Ladies and Gentlemen, a great tragedy is about to take place. It has been announced, though not formally, that a Musical is to be made based on the life and times of none other than our 'princess' Jade Goody. If this goes ahead (in the 4 month period 'they' are proposing), then I am more than certain that the creative team will be faced with endless criticism, rubbish reviews and a huge amount of debt at the end of it all. Not to mention some more rants from yours truly...
Ok, maybe I am being a big harsh and passing judgment too quickly, but seriously? Jade Goody: The Musical? Go on, say it out loud and hear for yourself how ridiculous it sounds. The thing that bothers me the most is that the people behind this abomination are not taking into account the person herself. They get off on the 'story' of it all, rather than the actual, personal events that took/ are taking place. It's the pound signs they are interested in, that's all. I feel sorry for her children and relatives having to suffer all this Bull.
I think it is great that the 'Jade story' has increased awareness of Cervical Cancer, of course, but I don't agree with the media attention behind one family's suffering. That's different. Can we not put her to rest now, please? And can we allow her family to get on with life now instead of awaiting the next book, documentary, stage show and, god forbid, film??
Maybe I am just bitter about the fact that another person is making a musical about Cancer. At least mine will be tasteful!
