RIP my fair lady Whitney...Kool is probably the only one on this site that ever honored her by posting her music and songs so I definitely have genuine sorrow for her.

[benefactor]

Sucks. Such a shame that one of the greatest voices in music history fell so far.

RIP

[Giuseppe]

Media carried her, in association with Brown right to her grave.

[Kamala]

Damn. Truly a huge loss to the world of music.

Seems like only yesterday she was telling us how to vote.

Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston- two of the most talented individuals of
their generation. Both gone way too soon.

[Spursfan092120]

Unfortunately, this is not unexpected. Sad..depressing...yes. But not unexpected. :(

[DMC]

Back in the mid 90's I saw Blackstreet, but they were opening for New Edition (didn't care to see them tbh), but Bobby was in jail somewhere that night so he couldn't make it, and I couldn't help but wonder what the fuck a pretty young talented girl like Whitney saw in that strung out bastard. Now she's gone and he's still alive. What a fucking travesty.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I met her back in 2002 when I worked the front desk of the Mandarin Oriental in Miami. She was hurt then, too. Twice during her stay she slipped by her handlers and scored crack on the street. We were ordered not to make eye contact (with most any famous guest), but especially her.

RIP...I hope there's a rock in heaven.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? Did you know that, Christie?

It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity.
Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves.

Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album.

All three did it to themselves too.

It was time for Jacko to be euthanized...his best days were behind him and now the children are safe. As for AW.........whatever, not like we lost an etta james there.

[Sportcamper]

On "The Preachers Wife" Director Penny Marshal would yell out “CUT” before some of the songs were finished claiming we don’t need the entire song…Whitney would finish every song & fire back, sorry you just can not CUT The Holy Spirit…Penny learned to shut up…

[DeadlyDynasty]

Too bad the holy spirit had a crack addiction

Crack is whack!


"She idolized Whitney," a source told the magazine, and "wanted to be just like her mother."

One way she was unlike her mother: She didn't do drugs.

After The National Enquirer published photographs last May that appeared to show the 18-year-old snorting cocaine, her father Bobby Brown told ABC News Now, "I don't know anything about that. My daughter, she doesn't, she doesn't do that."

Bobbi Kristina also defended herself on Twitter a day after the photos came out, saying she was "set up" by a money-hungry ex-boyfriend because of "a horrible relationship that went sour."

"It's really not what it looks like," she wrote.

Whitney was WAY more done than Jacko. He could have had a career again had he recovered from the drugs. Her voice was damaged beyond repair from poor vocal discipline in her early years. Some of the stuff she was doing that sounded amazing was really damaging her voice.

She was booed offstage a couple of years ago on her European tour for "sing talking" her songs. It was all she could do. Her voice was literally shredded. I think ultimately, she just couldn't go on. She had gone through her money for drugs, and knew she could never earn any more. That dreadful Euro tour was her last gasp as a performer. Everyone in the US knew she was done as a performer.

[mavsfan1000]

I'm not a fan of her music but R.I.P.

[The Reckoning]

celebrities who use their money unwisely don't get any pity from me.

rip random person who died today, who lacked talent but worked hard their entire life to a ripe old age, retired respectfully, had grandbabies running around and made a positive impact to everyone within that random person's life.

rip random person who contracted an incurable disease and fought it without self pity.

rip random kid who was in an accident and never lived past the age of 18.

the list goes on and on...

I concur. I enjoyed a couple of her songs but don't feel bad for her AT ALL. She ruined herself. Looks like I won't be watching the news for a few days because this is likely the only thing they'll be talking about, because here in America we care more about one dead idiot celebrity than 100 people dying in a single day on the other side of the world.

It's very sad he we try to empower ourselves by clinging to this one last opportunity to make a celebrity wrong and make ourselves right by passing judgement in somebody's moment of death. Don't let that last opportunity to tear down a celebrity and feel good about yourself slip away!

It's a little disturbing actually.

[JMarkJohns]

In 1989 how many people would have picked Whitney to go before any and all members of Guns-n-Roses?

She made a number of awful choices in her life. No point in glossing that over. The media can be relied on to do that. She'll be canonized St. Whitney by the end of the month.

