    At her peak she was a beautiful woman with an amazing voice.

    This was the best national anthem I’ve ever heard

    That's to bad. I really enjoyed her singing back in the day and always hoped she would get it back together.

    I was and will remain a big Whitney fan. Her voice was just one of a kind. I really loved her work. She just got all screwed up with drugs, Bobby and life I guess. She had it all and pissed it away at 48 or 49 whatever she is. Fantastic entertainer and performer. It makes me sad to see someone with so much... just piss it away.

    Have they released a cause of death yet? Sad, as most of her adult life has been such a mess.

    As of now no. They are keeping it pretty quiet. It will come out at sometime I would think. I have guesses but I am not going to speculate publically.

    Yep what a shame. One of a kind talent and got sidetracked somewhere along the road and never got back on the right track. Too bad.

    She did have an awesome voice. It's a shame that drugs ruined her life, she made a statement back saying that she is her own demon.... And Bobbi brown should just off himself, huge POS!

    Unfortunately, can anyone say that it wasn't expected? She's added to the list of people who had the world by the tail and let it get away.

    I say that all the time from singers, actors, and athletes that indulge in drugs and illicit activities and those that seek excitement....several years ago on a CBS investigative Show can't remember the name. while Clinton was President during the .Com days there was a Millionaire commented suicide.

    He had just made an additional $10 Million Dollars in a Silicone Valley deal..He went out bought a brand new Ferrari parked in his garage then hung himself with a note paper clip to his shirt stating "Just Bored".

    Whatever caused this woman's death it was probably due to untimely decisions or something basically her time. That's why I thank God each day I can see the sunshine for every cold breeze, every bee sting...that I can enjoy life on this planet just one more hour, minute or day. This life is purely a blessing.

    and to be on this blog with people that share some of the same basic ideals.

    May she find the peace that she so desperately sought in heaven that she couldn't on this earth.

    RIP Whitney :(

    Guess it's true that death comes in three's....Etta James, Don Cornelius, and now Whitney Houston. Didn't realize Bobby Brown was involved with two other peoples' demises. I'll have to look that up.

    While I agree with your message Tony, I really think you presented it in bad taste. Whitney Houston isn't to blame for that so why try to divert attention away people paying her condolences?
