction goddess. You rock gurl!!! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 4:12am On Jul 24, 2011 |
the typical need to feel "intelligent" rearing its head by our resident computer jingoists. eldee: Here's the problem, your main goal here is to primarily to antagonise which is why you are not taking time to thoroughly read thru your own insults before posting: the british press calls Adele the next amy winehouse . . . 1. that is an indirect complement to Amy Winehouse being good enough to have others be compared to them. 2. It IS actually Adele who is the beneficiary of the hype in terms of the comparison! In the Rollingstone magazine (Jan 2009 edition), 21-yr old Adele is described as UK's newest soul star comparing her to Amy Winehouse (i.e. an barometer for how good she is or may become). This is how one paper describes her - Having already been hailed by multiple critics as the "new Amy Winehouse," it is clear that soul singer/songwriter Adele (formally known as Adele Laurie Blue Adkins) has a lot of praise to look forward to in the near future. At just 19 years old, the London native has already received critical acclaim, becoming the very first recipient of the Critics Choice prize at this year's Brit Awards, which is an award given to the musical artist who is "most likely to make it big in 2008." Without a doubt the person being hyped here is Adele! She is being compared to a soul standard - Amy. Just the same way Dimitrov is being held to a tennis standard in Federer. Back to your earliest post: you said the album "back to black" is good enough to the extent that other artistes are now being compared to Amy. Now that's just BS hype typical of the media which cant wait to crown the next "superstar". My point was basically this: 1. Amy isnt really that good! Face it . . . she barely cracked the US market. Not many know her here. 2. To compare Adele to her . . . hmm isnt really saying much for Adele herself. Seriously . . . your need to be insulting seems to have overwhelmed your ability to understand a simple analogy. How sad. eldee:" You certainly didnt point to awards as the sole barometer for success but to disparage my opinion of her on the basis of "but all the major award bodies, talent spotters, fans . . . all had a meeting and decided to choose sum random troubled chic for the hype" means you think because she's won awards or the acclaim of a few critics then that should be enough to cement her greatness? So what? We have Britney Spears winning awards and critics acclaims too. So whats new? eldee: Daft. Again that was a sarcastic comment . . . not merely a tag. One of the drivers of black crime here in the US is drugs. A good bunch of welfare recipients here are on drugs which is why Florida wanted to institute mandatory drug testing for medicaid recipients (basically the dirt poor). The facts are there - too bad fools like you who are only interested in hurling insults cant see the sarcasm even when its pointed out to you in black and white. this has nothing to do with how expensive the drug is or whether they lead to the same or different outcomes. Try to read before bleating next time. |

Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by nellaluv(f): 5:27am On Jul 24, 2011 |
R.I.P, Amy Winehouse. She has always been a hot mess anyway, hope she will at least look decent on her funeral. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by slymm(f): 5:32am On Jul 24, 2011 |
This argument over Amy Winehouse? Ok. I almost feel no sympathy for her, she was in a society that could have given her all the help she wanted, but No! No! No!, a million horses could not have pulled her to rehab. RIP. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by coolestboy(m): 5:36am On Jul 24, 2011 |
Ehnehn! If she die nkó, who cares? My grandpa no die? ABEGI! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 7:15am On Jul 24, 2011 |
Wetin kill her ? |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 7:52am On Jul 24, 2011 |
She is just anoda dead body. Who cares. All dese british people with overhyping their own. Shame on their society. Celebrating a drugs abuser n wanting the world to feel sorry for her. Bulls.h.I.t. Shee should go down 6 feets where she now belongs. She had it coming a long time. We all knew this was how it was going to end. She knew it too! She too the easy way out. *walks out of the thread* |

Davidylan seems to come online only to bash posters on death threads. The girl was talented. |

Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sagamite(m): 9:36am On Jul 24, 2011 |
redsun: You are a cretin! Where did you see me wish poofters like you dead or even junkies dead! Poorly educated foool! When did not having pity for irresponsible people that lose their lives equate to wishing they lose their lives? You are really that dumb? coogar: You are daft! There are occasions when other people can not cope with pressure, they don't go and use drugs. How does that mean people need drugs? So do drug cheats in athletics need drugs because they make a choice to use it to perform as people expect? Who is the illiterate with such simpleton thinking? coogar: You still want to be arguing stewpidly against science that marijuana is not addictive. I ask you again: If people take marijuana everyday will they not be addicted? coogar: More like you are imposing daft sense! Saying food is addictive is purely moronic! coogar: What utter rubbish! You need to go and read the difference between disorder and addiction. Your mental system of applying common sense is obviously in disorder, that does not equate to addiction. coogar: You are a mooron. So you think you can throw a claim my way that you cannot back up and I would not ask you to? So you were trying to BShit me? You were trying to BShit Sagamite? Emi Sagamite? Slap yourself! Hot one o! coogar: You are a foooooooool! I tell you again: 99% of things in life is not harmful and addictive. Don't ever in your daft mind compare crack to 99% of things in life again. That was daft sense! coogar: Fck me! You are a cretin! So prescribing something that people are addicted to when detoxing them make the drugs medicinal? What kind of dunce is this for fck sake? You really a some shithead mooron! coogar: You are a dunce! You justified taking alcohol by saying because I can do without alcohol does not mean others can not. The reason I can do without alcohol is because I don't take it. Your daft arse claims some people need alcohol and I am asking you were they born to need alcohol? Fooooooool! coogar: You are a mooron! Being intellectual does not mean you can not be irresponsible! Invest in a Psychology book to stop speaking like a fooool! coogar: You are a cretin! Before I even respond to this moronic statement, let me ask you the dreaded question: Back it up. Show me where people sued mcdonald's for addiction to mcdonald's. coogar: You are a cretin! You claimed they needed it! And you daft arse contradicted yourself. No one needs crack! There is no biological urge telling you you must take crack for the first time, it is a flipping choice. Fooool! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Billionz(m): 9:38am On Jul 24, 2011 |
Now everyone is like 'Gosh i really liked Amy, i was a huge fan' 99% of u hvnt even played any of her songs dis yr. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sagamite(m): 9:44am On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: eldee: eldee, you want to join in this daft attempt to compare medicinal drugs to crack? Feel free, I will enjoy the process of intellectually shredding! Lets go back to both of you's drug use, was it a disease that led to people taking alcohol/tobacco or personal choice? If a person takes something that has potential to be addictive, that is harmful and they don't need it, are they not acting irresponsibly? Is the irresponsibility not a choice, is it a disease as you claimed? Common sense will tell you that if you don't try it, you can not be addicted? Class, I lie? So trying it is your fault and irresponsible? Can you both applaud, please. coogar: You are a cretin! Where did I say anyone taking any drug is irresponsible? Am I the foool that is comparing aspirin to crack? And you are talking about ripping degree certificates? I want to start hearing the sound of it being shredded now! Dumbo! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by mruwaifo(m): 9:49am On Jul 24, 2011 |
Really such a shame . |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by beknown(m): 9:57am On Jul 24, 2011 |
The death of Amy Winehouse should sound a message of warning to some people who abuse their bodies by way of drugs and alchohol. I can only conclude that Amy Winehouse committed suicide because her lifestyle was deadly, to say the least. She had many opportunities to change her ways but she blew them. Everybody has a special talent. She did not use her talent wisely. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sagamite(m): 10:03am On Jul 24, 2011 |
Don't take drugs! You do not need it, it will not help you, it is likely addictive, it is highly likely to harm you, it is more likely to destroy your life on the long run (it does not improve it), it is more likely to exacerbate your problems. Virtually everyone in the West is well informed on that. If you decide as an adult to be irresponsible and take drugs, why should I feel sorry for you? |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by denzel2009: 10:36am On Jul 24, 2011 |
Ok guys, who wants to see coogar in his element cos sagamite just pulled the devils bra. Hmmm this going to be a glorious sunday! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by redsun(m): 10:47am On Jul 24, 2011 |
Sagamite: What makes you think that her being dead is better is not better than your miserable,single minded,myopic and brainwashed life?Animal like you thinks life owe you anything,even when you are living like a zombie. |
