    Awwww her poor dad, he has been trying to save her from herself for years. No parent should have to bury their child.

    She was a talented girl.. but recently her shows and appearances were just becoming farcical.
    It's sad that she's no longer with us and she wasn't able to overcome her problems.

    To be honest I also have no idea what has gone on in Norway. Haven't seen the news or read a paper for a few days, been that busy with end of term garb!!!!!!

    I don't see how anyone killing themselves through their own stupidity and inability to control themselves is a tragedy for anyone... addiction may be a disease (I don't believe it for a second however) but she made the conscious decision to take the drugs in the first place which lead to an addiction.

    It is a terrible terrible tragedy for those who loved her and tried to help her as with all addicts who die... or aynyone who loses someone they love.. her poor dads heart must be breaking :( .

    This woman helped fund the drug trade, possibly 'shared' with her friends and caused them to have addictions too.

    A sad loss of life but not as sad as those who have been murdered or injured in other parts of the world.

    Hopefully other easily influenced young people will realise this is the consequences of such actions and will be deterred from making the same choices... even if it is just 1 person saved.

    Amy was very talented - no doubt about that. but, like many talented people she made wrong choices. I dont know what killed her, but while its sad i feel that Amy chose her lifestyle which led to her death. A lot of young people in Norway chose a healthier lifestyle which also led to their deaths, but caused by someone else with a murderous agenda. My sympathy is NOT with Amy!

    Terrible waste of talent and such a short life at 27 but I have no sympathy what so ever, for her father and family yes, but for her no, she shouldn't be shoving crap into her body.

    She did admit she had a problem,she had been in and out of rehab many times,she knew she had a problem but she could not beat that problem.
    she never did though. she went to rehab to stop her family and management badgering her. she was quite open about that.

    I'm sad about Norway and Amy too.
