Such a beautiful voice and talented individual.  Sorry to hear this… I feel for her teenage daughter.

“AND IIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!”

Rest in peace . Such a great voice she will be missed.

Bobby Brown killed her a long time ago.

That picture doesn’t look a thing like her.

Sad how this beautiful voiced woman drifted. She was lost and now is found.Rest in Peace.

First MJ now Whitney, I can’t believe this, some of my favorites are leaving.

 So very sad but true.

Rumor is Ray J found her in a hotel. Celebrities need to deal with their demons and not be ashamed of therapy.

R.I.P. Whitney Houston
I don’t remember anyone I know who didn’t like you…which is weird when you think about it.
See you on the other side milady,if there is such a thing.
You will be missed.

A true Patriot.

Man, if she could have just given up the drugs. Like Rush Limbaugh.

True. Excessively air-burshed. Drugs took a toll on her and she became quite haggardly-looking for a 48y/o black woman. NYDN seems to have a more recent photo of her from a few days ago. RIP. :(

Not true…according to RayJ’s publicist. 

Fat Grizzles 4 Palin & Fox News presents – Celebrity Stealth-n-Clean.

Get on it heifer!    

90 or 91 super bowl when she sang the national anthem. Youtube it! (Mediaite being really dumb not letting us link btw) 

She died at the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel. Just in…

 Aren’t you at CPAC?

TMZ mentioned this. Ray J and her were on again apparently. I didn’t even know they had dated.

 Still obsessed with Palin on a Whitney Houston thread? Wow.

I have never heard of this Ray J.  you allude to.

Hitney Whoston?????

Dammit.

Brandy’s brother. Kim Kardashian and a famous tape.

I have been following the CPAC conference. I didn’t even know Sarah Palin was speaking until this afternoon.

 Ok. That helps

Mo Fokker is an admitted anti-semite.  Ignore him.

TMZ for your celebrity news and Palin for you political insight?  You’re a class act Jersey Maid.  

 Actually I am anti-likudist and anti-religion, but call me as you wish “Barry”

Don’t feel bad… she’s been waiting to exhale for a long time.

Actually, my friend that lives in Hollywood told me about the TMZ report. TMZ was the only source that Michael Jackson story straight. Keep up dude.

I’m glad you devoted your weekend to CPAC. I didn’t. I just watched her speech and that was it. However, this is a Whitney Houston thread. Keep up. :)

Mediaite, please include her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner during one of the superbowls in the early 90′s. It was a classic and considered one of the best EVER!

 Ahh, I was hoping for some anecdotes from you about the conference.

Hearing that rendition of the National Anthem again just gives me chills. Beautiful.

Hahahaha and now Al Sharpton has weighed in.

 You must know links are not allowed because otherwise you would link to the article.

P.S.
Is the prohibition against links a common practice on blogs?

 Crap. Now you are getting your Rays mixed up.

What are you even talking about?

Your obsession with me is odd.

Absolutely…what an amazing talent.

 Sorry. I thought Al sharpton might have tweeted.

Actually there was quite a big huff in the 90s where African Americans felt Whitney had “sold out” (by downplaying her R&B roots) and trying to appeal to “white people”.  It was all a bunch of crap, IMO – her music was in a class of it’s own, and wasn’t made for “black” people or “white” people.
Regardless, she was an exceptional talent and was one of music’s ultimate stars.

Very sad.  I have been waiting for her to find the greatest love of all and I don’t think she ever found it.

On some. I know the Washington Slimes page does not allow linking and neither does the National Journal site if I recall correctly. It’s so freaking dumb. How are we supposed to converse w/o external linking? I wish they will change this odious policy, soon! Before, they used to have a cap of 3 links per post. It was annoying, but still better than ZERO linking.

 I agree.  Now I suspect we will be seeing entire articles from the American Thinker blog instead of a paragraph and a link.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L_23XC3uCY

This rendition is much better because it was actually live.. She mimed the  Super Bowl performance .. RIP..

God bless Whitney. I feared this day. Please, Lord All Mighty, give her the peace she couldn’t find here on earth. I will always remember her singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. Best ever. I will miss you sweet Whitney.

Not at all. The report changed. Ray J and her were back on dating.

Once again, your obsession with me is creepy.

Stalk TMZ, not me.

