Madonna seems quite sensible.

Winehouse - Dead at 27
Houston - Dead at 48
Joplin- Dead in 20's ?

Ozzy Osbourne - Still alive in what, his sixties ?

Conclusive proof that women can't handle their drugs.

Sony and Apple anger Whitney Houston fans over album price hike - Telegraph

Sony and Apple anger Whitney Houston fans over album price hike
Sony and Apple were heavily criticised on Monday after the cost of buying Whitney Houston's greatest hits album nearly doubled shortly after her death over the weekend.

They retuned it back to the original price latter, apparently because of a twitter pressure. Still aint used twitter myself.

Apparently Bobby Brown has now been discovered drowned in his bathtub too. A note next to him simply said "Two can play that game!"

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

Black single mum dies of drugs OD?
