to think Amy Winehouse looked great after she...

[AgainWhen]

went really skinny/tattooed. She looked good when she was plumper too. But on Sky News they're talking about her as if in recent years she looked like a raddled old witch. Obviously there are some ace pics, but still...I think she looked great.

bad, bad not ace. Obviously.

No, personally I think she looked ill, and as if she wasn't looking after herself, which sadly has proved to be the case. Didn't she have a history of anorexia too?

She still looked very young though, was that what you meant?

I think she was a very pretty young woman with or without the tattoos, but she did look ill when she was at her thinnest.

No, she looked starved.

there was a period after her divorce and before her recent troubles when she looked much healthier than she had done for ages but compared to how she looked during the release of her first album I think she looked very unwell for many years.

No. I just genuinely think she looked really stunning. Like a punky Maria Callas.

Drug and alcohol problems, and bulimia, aren't a really great look. It effects the whole way you look, and that was evident.

She wasn't looking well.

No I don't think she looked well at all and I hate tattoos on women anyway

The poor girl just looked very ill and very troubled

No, she looked ill & deprived of nutricion.

RIP

Really? I really hadn't thought I was being unreasonable.

She had an air of glamour which stayed in spite of her emaciated body. It was that which you could see...not that she looked "good" per se....but that she was a person with magnetism.

yeah, cos being a poster child for mental illness and drug addiction really gives one that je ne sais quoi, don't you think?

Like thats an appropriate thought anyway right now. FFS.

She looked absolutely gorgeous in the artwork for 'Frank'. I was shocked when I first saw Rehab, I couldn't understand why she'd diet such a gorgeous figure away.

Hmmm, I think to start a post debating the attractiveness of a young woman who has died today is totally unreasonable and not a little goulish :(

op have my first ever because this thread disgusts me

I suppose I thought that Sky News were being unreasonable and wondered if others agreed with me.

Yeah right. Blame it on Sky News. You started a thread about when a girl who died tonight looked most attractive. Whatever!

againwhen Do you think you may have a problem?? She was seriously ill for years and you say she looked good????? She looked great 10 years ago when she burst onto the scene..but an emaciated and drug fuelled person never looks good IMO!

mmm yes....looking stunning here....

Punky!

How I will prefer to remember her.

Goodybye Amy xxx

Saw some footage of her tonight - post 'Back to Black' and maybe post 'Rehab', and she looked glowing. Gorgeous skin, sparkly eyes and just .... happy. Almost peaches and cream. Made me very sad to see how alive she could be.

What is terrible is that even now she is dead she is still going to be hounded only now it will be her memory and her family. We have seen it time and again.

Talent wise she cannot ever be faulted and who do we really hold responsible for the addictions?

Family
Friends
Management - who despite having to have been very aware of the problems she faced and the danger she was putting herself in STILL promoted her, shoved her on stage - basically they wound her up and let her go.

Just another case of too much too soon

YABVU, Amy did not look good throughout her career, she looked sick, and unhealthy. In recent times she did start to look healthier and I really thought that she was beating drink/drugs. I agree with others, the only time when she looked truely good is at the start of her career.

There is no harm with the op discussing Amy, it is whats happening at the moment as people are coming to terms with the death of a great singer and performer.

Im not having a go at you OP but it worries me that you thought she looked good. We live in a very strange demanding world at the best of times regarding what can be seen as attractive, and people with body image issues are easily vulnerable to this. I am not naive to blame eating disorders entirely on this but it certainly does contribute.