What’s funny about that? Sharpton is immersed into the black community. He used to be road manger for James Brown back in the day (so music means something to him) and like it or not, is regarded highly among the AA community. He has an audience that would love to hear his 2 pennies on this tragic event. Don’t forget Sharpton eulogized the last great black musician to pass away.

Crack is not whack!!

Why wouldn’t you even be commenting on the Washington Times unless you were trolling? Lots of free time? I comment on three sites, period.

“Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen says Medical Distress call came @ 3:23p. CPR unsuccessful. Whitney Houston was pronounced dead @ 3:55.’

VeronicaIsLive on Twitter.

I’m glad you’re enjoying this so much…

Maybe you can stfu now.

I get information from many sources. I read a lot. That’s how you stay informed on issues. I comment on any issue the very same reason you comment here. Why would you ask such a stupid question? 

I troll? How many times have you been banned from this site? You have almost 2000 comments on Mediate alone on this “new” handle. Now, tell me again, who has lots of “free” time, trolling?

 Sharpton is a joke period.

Whitney was and will always be an amazing singer. She had her troubles. There is no reason to make her a martyr. Both her and Michael had their oddities and instead of getting true help, did themselves in.

Dr. Drew already stated that there was no way that she should’ve been doing any work and should’ve stayed in recovery.

Precisely. That’s what they don’t get. People will just C&P entire articles now within their posts. 

 I think we may need to organize a boycott.

Your narcissism knows no bounds. Do you really think you’re that important for people to “stalk” or “obsess” over you? Get a grip, lady. You do this everyday. If you do not want to be responded to, don’t post on public websites. 

Fu** Dr. Drew..who cares wtf the hack said.
Like I said,I’m really glad you’re enjoying yourself…good for you.

Now fu** off.

Getting information from multiple sources has nothing to do with commenting on a site. I comment on three sites, period.  That doesn’t hinder my ability to read other sources. I choose to not troll on other sites. You apparently feel the need to troll many sites.

If you truly cared about having real conversations, you wouldn’t be talking on the internet to people. You would be out in the community, causing real change and depth of ideas. When I was actually involved in politics, there was never any time for comments on sites. Political gurus and volunteers have no knowledge of sites like these.

I was banned one time. I never said anything that was bannanble. Colby took offense to what I was saying. Pure and simple. I’ve never been banned from any site but Huff Po.  It was then I realized how silly it was to troll a site of dissenting opinion.

I’ve always had this handle. I’ve always only had two Disqus accounts. Continue trolling.

What a shame. A beautiful and amazingly talented lady. 

Crackheads die.  It’s what they do best.

Of course it does. Me commenting on OTHER sites is no different from you commenting on this site. It just means your readership, and consequently, your mental output is limited. You admit to being BANNED from this site before for trolling. I have never been banned….from ANY site I comment on. Now stick to doing what you are known for. 

P.S. Notice it is YOU who started trolling this WH thread by mocking Al Sharpton.

Perhaps you need a refresher on how internet stalking works. Mo Fokker responded to me, in a Whitney Houston thread,  about a non-Whitney Houston related subject matter.

Let me also note that I have actually been internet stalked from a couple posters on here by virtue of them merely tracking my name. Seeing as I don’t comment on many sites, I would find that creepy.

I wish to at least stay on topic. I also thought that you swore to not talk to me under my old name. Go ahead and do so.

Her “greatest love of all” is probably what killed her.

Like I said, you are a narcissistic troll who has a deluded sense of self importance. Nobody “stalks” you. They just respond to your prattling…which is abundant in nature. Now, run along…little one. 

P.S. I held my end of the bargain until YOU started responding to my posts again.

I admit to being banned because I told Colby to edit his articles better. Ooooh, you sure got me.

You troll online. I’ve put my talents to work in real-life situations. Big difference there Ver. It takes no mental output to operate in virtual reality. I can’t believe you just typed that.

The first troll was Mo Fokker, talking about me and CPAC. Keep up. I know it’s hard with all of your virtual reality contributions. Too funny.

She was so beautiful and talented. You always want to be optimistic and hope that people will triumph over their demons. Sadly not in this case.

Breaking news: Keith Richards officially declared a highlander

Oh Ver – Do you seriously not know the concept of internet bullying? Too funny. There is a difference in talking to someone on ONE site. It is another to follow that person to another site. Perhaps you should read articles on internet stalking or better yet, talk to legal counsel so that you don’t fall into this category.

