Sunday 24th July.
Amy Winehouse died yesterday...23rd of July 2011, never forget where I was. It was the BRIT School's 20th Anniversary Celebration and we were raving in the Obie Theatre having a BANGING time and Ace & Vis Radio 1Xtra Dj's and ex school students were djing when the news came in that she had died. I remember how the mood of the whole school and the event slowly changed the realisation that this Young Girl who had an AMAZING SOULFUL RAW VOICE and that was emotionally lost had died at the young age of 27. Her being an EX Brit School student and it being the 20th Anniversary of the schools existence also made the atmosphere abit weird, made some people feel like they were connected to her abit more. I loved her voice and her...I remember meeting, well seeing her outside across this bar/club opposite the GAP in Camden by the Odeon, and me talking loud saying "Is that Amy Winehouse" and her shouting back at me "Hello Love you alright?" SHIT I had the fattest smile ever, mouth was proper sore after from smiling all the way back home on the Tube from Camden to Morden, the LAST stop on Northern Line. Many people will say yeah we saw this coming but I was maybe one of those "Deluded" fans who said She'll recover and she'll make another banging album. I even have her on my Inspiration/Idols photo album on facebook from October 2009, the caption being "Singer, Crack Head, Mad, But Still a Role Model 4 Me & Inspiration Cause she's someone with full of LOVE and she's one of the best at what she does in my eyes..Amy Winehouse"
I was supposed to write this blog about BRIT 20, but I could go on for days about how amazing she was. Crazy how someones music and life can touch you so much right? ...... Someone told me their tears wont dry on their own for now...I feel their pain.
The even at BRIT was amazing, the school celebrating 20 Years of existence and their success. Seeing so many old faces coming through and so much talent in the building. Just a nice vibe. Feel "Blessed" to be apart of it and the school, and hopefully leave there next year and be able to make the school proud by doing what I LOVE doing which is ACTING. I was listening to Ace and Vis today on their radio coverage from the Celebrations at BRIT and one of the teachers who has been with the school since it opened in 1991 was being interviewed said "you get some special students who are very focused and know what they want and are willing to DIE for it, this can kind of look selfish to other students but its just them wanting to Succeed" & I felt that was almost like who I am and sometimes how I can be seen which can annoy people, its ashame cause I never want to seem selfish or someone that has an EGO but I am seen that way, but I hope people see the MASSIVE amount of LOVE I have and want to share with people.
Ace and Vis said something yesterday that just made me smile, "they can't stop us from DREAMING and getting our DREAMS we go to the BRIT SCHOOL"
Anyways Im off this, back to chasing the dream
