Amy Winehouse

Such a lost talent..

 Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was an English singer-songwriter known for her powerful contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres including R&B, soul and jazz. Winehouse's 2003 debut album, Frank, was critically successful in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up album, Back to Black, led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made Winehouse the first British female to win five Grammys. 

She won the Ivor Novello Award three times, one in 2004 for Best Contemporary Song (musically and lyrically) for "Stronger Than Me", one in 2007 for Best Contemporary Song for "Rehab", and one in 2008 for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Love Is a Losing Game". Back to Black was released in the UK on 30 October 2006. It went to number one on the UK Albums Chart numerous times, and entered at number seven on the Billboard 200 in the United States. It was the best-selling album in the UK in 2007, selling 1.85 million copies over the year.

Winehouse's distinctive style made her a muse for fashion designers such as Karl Lagerfeld.  Her problems with drug and alcohol abuse, and her self-destructive behaviours were regular tabloid news from 2007 until her death. She married on-off boyfriend Blake Fielder-Civil (born August 1978), a former video production assistant, on 18 May 2007, in Miami, Florida. They were plagued by legal troubles that left him serving prison time. 

Last Saturday, 23 July 2011, she died. It was a shocking notice for everyone, the support of her family and friends was really notorious, and the pain of them and her fans. She was another talented young woman who entered in the "27 Club"(with Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison right now), taking many by surprise and causing commotion in the whole world.

She was found dead inside of her home in London, by a member of her security team, who called two ambulances; but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Unconfirmed reports say that Amy died of an alcohol and drug overdose, a lot of people are saying that we all saw this coming, but we don't really know that, maybe the reason is different.

An autopsy completed Monday on singer Amy Winehouse failed to determine what killed the 27-year-old star, leaving fans and family to wait for the results of toxicology tests. But, Duff said the scene of Winehouse's death "was investigated by police and determined non-suspicious."

A private funeral was planned for Tuesday 26 for friends and family.