Take for example if I followed you to the Washington Times, just for the sake of responding to you. That would be called stalking – cyber stalking. Kids have died over internet bullying. I’m surprised you’re not aware of these stories.

I never made a bargain with you. That’s the difference. You might want to figure out how contracts work while you’re looking up cyber stalking.

Now back to Whitney.

Can he somehow blame whitey is the question? My money’s on Sharpton.

Seriously, what is wrong with you as a human being?

Let me get this straight. I accuse you of being self-involved and self-absorbed and instead of you disabusing us off those accusations, you go ahead and prove them right? Guffaw. *shakes head*

Yup. Whitey owns the hotel she died in. *snark off*

wow you must have been following so damn closely what was going on at CPAC because she was the key note speaker.

lmao +5

lol   =  ignorance is so funny to watch

the person you describe existed 25-30 yrs ago

So tragic. For those of us who have a loved one battling addiction (especially a child, no matter the age), this is the day you constantly fear will come. It’s a living hell not just for the person battling the disease but for those who love them, too. I hope she is finally at peace. I’m so sorry for her family. I pray to God I never get that call or knock on the door.

Girlfriend, always remember this. When Whitney Houston passed away, the world stopped and grieved the passing of an angel who walked among mortals.
When you pass, no one will care. You’re no one special. You’ve made no mark on the world. 1000 years from now people will still know who she is and listen to her music. You will be forgotten well before ho take hour last breath.
Think about that.

Al Sharpton knew Whitney from the the time she was a little girl. 

I was near insanity when my teenage daughter played “I will always love you“ hours on end.

How far would have she had gotten if her auntie were not Dionne Warwick. Just wondering.

Right.

can’t we lay off the race crap for a second, to honor someone who died. even for a second?  Just saying. death does not discriminate, meaning, its something even the craziest right wing nut job and I have in common and can relate on, I don’t see the point in trying to bring it up while honoring someone posthumous.  

yes, actually the prohibition of links in the comment section of blogs, is common practice to prevent spam! 

He’s got his own show.
You get Libs to yell at you on a comments section.

 Hey grammar Police

Why wouldn’t you even be commenting?

Let’s clean it up now, or you’re going to lose your badge.

the fact your saying you have 2 disqus accts. and that you were banned, makes you a sock puppet troll. if I was the admin of the site, I would not allow you to comment on here until that was resolved. 
you seem to use words like troll, but don’t really know what they mean. I have never read your comments here before, but I would venture to guess your political persuasion is conservative.If I am wrong about being a conservative, my sincere apologies, no offense intended 

You guys should just get a room and be done with it.  

did you just say Dr. Drew just stated? seriously? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Her life will be talked about by everyone as everyone has or should have loved her and her music and voice. Sadly that beutiful life was steared in the wrong direction and has been taken from us prematurely. I for one am heartbroken over this truly sad news!

Zip it, Rufus. Or were you ExGOP? I forgot which other brand you operated.

Clean up your own comma misuse.

I created two accounts because I had only commented on two sites. There was a reason why I operated under one name per site. It’s called cyber stalking LDK.

I don’t troll here. I comment here.

What matter would it be if I were conservative or liberal? You make no sense. Mo Fokker responded to me about a non-Whitney issue in a Whitney thread period. He is not the first to display “passionate responses” towards me on this site.

And if you don’t know me, it would be better to not comment at all to me about issues you don’t know. Wouldn’t it?

That would be, he has his own show.

His show is a joke.

If you have a problem with Dr. Drew, take it up with him.

I remember singing “How Will I Know” at the babysitter’s. I never knew about her song “I Look to You” but wow – beautiful.

Didn’t know that. Thanks!

Your use of the word trolling repeatedly is disconcerting as is the substance of your posts. Paranoia seems to run deep for you given your comments that I have read.

it’s not Dr. Drew I have the issue with really, it’s how you cite him like some wise source of knowledge. . 

Last public appearance just 2-3 days ago.

I make it my policy not to be derogatory toward anyone when posting. You are the first in as much as I recognize you really, really need to get some help with your state of mind.

So you choose to demean our memory of her, thanks a bunch!

