    She's gone home, I hope she's found the peace she was looking for. Her music will always be her constant presence in the lives of those who knew her, her fans & generations to come. Rest in peace Amy your voice moved mountains...

    It's funny how many people sent their best wishes for someone who obviously died from something drug related, what kind of friend waits till your dead? F all you "stars"! Heartless pieces of shit. I hope all those fakers get what they deserve.

      Barbie You guys are out if order! Have some respect !! Despite what decisions she may have wrongly made she was still someone's daughter ! A lot of people will be in tatters that loved and cared for her - her addiction consumed her which is such shame. No one is overlooking what happened in Norway! Grow up the pair of you.

      Ulf Claesson Steve and Amy, I hope you fry in hell. The loss of a daughter is no less devastating because 92 (and counting) people died in Norway. For your information, MILLIONS die every day around the world, but that does not affect the loss of Amy. I was no fan of her or her music, but FUCK, what a waste of a beautiful and talented woman. FUCK drugs. FUCK alcohol. And FUCK insensitive assholes like you two

      Jason To Steve: What does one have to do with another? Many celebs may or may not have tweeted about Norway, but they do a story about this because they are in the same/similar business as Amy Winehouse. Therefore, they are printing reactions from Amy's peers. If they did a story that showed tweets from Kelly Clarkson, Snooki, and Screech about the tragedy in Norway, you would be coming on here saying "why do we care what THEY think?" They are in NO WAY saying that Amy Winehouse's death is a bigger deal than Norway, just that you are reading ENTERTAINER'S opinion's about an ENTERTAINER'S death on an ENTERTAINMENT website...

    I wonder how many of these people did the same over the Norway tragedy. I'm guessing not many...

      Ulf Claesson What the fuck has the Norway tragedy to do with Amy's death? Does the Titanic sinking become less of a tragedy because..I dunno..some thousand people die in some far off war? Fuck you.
