RIP Whitney Houston
 
I was stunned to hear that Whitney Houston died today. What a loss of a great voice! Whether a direct cause or an aftereffect of her drug usage, I have no doubt it had to have played a major role in her death. Regardless, her soaring voice will be missed. May she find peace.

Agree,,, very sad. Only 48 and a great voice has been quieted. RIP Whitney, finally!!

skyguy79 02-11-2012 09:13 PM

I agree with both of you! A tragic death to a great talent. As with Karen Carpenter, the world will never know what great music could have been and never will! Sad!

This is the first I've heard --- oh my goodness. What a voice. What a loss. I was a huge fan of hers. RIP. Heaven has another angel in it's choir tonight.

Just shocked to hear about Whitney. I knew Bobby Brown was no good for her. She will be greatly missed":(

I posted this morning that today was a terrible day, with the horrible accident and loss for the community for the young men from Cane Garden; the burying of the beautiful children in Washington State whose dad's ended their life (Josh Powell) and the ending the day with the loss of such a talent and staff, a class act. Why all today I ask?

Jane God will answer in his time. What a shock

A troubled soul who had to battle her inner demons for so long. Her singing of The Star Spangled Banner at the Superbowl was the best rendition I have ever heard. Rest in Peace.

One of my favorite singers. So sad!

"I Will Always Love You" (biggest selling single song of all time) ranks right up there, too.

What a voice !!

Very sad. A great voice has been silenced.

It's ironic how one person can grow up with a clean life and then meet a person who dabbles in drugs and the clean person gets hooked and can't find the where-with-all to get clean again.

Her rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl has been recorded and will be remembered along with her other great songs.

RIP - Whitney

Makes me wonder what was missing in her life that made her choose Bobby Brown for a mate and drugs along the way. She was given a great voice at birth which she developed with hard work and training. All wasted on a bum and dope. I know her family must be heart broken.
