cliaz Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I watched a couple of documentaries that changed my view of her. Some people's demons are just too strong to overcome. She was a very talented person with a unique voice. Hopefully she has found peace in death that she couldn't find in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Point taken; my point was that joking about or "around" it in general is IMO in poor taste, but to eeach their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerx Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I've heard her name being associated with being talented, but where is that coming from? I really don't hear any of her music... other than Rehab... which was, meh So I get that she might not have been a mainstream act, but I also never heard anyone saying, you gotta listen to this or that of hers. She just seemed like a waste period more than a waste of talent. I guess what I'm saying is that if she was that good, she would be a bigger name.

She won 5 grammy awards and sold millions of records. I'm not sure how one would consider her not mainstream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 addiction sucks. some people get angry when a rich person cant shake addiction. addiction doesnt discriminate. It controls the rich , it controls the poor. Nobody forces people to drink, do drugs, gamble etc but when a person cant do it in moderation and gets consumed , often people have no pity because it was their choice to get started in the first place. I wasnt familiar with her work. Its sad that the demons won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

untateve Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 999 times out of 1000, you show me someone dependent on alcohol/drugs, I'll show you someone who is experiencing intense and overwhelming emotional pain. Ask yourself this--how many happy addicts have you really met? Unfortunately, the individual comes to rely on alcohol/drugs to self-medicate their emotional pain. The individual typically has very poor coping strategies and deficient defenses and s/he simply has to escape that emotional pain. I can only imagine how severe that pain must be as I see individuals on a regular basis who have given up families, jobs, housing and freedom in an attempt to medicate their emotional pain. Some, sadly, go too far and die. I'm certainly not excusing their behavior but I am explaining it. The callous nature of some of you demonstrates a profound ignorance. At least I hope it's only ignorance and not simply stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
