I never said she was not a great singer but I am not going to feel sorry for people that foolishly destroy their own lives.

People should say NO to drugs. I have been there several times with people taking what their body doesn't need to "chill". What amazes me is how these people always try and convince others to join them in their bad habits. Some even pester. I know how to say NO, I don't even try it out of curiosity. My life is good enough, I don't need any recreation stimulant to improve it. Even my friends will repeatedly be asking me to take alcohol or sneak some in my drink. I take a sip or smell it and I say "there is alcohol in this shyt" and they start laughing. I pour it away and take my JUICE.

Apparently she was close to bankruptcy as well. No question the drugs contributed to that.

I was referring to when you said good riddance. Yes, she shouldn't have taken drugs but she is still a great person, flawed, but great. Keep in mind that MJ & Elvis Presley also abused drugs. Did you also say good riddance to them ?

I'm so sad! What a musical legend with so much talent. Tragic news! Drugs will take people down a path they do not want to go, keep them longer than they want to stay, and take more than they are willing to give. I used to want to try to sing like her as a child. Life is strange,

You have read Finishing Strong by Steve Farrar. Just tell me I'm correct.

I can have a little sympathy for Elvis but anyone in recent years that has seen the amount of these tin-head celebrities die of hard or prescription drugs and still abuse either either has a death wish or is dumb to the bone. I have no pity based on that.

I will enjoy their music but shed no tears for stupidity.

I can never see sense in all these drugs. They make as much sense to me as taking my toilet cleaning products and injecting it in my veins.

If you don't want to die, you don't abuse your body or substances. It is really not rocket science nor a secret.

One other thing I am noticing with some of these foolish celebrities is that they are losing their homes to foreclosure?

How the FCK can you make tens of millions a year or even in your lifetime and still be paying mortgage. Worse still fall behind on your payments.

What do I need a mortgage for if I make $7m a year for merely about 6 years? And some of these people make multiple that over years.

@ogugua people that are suffering from Physiology Trauma can end up taking drugs to damage them self. You can't blame some drug users this people got load of sh*t going through they head and they can't get over it. Some of them are victims of child abuse,rape etc.

Rest in peace Whitney.

Whitney, I will always love you.
She was doing so well until she met her nightmare (Bobby Brown).
He initiated her downfall with the drugs.

RIP.

God really blessed this woman with talent.

Its such a shame she got into drugs and got involved with that waste of space Bobby Brown

I concur. When I check these celebrities net worth(which by the way are just estimates cos I believe they earn more than the media discloses) and see how much they make, the first thing I ask myself is why they are still paying mortgage? I don't get it, I don't get it at all. Some of these actos earn over 10million per movie, what the hell do they need a mortgage for? they can buy these houses cash.

Just why I love coco(ice T's wife), she bought a house cash. You make the money, why not stay away from debt as much as possible.

RIP darling

may she rip.




i think that era is officially over though it lingers on in memory. . . . .

all the major players from then are either passed on or retired.


but i had some cool jams from those times sha- waking up early to get ready for school, the first thing i'd do was turn on the radio for some good music. . . . . . .i mean after listening to the church [or was it a man?] somewhere in one neighborhood do their morning worship which i could hear thanks to loudspeakers. . . . .later the sound was replaced by a mosque waking people up with calls to prayer, i discovered many years later when i revisited briefly. . . . . .

anyway, after the church [or man] singing [e je ka sope o, fun baba loke, pe a tun ji loni o], it was time for other cool music on the radio. . . . . . .

oh well, those days are gone.

Rest in peace W.H

Heard the news on the way to see Safe House.

RIP Legend Houston

and yes Sissy you're right. It will be the same lame arguements so Im not coming back to this thread

Wow RIP Whitney

so sad

. . . .Ok, first, James Brown, next, Luther Vandross, later, Michael Jackson, now, Whitney Houston. . . .what's happening with all these talented musicians of old? R.I.P. . . .you'll be missed. . . . .

This Lady always clads herself up. Her appearance is always prudent. A good example for our ladies.

What a woman. Even with all the wealth and fame.
6 Gramys. 23 American music awards, Billboards award, Emmy awards and various other awards

Though the devil tried to wreck her. She quickly realised her mistakes and made amends.

She is my superstar. The greatest female singer of all times.
Sleep well my beauty.

RIP Queen whitney!

RIP Witney, so so sad , Pls Be careful to whom you get married to.

What a sad end!!

. . .And iiiiiii. . . . . .will always. . . . . .love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. . .

RIP Whitney, your voice was amazing

RIP whitney

Bobby Bobby, you try

Ramsey scored again

So sad. But noticed something recently, since 2009 a music star alway pass on days or weeks before the Grammys.

This is extremely sad.

Reminds me of Brenda Fassie. Both of them, talented musicians who just pressed the self-destruct button.

What a waste and a lesson to those of us still alive to be careful of the choices we make.

RIP Whitney Houston! Hope this will bring about an end to drug ussage? Nigerian artist please take note.

I dont want to read her ups and down, just that she is dead. Ok Amazing Talent

Who will be the next celebrity to kick the bucket? Guess right and win $100,000
