Sad new indeed....a great talent.

Bobby Brown should take a lot of the blame for this!

Well, I for one think it is sad. She had a beautiful voice and was well liked around the world for a talent everyone could see, see will be missed by many.



Angus - nice words for Judith, pity you have no pity for others.

I dont think its about what the artist does with their life, more what they bring to you and I for one have loved her music since the first song!

She died of a very very sad illness. She was unable to fight it, unlike some who with help and support are able to live a happy life helping others.I pray her daughter is free from this illness.



RIP You have left us with so much.

Gusanova, msg 6



I couldn't agree more. Yet another 'celebrity' junkie bites the dust. Just the kind of role model you'd want your kids looking up to!

It was a very, very sad illness that was self inflicted. Having worked for many years with young people who depended on powerful drugs to keep them alive I have to admit that I have very little sympathy for people who take drugs for fun.



A beautiful and talented woman, what a waste of a life.

The drug pushers are within the school playgrounds of a lot of schools today. Giving drugs away ! Pray its not your children or your children's children.



This dear lady was a daughter,mother,sister friend. This illness is like cancer it will spare no one.

I worked with young people and would always get them to sing this one, as loud and proud as they could.

I am sure it helped some today to remember they are able to go far. Music is so very powerful. Think before you put others '' down ''~~~~~

I read she died in bath and NO ILLEGAL drugs were found in her room, only medication, so let's not jump to conclusions.

Feel sorry for her Mum and daughter and we still have here voice to remember.

She was on the road to ruin the day she met that cretin, Bobby Brown, drug pusher and wife beater.

It is sad to hear of her passing. When I listen to her songs they often bring happy memories.

Whatever her lifestyle she was a truly talented individual!

I found a clip on youtube showing Whitneys funny moments..i believe that the 'majority' of the clips were before that evil twisted arsehole Bobby Brown got his hooks into her...she looked so happy....



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUOfPBXDMbY&feature=related



Although i appreciate her talent, i am not convinced she should be held up as a role model...but this clip does sort of endear her...

Msg 23.



Totally agree.....never a fan of her's but once she got hooked up with that low life BB there was only one way she was going, sadly.......hope he regrets it but somehow doubt it.......the guy, like most of his type, is a total kn*b..!

I think you'll find Whitney was on drugs a long time before BB, poor sod in for a right grilling not saying he's an angel or anything, i think some of the comments on this thread are a disgrace, the death of anybody is sad regardless of cause. R.I.P

There should be zero tolerance where illegal drug taking is concerned with life imprison for dealers.

#35, maybe alcohol should be banned, but then most people here really would be dperessed .................... and the ravine would finally be smoke free.

I was sad to hear that Whitney Houston had passed away. A sad and a tragic end of a young life and great talent.
