Title: Re: Whitney Houston R.I.P. Post by: Amy B. on February 11, 2012, 05:51:39 PM I just heard about this. Very sad. She was a real singing talent who lost her way.
Title: Re: Whitney Houston R.I.P. Post by: Awesoman on February 11, 2012, 06:03:35 PM Sad, but completely unsurprising. She had a wealth of talent that was snuffed out with drugs and a marriage to that dumbass Bobby Brown. I was never a fan but she had an amazing voice. Her rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" easily is the best.

Title: Re: Whitney Houston R.I.P. Post by: Chris Brown on February 11, 2012, 09:38:52 PM Very sad, what a waste of a truly incredible talent.
Title: Re: Whitney Houston R.I.P. Post by: Wirestone on February 11, 2012, 10:03:31 PM Very sad and unfortunate. A talent you had to respect, no matter your taste in music.
Any passing like this, in these circumstances, for a mother and and person, is to be mourned. Title: Re: Whitney Houston R.I.P. Post by: Alex on February 11, 2012, 11:37:07 PM Great voice, not so great songs, but way too young to die. Get ready to hear I Will Always Love You every time you turn on the radio for the next two weeks.

Title: Re: Whitney Houston R.I.P. Post by: Rocker on February 12, 2012, 04:44:06 AM Really sad but as Awesoman pointed out, it wasn't that surprising although it's been a while since I heard about problems she had. It's as surprising as Amy Winehouse's death. Of course all that takes nothing away from the tragedy it is.

I really feel for Clive Davis. He thought she was his daughter... she truly was this incredibly natural talent, and he did everything he could to help her, whenever he could. Now she dies three floors up from a party he's throwing that she's supposed to sing at, it's just really dark, dark stuff. Clive just learned, probably again because it's probably happened to him before, that if people you love have an addiction, no amount of logic, love, or money can save them from it no matter how hard you try. The only person who could have saved Whitney was Whitney. Second: One of my favorite pop icons is Hulk Hogan. He said on his twitter page earlier today that he met her twice in his life, and both times he met her, she was so beautiful that her energy just drew you in. He said he walked around for a full day after he met her the first time in a daze just thinking about her. That's how I always thought she probably was! I don't think about her being a crackhead, I still remember her for singing at the olympics, or singing "Didn't we almost have it all" at the Special Olympics even. The drudgereport ran a picture of her with the title "The Greatest Voice of All" She was one of those singers who sang better than the songs she sang. You could always hear her spirit for life in all of her songs, she was certainly a very special human being. |
