I agree... all these people are saying that she was one if "the greatest"... Sorry... She was good...  but great?

She always sounded high to me... slurring her words.. etc... Style?  maybe so... But considering what has happened...

Unfortunately, most will remember her for this performance:

Shame....

Yep. She had a gift, and a look.


I have to confess that I didn't 'get' it about her at all. She could sing on key without a doubt, but her voice was so mannered and affected that I couldn't make out a single word she was singing, and that was even when she was relatively clean.  

It's sad someone that young dies, but really it was all her own doing. My sympathies are somewhat restrained.
