Trav Le Bleu Posted 24 July 2011 Posted 24 July 2011 I predict Back to Black at no. 1 this time next week.
Zingari Posted 24 July 2011 Posted 24 July 2011 Why is it when an artist/musician dies, people start becoming a fan when they never were before? I'm seeing loads of friends on Facebook "liking" her page now all of a sudden. It bewilders me that now she's dead why they didn't like her when she was still here. i only like her now cuz i've just realised how much she looked like a gippo ( both in the "before and after" druggy stages )

It always happens, when MJ died, all of a sudden I was surrounded by MJ's biggest fans everywhere. I guess it's "fashionable" to like someone when they die <_<

Michael Jackson was a prime example of this! Litster beat me <_<

It's no longer enough to simply say "oh dear, that's a shame". Media has foisted upon society the need to openly demonstrate grief to absurd degrees, hence the sadsacks placing bottles of vodka outside her flat. It reminds me of the Bill Hicks sketch about Jesus & crucifixes.
sdb Posted 24 July 2011 Posted 24 July 2011 when's their album comin out btw? as for Amy, RIP. hard to know what to say really. talented, but she asked for it and it's no surprise. thoughts to family and (the less guilty) friends.

Strokes Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 And tobacco Do all people who lead less than a perfect live deserve to die Think how much the nhs would save if we simply shot fatties with heart disease, smokers with cancer, people with melamoma who hadn't used the proper SPF etc I'd vote for that.

MC Prussian Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 She was just so much more natural, bubbly and humourous at age 20 - cut to a couple of years later...

I did some good aggressive bell ringing as I ploughed through people standing in the road. 'KOKOPOPS DON'T STOP FOR NO MAN!

It reminds me of the Bill Hicks sketch about Jesus & crucifixes. Seems a bit inappropriate given she was a raving alcoholic. Why not just empty the sharps bin from St. Guy's on her front lawn and have done with it?
I am Rod Hull Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 I have to cycle past her house every day on the way to work. I swear today it's added about ten minutes onto my commute. I did some good aggressive bell ringing as I ploughed through people standing in the road. 'KOKOPOPS DON'T STOP FOR NO MAN! That image fills me with the desire to watch "DEATH RACE 200" again..
The Doctor Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 Seems a bit inappropriate given she was a raving alcoholic. Why not just empty the sharps bin from St. Guy's on her front lawn and have done with it? given the pictures on beeb news earlier showed lighters & needles next to the bottles of vodka, I'd say they've already started on that.
broughtonblue Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 'people placing bottles of vodka outside her flat' bloody wish I lived nearby!

Alexikokopops Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 'people placing bottles of vodka outside her flat' bloody wish I lived nearby! I live about five minutes bike ride (or 15 minutes walk) away. When I mentioned about the vodka the first thing he mentioned was a trip down there Kokopops, the cycling 1%er.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 It's no longer enough to simply say "oh dear, that's a shame". What I don't get is why sales of her music have gone up. I find it exciting and bizarre that there is a group of people that didn't buy her records when she was number one in the charts, or when she won loads of awards, or when they were being played on the radio ALL THE TIME, or when she was in all the shit newspapers all the time, but when she's found dead they suddenly go, I know, I'll go down Tesco and get 'Back to Black'. Mind you, when Bernard Matthews died I ate so many Turkey Twizzlers I needed to have a heart bypass, and when Rod Hull got killed I watched the Pink Windmill Show until my eyes bled and I didn't even know who he was, so who am I to slag these people off
Bellend Sebastian Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 That quote went well. I cannot be arsed to change it
Guest MattP Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 Wait until Elton John gets involved with Candle under the spoon....
iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 No matter what your opinion, why on earth are people comparing Norway & Amy Winehouse. Completely different situations.
cambridgefox Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 'people placing bottles of vodka outside her flat' bloody wish I lived nearby! I would have filled it with water before leaving it!
samjohnson Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 The Funeral is tomorrow. You cant spell funeral without "fun"!
Bellend Sebastian Posted 25 July 2011 Posted 25 July 2011 Wait until Elton John gets involved with Candle under the spoon.... I'm still waiting for his Jade Goody tribute record
