Whitney Houston passed away on 2/11/12 - Part 1

[Hopeful One]

Stunned.... I just heard as well. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an overdose but I will wait for autopsy/toxicology reports. So sad. Even through all of the messes she went through, she was certainly a legend.

 

[Jacie Estes]

I'm sorry to hear about this. She was a beautiful woman with an amazing voice. I still rent the Bodyguard from time to time, she and Costner were good together. She's at peace now. Condolences to her family.

Sadly, I don't think she ever 'got' that song...

 

[Wise Old Owl]

Yep, I just got the Special Report here as well. So sad. She was such a great talent.

Wonder if Auntie Dionne will release a statement?

Daily Mail: BREAKING NEWS: Whitney Houston, iconic singer and actress, dies aged 48

'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 Brown by her side.

Entered the Billboard Hot 100 charts on May 16, 1987. The inescapable summer hit of the season. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH3giaIzONA&ob=av2e"]Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody - YouTube[/ame]

So sad... that Whitney Houston's Greatest Love of All was what killed her. Whitney's first solo performance in the church was "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah". It's just too bad that somewhere along the line she stopped listening to where Jehovah was guiding. I pray that her children and family find peace and healing.

I had fallen off to sleep with the news on and just woke up to Don L's voice (CNN) saying that Whitney Houston was dead. How sad - How very sad for her children.

I knew she had a drug problem, but this is tragic.

Rest In Peace
Whitney Elizabeth Houston
August 9, 1963 to February 11, 2012

 

[Coldpizza]

Truly one of the best voices of all time and will transcend many generations.
What a loss
Peace to her family and may she be embraced by her music family as one of the Greatest Ever.
So sad
