  6. She preferred space to this planet. Too much pleasure causes disintegration. She was the British niece of Barbara Streisand. This was a Greek tragedy, an authentic "reality show" of witnessing a brilliant light burn out before your very eyes. sad.

  12. Any one else notice the date this doc was made? We all know it has to be 2011 but below the title at the top of the description next to the subheading "Biography"; is the year 2007. Could this be a film from the past with a foreboding prophesy for the future, which is now but actually happened a few months ago?

    It is always so very sad when young people who are only beginning their lives die regardless of the cause. Especially when it is some one who has touched many other lives. R.I.P. young lady. Perhaps where ever you are if there is a you in any cognoscente form or way, you no longer have the pain & demons to fight.

    Just wanted to add: Perhaps she & her beau are just this generation's Sid & Nancy only with measurably more talent.

  16. I have a similar issue.. I'm a drummer and a pianist, not really a singer. But i DO sing quite well as long as i'm belting. If i don't belt, i sound like a balloon losing air. And unfortunately i can only belt when i'm not nervous.

    I'm not a fantastic singer for that reason. It's in my head.

  20. to be fair, i only made it 7 minutes through this. the "documentarian" is more interested in making this personal to him than actually documenting. i can't believe he called HER "a lousy hack" at the start of her career. garbage.

  22. This came to me when I found out that Amy died.

    For Amy

    Why do they laugh
    when life is hard,
    Instead of caring
    from the start?

    Like sharks
    to bloody batch of chum,
    They come, and come, and come, and come

    Why do they only
    seek to hurt,
    When good support
    is worth much more?

    And now they've tortured her
    to death,
    Now, do they say
    how good she was...

    "Her generations
    Gifted voice"

    But when she lived
    and needed help,
    Have they Ever
    given her a choice?

    No, Never,
    they have never
    given her a choice!

    (only condemned her
    in one shrill unchanging voice...)

    Enjoy.
