She got me through some shit, shame she didn't make it through her own.

Love this version of Valerie.”

What a great summing up that you said is that..is that the right saying but i thing you have got it all to a tee..

Yeah, I'm on a mission to buy every colour Fred Perry available, when I've put in the overtime at work that is! She was still designing for them up until her death.

Myself, I found Amy attractive but she was not conventionally pretty. That will have weighed on her mind.

The important thing will always be the music, which will last as long as popular music is played.

What an amazing body of work she's left behind. So rare for someone to have the songwriting talent and the ability to deliver the vocal. She won't be forgotten.

We must always focus on the music, not what rhe tabloid press want us to focus on.

Her life became a car crash but just look at the young Amy before she became famous. So young and full of hope.

Any word on the potential 3rd album?

I was thinking they would probably put all the b sides and stuff out on an album at some point as well.

Went to 30 Camden Square yesterday and stood outside her house for 20 minutes...Just wanted to be there...strange feeling - I lay some flowers down and wrote a message for her on one of the adjacent tree trunks!!

RIP Amy - Thanks for the music, the voice, the fashion trends, thank you for being brave enough to be different (musically)!!

Aw, that's sad, creepy and beautiful in equal measures.

I agree with what you said though.

The people who said nasty things about her at the time of her death should be ashamed of themselves. No illegal drugs were found in her system.

Exactly. I hate the way some commentators have tried to portray Amy as a talentless wreck. The truth was a lot more complicated.

I guess Amy really was on the way to conquering her demons. Maybe she was just unlucky - whereas people like Keith Richards seem able to carry on forever (Keef, you must never die).

Or maybe the inquest will decide she was a classic case of someone for whom booze took the place of illegal drugs. Whatever. Amy was NOT a talentless wreck. She was a great singer.
