Tribute to Amy

I wasn't familiar with Amy's songs all that well. She passed away by the time I was around 4 years old at the time. But a striking taught I had was her performances. A certain passion she had whenever on stage, presenting herself to the world in a bold, "couldn't care less" attitude. That is what captivated me towards who she was. A rising star in pop that reasonated with many across the world.

Beyond her fame however, she had issues, just like many of us humans. Those issues started showing up more and more in her career, with the opportunities of help becoming less and less for her. Despite her need to change for the better, the people surrounding Amy influenced an attitude that became dangerous.

Seeing that video of her last performance in Belgrade stuck to me heavily. Amy's desperate need to leave the stage due to her uncontrollable state whilst the crowd heckled became an indicator to me that people geniunely have no shame. Amy deserved better than that. She shouldn't have been performing that day. Her mangers should've never given her alcohol; should've taken her to the hospital instead. I mean, why did it all have to end this way?

I may have not been a super-fan of Amy, but she deserved better. Fly high, girl
