Absolutely tragic what became of such a shining star of a woman. Whitney Houston was huge when I was a teenage girl and I sang her songs in the shower at the top of my lungs hoping to hit some crazy note like she could. It's so sad that drugs took her voice away from her and then her away from us. Rest In Peace.

I'm guessing it was probably an overdose or something related to drug abuse. Very tragic indeed but just goes to show that no amount of fame, money or talent makes one immortal. We all eventually come to the same end.

Rest in Peace Whitney...

And in other news, Iran continues it's nuclear program amidst international uproar, Syria continues to murder it's own people, and people the world over continue to lose more and more civil liberties.


Not a dig at you Kali, but at the MSM where this story will now dominate headlines. Personally, I couldn't give two hoot's. I know, I'm a bad person!

For all her past troubles, it took nothing away from her incredible talent & voice.

Sad to hear that she was spotted at a club only yesterday..to hear now that she's passed away.

I hope that no foul play was involved with her death.

RIP

I think it's forgivable for this to be breaking news, artists touch souls and she touched millions. I agree that the tabloids will run amok with this and that's gross. But now in the moment, it's appropriate in my mind.

I wonder if it had something to do with the at least a dozen pictures on the 'net earlier just yesterday that showed her leaving a night club totally smashed outta her gourd? The text along with the pics were brutal.

I still do. Some of her songs are the best. "I Will Always Love You"... What an amazing belting song! And "The Greatest Love of All"... So inspirational! What an amazing voice silenced... RIP Whitney and my heart goes out to her daughter, Bobbi...
