Very talented girl. Would have loved for her to still be around and share her talent and live a happy life.    Very tragic.

Seems that every generation loses a number of it's best/most interesting artists at a young age. The angels that propel them to greatness are accompanied by demons who haunt their souls. Is there a relationship between the two? Amy was the best of her generation.

You could hear the soul in her singing when she was on her game for sure and not so much when she was not.   A very stark contrast. The things that elevate people to greatness can be very fragile things.
