One fan said: "On July 23rd 2011, The News Was Released To The World, Amy Winehouse Has Passed.
"Undoubtedly One Of The Best Blues Singers And Singers Of All Time To Appear On The Scene.
"The World Had Lost A Legend."

A third said: "10 years ago the world lost a bright shining star the unforgettable iconic legend of a lady."
Celebrities have been paying their respects to the late singer, with Jools Holland leading the way.
He told Sky News: "There was a number of things, she was an amazing singer. I was her friend, we liked the same sort of music, I can't speak for her now, sadly, but I think the thing that was really remarkable was first of all her voice, she had a voice like Edith Piaf or some of the great people she liked.
Amy Winehouse had "the sort of voice that doesn't come along just every five or ten years but comes along every 50 years."

"It comes along every 50 years, and I think the other thing was she was an amazing poet. It's important to remember she was a great poet and a very good-humoured person, great fun to be around."
Amy's family and friends are paying tribute to her in a slightly different way, with a few documentaries celebrating her life set to air.

Amy's goddaughter Dionne Bromfield is also releasing a documentary to honour the singer, airing at 10 pm on Monday on MTV UK.
Winehouse’s goddaughter singer Dionne Bromfield has also made a documentary, which airs on MTV UK on Monday at 10 pm, marking a decade since her death.
