RIP Whitney Houston

[pacharan]

What a shame ... Probably was an OD, but still a shame .....

**Sigh** I despair for music, in the next few decades, all decent artists are going to die and then what will we be left with? Retards like Lady Gaga and the like, proclaiming they make good music? Dang, that's tragic.

As usual, I find myself agreeing with everything you say Wim.

I only really hear present day music when I go to the gym and there is one particulate thing that seems quite common these days that really annoys me. The use of that Peter Frampton style voice box device that makes you voice go all warbly.

I'll have a pint of what you've been quaffing please.

these stars are dropping like flies.
Michael Jackson, that female coke-head in London, and now Whitney Houston.
Soon they'll be none left and you'll be left with my cleaner sh*gging exploits as your only source of entertainment..

Black single mum dies of drugs OD?

Is this really news

She was found underwater in the bath, if the rumour mill is correct. Was anyone with damp arms up to the elbows seen leaving the building?

On a point of order - that autotune thingy used by so many these days is a totally different thing to the talkbox effect Frampton used.

Her and Mariah Carey were responsible for that horrible warbley black soul music (very popular with chavy white kids,see x-factor) where rather than hit a note you simply go around it. She didn't deserve to die for that though, well not quite.

Ain't that the truth - it's flippin annoying and a waste of a good voice to boot.

Quite, I always thought it was the vocal equivilent of fret wank, technically proficient but lacking soul

Sony Music under fire after cost of greatest hits set on iTunes rises by more than 60% after singer's death

Sony Music has come under fire after it increased the price of a Whitney Houston album on Apple's iTunes Store hours after the singer was found dead.

The music giant is understood to have lifted the wholesale price of Houston's greatest hits album, The Ultimate Collection, at about 4am California time on Sunday. This meant that the iTunes retail price of the album automatically increased from £4.99 to £7.99.

Profiteering or what?
