Well my comment was more to point out CK's insensitivity wrt another thread on the subject. It was not to get one over on him. But I can see how you might have come to that conclusion - it was not my objective.
all this fuss and misplaced grief over a drug addict, whose oeuvre was mediocre at best.
would people care about the next skag addict who dies in Camden?
maybe her death will highlight the problem in the borough and help other crack whores with their addiction?
i doubt it though.
Not my sort of music, but even I could see she had bucket loads of talent.
A great shame, and a great waste.

go on then, i'll pick that gauntlet up. would you like to back up how you quantify her musical output ? or is it just your laymans' opinion based on your own taste and prejudice ? the latter is fine of course. problem is, it limits you to making judgements on whether you like it or not, rather than placing it somewhere on a scale of good to bad. if you want to do that, then you need to be judging it on criteria such as ability, originality, longevity, its influence on others. i'm sure there are more.
mediocre ? my arse.
I used to like her music but I increasingly lost interest in her as an artist as her life spiralled towards a bottomless pit of drug addiction probably brought about by the fact that she was a vulnerable person. Regardless of the persona she portrayed to the tabloids, who hounded her, probably further adding to her demise, she did not deserve to die whether she intended to or if it was something else.
I just think she deserves a bit more respect than some poeple are showing on here and on facebook etc.
put yourself in her family's shoes you sad, ignorant people.
RIP.

in any way i choose, as can you choose how you quantify her output.
i'm no more an arbiter of correct opinion than you.

it's not good or bad, just mediocre. that's my opinion. i'm sure yours is equally as valid.

pick whatever criteria you like for your own opinion, i'm happy with mine.
mediocre ? my arse.
no doubt it is, i have no interest of forming an opinion on that as that would require viewing documentary evidence.
Awful and tragic loss with a sad inevitably about it all. How terrible must her parents feel?
waste of a good talent
