Michael and Whitney is money worth more than life?

Don't cha think that it is weird that rumors about MJ is having money woes and soon dies...?

Whitney had the same rumors flying around on the internet and on prince.org and soon she is dead.

Right after their deaths, their catalogs (music) is going off like bombs in Iraq or like crack in hood.
What a trip. neutral
el_callejero please don't shoot me, I am not that piano player Elton John! sad

There must be a reason why...
I don't know.

These days I think it's unusual to picture the creditors saying : The money or your lives!

I'm sure both artists' creditors are no longer upset about their financial situations.

They both were surrounded by rumours for years, not just now.

And Prince is still alive....didn't they declare he was broke years ago.

I never really believe those rumours with artist like them. There is so much money comming in from their old records and they don't have to do anything for it.

Artists like TLC or Toni Braxton, who really went broke, didn't sell millions of albums like whitney or Michael did.

Prince as an artist wasn't mentioned in that thread.Usually artist that write their own music always have money coming in. If they don't sell their publishing rights. That is why Babyface & Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis have never had financial woes. Whitney won't reap the benefits of her mega sells because she didn't write any of her songs. MJ did. Artist now are realizing that and are trying to get writer credit even if they didn't really write their songs(Beyonce).

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

nod it's very important for artists to write,or co-write,at least some of their songs.If Toni Braxton had done this,she may have avoided some of her financial problems.

If I'm not mistaken I think Toni did write some songs on her "Secrets" album..

Financial woes didn't harm them. Addiction/drug abuse did.

Treu!! And isn´t it strange that the "bad" boy& girl from the 80´s-Prince & Madonna- are still alive, doing tours and that the 2 sweethearts, "good" boy & girl who everyone loved are dead. NOBODY would have believed this in the 80´s!!!! Strange!!
