If you want to speak ill of the dead then kindly bugger off and start your own thread and do not hijack mine with your
negative comments ok.[/quote]

You should re-read my post. I did not "speak ill of the dead" but offered the thoughtful considerations of a knowledgable music lover. She made some great records, she also made some widely-loved but (in my opinion) not so great records that (see yesterdays thoughts by the likes of Waterman & Cowell, which focus on her influence on the likes of X-Factor and the warbling pop singers of the past 15/20 years who possess none of the soul Whitney had). Her fatal lifestyle choices were probably more influenced by the pressures of being heavily promoted as a whiter-than-white pop princess and put on this international pedestal as opposed to being a soul chanteuse like her mother Cissy, her Auntie Dionne or her Godmother Aretha - and the need to rebel against this schtick - than anything Bobby Brown did or did not do.

Chris Retro	Thought-provoking - and ultimately very respectful - article on Whitney here music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-the-presses/w...d-she-215035314.html
The Fat Controller	My apologies DJ. I was bang out of order.
andrew	Think before you speak DJ.
The Fat Controller	DJKZ wrote: Hi Chris I appreciate your reply and maybe I was a bit harsh but the point I was trying to make was create another thread for your assessment of her music. This was more of pro Whitney post. Not saying you can't express your opinion I just didn't want this post to descend into a let's slag off Whitney. So everyone has to love her. We are slipping into Diana hysteria here. Didn't like her either. Don't fucking tell me what to post or we'll fall out. Big time!