I agree these folks are being dbags with their callous remarks about Whitney, but don’t do the same. 

Very far. Talent like that brings you fortunes. There are some people who sing and leave you wondering why they do it and there are others who sing and just leave you in awe. Whitney, Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Adele, Winehouse are in this latter group.

Stalking = Reading a few posts up in the same thread.  

You’re a gem.

“I Have Nothing” has always been my favorite Whitney track. First song I ever heard by Whitney was “How Will I Know” back in the days of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” and Salt N Pepa’s “Push It” — I must have been in 4th or 5th grade then. Showing my age.

Thanks James for this excellent collection of her most memorable songs. Alas you left the greatest one out,  “Saving All my Love for You”. Here is a clip of her live performance of that song on Letterman when she was just 21:

A part of all of us is gone with her. :(

Was mad in love with her back in the 80′s and over the years. Even with all the troubles a little fire burned for her and hoped that there would be a happy ending. Sadly it was not to be and it’s that way with some of us so lets all hold each other a little closer regardless of personal challenges and cherish that were in each others lives.

“Cocaine is a hell of a drug!” -Rick James

Rest in Peace Whitney Huston…

…Rest in Peace!

She was only 48 genius

The media is trying to sugar coat her life. It is unfortunate that any human being dies ahead of their time, but she lived in that hollywood fantasy world of booze and drugs, she was booed off the stage in London, and was seen in the past two weeks as disoriented and obviously back on drugs. Where the hell were her family and friends? Where was the intervention. Now, everyone feels so sorry for her. It’s too late!!.

Thank you for overstating the obvious.

 
Whitney Houston – One Moment In Time(Grammy Awards Live)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYFHAvULvJ0By far, the best single performance of any Grammy show. An apt tribute, as opposed to her colleagues partying through the night while her body lay still warm just a few floors up. – Despicable Hollywood scum.

And Tony Bennett thinks the answer is to legalize drugs…

Yea, that’s the ticket. We don’t have enough drugs on the street now, lets legalize some more…

Shezzzzzzzzzzzzz…stick to what you know, Mr. Bennett… singing songs.  And leave drug & alcohol abuse prevention to those who have experience in dealing with such matters.

indeed.

I’m with Bennett on  that.

I was never a fan of her voice or her music.  No matter how pathos drenched or bombastic both got, to my ears it all sounds essentially canned.

And how many years experience working in drug & alcohol rehab do you have?

That’s what I thought…

OHHHHH!!!! (regular show style)

But you gotta remember there are still a lot of stupid white liberal entertainers who will die this year from drug use.

Now where is that death pool chart at?

That’s only the fallacy of an appeal to authority, you know.

Your life/career in Hollywood is like a NASCAR race it’s a train wreck waiting to happen.

You dirt bags were laughing it up at her drug use and weirdness when her and bobby had the VH-1 show.

Nice dodge…fact is, you have NO EXPERIENCE.

Now run along & quit bothering me with your ignorance of the subject

 Totally untrue. If you watched their TV show, “Being Bobby Brown”,  it was quite evident that Whitney was the crazy one in that relationship.

Dionne is her cousin.

 A true drug addict.

This response from you is must more emotional silliness.

This is a blog board for commenting. Your decision to read and to respond is entirely your own.

 She was great in that, but me admiration was somewhat diminished when I learned she had lip synched it.

 Yes, we tried to ignore that dark period in her life.

 You and libs like YOU are responsible for her death. All you can do is advocate for the legalization of illegal drugs because they are “cool” and “”hip.”

Roland Martin just tweeted that it was racism that killed her.

 You can call him, Ray, or you can call him Jay but you doesn’t have to call him Johnson!

 says the slime ball.

 Shut your noise,loser.

 So did Soupy Sales!

You’re not really worth an answer,are you?
You’re low buddy,really.

 Music legend Whitney Houston died this afternoon at the age of 48.

Houston was found dead in her Beverly Hills hotel room where, according to friends of the singer, she had been “gettin her swerve on” with a man named “Jimmy Crack Corn”.

Police are not ready to declare Whitney Houston’s death a murder, but
they do consider this Jimmy Crack Corn a “person of interest”.

 Ben, you are responsible for Whitney’s death. Now get back on your drugs.

