There's some pictures of her from Friday night in which she looks very unwell and almost on the verge of collapsing.

same age as my mum :(

My own mother died at 47 (she would have been 55 this year) because of a hereditary kidney disease she suffered from for years. A very young age to die.

[Ostrinski]

Wonder how this happened.

[Sam_b]

She was Number One on the day I was born. Aside from that it's not like I really listened to her. That song from the Bodyguard is annoying.

[MotherCossack]

seriously though she was really big when i was a teenager.
she kind of didn't know when to stop... it is sad...
thing is i dont reckon i'd be any different if i had that kind of money...

[Искра]

I always expected that misogynist pig Bobby Brown to kick the bucket first. She was one of my sister's favorite artists. I never really cared for her myself, though. RIP, nontheless.

[brigadista]

so sad -RIP Whitney

[Sasha]

Wonder how this happened.

she was batteling addictions for a long time, as far as it now seems she overdosed on perscribtion medication and drowned in the bathtub of her hotel.

where is kevin kostner when you really need him :rolleyes: (too soon?)

[MotherCossack]

Too early, Kevin Costner isn't dead yet.

[Lanky Wanker]

I'm just sick of hearing everyone pretend they care about her. Facebook and Twitter (god, I fucking hate Twitter) get flooded with RIP comments/statuses, yet half these little knobends probably can't even name you 3 of her songs or tell you anything about her as a person. Not even a week ago the papers were giving Whitney her own wall of shame, selling her life struggles as a piece of cheap entertainment, but now she's loved worldwide because she can no longer breathe or open her eyes. Same shit as Michael Jackson, just a different name and face.


"Michael Jackson is a paedophile rapist drug addict! HAHAHA! :laugh:"
*NEWSFLASH: MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD*
"Nooooooooo! Poor Michael! You will be missed! :crying:"


"Look at this *****, getting high all the time with cuts all over her body. What a mess!"
*NEWSFLASH: WHITNEY HOUSTON IS DEAD*
"Nooooooooo! Poor Whitney! You will be missed! :crying:

[Zostrianos]

What's also sad is that her death sparked off a torrent of racist comments on the Fox website by conservative Amuricans:

[Ele'ill]

We all die.

[Prometeo liberado]

Is she still dead?

[Prometeo liberado]

Too early, Kevin Costner isn't dead yet.

Just his career is.

[GatesofLenin]

We can all joke about this but she was talented. :crying:

You have a very abrasive bedside manner....Dr Zaun.

( Worse, you might be a dentist.)

More loss than Steve Jobs though... At least she was a pretty black lady with a beautiful voice too... I liked her.

Diamanda Galas on Whitney Houston`s death


I mourn the death of Whitney Houston, whom I adored. Her incomparable voice, which influenced almost every R&B and pop singer worldwide, her stage presence, which no one can touch, and her beauty, tough and sweet, moved me. Whitney ... Whitney ... was put back onstage before she was ready to perform - by the colossal pig Clive Davis - who continued his party in the same hotel where she died and where her body still lay. Heresy.

Whitney should have been allowed to study for a minimum of two years with a voice therapist/teacher before even rehearsing, let alone performing, onstage. It is a gigantic jump to go from not performing to performing - and a much larger one to go from not performing and living a life without discipline, the leisure life, in particular, to performing.

What was she put onstage as? A lesson that "drugs kill"? "Hey wanna see a crack ho sing?" Courtesy of Clive Davis. "Wow, man, that will be some freaky shit, right?" "You bet, man."

Great. Now Mr. Davis will be able to package her death in frills and sell it big time - even during the nadir of record sales. (Sony and iTunes have already begun selling the back catalogue at exceedingly high prices, hours after her death, possibly minutes). And Clive and Sony will say, "Even though we do not hope to even break even with this uncompromising tribute to Whitney Houston, we feel, personally, that it is her due, as the foremost singer ever on our labels, and as lovely girl she always was to us." Etc, etc, puke puke puke.

Mr. Davis thought nothing of keeping her up onstage while she received humiliating reviews and she represented DOPEFIEND LOSER of THE WAR ON DRUGS. He probably said, "Ignore those jealous fools, dear; the more you sing, the more you'll begin to really sing." Pure entertainment for the folks that know better.

And the press will make more correlations between death days and birthdays and dead dopefiend performers and pour more gasoline on her body. Another party where she was close by but unreachable.

I feel deep sorrow for Whitney. I feel no sorrow for anyone else other than her family and those who still loved her.

And a deep loathing for those who ran her into the ground. Sure, one was Bobby Brown, but he is a common idiot.

The bigger picture?

Think a minute.
