Whitney

Whitney Houston is gone.  A huge talent, and a good woman.  How sad this makes me feel. I’ve lost a friend I love.

Very sad. Such a voice.

Sad. Crack is whack…

Her Star Spangled Banner still gives me chills, especially since everyone is butchering the anthem these days.

One of the sweetest voices ever to grace our time. What a shame. She had some serious drug addictions that may have been responsible for her demise.  :frowning:

Yesterday the tabloids were saying broke and in trouble basically. She’s gone…

the latest reports seem to indicate that her pre-performance ritual of Xanax and bath did her in.

basically Xanax and warm bath and going to sleep at the wrong time.

Man, that’s just sad and the damage her addictions did her voice was apparent during her comeback.

Rest in peace

Not a big fan, but she was way too young. Sad.

When will people learn that being famous is deadly?

you have to admit… one of the most powerful notes in a pop song… period.

I head that she was attacked by wasps. She was found under her car, wasp bitten to death. :-\ :-\

Absolutely!  :slight_smile:

no, no she wasn’t.

Gave me goosebumps. Memories. Some good, some bad.

Check your sources again my friend. She was found under her car, with her epi-pen just out of reach.

Whats this rude blather weezy?  Is that Idaho news?

Pretty sure she was found under water, not a car.

No, it’s true, I read it here :wink:

A candlelight vigil for Whitney

With her drop-dead looks and her little-girl charm
Everybody thought she’d go far
And at 20 years old she was rich as could be
And a world-famed Hollywood star.
With the big parts coming and the sweethearts, too,
Life was a hell of a ride
But her star soon fell and her body got old
So she took a lot of pills and died.

She took a lot of pills and died
She took a lot of pills and died
her star soon fell and her body got old
So she took a lot of pills and died.

While the traffic crawled by in the street outside
She was sitting in her kitchenette
Listening to the scuttle of the rats in the wall
And staring at her TV set.
She once might have been too proud to be found
in a hovel on the lower East Side
But nothing in the world seemed to matter much now
So she took a lot of pills and died.

Now she hasn’t been seen on the silver screen
And she never may be again
But every once in a while at the far end of the dial
You can see her how she was back then.
In a soft close-up, with her hair backlit,
She seemed to glow inside
Yeah, but something went wrong, 'cause forty years on
She took a lot of pills and died.
