Amy.
Amy Winehouse was a legend. She felt things no one else could ever feel and she struggled. She was raw, talented, hurt, lost and afraid. She was vulnerable to a fault but never would have made the music she made without wearing her heart on her sleeve. We knew her through the music. Her songs got me through some dark days. Amy inspired me and blew me away with her voice. That voice that was raw heart and soul and hurt, a large voice that was too large for this world. People laugh, they call her a junkie and it makes me sick. Amy was a genius. She needed someone to help her, but she never found that person, because the only person who could have saved her in the end was herself. Her music touched my soul and the world will never know what might have been. But I do know this – there would be no Duffy, no Adele, no Lily Allen without Amy Winehouse. They will never match her and they will never be her. I will always cherish Back to Black. The world will never know another quite like Amy. <3 I pray that she can rest in peace and know that her music helped others in this world.
This is one of my favorite performances. I remember cheering Amy on with my sister the night of the Grammy’s – everyone expected her to be a hot mess and she blew everyone away and played up every single line of every song. She pulled it off and we couldn’t stop talking about it when it was over. I will always be cheering Amy on and all the women out there who struggle just like she did. <3
If you don’t have Back to Black, download it, buy it, listen to it beginning to end. You will be moved. The whole thing is a masterpiece. RIP Amy.
