I don't really care about Axl Rose either. I do t think he's worthless but indont know why it's so odd to some off you that these people aren't very important to many of us. Far more influential people died yesterday... IMO
i think we are all talking about important musically, but if you want to make a larger point, we can do that to. Take the song Say it loud Im black and im proud. Regardless if you think the song is important to you or not, it is important. just because you don't see the value in it, doesn't make it any less true. now granted amy's importance to music is like janis's or jimi's. it's musically rather than social import. the same as buddy holly or richie valens or Aaliyah
Amy Whinehouse is nowhere near the musical importance of Hendrix or Joplin or Holly. Also she does not have intrinsic importance, if Jayz750 doesn't think she is important then that is just it, she's not to him or me.
It's not idiotic at all. I'm talkin about changing the world and helping people directly, music is only changin things in a really subtile way. Some artists and songs really had a message, united millions of people, see Band-Aid and the Live Aid concerts that collected loads of money for poor people. Other artists make these problems public, donate money from their sold cds and involve themselves into documentaries and movies about the issues we're facing. Many musicians are role models and give a lot of people hope and power to carry on their lives. Now you say my post was idiotic, but you defend Amy Winehouse who didn't contribute to anything, had no positive message and lifestyle. Her music wasn't helping anyone, she was high in public and didn't let people help her, including her own family. What has Amy Winehouse done so that millions of people should be really touched by her lfie and death now? If you think her contributions to society and our world are making my statement look silly, you are a complete idiot, sorry.
PS. You changed my quote, took out the ",especially the one she did", didn't take the following sentences into account. If you're not even intelligent enough to reply properly I'm sorry, but My post was: You didn't reply to any of my pretty accurate points and just simply yelled out "idiotic", replying to a quote you changed and completely took out of context? Sorry, but you really looked stupid and failed on comprehension totally. Don't come up with mean and simplistic replies that are out of context if you're not intelligent enough to participate on the topic.
Sad for someone to die but past that I can't care. Never did care for her music but I respect her talent
Who said millions need to be touched? she was a talented musician who died. kinda like if a talented ball player died before being able to utilize his talents. also, since when does sending a positive message have to do with good music? last i checked, backstreet boys sucked balls. let the people who respect her do so in her death and those of you who don't care, stop trolling. nobody cares if you dont like druggy musicians. step away from the keyboard and listen to your bieber or kenny g.
Apparently she's been taking the same cocktail for years... at least 4 years. Here is article from 8/14/07 when she collapsed due to the same drugs http://www.wwtdd.com/2007/08/amy-winehouse-is-in-rehab-2/
I responded to the guys saying she contributed to society big time and achieved more things and also to knote saying BS without reading. You shouldn't even reply to me as my message wasn't directed towards you or your thoughts. I didn't say anything bad to the guys here who respect her and send RIPs. Just said that people need to stop actin as if she was a great person and changed anything. You already knew her career couln't be great in the future as all she did for the past years was taking drugs and being high on every occasion, disappointin all her fans. Read my past replies, when did I mention Backstreet Boys, Kenny G or Bieber? Sometimes seems pretty dumb how you guys throw out garbage bands or artists that have nothing to do with the topic and never were mentioned, in an attempt to look good when you have no actual reply to posts you don't agree with.
You didn't say anything to the guys who respected her music, but you spew your drivel about her lifestyle, you undercut her as acumen as an artist by commenting sarcastically that a grammy isn't worth much, and you challenge anyone that doesn't have the same cancerous view that you have about her with the line some of you are actin like she is an angel. Did I miss anything? By the way the guy that you responded to went out of his way to try to explain that it was her music that was beautiful and not her life choice and you still have cause to go on this diatribe.
Actually there have been other British Soul Singers who got big world wide before Amy Winehouse. That said. RIP.
1.My Grammy comment was about the reply saying "she won a grammy", as if that means every winner of a price is a great person, that statement makes no sense. 2. If all you can say about a person is she had great music, it makes me question why you are heavily defending her and her lifestyle just because of that. 3.Again the contribution part, I already went into detail in the same post and in a later reply and made spot-on points that you seem to deny or not care about for whatever reason. Seriously, how can you not reply to many of my posts detailing my thoughts and explaining it. The problem with you guys bolding small parts of a large reply is that you dismiss the context and all further points, that is wrong and not how you handle an argument. This is exactly how today's mass journalism works and why it fails every day. Take time and reply to everything I said before you criticize me, otherwise it's a waste of space.
And yet you bold this: "She won a grammy" And actually, This is what you said: "Whoa she had a Grammy, now that means something, we all know only true elgends and superb human beings get one." Who is taking journalistic liberties, again? I'd say your statement was meant sarcastically to undervalue her musically achievement. Whether you meant the award to be juxtaposed against her lifestyle is a rather desperate leap given the context. It looks like you are dismissing music that you yourself find intrinsically unappealing or devoid. But what do I know? [sarcasm meant.]
What's up with this 27 club thing? So like 7 famous people have died at 27 in the midst of tens of millions of other people dying at different ages. Yeah, that's special.
