Wish I could say it breaks my heart like you did in the beginning.

This post is a very controversial post... Yes, that's right I'm going to dedicate my post to the amazing talent which was Amy Winehouse. 


I am not here to comment on her personal life. Although, I would like to point out there is a HUGE difference between, taking drugs and taking an overdoes etc. And to remind everyone that we still do not know her cause of death. In conclusion to this, I do not think it is fair to be so judgemental as it was her own life. Which also ties in with my previous post, you don't know the struggle someone has gone through, or goes through. Everyone handles things different. Her career was being a "musician" and "singer" nothing more, nothing less. 


She was unmistakeably one of the most amazing talents in British history. Her rich, soulful, smooth and distinctive voice came as such a shock from her petit and fragile frame. Amy's most famous work was that of Back To Black, released in 2006. Which lead to SIX grammy nominations, winning five out of the six. Including Best Artist, she has won various other impressive awards such as -  the Ivor Novello award three times and Best Contemporary Song, musically and lyrically for Stronger Than Me. 


It is so strange to think she will never grace us with her presence on stage or be creating anymore of her emotional and poignant songs. It is such a shame and she will be sorely missed now and in the future. But I am sure her music will live on regardless. 


I am currently listening to, Frank & Back To Black - combination which I have just bought off of iTunes. Ah she was just incredible. If you don't own both albums I can't stress how much I love them and how good they are. Will definitely be my summer 2011 albums. 


I'll leave you with one of her quotes, which, basically sums her view on life up! Haha... 




"My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking. " - Amy Winehouse


Off on holiday, the time has come at last. So shan't be blogging till I am back and bronzed (fingers crossed!) 


Hope you have a good one.
