People are extremely rude when it comes to this topic and it needs to be addressed. I've noticed that there are countless of people saying that it's alright and okay to vandalise and scribble all over the walls outside of Amy's home. how in any sense is that an okay thing to do? You're just vandalising a home where a FAMILY now lives in, like I understand Amy used to live there but come on now.. even she would disagree with this behaviour. Also there's literally a tree nearby where you can place your memories, letters and flowers etc. Like if you want to write something, you could use sticky notes and stick them all over the tree.

 

what do you guys think?

Well, Amy frickin Winehouse died there. I don't know how anyone could have expected the writing to stop. Surely the family knew what they were getting into by moving in there?

I think I was put on this Earth to make people laugh. Would have loved to make Amy laugh at least once.  :(

I would like to avoid causing controversy but... this writing on the wall stuff only started popping up after the release of that damn "biopic"

Well, it basically has to do with what is unfortunately evident everywhere today: the lack of respect for the environment and people. There are actually people who doodle valuable rock paintings in the Sahara or, for example, in Japan, sacred trees and temples with such sensible words as. “XY. was here”. In my time there was still a saying: you just don't do that. To me, these are extremely stupid, selfish people who have to mark their territory like dogs on a tree. Amy would have zero understanding because she hated that kind of behavior. I can remember a photo shoot where the photographer was rude to an assistant (he said something like come here, etc.). Amy then told him that the woman also had a name and was not a dog. 
Or at an awards ceremony where she pointed out to a journalist that he was standing on someone's foot.

I must also say that for me, Amy's apartment on Jeffreys Place will always be the apartment with which I associate her. Here she was happy, at least at first. She was typical of her and to this day I enjoy looking at the pictures from the photoshoot. And she was also somewhat protected by the fence. When Blake came into her life, she had an overdose there and that's why she wanted to get another apartment. But her move into the house on Prowse Place symbolizes for me the downward spiral in her life, here all the drug buddies came to her, dealers threw drugs over the wall, "journalists" now directly besieged her house. And Camden Square? More like a house for her father! And he chose it too. Amy was probably not involved at all - not even in the furnishings. To me, this house symbolizes nothing about Amy.

Sure, Amy Winehouse died there and I understand but that doesn’t really excuse the behaviour. I think all this writing stuff came after the biopic because I visited the house before the movie came out and saw no writings at all, maybe a few scribbles but it was hardly noticeable.

Obviously it’s not going to stop because people are going to keep on writing on the walls but I think that they should make a mural of Amy near her home where people can leave their writings and stuff on the wall instead of vandalising her home, but that’s just my opinion.

I saw on tik tok a few days ago that the writing did get taken down. The owners of the home put up a sign that asked for pictures not to be taken of them inside of their home. I feel bad that they even had to put that sign there. It's one thing to write on walls (which is still wrong). But taking picures of the people that live there now is actually insane.

Sorry. Do you think we are going to have a singer like Amy in the next few years?

She was a legend EVEN when she was alive. And that's the place where she unfortunately left this world. It's a shrine itself. Regarding the "family" (unknown to me) who live there: they bought the house knowing its history, and the same applies to the subsequent potential buyers. Actually, nothing is stronger than Amy's talent and persona. So, in a nutshell I think it's perfect to write something on the walls. I would do it myself.

I feel bad for the family.

I feel bad for what they did to Amy when she was alive: Belgrade fiasco, kidnapping her in order to perform, incompetent bodyguards, not giving a f*** about her mental and physical health...
