Amy Winehouse
Amy Jade Winehouse was an English singer-songwriter, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including soul, jazz and R&B.
Winehouse's 2003 debut album Frank did well, both commercially and critically, in her native Britain. It was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up album Back to Black led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night and becoming the first British singer to win five Grammys, including three of the "Big Four": Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. On February 14, 2007, she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist; she had also been nominated for Best British Album. She won the Ivor Novello Award twice, among other prestigious distinctions.
Winehouse created media buzz apart from her singing. Her distinctive style, most notably her former signature beehive hairstyle, spawned imitators and been the muse for fashion designers, most notably Karl Lagerfeld. The singer's struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, as well as self-destructive behaviour, became regular tabloid news from 2007. She and her former husband were also plagued by legal troubles that led to the cancellation of several tour dates.
Her body was found in her London home on July 23, 2011.
“You know I'm no good”
“When will we get the chance to be just friends? It's never safe for us, not even in the evening, cuz I've been drinking. Not in the morning, when your shit works. It's always dangerous when everybody's sleeping, and I've been thinking...Can we be alone?”
“I can't help you if you won't help yourself.”
“We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred time, you go back to her and I go back to black...”
“Emulate all the shit my mother hates, I can't help but demonstrate my freudian fate”
“If you don't throw yourself into something, you'll never know what you could have had.”
“I believe in fate and I believe that things happen for a reason but I don't think that there's a high power, necessarily. I believe in karma very much though.”
“You've got a degree in philosophy; so you think you're cleverer than me. But I'm not just some drama queen. Cause it's where you're at, not where you've been.”
“Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach meThat I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway.”
“Mr False Pretence, you don't make senseI just don't know youBut you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbyeI think I love you”
“Feel so fucking angry; don't want to be reminded of you, But when I left my shit in your kitchen, I said goodbye to your bedroom it smelled of you”
“Relationship doesn’t remain, We resonate on different flames, I could cut you down again, If you were like all other men, If you were like all other men, I know that I could shut you down again”
“I couldn't resist him, his eyes were like yours, his hair was exactly the shade of brown.He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell, it was dark and I was lying down.”
“What kind of fuckery is this?”
