Back To Black has already sold 2.4 million in the UK alone. Getting back to #1 will be a massive achievement!

I just feel horrible that performance will be remembered as her last. She could have given so much more. I saw it myself.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This might answer the question of who phoned the ambulance and how they found out she was dead, which is the biggest mystery in all this. But I hope to God that isn't what happened. |

Her record company probarly release a greatest hits, people will be in shops buying her CD's and downloading them. Her music will probarly enter the charts and maybe go to Number 1. Sounding morbid, but she probarly make more money dead than a live.

Amy is a very special singer to me. I used to be very snobby with music. Just pop music really. Hated everything else. I popped the brit awards on as nothing else was on and she had won Best Female and did a performance of one of her songs. I was amazed and stunned. I brought Back to Black and was immediatley opened up to the world of Soul and Jazz. I am forever grateful for her and that album to not only open me up to those genres, but to open me up to any genre out there.
I am still in shock and did cry when i heard the news. Long live Amy. I have since 2007 said nothing but nice things about her. I am so happy that she did two fantastic albums and bunch of B sides and live performances that i have burned to a disc which i did about 4 years ago. I truly hope she is not seen as a "junkie". I hope she is known for her iconic look with the beehive and most importantly, her amazing talent. |

Lovely to see an AT where we won't get the trolls coming in to be controversial and say rude things about her.
RIP Amy. I hope you're at peace, you'll be missed but never forgotten. |

I was at a wedding when I heard about it- I am still in shock.
I was only young when Frank came out but I bought it on impulse and listened to it several times- absolutley transfixed. For a time, nobody but me seemed to know who Amy was, but I knew it was only a matter of time before she broke through to become one of our most recognised singers. Back To Black is, in my opinion, a modern masterpiece and possibly the best British album of the last decade. Thought I'd post this wonderful Shirelles cover by Amy- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_r-b8vbK48 |

Amy Winehouse was a deeply troubled young woman BUT a hugely talented singer/songwriter. It was inevitable that she was going to die sooner rather than later, but still to hear the news yesterday was a complete shock. For the last few years i've been saying what a waste of talent, but now of course I feel it more so. A real tragic story. She will go down in history for her contribution to music namely for the album 'Back To Black'.

I love the video for Stronger Than Me. She was so witty.

She has left behind some timeless songs. Hopefully more will be released. Still shocked by her death.

Yeah it is being specualted her third album will be released incomplete with all demos and recordings for the album!
As soon it is available i will buy it, also Need Frank, i dont have that album yet. Back To Black brings back memories of 2007, and my grandma and Pap gave the album to me for Christmas along with a box of Turkish Delights that year. Back To Black always gives me that wintery vibe. Also as an album it really was that Pop album that talked TO a generation! It was Soul of NOW, and Pop of NOW. So different and also so very true Literally it is one of those timeless records, i mean i span it yesterday and thought that could have been released last week kinda thing! And in ten years...the same....twenty years.....the same OOOMPH!

So sad she has gone. She would have offered us so much more but her mindspace was in another place. Her 2 albums were fantastic and I love her version of Toots and The Maytels 'Monkey Man'
I hope her soul finds peace. And I hope that the press etc dont keep coming up with crap about her. Let her rest now. |

It's just sooo sad. Amy's was a voice that could send a tingle through me in a way I honestly don't think anyone else ever did..
I don't know about the 3rd album. If there is really good material there that can be put together then good.. All I hope is that the more in the coming weeks that folk hear from Frank and Back to Black and whatever else, the more people will apppreciate that behind all the awful tragedy that her life became and ended, here was a great artist, I just so wish in all my heart that she could have come through and trully developed and given so much more to remember her by. But she will never be forgotten by me RIP Amy. |

I think this is such a loss, she must have been so low and probably just thought she'd take as much stuff as possible to be totally out of it. So so sad.
Wonderful music and so many lyrics I could relate to personally. Unbelieveably sad about this. |
