legov Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Addiction is a disease right up to the point a cure is offered and not taken. Isn't that rejection a symptom of the disease? To a point. She had all the resources and all the reason any human being should need to get better and she didn't take it. "**** her" was perhaps a bit harsh and I'll retract that if I may but I have no sympathy for her. But it's still sad nonetheless, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 13, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2012 But it's still sad nonetheless, right? Honestly? No, not really. I can't pretend to care if I don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 But it's still sad nonetheless, right? Honestly? No, not really. I can't pretend to care if I don't really care. Sigh. I'm reminded of the day Michael Jackson died, one of my friends - a mere acquaintance, really - posted on facebook that he never considered Jackson talented and hence he couldn't be bothered. I'm not an MJ fan at all but FFS someone just died! I feel just a tinge of sadness because of her death, but only due to the fact that I'm a fellow human being, and not because I listen to her music (I don't).

BOF Posted February 13, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2012 I never said she's not talented. In a way, that makes me respect her less; that she saw fit to throw it all away. I didn't care about her when she was alive and I'm not going to pretend I care now even if the internet demands that everyone mourn absolutely every celebrity that dies as if we've just lost our first born.

GarethRDR Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I am sad she's dead, but only because as a result we're going to get her **** music rammed down our ears at every opportunity for the next 12 months. Also, I'm a heartless bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you in a constant state of ever increasing sadness one tinge at a time over the 150,000+ people it is estimated die each day, why would you feel any more sadness for the passing of someone you had no emotional tie to and only knew about due to celeb status than all those who die unknown to yourself? So I'm with BOF on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm with BOF on this one It's easy to forget about the huge numbers of people who die every day that's true, but whenever I happen to think about it (like now) I do feel a tinge - just a tinge mind, nowhere near depression - of sadness. And no, I won't mourn her or reminisce about her like the media will probably will but that doesn't mean I don't feel a slight degree of pity.

bickster Posted February 13, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think the only celeb/pop star whose death upset me in any way at all was John Lennon. I wish he was still alive too, three or four generations of people would have completely **** forgotten about that band. Mark Chapman has way too much to answer for.

I wish he was still alive too, three or four generations of people would have completely **** forgotten about that band. They really wouldn't you know. Because sooner or later they would have given in to the pressure to reform, and it would have been all over the media again. I agree that death is usually a good career move though.

bickster Posted February 13, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yeah and on that basis I hope Justin Bieber never ever dies. Alternatively you could hope he dies tomorrow, might as well get the Whitney / Beiber 12 months out of the ears at the same time. The bonus is you'll only get 50% of each.

My feelings on Lizzy the krauts little celebration should be obvious but the Dickens love in is also driving me nuts, Radio 4 seem to talk about that more than the olympics & Lizzie the kraut combined.

Bazdavies79 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 She murdered a delicately poignant and beautiful Dolly Parton record with an over produced over sang cover. She was also responsible for a few really annoying pop songs. Eight octaves but zero emotional depth in her voice, not my cup of tea at all.

Mark Chapman has way too much to answer for. not a chance true Lennon may have ended up pushing out bland music like McCartney has for the past 20 years but The Beatles would have still been massive now irrespective of Lennons death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
