A call came in on one of the dead lines; I don't even know why this number was still on the phone.
When I answered, I immediately knew the voice, she didn't have to announce herself. She was, is, and will always be, a hot mess.
She was stranded at an airport across country because she missed her flight and wanted us to re-book her. The problem? She wasn't even on our label, not even a sister label. I had no idea what to do because it was so surreal answering the phone and hearing that voice. I kind of panicked and put her on speaker. My floor gathered around to hear her rambling, which was, for her, somewhat coherent. Eventually, word spread and basically the entire office was gathered around the phone listening to her plight. We finally found someone at her own label to take over the call. Again, we don't know how she got that number, why she couldn't just get on another flight herself, etc. I don't know why I was so shook, but I was kind of scared. Maybe for good reason...

Azalea Banks?

ReplyDeleteMaybe Foxy Brown? Lil Kim?
DeleteI don't think that Azalea Banks is scary enough to provoke that kind of response, maybe someone higher up the list.
ReplyDeleteCourtney Love?
ReplyDelete+1 I bet it is...great guess
DeleteWhy would they be scared if it was Azalea?

ReplyDeleteThis is someone known for their ''particular'' voice.
ReplyDeleteThis is someone with a particularly notable voice who is either super-scary herself, has scary "people" or who was suicided in some manner...
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Courtney as well. She would scare the shit out of me too
ReplyDeleteMaybe Remy Ma
ReplyDeleteYeah with Courtney I'd start having nightmares of being shot while I was unconscious.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Mariah but she probably has an entourage with her at all times.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Courtney Love. I can see her being stuck in a airport without any idea of what to do for herself.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Paula Abdul. But I'll switch over to Courtney...although I don't know that her voice is instantly recognized.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely Courtney Love because the last part about the person being scared and with good reason is hinting to her allegedly having Kurt offed. (I personally don't believe she did that but many out there do.)
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me is her own father thinks she did. Makes you wonder.....
DeleteLIZA
ReplyDeleteShe was my first thought. Or Barbra Streisand.
DeleteMy first thought was
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for a rogue member of this crowd to send in a reader blind that just goes off rails.
Preferably krab or Angela
Hahahahaha Oh dear Jesus please yes
DON'T TEMPT ME
ReplyDeleteCourtney Love
ReplyDeletewhy would Courtney be calling a music label?
ReplyDeleteI don't have any guesses.
@KRAB, consider yourself tempted. Now show us what do you have!
ReplyDeleteHot Mess + Being Scared for a Good Reason = Courtney Love
ReplyDelete@americanpanda - you're joking, right?
ReplyDeleteI'd assume she'd call looking for someone else talented to murde uh marry for good songs to use?
ReplyDeleteThank you whoever has contributed these fun blinds! This screams Courtney Love in one of her manic-like, off-kilter moments to me...raspy-voiced, random rambling in a fubar moment (assuming one record label would get her to another) whilst describing a fubar situation...relying upon her celebrity, sheer loud willpower, and the kindness of strangers to help her land in a soft place.
ReplyDelete@Lucy - yes, lol
ReplyDeleteIf you have had people do everything for you long enough, I imagine it literally wouldn't occur to you you could do it yourself... and if you're in a mania, or high, or drunk it's even less likely to occur to you. I maintain this is the real reason why so many celebrities end up in 'hot mess' territory...
ReplyDeleteTake Tori Spelling: If she would simply get her real estate license she'd be making more money than she'll ever get from sponsorships... but it would never occur to her that another career field exists than "entertainer". Sigh.
Bec-- but that makes sense, and stuff
ReplyDeleteLohan?
ReplyDeleteAmy Winehouse? Hot mess, distinct cockney accent...
ReplyDeleteGetting a phone call from Amy Winehouse would absolutely terrify me.
ReplyDeleteCarrie Fisher. Her last flight she had an "event" and emergency personnel were called on board upon the landing.
ReplyDeleteCarrie Fisher never signed with any labels that I know of
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Madonna with her awful "British" accent. Besides this, she comes across as arrogant enough to think anyone would jump when she called whether it was her label or not.
ReplyDeleteKesha
ReplyDeleteAlso...Carrie Fisher died in 2016.
ReplyDeleteDistinctive voice, rambling blather, called the wrong label...
ReplyDeleteCourtney Love
Paula Abdul
Whitney Houston (since there was no time frame for the call)
Joan Jett
Amy Winehouse (again, no time frame given in the blind)
It's obvious it's Courtney Love.
ReplyDeleteI thought Liza Minnelli - very distinctive voice and has some distinctive vices too...god love her
ReplyDeleteDidn’t Lily Allen recently get stranded at the airport? She had no money and no bank cards and couldn’t get to Brazil?
ReplyDeletecourtney is who i thought of but does she make music anymore,
ReplyDelete
