Thx for your unbiased opinion though.
We're on this site so we can avoid looking at basilmarket. Just saying.
Mentioning something relating to this. Her sales shot up and her album is now No. 9 on the Billboard Top 100 this week. Her physical and digital sales shot up like none other.
People did this with Michael Jackson too, keep in mind. I can almost guarantee that most of the people that are defending her right as a musician haven't listened to her song in the past few months, year, or hell, maybe even ever. But now that she is gone and making headline news it's time to call her a magnificent singer, one that you didn't even listen too. It was a selfish move on her part to continue doing things she self admitted to knowing would be the end of her; which is also a weird thing to see the people defending her as a person. Once again, I'm sure if people had the chance and she wasn't dead and suddenly an Amy Winehouse discussion opened up, a lot of the people wouldn't had been saying the oh so endearing stuff about how she was a great person despite her drug addictions and oddball antics.
I liked Michael Jackson before he died, I didn't like him anymore than I did prior to his death, after it. I didn't like Amy Winehouse before she died, and I still don't. For the people in this thread, if you were true fans then more power to you, but I just get the feeling that this happens a lot when someone famous dies. People jump on others that attack now dead celebrity like they wouldn't of done if they were still alive.
