    Jill Scott Talks Death Of Amy Winehouse: “We All Knew It Was Coming”

    Written by Trent | Filed under Amy Winehouse,Jill Scott

    Jill Scott has dared to address the taboo topic of celebrity death. In a recent interview, the Soul singer spoke about the recent passing of Amy Winehouse and declared that “we all know it was coming”.

    However, unlike Keri Hilson, Scott didn’t joke about the situation. Read what she had to say below:

    I met her just once, in Philadelphia a few years ago. I thought she was incredible. There was a lot of soul and passion there, and honesty.

    The loss is . . . I think we all knew it was coming, you know? It was a catch-22. The more music she created, the more money she received and the more easily she could get her drugs.

    Some people are so talented, they’re tortured. Maybe she was one of those people. I don’t know.

    I’m definitely sorry that I won’t be hearing new music from that voice anymore. It’s sad.

    Read more on Cleveland.

    Although Scott definitely made a good point, it is easy to see how her words could be misunderstood. Next time she should just say “no comment”.

    Thoughts?

      I honestly believe that Jill Scott spoke the truth. Everyone knew deep down in the darkest parts of their minds Amy Winehouse was gonna kick the bucket sooner or later. I, too, wasn’t surprised, especially since she performed a drunken ramble earlier this year somewhere overseas. People have a right to their opinion, it’s only when they become outspoken and blunt, do we the public shade them. Unless they’re rambling like Kanye and other people…I respect what Queen Jill has to say about this.

      No one knew Amy Winehouse was going to die or if she was going to make a full recovery. Let’s no forget we’ve had many singers in the past who have suffered drug addiction as early as Ray Charles to Nina Simone to Chaka Khan to Whitney Houston. All whom lived or are living very long lives. To say we saw it coming, takes away from her contributions to music and takes away from the fact that she was once a living breathing being.

      Her words were definitely not misinterpreted or taken out of context, they were true. Last year, Amy’s mother even said that she saw the death of her daughter as inevitable. I mourn for the loss of great music–great harmonies & melodies, Spector’s “wall of sound” production style, and a soulful, heartfelt voice. The authorities have not even insinuated that it was an OD and told the public not to rush to conclusions. People made similar speculations when Brittany Murphy died and it was determined that she died from pneumonia., When Heath Ledger actually died from an overdose, few tasteless jokes & condemnations were made and he received a posthumous Oscar. To those who are joking, judging, & preaching, I hope that you can retain your record of perfection and free of ANY vices until the day that you die lest you be remembered for your sins.

      Jill is cool, truthful, and likeable, unlike that Hilson dude. What she said was sincere, without malice or name checking for publicity.

      Amy herself stated in 2008, that she believed she would die young. It’s sad.

      I don’t like to hear from artists who say, ‘we all knew it was coming’ and never tried to offer help. it’s a community and most in it just sad idley by and said and did nothing, Now that she is gone, everyone one and their mother has an opinon. Go on outta here. Not sincere at all!

      I think Jill Scot couldn’t have worded things better. Amy didn’t pass from an overdose it was high alcohol levels in her system. She was getting clean sadly she still hung to another addiction that was drinking too much.
