No offense to Ms. Houston. . . I truly did love her [as a singer] and her music but you can't blame others for her drug use. We all make decisions and sadly using drugs was something she chose to do. She will forever be one of my favorite singer regardless of her past.

I just think that the ones she did never left her and it took a lot from her both financially and emotionally.We must say no drugs all time,like seriously.I wont be surprise,if it was suicide.I mean,d comeback was not even working so well.

She just lost it.Such a talent.

Yeah,our prayers should go to them cos truthfully,i dont know how her other half (Bobbee) is faring.The originator, i know,yu said we should blame Whitney for her deviations,buh i still have this urge to wriggle his neck.
Re: Whitney Houston Is Dead by toyemz(f): 2:57am On Feb 12, 2012
i understand where you 're coming from though
she took the one step  into drugs and couldn't turn back
such a strong woman
but when it came to love and drugs she was just too vulnerable and too weak

i doff my hat to her family,who never let her go and were bent on pulling her back from that hell

still i believe that everyone should be given a second chance
strange some never do

I understand what you mean. By the way, I hope you realize her and Bobby Brown have been divorced since 2006.

In as much as I'm saddened by her death, I'm sorry but I can't say that I blame him for her actions. I truly wish she had made a major comeback. I've been sitting and waiting patiently for her comeback album but I know now I'll never see it.

sorry i understand that every adult is responsible for his or own action
but in a situation where you have a controlling partner who abuses the vulnerability and trust put in him
then yes i hold him accountable
Bobby Brown was the original badboy who not only introduced her to the drugs but kept her on them so that he could use her money to feed his own habit, that is selfishness and that was the downward spiral clincher for Whitney
but for the faith and perseverance of her family she would have been dead long ago
she was an adult yes, but the one person who should have lifted her up,kept pushing her further and further down
That alone is the sin

Was she vulnerable? Yes. Was she weak?  Yes, but unless he put a gun to her head and forced her to take those drugs, I will in no way lay blame to him. I'm quite sure he was probably controling but ultimately she had the power and choice to turn her life around. She was not a child and with all the people around her who cared for her, she had the backing and financial means to leave his äss. I could understand if she had been a spouse who was in a relationship where she had no finacial means to support herself had she left or if she had no family, but that just wan't the case. Sadly, she made bad choices which may or may not have resulted to her death.  Yes, it is indeed a tragedy and a great loss to those who loved her and her music but to put all blame on him and only him is wrong. I'm not a Bobby Brown sympathizer but I'm not gonna blame him for something she could have stopped or prevented on her own. Now that she has divorced him and is no longer has her to egg her on to do these drugs, I suppose when the coroners report comes out and we discover that it was a relaspe in drug use that lead to her death [if that was the cause] are you going to continue to sit and blame Bobby Brown even though he is out of her life as her partner? If I am a video game fanatic who loves to play violent video games and my mother or father buys me violent and graphic video games and I then go out and kill people, should I then put the blame on the video games or my parents for me having committed those acts. As much as it pains me to say this, she made her bed. I will admit, not everyone is strong enough to get through drug abuse. I have a friend who's mother is a avid drug user and till this day this woman despite her son's pleas, she still does drugs. We know someday these drugs will claim her life but, its her choice and unfortunately those around her will suffer for it. Its a shame to see someone go from being such a success to person who has become consumed by drugs. I don't wanna appear to be insensitive to her personal struggles but its the truth.

Re: Whitney Houston Is Dead by MarcAnthon(m): 5:20am On Feb 12, 2012
I'm so so sad. Always loved her, always will. Always rooting for her to come back and was cheering loudly when she returned to sing "like I never left" with Akon. But she never quite made it back all the way. RIP Whitney!
Re: Whitney Houston Is Dead by LaParisienne(f): 6:59am On Feb 12, 2012
RIP Whitney. You'll be missed and your songs will live on.

Sad but hardly surprising.
Re: Whitney Houston Is Dead by claremont(m): 9:22am On Feb 12, 2012
As far as I'm concerned, I don't give a hippopotamus balls if she used drugs or NOT. What matters to me is not how long she lived or how she died; the bottom-line is that she made an indelible mark for herself during her time here on earth, and she will be sorely missed by millions.

I did say,yu are quite right.She is to be blamed,buh wriggling Bobbee's neck is my own personal way of dealing with her death.I just hate it when real music stars die,especially those whose music are quite global phenomena.I did feel like that too when Micheal Jackson died.Alwaiz wishd that they could live longer than normal (my thoughts.)
