I will defintely be watching this tonight. It's going to be very bittersweet because she had so much potential and who knows what other projects she could have done in her short career but in that short career she accomplished quite a lot: winning 5 Grammys in one night, winning awards for her songwriting skills, 2 great albums (one of which has shot up to being the most selling album in the 21st century in the UK), her iconic beehive trademark and style that lead to being involved with a Fred Perry clothing line, her ability to pave the way for other fellow singers to bring back what real music is all about, and her vocals and special sound that featured in her music in which I don't think can ever be done again the way she did it.

Yes, she accomplished quite a lot and this tribute is sad but it's a celebration of her innate talent, a talent that doesn't appear everyday and one that only comes once in a while.

For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

One I wished I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

--"Love Is A Losing Game", from Amy Winehouse's album Back To Black

I just almost broke down watching that. Feels like the final goodbye.

Dionne is in LA I think. I wonder if she'll be at the VMAs. I'd love for her to sing "Love Is A Losing Game" at the end of Adele and Gaga.

Amy, are you happy?
She squints suspiciously at me.
"About what?"
About life.
"I'm happy about this salad."

That's the same voice they use for VH1's Behind the Music. I wonder if that's in the works.

So what's in it, anything new? MTV expects me to switch countries right now. :mad:

He still stands in spite of what his Mars bar says.

Sorry we're unable to offer this video to users in your region.

Mhmmm okay...

I'll try to watch VMAs tonight although I'm really sleepy. The whole ceremony starts at 3:00 AM here in Poland. :(

Forever in my heart! I love you Amy.

It starts with Amy walking around a corner from one of her videos, then the most gorgeous color picture of Amy sitting on the side of a bed, and the voice over starts ...A life full of soul was lost, but her voice lives on. Don't miss a never before look at her last recording ever....in a special tribute to Amy Winehouse