She owes Media that. They carried her water since the shit started. Every time there was a scrap & dust up Media would muddy the waters, take the story, keep her safe. Same with the Florida courts. Every time she & Brown shit the bed down there they'd take her out of it and then laugh like Hell.

Cept Houston,,,they're all still laughin'.

I've never been a fan but it was hard not to notice her in her prime--The Voice, and stunningly beautiful. So sad those blessings couldn't overcome the chaos of her life. RIP.

htf do you feel sorry for a druggie? when so many opportunities to detox, yet continues to do drugs...

suddenly overnight a bunch of fake ass fans coming out of nowhere

[Monkey on J.T.'sback]

All types of people fall prey to the dark side of drugs..be it street or pharmacuetical the end result is often the same...but to not have feelings...human feeling about a persons death is sad..scarey if you really think about it...human compassion should not have any rules...

Have you ever touched any drugs? They're fun and addictive. Get off her back.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Wow. I'm watching Piers Morgan and a close friend of hers just revealed that the drug taking didn't start when she got mixed up with Bobby. and Chaka's pissed.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

This is true. Why was Chaka pissed? Basically... Bobby was someone that was on her level.

She was mad because no one was basically looking after Whitney like they should've taking into account that she was an addict. Chaka said that usually artists fly in a couple of days before a one off gig like that. Apparently Whitney showed up a whole week before and she went buck wild. Apparently she was pretty clean leading up to the Grammy's. Chaka is an addict herself and said her, Whitney and Bobby would get high together. She was also mad because that same party was in the hotel they found her in, which I didn't know. That's pretty messed up imho. Especially since it was Clive that was throwing it.

Yep, her stiff cold body and the party went on as scheduled. Clive said Whitney would have wanted it to.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Could just as easily put this in the "most annoying FB status" thread, but I was rolling my eyes a lot yesterday reading post after post after the reports that Whitney had Xanax in her system pissing and moaning about how prescription drug companies are the ones to blame and how do they get away with selling dangerous drugs with addictive side effects, etc. Look, you're never going to find me going to bat for these companies. There's a laundry list of things wrong with them. But these people didn't give a shit about that when they woke up on Saturday morning and if we're being honest they still don't. A celebrity died; one that they liked enough that they wish she had been better than to go out the way she did. Latching on to an excuse changes nothing.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

The party ended and her body was still there. Oh, and Chaka said that Whitney was one that would say "hold up" to everything if something drastic happened. <shrugs>

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I haven't heard or read any of this, but I know it sounds like the truth. Chaka used to date a music producer I know... Doug Rashid. I met her some years back. She kept a nice stash of Kush, and was known to party. Using hard core drugs is damn there expected in those circles.

Check out her segment on Piers's website. I didn't know she was still there but it made sense. Heard she was taken out of the hotel around 5 or so.

Yeah. I knew she was an addict but I thought it was booze and pot. Ive seen some concerts of hers and she looks high like a kite but she was somewhat functional. She's lost quite a bit of weight too. I was surprised and happy to hear that she's 7 years sober.

[Kori Ellis]

I had always read that she was in/out of rehab before she even met Bobby...so it's crazy that people are always blaming him. I guess it can't be the pretty woman's fault. :lol

It's sad for her daughter, family and friends. But when someone gets a million opportunities to "get sober" and still chooses to party, then there's not much anyone else can do for them.

Get over yourself. You have full power within you to not care and ignore it if that's how you really feel.

[resistanze]

Bobby was the perfect scapegoat. When she ran in the circles of Magic and Eddie Murphy it was all hush hush.

I've heard all this too. You think a good churchgirl just happens to cross paths with Bobby Brown? :lol

[resistanze]

Yeah, but she obviously had serious issues, and it's sad for the people around her that it was her downfall. That shouldn't change whether she's famous/not, rich/not, etc. Just because we lived in a weird society obsessed with the celebrity doesn't mean you need to go out of your way to scoff someone's death because it's all over TV.

[tlongII]

It's just an incredibly sad story imo. She was beautiful and had an unbelievable singing voice. Just tragic.

You know things suck when artists/musicians of our generation start dying young.

Yea I've been seeing that trash too. As if drug companies had anything to do with her addiction-----hell, that poor woman would have been scraping up grime off the bus station floor if it would have gotten her high!

There's going to be a huge line outside of Whitney's funeral next week, which is coincidentally what killed her.
