She was 48. Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown. At her peak, Houston the golden girl of the music industry. From the middle 1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world's best-selling artists. She wowed audiences with effortless, powerful, and peerless vocals that were rooted in the black church but made palatable to the masses with a pop sheen.[/quote]
Oh no :(
Unexpected, but that's what happens when you take drugs.
She was never anything special for me, yet somehow this stings. RIP whitney. :smith:
Damn, just 48.
Too young.
Where Do Broken Hearts Go? They stay here, while your soul rests in peace Whitney Houston.
I was browsing Facebook and saw it. Holy shit. I wonder what they're going to find as cause of death.
It's true TMZ is down with all the traffic.
This kind of sucks I guess. Ionna never really cared about her but it'll be interesting to see cause of death.
Fuck, this sucks. I liked her music.
that's a shame
What a shame.
Oh no, first Etta James now Houston...
Wow, this was a shocker. My sister used her as an inspiration for her singing, she's going to be devastated.
Who is this? Edit: Seriously. Who is Whitney Houston?
What the fuck, man. That's just shitty. Rest in peace, hope she gets a fitting tribute.
[QUOTE=MIPS;34657387]Who is this?[/QUOTE] Ya know, it'd help to come out from under your rock.
You people are fast, this just hit the news like not even 10 minutes ago.
Houston we have a problem.
now how will she love me forever
Cardiac Arrest is my guess. Although considering recent evidence she may have overdosed or choked on her vomit/swallowed her tongue.
RIP
Bobby Brown ruined her.
stung by wasps horrible way to go
OMG Whitney RIP :(
AAAAAAAAAANNNND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII...
is it okay that I don't really care? like i hate to be that guy who's all "OH CELEBRITIES ARE JUST PEOPLE THEY DIE TOO HURR" but Whitney wasn't anything special to me, all I can think of in relation to her is massive amounts of drugs. which probably killed her.
Sad news, R.I.P.
Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation and dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album. RIP Whitney.
