Also I get a horrible feeling in my stomach when this topic triples the Norway topic in posts, and when Drudge replaces his headline with the Winehouse story (seriously, she was like a three-hit wonder).
These topics have a set number of posts, and they're directlyu related to how many people disagree that they're terrible/not worth mourning/etc. this topic has more people who thought Amy Winehouse had no talent than the Norway topic had people who thought it wasn't terrible news. Topics are driven by conversation and if there are no dissenting opinions a news topic of that scale results in everyone saying "that's awful" and the topic is over.
Also, as awful as it is to admit, Amy Winehouse had an impact in my life, regardless of how insignificant it may have been. 100 people in Norway is obviously a greater tragedy, but their death is the first impact they've had in my life.
But back to Amy winehouse, she had an impressive voice, and I love her music, but I would never have gone to see her live because she never performs without being high and/or drunk. That doesn't take away from what her voice did and she DID have an incredible, and powerful voice.

Her home country loved her? I am shocked and amazed at this turn of events.
Because every British musician breaks records here. *roll eyes*
This is less "home country loved her, SHOCK" and more "US music industry refused to promote her because she had the wrong image."

She was amazingly talented.
