Bobby did it.
I am LOLmused by all the people blaming Bobby Brown for Whitney's problems. I mean, give me a fucking break.
Tony Bennett is blaming the U.S. Government, in a round about way.
we can all, finally exhale.

I guess the crack pipe grew magic crack legs and magic crack arms and cracked its way up to her magic crack lips by itself?
eta: Honestly? I really just wanted to see the words "magic crack legs" written out like that :P
Sorry I haven't been keeping track on the Internet as of late.
Has the conspiracy theories started yet?

I feel bad for her kid. Having a crack-head diva for a mother is shitty but so is having no mother at all.
I'm glad the BBC ran no less than six different stories on Whitney Houston's death. I don't know how I would have coped otherwise. Clearly, the BBC tailors each individual story to the Five Stages of Grief, and then adds an extra story just to make sure you're not still in denial.
Roger, I have sat on this as long as I can. Whitney had a beautiful voice. The woman was a preachers daughter who had mental issues from her upbringing. She made some bad choices as an adult and paid the price for those choices.
I am tempted to compare to compare her to Billie Holiday.
How many of her songs did she write?
And how many instruments did she play?
Just, y'know, wondering.

As tempting as it is to pick that torch up and run with it, turning this thread into YET ANOTHER pointless yammer-fest about the idiocy of current American drug policy, I'll just say that Tony Bennett is absolutely right aside from the fact that rich people like Whitney Houston would be able to buy their way out of any sort of government-mandated treatment or harm-minimization programs.
Nice try though.

When listening to her beautiful voice interpret a song I can't help but wonder what that matters.
We apparently have VASTLY different opinions about her voice. :lulz:
Either that, or you also find the sound of a cat in a blender to be beautiful.
:)
I enjoyed plenty of her songs.
I think she definitely had a strong voice.
I just wasn't really ever into any of the songs she sang.
Especially that one she did for the Summer Olympics. that one just downright annoyed the shit out of me. It was EVERYWHERE.
I liked her voice, and hated her songs.
There is no reason to stay at the top of your range for 90 consecutive seconds, unless you are singing opera.
She had a great voice. Pity she destroyed it.
Also a pity that the voice was all she really had. All that money, and nothing to live for.
That, there, is a fucking tragedy.
I'm guessing she was just surrounded by a lot of yes-men who didn't have the courage to stand up and tell her she was in some real trouble. I think that's why celebrities have a particular rough time of it. When you are at that level of addiction, you really need to have people in your life who can tell you that things are really going south and that you need to get hooked up with some professional help.

Kinda the point I was making, in a roundabout way. If I were that fucked up, I know I have people I can count on to give me the ass-kicking I needed. Therefore, despite the fact that I gotta scramble to make the rent, I consider myself better off than she was.

Nope. Tragedy happens to people who strive and fail, not people who have it all and blow up anyway.
That's Shakespearean comedy, is what that is.

God, yeah. I always thought her songs were such a waste of a good singer.
