As most of you are aware, one of Britain's most talented singer has passed away yesterday. The potential Amy Winehouse had was unbelievable. I was never a fan of soul music, but over the past years, her music was so powerful that it helped me get into it. She also contributed in revitalizing British music. Her albums Frank (2003) and Back to Black (2006) were huge successes not only in the UK but all over the world. This was just the beginning...Well that's what we thought.
Unfortunately, her career will be tainted by her drug addiction. She was hospitalized at various times due to overdoses of cocaine, crack, ecstasy etc. Throughout the years, her health kept deteriorating and so was her musical talent. She had to cancel numerous concerts, and was even booed by fans on stage. Why did it all go wrong? No one knows. While it is always sad to see such a talented person die, we need to realize that her death is not at all a surprise. Furthermore, she's been accused of assaults, violence and disorderly behavior. I can understand why some people don't have sympathy regarding her death, but she had so much talent. It's hard to judge someone we do not know personally. Yes she struggled with drugs, but does that necessarily make you a bad person? Drug addiction is an illness and you need to be treated properly. Unfortunately, it was too late and she couldn't overcome it.
The cause of her death has not been revealed but only one thing would come to mind : Drugs. If only she said yes to going to rehab? "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"" ironically comes from her most popular track "Rehab". Britain is now stuck with Adele. Let's hope she doesn't go downhill. I'm not her biggest fan but she now carries Britain's shoulders in the music industry. Last but not least, RIP Amy; gone too soon. This is my favorite track of hers :
