notaguest 16 Posted July 24, 2011 I think there's a fundamental flaw in the way the Death List is made. Most of your 50 people are in their 80s and 90s. You're assuming that because they're old, they're going to die. But, if someone has got to 80, 85, 90 without drugging themselves to death or getting any of the real nasties, the cancers, the neurological stuff, they're probably going to go on for a while yet. You should have more of a mixture of the geriatric and the younger extreme lifestylers. I'm being wise after the event here obviously, but Amy Winehouse should have been in the list for the past five years. Doherty should be on the list. Back to Black was good, but she should have got a lot better. She had talent. Stupid waste. very good point.Please feel free to join the forum anytime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angryGreatness 96 Posted July 24, 2011 Worse part about this? ENDLESS. NEWS. COVERAGE. I'm predicting around 2 months in the news cycle. Wait till Thatcher or Mandela dies , you'll know all about it then! Here in the states? Mandela and Thatcher will get maybe a week of coverage. But a drug-addled pop singer will get coverage like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ylI_CEcNSU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ra Ra Rasputin 99 Posted July 24, 2011 Always a shame to see a young life wasted, irrespective of whether you like her music or not (which I didn't. In fairness I wouldn't know more than one of her songs if it bit me on the posterior). And seeing as I took her off my DDP list, I am very saddened by the news. Anyways, The Guardian are saying that "sources" are stating it was a drugs overdose. Not very surprising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Maurice19 Posted July 24, 2011 In retrospect I can't believe that I didn't have her on my list when she reached the "magic" age of 27. Major oversight. How long until Adele reaches 27 - perhaps she'll eat herself to death and take that turgid faux-soul with her. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... why am I laughing????

time 8,618 Posted July 24, 2011 22 DDP-ers, had her, including 2 jokers. TMIB (if it were he) hit the nail firmly on the head with her bio if the reports are to be believed... Young British singer/songwriter with a powerful soul voice, but - more interestingly from a DDP point of view - manic depression, eating disorders and a tendency to consume industrial quantities of booze and drugs. Indeed, her 2006 top 10 single 'Rehab' was about her refusal to get help for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may have been OoO or Rude Kid as she first entered the DDP in 2007... 22 is way down on 2010, when 64 teams chose her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted July 24, 2011 Only one UK newspaper makes her death the main story on their front page today (the ever reputable Daily Star). She has also fell out of the trending topics on Twitter both globally and in the UK after less than a day. That's gotta be a disappointment for her. Jacko stayed top of the TTs for something like three weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its only Amy Winehouse. Its not JFK, its not Martin Luther King, its not Elvis or Lennon or Jacko. Its not Princess Di or the Queen Mum. Its not Jim Morrison or Janis Joplin or Hendrix. Its not even the blonde haired bloke from Sweet. Its Amy Winehouse. Its like Kerry Katona or Katie Price being found dead for fucks sake. Now get a grip and stop posting crap every five minutes.
