LONDON (AP) — Amy Winehouse, the beehived soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits overshadowed a distinctive musical talent, was found dead Saturday in her London home, police said. She was 27.
Winehouse shot to fame with the album "Back to Black," whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop was a global hit. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse — with her black beehive hairdo and old-fashioned sailor tattoos — one of music's most recognizable stars.

Whatever the hell that was.
Well like most people I cant say I am surprised by this. I loved her music I have 2 of her CD’s and when I hit the hay tonight I’ll probably listen to her CD’s. I have two of her CD’s.. Its a darn shame. She was a great talent.
Perhaps our children will make her into this generation The Doors or John Morrison.
I have Frank & Back ToBlack.. I will listen to them tonight when I hit the hay.
Howie!
She was a once in a generation type of talent. You kind of knew she wasn’t going to be around long unfortunately. Such a waste.
This really does make me sad — for her, her fans, and especially her family members. Prayers for those hurting...
I’m not surprised, but I had hoped she would find some way to overcome her demons. She was a VERY talented woman, and it’s sad when drugs yet again take someone who had so much to offer the world. May she RIP.
Here is the song I heard that made me sit up and pay attention to her a few years back:
“Back to Black” — It’s chilling watching this today, but somehow it’s fitting...

Side Note:
She is now a member of the infamous “27 Club”, or “27 Forever Club”. {Morrison, Joplin, Johnson, Jones, Hendrix, and Cobain all passed at 27 years of age...)
You should care ih. Yes, she did have plenty of opportunities to ‘clean up’ but you know what, the influences of this world, a.k.a. “the enemy” catches us at our weakest moments and deceives us into believing ‘lies’. It’s tragic when someone so young, has been so deluded...right into eternity.
rip......since we Catholics believe in purgatory, than this young woman will eventually be saved.....
When people like Ashley Simpson and Paris Hilton are putting out albums (while people who are actually talented get passed right over), you know the music industry is total garbage. With computer technology being what it is, they could make Fran Drescher’s laugh sound good (or at least passable).
It’s like Hollywood, the way in is to be related to somebody who is already in. If you don’t know somebody, forget it. 20 years ago, a person could get in on an audition (like Bruce Willis). Today, forget it.
Her before LiLo? That’s a surprise.
If you can hook someone up with some cocaine, too, that’s an in. A lot of these folks won’t work with anyone they haven’t snorted coke with.
‘Too much blood in the alcohol stream?’
Too much blood in the heroin stream.
Batboy’s found a girlfriend!!!
Your post was #27. Be careful...
Bin Laden’s death was more of a surprise than her’s.
With looks like that, she could have had a very successful career at your local Waffle House.
