geriatrickid Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Too young 48 is not young. The fact of the matter is that she squandered her career. She made the decisions that did that. I'll wait for the autopsy before commenting further. However, this is one washed up singer I'm not going to mourn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to Michael Jackson on the radio the other day, I was reminded how good a singer he was, and his Motown background. His lifestyle did him in. Whitney same-same. Tremendous talent and heritage. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Michael Jackson a good singer, He has a voice like a wee schoolgirl, and I think the lest said about his background the better.

rwhoov Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 She had a fantastic voice, but when she belittled a fan a few years ago I stopped being interested. It's amazing how fame affects people, usually for the worse. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MilesCh Posted February 12, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2012 I certainly quickly tire of the many negative thoughts on Thai Visa. It would behoove the situation if those people would simply dissappear allowing those who enjoyed ms Houston to continue their remembrance of her stage presence and fine voice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is fair to blame Bobby Brown. Ms. Houston said their true personalities were not as far apart as people may have believed. - As posted on the AP wire service. Bobby Brown, no matter how awful he might be, wasn't the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siampolee Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Entertainment industry pays high and plays hard, many a recreational diversion aid is available, some good some bad. Some folks live some die. However Whitney Houston was decent artist who will be missed by many though. Speculation as to the cause of her death and perchance those who may have influenced her will no doubt come to the forefront in the not too distant future.
