Was lucky enough to see her live 5 times. Concorde 2, Brixton (2), Shepherds Bush Empire and Camden.
Would have been 6 but gig at SBE was sadly cancelled when she was on her big alcohol fuelled downward spiral.
Excellent documentary. An incredible talent and a huge loss ...

Massively overrated cover artist.

She was definitely a very talented singer but I remember seeing her reach out to punch someone in the crowd. That was nasty.

I believe there were only 4 cover tracks across her 2 albums.

There is always a reason someone turns to drugs or alcohol, addiction is a Illness that's not really understood and you get ignorant people making sweeping comments, like your self.

I doubt there's a music artist around who hasn't dabbled

Each to their own, but I was never interested.
Seems to have been elevated to godlike status by some since killing herself, not sure why.

To get off their tits, let’s at least be honest about it.

How do you feel about alcoholics?
Is it PotG?
Thrifty non-licker
Sadly dying young and in certain circumstances around the '27ish club age' (Drake, Joplin, Morrison, Hendrix, Cobain, Jones, Johnson etc etc) instantly elevates the legend a few notches.
Talented, yes. Iconic, not for me Clive.

NSC at it's best. 
"You might be interested in this documentary I enjoyed"
"She's an overrated junkie who's only popular cause she's dead"
Never change!

I don't know anyone that has never tried alcohol.
Alcohol was her problem and what killed her.
In trying to quit alcohol, she had become less tolerant and that was a major factor in why she died, she was trying to beat it and sadly it beat her.
Anyone who has ever got drunk on a frequent basis, i.e. most of us when we were in our late teens and early twenties, could have developed an alcohol dependency.
All the things we enjoy the most are about altering our state of mind, reading a book, watching a movie or listening to music. Going to watch Brighton is an escape for me, I get absorbed in the game and it is one of the few times my mind will stop thinking about all the shit going on in my life, the pre and post match conversations and what if's, or more rarely the reliving of a glorious moment, are all part of the addiction.
We all use something to change our state of mind and escape reality for a moment or two. Don't be too judgemental about what other people use and become addicted to, it could easily be you or someone that you care about that gets stuck with a bad decision.

I could think of many artists who imo are overrated but not Amy Winehouse, I she was the best vocalist this century
Overrated = Adele

Obviously not her fault but Adele benefited massively from Amy's absence

How much of her oeuvre was actually covers? Not much?
