Can the radio please stop playing "I Will Always Love You" and "Greatest Love of All" on a loop?

Who was the first one, True?

And have they released any of the details on the cause of death yet? Consensus here seems to be drugs so far.

Etta James?

If Gaga's next, I won't mourn.

As far as the released information has gone, it seems she was found with her head underwater in her hotel room bathtub, but she didn't drown since there wasn't enough water in her lungs. What they DID find her system, though, was a lot of prescription medication (Xanex, etc) and alcohol and no signs of criminal intent. They're not sure if it was suicide or if she just really had a problem.

yeah Etta James

Here's a reply on Whitney Houston

...

From ATLANTA



I think Nicki Minaj's performance on the Grammy's got more of a reaction.

OH another rant. CNN is ready for EVERY celeb's death out there just so you know. People were so SHOCKED to see that CNN had everything ready for when she died.

After taking a tour there you see that they get updates on EVERYTHING they put a tribute on BETA tape and leave it in a box after the manager leaves.

Oh right, Don Cornelius died the week before Whitney did too. Is that the three?

I dunno... I never really considered SOUL TRAIN that much of a big deal.

It was. Just not in our communities, I guess.

So "I Will Always Love You" has apparently been climbing the charts again and is the #1 download on iTunes. Kinda funny since Dolly Parton collects royalties for it.

Yeah, I'm sure they have watchdogs to sniff out the demise of a singer to instantly raise prices on her songs.

Yeah, that reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy happened didn't it.

Spoiler:
Can you prove the reason why they did it? No? Sorry Thex, but you can't call bogus on that one.

Nickel and diming.

That's pretty damn low. I hate how the media acts after every celebrity death. Like you guys said, it's like they just can't WAIT for it to happen so they can pull in ratings/sales and bullshittles.

With how well-publicised this was?

Wouldn't exactly take a lot of work.


Can you prove the reason why they did it?


Can you even suggest a feasible alternative reason?

Had it been someone less famous whose death wasn't made such a big deal, I'd be more willing to buy the "innocent fuckup" explanation. But we're not talking about some random indie band here.

Xeo I think the only LEGIT group who waits for celebrity deaths is CNN. That's it.

I mean come on CNN International has a tape on hold for Nelson Mandela's tribute.

Coincidence comes to mind?

How about Michael Jackson. I believe it took no less than a day to come out with discounts from just about every music publisher on the market.

Raising a price? I'm not going nor buying "Because Sony is a dick" argument.

E3- Ok, Michael Jackson was a bad idea. How about Ronnie James Dio? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Nnnnnnnnnnope!

Whether you're buying it or not, it's exactly what corporations do - their entire purpose is maximizing their profits through whatever means are necessary. Some of them pretend to be more morally upright about it, but it rarely holds up for long. Google likes to remind us of that periodically.

These companies made a big deal out of cutting prices after Michael Jackson's death in order to create a surge of demand. Being nice had nothing to do with it. And being a bunch of dicks (which Sony is, let's be honest here) has nothing to do with this - it's all about money.

Well, with your logic Thex. All companies are dicks. Not just sony.

So no. Sorry. I think you just have beef with Sony over videogames and you just dont want to admit it.
