Wow.. she has been performing music longer than I've been alive. Another pop legend leaves us. Died at age 48... RIP

Say no to drugs!

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

And somehow it was world news interrupting TV and all, I really thought someone had been shot or Iran made good on a threat.

Sad, but I can't think of anyone who's tried harder to kill themselves over the years than Whitney. Hope she finds peace now.

Amy Winehouse ;)

Damn, you got me there. :D

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Very sad indeed..

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

RIP, such a tragedy over the years.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Bobby Brown :sl + Cocaine = death?

Who knew? :sh

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

What a waste of God given talent. Hope she found the peace she was missing all these years.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

R.I.P!

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

May God give she peace...RIP

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Drugs are a mother!

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

It's a shame. In her prime she could do AMAZING things with her voice. Hope she has finally found peace.

Powdered Sugar kills... Why do all these super talented celebrities get hooked on this stuff?

Amen brother

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

R.I.P. Whitney. She set the standard by which I judge all other performances of the National Anthem. A true diva.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Wonder what this does to the movie she was making...It is sad. She will be missed
I also wonder if they'll seal the autopsy report like elvis...
Some of the guys at work found it interesting to find this out about the death while in treatment.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Whitney was similar to Michael Jackson. Very easy to pick on, but I think the jokes need to take a break for a week or so out of respect. Not that any real disrespect has been done in this thread, but I've seen it already in other places.

RIP Whitney. I Will Always Love You helped me win a few "womanless beauty pageants" in high school.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

R.I.P. Ms. Houston.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree on both. First of all, she never came close to Michael Jackson who made much more of an impact on global pop music than Whitney.

And the respect part, if only Whitney respected herself, her skills and her career more we wouldn't have this discussion right now.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

So Sad. RIP, Whitney.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

R.I.P. Whitney Houston...one of the most beauitful voices of our era.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

I don't see how people on the news keep comparing her to Michael Jackson. Yes she came from same music era and legend but dang her self battles were a little different. I'd almost compare her to Elvis who died 6 years younger and was much of a positive icon and influence to singers today and most her younger songs were ways she dealt with self pain.
I also wonder how far this movie that was suppose to be released in August was, and if its still going to be released and how much now it brings in.

:tpd:

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

RIP

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Keith Moon, John Bonham, Corey Haim, River Phoenix, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Hank Williams, Sr, Jim Belushi, Chris Farley, Janis Joplin...

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Kurt Cobain didn't slowly kill himself over the years...just sayin'

RIP Whitney

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

well, he tried, failed and then chose a quicker way

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

I was never really a fan of Whitney in any such way and I won't stipulate on any cause of death....I will just simply say R.I.P Whitney. It is sad to see people who have it all end life so suddenly....

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Just goes to show yah, one Turd ( Bobby Brown ) in her life and down she went....Maybe he should be charged.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

A gorgeous woman with amazing talent and a tortured mind.
May she find that peace in God.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

RIP Whitney.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

RIP.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Correction. She almost had it all... Sorry, couldn't help myself.:D

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

I think Jim will be saddened to hear this. ;)

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

I had heard the name before but didn't know who she was (yeah I know I am out of touch). I found a link to her singing the National Anthem before the Super Bowl... Wow!!! That was one pure voice.

May she rest in peace.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

He's definitely gonna be bumming.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Two ironies in this news. One is just a personal one, New Edition was in town last night with a
"we really need the money" reunion tour, so that was kind of weird. Bobby Brown decided an
hour before showtime that he would go on with the rest of the guys.

Secondly, how weird is it that Maya Rudolph is the next host of SNL either next weekend
or in the weeks to come shortly. She always PLAYED Whitney Houston in the past. This must
surely be her 9/11 moment for the show...Should she DO W.H. or not? Strange sitcho for sure.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

She hosts this week. My bet is that she may mention Houston, but won't play her.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Exactly. One small step could have picked her up and let her lead an incredible life. She had so much talent to make so many people happy.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

LOL...JOHN Belushi. Jim is alive and well. My faux pas.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

While you're no doubt spot on, I instead was going for the cheap laugh by referencing one of her songs...;s

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

Now THAT is up for debate.:D

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

I've read several unsubstantiated reports that her ingestion of prescription medication (Xanax was specifically mentioned) and booze either directly (died from overdose) or indirectly (overdose cause her to drown) led to her death. All I can do is look back and shake my head at the waste of such a God-given talent...

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

So sad. Its even sadder she was dating Ray J at the time.

Re: Whitney Houston RIP
 

I read that too. WTF is Ray J thinking... I guess he was getting his cougar on. RIP Ms. Houston.
