Yeah I literally just read that as a headline on MSN and couldnt believe it either.
Sad and what a tragic waste of an incredible gift. She was on top of the world met Bobby Brown and then it was a fast track to an ugly ending... sad.
Jill - I just heard the news, shocking news. Very sad, she is phenomenal talent. We will miss her
Yet another candle extinguished way too soon. As they say, A Star that burns twice as bright burns half as long. And she shined brighter than many and left sooner than most.
May she finally find peace and comfort in the arms of our Lord.
Yes, what an incredible vocal range she had. Too young, so sad, but unfortunately on the path of self destruction.
Wow,
It's always a shock when someone of fame and fortune passes and yet the lives that are closet can only wonder why?
No matter what her issues were, I wish her love and peace beyond us!Rest in peace, Whitney Houston.
Love and light,
Laura
I "grew up"with Whitney. Her song, "I Wanna Dance with Someone" kept me going till I found my life partner. I actually started to cry as I watched that video.
Also had the opportunity to see her in concert once...from THE FRONT ROW!
To many great ones at to early an age. Fame and fortune are not all they are cracked up to be, and many, many of these celebs lead tough lives despite all their money, trying to hide from the world or deal with what the world expects from them.
And they don't always succeed.
May she rest in peace.
Lisa~It's a pretty big wake up call as to how precious and short life can be. She deserved to pull herself out of this and I think many people desperately wanted her to.
Thank you, Lisa, you were the first one who informed me of this tragedy.
I'm saddened. She was divorced from Bobby Brown for a number of years, unfair to say he was still influencing her, and we assume he was or did which may / may not be true. Either way, she was getting better and on track in 2009. This is how powerful addictions are. Quite sad. I feel badly for her young daughter. It must be a tragic upset for her right now.
She was really talented and had it all. So much for having success alone.
Jill, what a shame only a year or so older than me and I can say "Not ready to go! I've got a lot of life left to live". She was so talented and too bad she couldn't get her life back on track.
Sad isn't it Jill? I used to play her music all the time in my former career - it's heart breaking news. The Grammys are tonight - I'm sure they're rewriting ...
Jill, I heard this on the news last night. I sat up like a bolt of lightening in total disbelief. It's so sad that anyone so talented and successful could not find happiness.
she was same age as my husband... hard to believe she is gone.. she had one of the best voices ever.
Jill, when I heard that Saturday night, I, too, was shocked. She was an extraordinary talent gone too soon.
Jill - I thought it was a sick prank at first ..... such a loss to the music world and her fans ..... Watching the Grammys tribute I was touched by the number of people in the music industry that had passed away in the last year.
