It is such a shame that someone with such a beautiful voice threw it all away for an addiction. She is one of my all time favorite female singers, but I'm afraid that would be her legacy. We all knew this would be the end of her, its just sad to see it actually happen.
You can't let something become a crutch for you, and if you do you can't let it take over you life. RIP Amy Winehouse.

Amy Winehouse did not have any visible impact on the music industry. Her career was largely overshadowed by her substance abuse problems. She made some music that some considered good early on in her very young career, and then rested on her laurels while she immersed herself in dangerous, self destructive behaviour. She also celebrated her self-destruction in her later "music."
Jimi Hendrix impacted many aspects of the music industry. Not only his skill at playing had an impact, but his vision for recording, his insistence on creating a sonic collage that achieved his vision for sound and music, and his development of recording/manipulative hardware in the Electric Ladyland pushed his creative drive to the front. It surpassed his drug issues and had made his tragically short life the basis for speculation on what could have been a long and magnificent career that would have even more deeply impacted the music/recording industry.
While any life snuffed at 27 is cause for mourning, Amy Winehouse will get her 10 minute bit in the news cycle, and they no one will talk about her any more. Comparing her to Hendrix is not apples to apples.
I see your points and can agree to much of that.
However it's largely based on opinion. People growing up today that were inspired by her haven't done anything yet as they haven't had a chance to. Jimi has been dead a long time and people have had ample opportunity to listen to him over and over for decades and draw from the influence. He also came from an era where he fit into a particular niche that was seeking the sort of inspiration he offered. Today it's a little different.
Jimi Hendrix is beyond her still but it's relative in a certain sense to the time they're in. Everyone can draw influence from the past or from the current generation. Determining how important or how much is a bit subjective.
For instance when Elton John goes on about how music today is basically all garbage. This coming from a man who in his early career performed in a duck costume and his music itself is questionable as far as its' own depth.
In other words it's opinion based and Jimi Hendrix being Jimi Hendrix creates a lot of bandwagon fans; putting him on a pedestal no one dare touch.
It all feels like the case of Michael Jackson. Everyone feels sad about her death and loss, remember her music and how great she was, but when she was alive they all were laughing at her.
tragic, for whatever reason many entertainers try to fill an empty void with drugs, I don't get it, I wish her eternal peace wherever she is now
That's always the way, the media revelled in stories about Amy off her face or Michael doing something odd and once they were dead the same media printed moving tributes. Even normal people when they hear someone died from suicide or an addiction they always say I wished we could have helped or done something yet didn't seem to have the time when they were alive
Same story with MJ. Ironically he was only doing those strenuous gigs that probably aided his declining health because he desperately needed the money, now eventhough he's dead he can't stop making money

The good news is that they saved money on the embalming. She already mummified herself years ago.

Neither was Michael Jackson. :nono:
Comparing Amy Winehouse to Michael Jackson in any way, is a huge insult to Michael Jackson.
Part bad singer, part werewolf is dead...can't say that this is upsetting to me.
