That's a silly thing to day.

 

[RosettaStoned]

Also, I would be sad.. because I used to love Whitney. But she hasn't been relevant in years and I honestly forgot she existed.

....all you gotta do is look up in da tree

Due to her own choices she's become a forgotten figure. Much like Michael Jackson her albums will probably shoot up (no pun) in sales. There is something to these extremely gifted artist and drugs.

"No Junk, No Soul."​

Which National Anthem rendition was best?

Whitney's or Marvin Gaye's? Or is there another worthy of being in the debate?

Whitney's by a mile. It's not close and not even a question.

Having come across people that met or worked with her Ive never heard a single nice thing about her. This was pre Bobby as well.

Exactly, but already the Facebook knuckleheads are putting everything on Bobby. Like one of my friends said, Whitney & Bobby were two peas in a pod.

I don't know why, but we've seen so many creative people(musicians, artists, actors) indulge in self-destructive behavior. This shit ain't new.

That's a silly thing to day.

Why is that?

 

[RosettaStoned]

Why is that?

Because it's uneducated.

Based on TMZ's of the world, sounds like she took Xanax (possibly other pills too), got in the tub, fell asleep and drowned. She was apparently in the bathroom for an hour before her entourage checked and discovered her.

Perhaps whatever she took (only prescription pill bottles were found) did something to her heart before she could have drowned. An autopsy will find out.

Whitney Houston's Body Discovered By Ray J, Says New Reports



In an interesting twist to Grammy-winning singer Whitney Houston being pronounced dead Saturday (February 11) night, new reports claim crooner Ray J may have discovered her body at a Beverly Hilton Hotel.

According to new reports, Ray was also actively dating the late music icon.

Whitney Houston was found dead at the Beverly Hilton Hotel this afternoon. According to CNN, it was Ray J who found her body. At this time, it is unknown if she overdosed or committed suicide. s that Ray J found Whitney dead Saturday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel," tweeted Justin Lear. The news station also reported that Ray-J (famous for his sex tape with Kim Kardashian) and Whitney had been intimately dating and have been together for the past few days. Ray J has not tweeted anything about the death of Whitney Houston (which is understandable), who coincidentally died on his sister, Brandy's, birthday. (Celebs Gather)

The latest reports claim Houston was pronounced dead early Saturday evening.

Legendary pop singer Whitney Houston was found dead Saturday at a Beverly Hills, California, hotel, officials said. She was 48. The entertainer, whose incredible talent was discovered at an early age, was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. (6:55 p.m. ET) at the Beverly Hilton hotel despite resuscitation efforts, a police spokesman said. Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said there were "no obvious signs of criminal intent" and that the cause of her death is being investigated. Houston's bodyguard found her body, said Courtney Barnes, publicist for hip-hop artist Ray J, who was dating the pop diva. (CNN)

While details are still coming together, publicist Kristen Foster broke the news Saturday (February 11) night.

American singer and actress Whitney Houston has died at the age of 48, her publicist Kristen Foster has said. The cause and the location of her death were unclear, Ms Foster told the Associated Press news agency. Regarded as one of the most celebrated female acts of all time, she also enjoyed success acting in films such as The Bodyguard and Waiting to Exhale. (BBC News)

The singer previously confessed to battling drug addiction.

But by the end of her career, Houston became a stunning cautionary tale of the toll of drug use. Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming; her once serene image was shattered by a wild demeanor and bizarre public appearances. She confessed to abusing cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her once pristine voice became raspy and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes as she had during her prime. "The biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy," Houston told ABC's Diane Sawyer in an infamous 2002 interview with then-husband Bobby Brown by her side. (MSNBC)

Prior to her music career decline, Houston was world renowned for setting industry records.

So far, the details surround Houstin's death are unclear. The singer famously battled drug addiction for years. Houston won two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, 22 American Music Awards during her record-breaking career. Her album "Whitney" was the first female album to ever debut at #1 on the Billboard Charts. She has sold 200 million albums world wide. Houston holds an Honorary Doctorate in Humanities from Grambling State University in Louisiana. Houston had one child, Bobbi Kristina, with husband Bobby Brown. Houston and Brown were married from 1992-2007. (TMZ)

Ray J didn't find her. When he was notified, he tried to go into the room but LAPD wouldn't let him in.

EDIT....ehh, who the fuck knows.

Some interesting quotes from a interview she did with Oprah in 2009:

Oprah: Did you think something was gonna happen in those drug-crazed, drug-filled days where you’re sitting for hours and days?

Whitney: There were times when he (Bobby Brown) would smash things, break things in the home. Glass. We had a big, big giant portrait of me and him and my child. He cut my head off the picture. Stuff like that. And I thought, “This is really strange.” So I figured, cutting my head off a picture, that was a little much for me. That was one sign.

And then there were other things like he started to paint in my bedroom eyes. Just eyes. Evil eyes that were looking at every point of the room.

Oprah: He started to paint on the walls?

Whitney: Yeah. The rugs. The walls. The closet doors. If I opened the door, there would be one picture. Then I’d close them and there would be another picture and eyes and faces. It was really strange. …

Oprah: What are you doing with all of that?

Whitney: I’m looking at it going, “Lord, what’s really going on here?” I was getting scared because I felt something was going to blow. Something was going to give.

Whitney: She (her mother) said, “It’s not worth it.” She said: “If you move, Bobby, [the sheriff will] take you down. Don’t you make one move.” And he stood there like he was scared.

And she said: “Let’s go. Let’s do this. I’m not losing you to the world. I’m not losing you to Satan. I’m not doing this. I want my daughter back. I want you back. I want to see that glow in your eyes. That light in your eyes. I want to see the child I raised. And you weren’t raised like this. And I’m not having it. So you make a choice, and you make it here today because I have a court injunction that says you have to go.” …

Traumatic. :smh:
