What sad news. She really had a beautiful voice back in the day.

A few stolen moments is all that we share...
Liza Minelli is still alive...
Well I'm not surprised at all, it was bound to happen sooner or later :(
Liza Minelli is still alive...Yes, Liza's till kicking! Hey, don't bury one of the last old timey show biz battleaxes yet!
Her songs were the background music to many memorable moments in my life.
RIP Whitney.
Really? For some reason you don't seem like a Whitney fag to me.
On that note I will clearly state that better Whitney than Mariah (in life, not death) -- can I have a witness?
Someone said to me earlier today - "isn't that the woman who sang My Heart Will Go On?" Nooooooooo..... puhLEEZE!
she had a fabulous glamour when she was whacked out, with ratty hair and minks, on crack runs, in her lowest moments.

Oh, Celine Dion is absolutely the worst.
Unless we are talking about the faboolous MK remix of "Misled".
Child please -- I can see women like that from my living room window roaming Broad Street at 4 AM.Exactly! And are these crackheads global superstars and are those furs Dior? :o
... and speaking of MK, there's a very over-looked mix he did of Bobby Brown (sorry, can't find the dub which is better because his vocals are stripped out)

you folks give these Pop artist way to much power ::)
even after their demise, it's kinda ridiculous to me ;D
How about a remix of her fantastic (and not very-well-known) duet with Aretha? There is a remix of this tune by Clivillés & Cole, circa 1989, but no one has uploaded it. This is the Howard Prince mix.
Aretha & Whitney - It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be (http://youtu.be/iIWhV5Akd18)
Whut, you mean I shouldn't spend the next few days crying in bed, surrounded by my multiple copies of 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' and 'The Bodyguard' (while watching several repeats of Waiting to Exhale)? Let a queen drown in her heartache and despair, you cold-hearted macho man :P ::)
Well girl, buy it for 94 cents (http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=547843&ev=rb) because even I don't own that one.
Ooh, and it even has the 1989 Vogue Dub. I'll make ya a copy when I get it.
I don't think it's ever done better... You can almost feel the power coming from her voice towards the end.

Whitney Houston was nothing more than a R&B POP singer from the 80s
that's all she was to me, despite all of her her drug use...

I agree Skeebo, that performance at the 91 Superbowl set the gold standard for singing the national anthem.
I get goose bumps hearing her performance.
It's not an easy song to sing to begin with (which is why so many performers muck it up), but she nailed it.
RIP Whitney

I gave up on Pop Culture more than 20 yrs. ago when I was about 35 yrs old, I still like the oldies tho, what do you expect, I'm 55 yrs old and proud of it ;) old fart here ;D

TMZ now has pictures of her corpse being wheeled down a hotel corridor on a gurney -- keep it classy L.A.! ::)
More details indicate that she pulled one of my old tricks and took too many benzos with booze while bathing.

