Sad news. I was in my teens when she first broke on to the airwaves back in the 80s and so even though I wasn't a big fan, her voice evokes many memories of fun times.
48 is no age to go. I wish she could have received the help she so obviously needed to beat her addictions.

Very sad news, indeed.
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try.

Tragic!
I remember seeing Whitney Houston open up for Jeffrey Osborne at The Greek in LA. I think it was in the mid-to-late '80s, before she became famous. She was AWESOME.
Very sad.

This Bitter Earth
By Dinah Washington
This bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
That hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
This bitter Earth
Can it be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon your old
But while a voice
Within me cries
I'm sure someone
May answer my call
And this bitter earth
May not be so bitter after all
Rest in peace Whitney.

All that talent. What a waste.
I hope she finds the peace in death that she never seemed to be able to find in life.

Alot of these singers, actors etc, get so caught up in the fame or with the wrong people that they end up in the wrong crowd telling them what they want to hear or they may just be so insecure that they want to 'fit in' and end up with the whole drug culture and end up like her.

Whitney was from the area that I went to college (the Oranges) in NJ. She had some local hits before breaking big beyond the NY metro area and the rumor on her was that she was gay or bi. She'd been spotted on campus a few times hanging out with woman who were out and proud. Personally, I don't care what people do it's none of my business, but if she was denying who she really was (like it's been rumored about Michael Jackson) perhaps this is what caused her so much pain? We've all heard the stories about her $50,000+ dental work (drugs had rotted her teeth out) and the pictures of her expensive home's interior looking like a crack house....to have such an awesome gift and let it go to waste...it's actually irritating.
Initially when watching the grammys I was irritated by the Whitney fest, if all these people loved her so danged much then why did they just sit there and do nothing? In all fairness and from personal experience I can tell you...if someone doesn't WANT to change, they won't. It doesn't matter how much they lose or how low they sink...terrible

What's sad and extremely pathetic are the pics coming out of her daughter doing drugs. What a dumbarse!!! You would think she would have enough brains to figure out that drugs are bad. Ugly like her Daddy, stupid like her Mother. (yeah, I know, I'm not very warm and fuzzy)
