Whitney Houston

How can one person both feel shock and lack of shock to hear that the biggest voice of the mid 1980s and the 1990s passed away much too early at the age of 48. I had hoped for much more for Whitney. If her death wasn't drug or alcohol related, what cruel irony it will be. Her singing is not everyone's flavour, but to me she was the epitome of ( Read more... )

I loved her music and had all her CDs except for the most recent one. I saw her three movies. I watched the interviews over the last few years hoping to see that she was trying to regain the footing of her life.

It's tragic, Vonnie! Whitney was a gem!

I know what you're feeling - I thought the lack of surprise trumped the shock until I was watching her rendition of the national anthem at the Superbowl in 1993 and I burst out crying. So much talent destroyed by drugs - I wasn't conscious until that very moment how much her story touched me on the level of my own recovery and how much I feel I lost to addiction - and I was lucky enough to have recovery stick at the relatively early age of 31. Even if Whitney's death was not directly due to overdose, there's just no way all that abuse didn't contribute to her demise at least on a secondary level. Just tragic.

I agree!

I applaud you winning your battle.

I never thought it would be easy for Whitney, but I always had hope.

Her passing is tragic as you said. :(

At first I couldn't get what happened, why people are talking about her, uploading her vids on FB. Then, the news shocked me.
It's unbelievable......

Did you know her music, Max? She was one of my favourite singers when she was younger. It's terrible to know that she passed away so young and left her Mom and daughter and so many who loved her to mourn.
