I think you'll find that most of the media condemned people like Amy Winehouse for the way she was behaving whilst she was alive. And since she died the common theme was a very talented but flawed person that wasted her life.

Yes there will always be one or two people that worship people like that, but I don't think it's the media's fault.

That's my assessment too. I think there's a lot of misconceptions about the adulation of obvious 'talented but snared' artists!

Some on here don`t understand the power of addiction and why people are lead down this road , drink , drugs , or any other form are things that are hard to control , People take smack because in many cases they are trouble in their minds and this drug takes it all away and the are relax and feel no pain , then it wears off and they feel down again so they do it again as it makes them feel good and after a bit they are hooked and have to take it to feel normal and thats when the problems start getting worst and leads to death in the end, its a drug that takes over your life , its all very sad , not everyone is mentally strong and once hooked it takes a strong mind and will power to clean up and stay clean , she was just someone who could not cope and now is at peace ............

A somewhat surprisingly gentle attitude to addicts compared to earlier Philippines based attitudes! But pretty much my view! Shame about the mess she has left but, in this case, I don't think there will be as much of a problem as others might have!

As always it hard to separate truth from tabloid sensationalism and the fact that she seemed to have so much drug stuff around the house is clear that there was no way she had kicked the habit. I find it sad that her child could have been alone for up to seventeen hours, and that she couldn't break the malicious cycle and be a mother. Whatever the truths and rights and wrongs, a family is bereft of a wife and mother and whether that's Joe Bloggs from the most run down estate in the country of the most feted celebrity with all the trappings it makes no difference to that fact
