Daily Boom 80's Throwback: Martika - 'Toy Soldiers'

"It's getting hard to wake up in the morning

My head is spinning constantly

How can it be?

How could I be so blind to this addiction?

If I don't stop, the next one's gonna be me

Only emptiness remains

It replaces all, all the pain"

Sometimes a song seems to arrive at just the right point in time. When Martinka's "Toy Soldiers" was released it seemed to find success literally overnight. While the song was originally written to address drugs and their devastating impact on a close friend, it didn't only strike a chord in that way. The lyrics remind you how fragile we all are and it was and still is relatable to each and every one of us.

The late 80's were loaded down with female ballads and so if you were going to release one then you really needed to bring something unique to the table. "Toy Soldiers" did just that and it really helped Martika to stand out from the Debbie Gibson's and the Tiffany's that seemed to rule the charts. Check it out below!

D.A. Actively Seeking to Charge Nick Gordon With Manslaughter in Bobbi Kristina's Death

It has been widely reported ever since Bobbi Kristina Brown was found submerged in her bathtub, that her boyfriend, Nick Gordon would ultimately be found to blame. Her initial autopsy was completed earlier this week, with no obvious cause of death being found just yet but prosecutors are still seeking to piece together a case against Gordon. At the very least it is now believed that the D.A. is pushing for a manslaughter charge to be filed.

How is that possible at this point in time? Well, Gordon has said from the start that he and Brown did drugs together on the morning that she was found nearly drowned and there is a witness, good friend Max Lomas. He is currently charged with two felonies in an unrelated case in Georgia and prosecutors are hoping that if they sweeten his deal then Lomas will roll on Gordon. The chance of Lomas deciding to save himself is pretty good and as I've told you before, Gordon has already hired Casey Anthony's legal team to get him through this mess.

Gordon is still with his mother in Florida and reportedly banned from Brown's funeral. He did raise eyebrows earlier today by wearing her engagement ring on a chain around his neck. Do you think that he is going to ultimately be facing charges in connection with BK's death?  Is he actually an innocent man that is being treated like a criminal?

Hearse Seen Leaving Hospice Facility Under Heavy Security, Has Bobbi Kristina Died?

After spending nearly six months in a vegetative state it looks like the sad end might finally be near for Bobbi Kristina Brown. Bobby Brown's 22-year-old-daughter has never regained consciousness after being found in a tub of water on January 31st and the family recently decided to transfer her to hospice where she can die in peace. Yesterday Brown's condition appeared to possibly take a turn for the worse when a white tent was constructed to block the back door of the hospice facility. Shortly thereafter a hearse was seen backing into the secluded area leading many to think that Brown may have finally passed.

This medical crisis has been extremely sad right from the start with various members of both the Brown and Houston families alleging that Brown's boyfriend, Nick Gordon was responsible for her condition. Gordon eventually checked himself into rehab and completed an intensive program. He has relocated to Florida but remains under investigation because Brown had been beaten before she was found in her bathtub. Her estate has also filed a $10 million suit against Gordon alleging all sorts of physical abuse and also they claim that he has stolen from Brown while she lay comatose for months.

Once Brown's family finally came to terms with the fact that she can't possibly recover and decided to let her go there was renewed interest in the criminal investigation because once she does die then murder charges are a possibility. The question is whether or not the Atlanta police have pieced together enough to formally charge Gordon with anything substantial. He recently hired Casey Anthony's attorney to help him wade through the mess so it seems that Gordon is expecting to be hit with something heavy duty.

Do you think that Brown has already died and the family is just waiting to announce it? Tell us your thoughts on this sad situation in the comments below!
