WaitForLife 5,238 Posted June 11, 2017 It's sad when an artist dies but to make money out of it is disgusting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Cuomo 3,320 Posted June 11, 2017 Lol. So many dumb, simple-minded views on capitalism here. Why is celebrating someones life automatically wrong if there's money involved? That's just the basis of how things work. Amy, the film, received tons of praise and even won an Oscar. The 'selling of her image' did nothing to diminish it, the film was wonderfully done. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's just the basis of how things work. Amy, the film, received tons of praise and even won an Oscar. The 'selling of her image' did nothing to diminish it, the film was wonderfully done. I didn't said that there's a lot of good docs about an artist life (imo, Amy is a fucking great doc), what I've said is that a lot of ppl use the death of a lot of artist just to sell. Btw, by "dumb" and "simple-minded" you mean: views that you do not agree. It's not the same thing as being dumb and simple-minded. IMO, you're being really naive if you think that ppl do not do this things for money. You think that they respect the artist? Please gurl. Ppl called MJ a pedophile and called Amy a junkie and you really think that they're doing a fucking celebration of their lifes? The life that the same media who make the books, docs, etc... helped to destroy? The media bashed a lot of artists for a long time and then used their death to make money from it. "Why is celebrating someones life automatically wrong if there's money involved?" Well, i don't know about you, but I think it's extremely disrespectful to use someone's death just to make money. It's not celebrating someone's life, it's making profit from their death. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lanasdaddy 8 Posted June 11, 2017 There's a reason why people dont like Lana is bc she isn't a pop star, she's an artist. Theres a difference, pop stars are people who makes music for their fans, in a pop sounding way, mixing sounds from different genres in what's new and hot now. Where as Lana did the complete opposite. Lana got her sound from genres long dead, and made them work in her favor. Her sound was years in the works, and really didn't get recognition until she added a mainstream hip hop sound of 2011, while still remaining a very unique sound. It seems to me though, that Lana couldn't really fit anything mainstream so much, her voice isn't equipped for it bc she has a very vintage sound in her very own voice, not in the music. She's just a woman far from her time, and only those souls who have a connection towards that time, will fully feel and understand her soul, her music. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leave me alone you crank. Who are you to decide what's genuine or not? Anyone who writes a biography or creates a film is putting a shit load of their time and effort into that work, so to say it's not a 'genuine' effort, simply because the person it's about is deceased and they're making money from it, is retarded. You're too cynical for your own good. Right-wing extremist is a cute way to say Nazi/Fascist btw: loved your comment Fuck off, please. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if you're talking about those fucking big companies... then honey, i'm laughing really hard 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
