I wonder if it was suicide, a deliberate attempt to be in the 27 Club.
She'd just been booed off stage in Serbia, and cancelled a world tour. Rehab hadn't worked for her. Perhaps she had given up on trying to get her act back together. This post has been edited by Virtuoso: Jul 24 2011, 10:35 AM -------------------- Proud to have been last to let go of the dream.

I'll be honest - I scarcely knew she existed but then again I take little notice of modern music, but I totally agree with Virt, 27 is WAY too young.

She had a sickness. An addiction to drugs.how does that make her a joke? She was a talented 27 year old that needed help. She didn't get it in time. I don't see anything there remotely resembling a joke. She also glamourised the idea of addiction very publicly. She had a fantastic voice, and credit to the fact that she did suffer from addiction and the fact that she did at one stage seem to try to clean up her act. She's not innocent though. -------------------- I roll 20's bitches...

Couldn't name a single song or tell you what her voice sounded like.

The missus listens to her stuff now and then and the girl could sing, of that there's no doubt. Shame she got into that self-destructive spiral of drugs and booze. RIP. |

Back to Black is a great, solid album. Always enjoy listening to it, and was waiting for a follow up. I guess that won't be happening now...

Re her being/not being a joke while alive... Until today, I'd met all of 2 people who admitted liking her music at all, let alone proclaiming her a tortured genius.
At least Cobain had some cred before he did himself in. It made the eulogising slightly less sickening. -------------------- "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders.

Don't think I've commented on Cobain, alive or dead. Just because people choose to not always voice their likes, dislikes on here or any where else, does not mean anything.
So does ones opinion of another's music become the basis of their worth as a human ? -------------------- " So if you reckon I'm an idiot, then go fuck yourself. " - ten80

Yeah, I know public proclamation or silence means nothing of itself. When you consider how many "what's your favourite music", "recommend me some tracks" etc threads there have been in that time however, not to mention the (lack of) airplay on the radios of passing traffic, I think that does indeed add up to something.

I only touched briefly on her music, and somewhere ( may have been from this place ) I viewed a docco of her. She impressed me greatly, or at least her voice did. You might notice I rarely have input into the threads you mention, simply because though I like / love all kinds of music...I'm lazy when it comes to linking stuff ;) -------------------- " So if you reckon I'm an idiot, then go fuck yourself.
