People are still such turds about her. It's so funny when somebody's addiction kills them, apparently. She seemed like a very sweet person and was super talented. It was such an enormous loss when she died, can't imagine how much more amazing music she would be able to make if she lived longer.

I love her music, but a lot of it I can't relate to. The one song I absolutely do relate to is You Sent Me Flying and I guess that's what makes it my favorite one.

Yeah it makes me deeply uncomfortable how people still joke about her death. I posted something about her on Facebook two years ago, on the five year anniversary of her death, and I got several joke comments in response that were tasteless and gross.

Also I will literally never forgive NPH for his “edgy” Halloween decoration that was “the corpse of Amy Winehouse” three months after her death.

Seriously, fuck NPH for that shit. The actual BBQ corpse was so grotesque looking and upsetting.

I looked it up before I submitted that comment to see if it was as bad as I remembered and it was worse. And made even worse by the fact that she hadn’t even been dead that long.

There was a post here about it and some people were actually defending NPH.
