Great to see some nice/ respectful comments on here

- on a few other forums I have noticed some very harsh comments ..
Personaly I think this is yeat another tradgic loss of life and talent
And I honestly think that almost any death is to be mourned/ respected in some fashion. Dont get me wrong i dont mean we should all should wail endlessly about it? - unless of course they were particularly close to you.
I agree that media response to celebrity deaths can get absurd and understand where some of the frustrations I have seen ( elsewhere ) not on this board, but that shouldn't detract from the fact that an obviously troubled woman tragically died at a young age.
Some folk didn't listen to her music - thats fine, nobody is asking everyone to be a fan. A mere 5 seconds is enough in my view, to at least think of her famaily /close ones.
Many, many of society's celebrities have destructive personalities, too much money,
too much adulation and not enough common sense/ getting cought up whith the wrong poeple , carried away with the " celeb lifestyle " have too much pressure put on them..and more impotantly have no one willing to say NO to them.... Ever!!
I know a lot of folks are getting tired of this whole superstar/diva culture. it doesn't help that on the next evening news they are probably going to spend 5/10 minutes talking about her life etc. etc. because they find this more important than the situation in Syria, Egypt or Lybia. Which I can again understand how this may make folk feel
Like most i feel very sad and sorry when I hear about some poor fellow who died in Afghanistan at a far to young age where nobody seems to be paying any attention to.
But a life if a life , no matter how it ended , I think addiction and mental health issues can be greatly misunderstood ( this may just be due to the line of work I'm in) who knows , everyone is entitled to thier own opinions of course ,
Therefore i am sad to hear this news of yet another life cut short but this is just my Two cents.
Don't get me wrong I personally wasn't a huge fan but recognise she did had a great voice and a lot of talent in her day - one of the greats ! And yeh i do have some of her cd's ... Unfortunatly that talent has now sadly gone to waste , Its a shame to see this happen over and over again......
