She'd have really messed up this week's Fun Online Poll results, had she been entered.

I drew this one exactly a year ago:

I'm a classical man myself, but I gather that she was blessed with great talent.

At university, my friend and I entered into a covenant that we'd die at 27. We tried our best. Sometimes, I wish that I had - it was the zenith of my life.

Although I've done pretty well, a few of the last twenty years are best forgotten. Who'd have missed my presence, I wonder, if I'd fulfilled my bargain.

In any event, I found Amy Winehouse to be rather uncouth, yet at the same time immensely attractive. Now she's free from the papps attempting to show us her nipples.

Sad inevitability to it all.

Twenty_Rothmans, how odd, I said the exact same thing with a friend (predicted that at 27 I would pop my clogs) now 20 years beyond that and still frittering away not getting anywhere near any potential I may have once had!

James Higham, indeed.

Makes you think about cutting down on the booze doesn't it?

I think the poll should be awarded to AW out of respect for a valiant struggle with all the identity issues involved in being a girl in the male-maniac dominated r'n'r world and Jewish into the bargain with pressure to be a Nice Jewish girl at the same time .Her rejection of this latter role left her with nowhere much to go.
Also she was a much better singer than those pretty faces assembled on the poll with immaculate phrasing when she could be arsed to concentrate.
Respect! as another troubled Soul Diva demanded.

Twenty, was she that good a singer? I have no idea.

JH, was it inevitable though?

SO, why the morbidity? Be glad you're still alive :-)

SL, nope, not in the slightest. A steady daily intake never did any harm.

DCB, what struggle? The novelty value of being the only young person who did that sort of thing more than cancelled out any prejudices she might have suffered. People still bought her records and attended her concerts.

My wife, who heard a clip of her singing on the news, tells me that she had a fine voice.
