*Sigh* I don't understand. Wealthy people like her decide to follow the path of alcohol and drugs. If I had the money she had, I would enjoy life way better.
Surely there are a lot of unwealthy (and unfamous) people that choose that path as well..

Trust me, Careers like that come with alot of stress, pressure and so on. Sometimes people choose to cope with it like that.
If you had the money she had you'd have a bunch of fakes following you around for a cut of the cash or the fame.

I understand that, but still...

Who said I would tell everybody that I was full of money?

I would keep discrete, but without exaggerating in the spendings either.

I don't think alcohol abuse and drug-taking can be justified by 'being stressed'. Many people get stressed, but they find other, more responsible ways of dealing with it.

Shame to hear of her death in any case. The music industry has once again suffered a blow (not that I particularly liked her music).

I've never heard of Whitney before now, but any death is a death that should be mourned.

What the fuck are you talking about ? Her albums will sell like hot cakes and they'll probably make a movie or a video game about her.

Quite clearly, you're thinking in terms of economy alone.

I disagree. In my opinion, sales figures do not entirely define how skilled and successful an artist's musical talent is. There are other factors, such as originality and innovativeness.

? I never claimed that. I'm only saying that the music industry is all about business, I'm not talking about artists.

That's exactly why I booned you. Even Bin Laden shall be mourned, because whatever he has done he was a human being nonetheless. Even when it comes to "monsters" like him, being pleased by someone's death is perversion. Whether he deserved or not to live has nothing to do with that.

Osama bin Laden was a monster. He deserved a punishment three thousand times worse than the one he received.
