Yeah, I'm with Asi on this. There's no need to turn someone's death into an opportunity for personal quarrels. She was a successful (even if some of us disagree on the talent question) musician, and it's a shame that she passed away (again, even if we acknowledge that a tremendous number of people die every day). Additionally, while I concede that I don't have much personal experience in the matter, addiction is a horrible thing which is difficult to escape and which many people enter without fully realizing the ramifications of their initial abuses, but it is something which is worth treatment by others and by oneself nonetheless.

If we're going to discuss the "talent" question, how about we couch it in more tangible terms? For instance, did anyone here have any CDs or other tracks on their playlist (outside of Rock Band tunes and such)? I didn't, myself, but I'm curious about how broad her fanbase actually was.
