Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74597772 A voice and person too heavenly to last long in this filthy world. Rest in Peace, Karen. Regardless of whether or not you liked her music what happened to her and what she went through is sad and tragic. I wish she could of gotten the help she needed. Back then not as many people understood anorexia.

Like I said above, whether or not you liked her music one cannot deny her talent and how sad and tragic it was what she went through. Her death hit close to home for a lot of people and helped open up the conversation regarding anorexia. Just like Freddie Mercury, a voice like hers only comes around every so often - and the "often" is usually once in a blue moon....
