I liked lots of her songs, she wasn't an artiste I would choose to see live, but I could have been encouraged to have gone to a concert of hers.
A lot of her songs,especially listening to them now,have a deeper meaning to them because of the lyrics,it's almost like she was pouring out her feelings and thoughts into those lyrics.

I would guess this thread has a long life to it since there still a lot of questions to be answered as to her untimely death.Until we have those answers the only real facts we know are she had a drink problem, a drugs problem and that she has died at only 27.

The tribute thread has less posts because those who have made a tribute to her have done so and with little more than the one post it took to do that, this thread is a discussion thread and has many points thrown backwards and forwards as to the issues so will clearly have a great many more posts.

She divided opinion but she did have talent, there was likely more to come too,she clearly wasn't the hard case some thought she was, clearly from all reports she was really quite vulnerable.
It is sad she died at 27 but her music will live on, she wasn't my kind of singer or performer but some of her songs are really great and I hope in time that is her lasting memory for people,her music, not the very wild and traumatic build up,mostly self inflicted, to the end of her young life.

To be honest I doubt many folk care. She had some good songs but as an artist she was pretty crap. COuld do no media and no promo. Her concerts were awful and she chose vile men to couple up with.


Life moves on.
