Whitney Houston

This is why it's so annoying that everyone acts like it's a tragedy.

People ruining themselves is always tragic, whether it is drugs or not. Only a psychopath would think otherwise.

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

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?

[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.

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.

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 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.

Yea I've been seeing that trash too. As if drug companies had anything to do with her addiction----- , 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.

And I wonder how many of those comments were made by 17-25 year olds on Adderall?

No surprises on the coroner's report.