She also crashed an E! News interview several days ago (http://www.eonline.com/redcarpet/2012/grammys/news/whitney-houston-s-final-interview-with-e-watch-now/293571) acting -- er... -- erratic. Such glamor! Beverly Hills, Darling! Shi shi shi shi!
I hope it is moments like this that people remember and not her low points
If I mix klonopin with bourbon and then doze off then my sleep apnea sometimes causes me to choke on my own vomit.
Someone said to me earlier today - "isn't that the woman who sang My Heart Will Go On?" Nooooooooo..... puhLEEZE!
Yes Bobby just arrived about 15mins ago
How about her 80's era lesbian lover Robyn Crawford?
Chile, I'm surprised no one had mentioned her (http://popcrush.com/whitney-houston-friend-robyn-crawford-open-letter/) up to this point. Pull down the shade!
Or about how Ms. Houston used to fly to Chicago to have playtime with Kelly McGillis -- and you know the rumor was that sometimes Jody Foster would show up.
I'm having SUCH a Whitney day -- five hours of the "Going Home" faux funeral, and now endless Whitney videos on FUSE channel, then at 7 PM a BET special, and at 8 PM "The Bodyguard" -- and last night as I was drifting off to sleep I watched "The Preacher's Wife" ::)
... and I'm not even a Whitney fanatic. In fact, her only album I own was the debut one and I bought it used at a thrift shop in college.
I missed the entire service. Been at the movies all day doing the Oscars marathon (4 movies today and 5 next week). Right now I'm watching The Tree of Life. I soooooo love this movie. Oh, I did listen to Whitney's first album as I drove to the theatre.
1) you never go to an actual cinema, you stream everything. Stop the lies. You're becoming like Wumpy. I hope you didn't eat that nasty popcorn and gorge on fake nachos.
2) Tree of Life was rather quasi-meh IMO.
3) I'm listening to the Twilo/Vasquez mix of "I Learned from the Best"
4) I have a call out to obtain a copy of Vasquez's rendition of "Fine" which is oh-so-very. I think I have a copy on a CD-R but am too lazy to dig in the closet.
4) I am going to need those Whitney remixes of "Fine".
I just scored it in my dropbox -- want some?
The exit was amazing.i finally busted out in tears on that part. boy did they have that perfectly choreographed with the music - much less those lyrics for that part of the service. wow. RIP Whitney :'(
ruh roh... looks like Bobby bailed on the funeral after all (http://www.tmz.com/2012/02/18/whitney-houston-bobby-brown-funeral/#.T0BLMopSRSU). Now that's just sad.

Well...it's his prerogative
All because of seating arrangements... After he shows up with an entourage of nine. Please. Every Little Step he makes is just tacky.
I wish Rev Sharpton would have told him dont be cruel
He wouldn't have paid any attention. He's always too busy Humpin' Around.
Ok now you're getting into the crappy years.
I loathe Celine Dion with unparalleled intensity. Her voice brings bile up my throat. I usually don't dislike people easily (especially without knowing anything about them), but I have no feelings other than visceral hate for Celine. I enjoy it too. And I refuse to change. It's very therapeutic for me actually. And a bit retarded. LOL.
What?! Celine gets a bad rap, because she can sing everyone's songs better than they do. This really brings bile to your throat?

I didn't watch it. I hate funerals. I don't even want to attend my own.
Don't worry, you won't be attending your own funeral, you'll be DEAD ;D
I'm arranging it so no one finds my body.
I've left instructions for this to be played as my casket is carried out of the chapel:

Who cares.
All I wanna know is If I'm still in line to inherit your LP collection?
I want all Miss P's expensive designer shoes & clothing, I know I can't wear any of em' but I'm sure I can make killing on ebay :D
I want her t-cells... and the leather harness.

Whitney Houston: Dead
This Thread: on life support
And pretty soon both will be zombies.
And hopefully I won't have to hear...
"And I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-Y-E-E-E-E-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-Y-E-E-E-E-E-I-I-I-I......"
for a very.....very.....very long time.
I'm about ready to dunk my own head in the tub.
Couldn't resist (http://youtu.be/M_uFNC4A_Eo)
PS: From what I hear it's now en vogue to do lots of coke (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/autopsy-shows-amazing-race-producer-cocaine-system-cops-article-1.1027590) and pass out on the balcony
Also, do you think we will be blessed with years of postmortem Whitney sightings? Like how she really is alive in a Bhutanese monastery having switched identities in a back room of her Beverly Hilton suite?
Am I the only person who missed the pictars of Whitney's last meal: cheese burger, fries, turkey sammich, Heineken and a glass of champagne? Except for the champers it's like she was living the Wumpette Nutrition high life.
Also, I do not approve (http://www.celebuzz.com/2012-03-21/katy-perry-baptiste-giabiconis-snuggly-dinner-date-on-a-train-world-exclusive-photos/).
Pour quoi? She looks good with a hottie like him, especially after divorcing that weird troll whom I never really bought as her husband.
She's not ugly, but she has to do a lot to make herself not be plain.
Whitney's coroner's toxicology report turned up cocaine and marijuana use. Prescription medication was in the hotel room but not in excessive quantities. It's likely she had a heart attack and drowned.
Oh Nippy :(...even I know not to do lines of coke and then hop into a hot tub of water.
