well if he was 10 when the album originally came out then its probably not the kind of music he was into back then. So it may have passed him by. Its quite an adult album.

I actually very much liked rehab, valerie and back to black when they came out I just never had the album so didn't hear songs that weren't released as singles.

"legend" is applied far too easily to the quick and the dead - similarly, "diva", "talented", "unique", etc, etc .....

:bored:

I have many disagreements with Zippy,(friendly ones), who you answered in the above post and I am not a great fan of Amy but I have to say when anything is written of real legends of music in the future,certainly, with no doubt whatsoever Amy Winehouse would have to included.

Well Michael jackson was scum in America before he died. The rest of the world still gave him support after the pedo accusations. Not his homeland.

Then when he died he was a national hero again and all the celebs came out to glorify him. But they never supported him when alive and his name was soiled.

But yeah, MJ dying was literally the only way his career was ever gonna take off again.

Yeah, I've already brought up that comparison ..... ;)

I have no doubt that had AW died of cancer she would have been beatified, too ..... :rolleyes:

Hardly anybody remembers Goody, of course, now ..... :bored:

Now pictures

Jade's influence still lives on. Now because of her many girls across the counrty are now getting compulsory (Though there is an option to opt out) cervical cancer jabs saving many lives in the process.

Callum 26-07-2011 06:20 PM

Everyone is making a big deal out of this photo because she's smiling

Saying she's there for publicity :rolleyes:

good point, Harry. As such, she's probably the most useful BB HM of all.

and Omah you still mention Jade all the time so ironic that you imply she's forgotten about. :whistle:

Compulsion is the only way - medical records indicate that the "Jade effect" didn't even last a year before the numbers of young females taking part in cervical cancer testing/prevention procedures was even lower than before .....

If Jade's death encouraged just one person to get checked and have their life saved then she did more good than any other HM.

youre really stretching

AFAIK, the last "Goody" threads I raised were on 28/29 March of this year so I hardly "still mention Jade all the time" ..... :nono:

Is the 'Jade Effect' still working?

Quote:

Although health professionals and media outlets alike praised the "Jade Goody effect" during her illness and in the months after her death, one year on, they fear it's fading as fast as it came on.

"It certainly did [have an effect] roundabout the time of her death, but it doesn't seem to have persisted," says Alison Baker, the president of the National Association of Cytology. "While it was in the public eye, it was massive."

The official statistics for the year following Goody's death will not be available until October, but Mr Music says anecdotal evidence shows that cervical screening is decreasing - and may even be returning to pre-Jade levels.

‘Jade Goody effect’ on cervical cancer awareness fading

August 15, 2010

Quote:

It’s less than 18 months since reality TV contestant Jade Goody died of cervical cancer, but already public health experts fear the impact on awareness might be tailing off.

The “Jade Goody effect” was credited with pushing up cervical screening rates by four per cent overall in Scotland between 2008 and 2009, and by six per cent in the lowest age group, among 20-24-year-olds.

Although the figures for 2010 have not yet been published, there are concerns that the increases might not be maintained – leaving more women at risk of contracting, and possibly dying from the disease.

Zippy 26-07-2011 07:22 PM

What a ridiculous point. Because the effect isnt lasting forever that somehow negates all the good it did for a good period of time?

give me strength

InOne 26-07-2011 07:24 PM

Wonder when the doc will be

joeysteele 26-07-2011 07:27 PM

Jade certainly was no Saint, then again who is though.
She did howver by her bravery and determination at the end make many aware of the dangers and a great many women did after learning of Jade's plight go and have themselves checked out.

Her sharing that very sad end time to her life has likely saved a lot of problems and also even lives of some women.
Her story also had Husbands and partners being made aware of the dangers and talking it through with their wives etc as to at least just being checked over.
A good legacy on that issue,I would say she left there.

Back to Amy though, I hope people who did admire her take on board also the dangers of excessive drink and drugs.Lessons to be learned for lots of people from both these early deaths of Jade and Amy.

Shaun 26-07-2011 07:29 PM

I'm sure that was her primary motivation, and not the cheques and the fame she'd been living for before.

InOne 26-07-2011 07:31 PM

Jade isn't even in the same league as Amy at anything :nono:

Her primary motivation was leaving her sons decent money and security. Having watched somebody close suffer from cancer and face an imminent death I can assure you it sets their priorities straight in life.

Fame at that point of Jades life really wouldn't have meant much. Especially with the way she looked in her latter stages.

On this issue, I 100% agree with you Zippy.