More great liberal logic:

” Singer Tony Bennett isn’t just a liberal, he’s an embarrassing liberal who says the wrong thing at the wrong time. The Hollywood Reporter passes along that at the pre-Grammy bash of record producer Clive Davis, Bennett took the news of Whitney Houston’s untimely death as an
occasion for a political statement demanding America legalize drugs like the Netherlands.

“First it was Michael Jackson, then Amy Winehouse, now, the magnificent Whitney Houston,” he began. “I’d like every person in this room to campaign to legalize drugs.”

But it gets worse.

“Let’s legalize drugs like they did in Amsterdam,” he continued. “No one’s hiding or sneaking around corners to get it. They go to a doctor to get it.”

Yes Tony, why not say that tonight at the Grammy awards.

Figures you’d watch such tabloid reality dreck

My friend just met a chocolate man on Blackwhitemeet.COMit’s where for men and women looking for interracial’ship for a fabulous lifestyle
It’s a nice place for black white sing’les, to interact with each other…no bounds or extremes in front of true love.

And yet another voice silenced.

May you beautiful tones enrich the heavens, as they did here on earth.

Rest in peace.  You have earned it.

Yes…Let’s all die legally.
Great idea, Tony

Who are you talking to?

Talking to someone who is obsessed with Rush Limbaugh, such as yourself, is not a good barometer of what stalking is.

Talking to someone who is obsessed with Rush Limbaugh, such as yourself, is not a good barometer of what stalking is.

Kayne West was heard saying, “I’m sorry, but M.J. had one of the most tragic deaths of all time,”

Ver is a troll.

Mo Fokker isn’t a troll. He’s just obsessed with me as he talked about a serious matter that was not Whitney related in a Whitney Houston thread. That is all.

Leedog is also a troll. He’s been on the site C4P before. As has another liberal on this site, Obama’s Reelection 2012 or something like it. There are actual trolls on this site that follow posters from one site to another. That is one version of a troll.

He’s a specialist in his field. He is a wise source of knowledge. Keep up.

I haven’t been derogatory. You just need to know how liberals on this site have worked. Many of these posters have a history.

Your SN is new. If you stick around, you’ll see what I mean.

Look at any Palin thread. She’s so irrelevant that she has the most comments her thread. Too funny.

Rogue is only saying that Whitney was better 15-20 yrs ago, which is true.

Also, since you use derogatory terms towards women, you shouldn’t really expect much credibility back.

I responded to what was said, not your interpretation. It was a tacky thing to say in a thread about someone who just died.

 Exactly what derogatory term did I use?

There’s only one problem with tossing out “stalking” like you do – the specific incidences you allege are “stalking” will not pass muster under 18 USC 875 or 47 USC 223*.

I will leave your BabyGoodling facilities, to be exercised at a law school (a la RegentsU) starting this fall, to understand why your assertions do not credibly fall under either of those laws.   

(*misdemeanor)

“Thanks for the Memories.”!  It was Bob Hope’s theme song, but Whitney’s fans should remember all of the words of the song today!  “We thank you so much.”  RIP Whitney!

She could have even had a heart attack.  After years of drug use, the body – particularly the heart, weakens.  So, over all – yes, it was drugs but it could have just been natural death as a result of drug use.

You have no clue what type of cyber stalking I’m talking about avoidswork.

Once again, you’re inserting yourself into a discussion. Epic fail.

Nowhere did Rouge talk about Houston’s age. You were responding to a point that you thought she was making that didn’t exist.

I believe you used the term MILF in another thread, for starters.

Nowhere did Rouge talk about Houston’s age. You were responding to a point that you thought she was making that didn’t exist.

Oh please! Where’s yuour grasp of the english language? First, Rouge didn’t say 15 or 20 years ago, but 25 or 30 years ago, which is pretty dam significant for someone who dies at 48.

2ndly I said very simply that she was beautiful and amazingly talented lady, and the comment was

the person you describe existed 25-30 yrs ago

  Implying not just that she was better when she was 18 to 23, but that she ceased being beautiful or amazingly talented at 24, since that person no longer existed.

As I said, I responded to the actual words not your misrepresentation of them. By most standards of decency it was a tacky and unnessecary thing to say about a musical icon who passed away so young and my response was pretty mild.

I believe you used the term MILF in another thread, for starters.

I did indeed. So finding someone attractive and sexually desireable is derogatory? Maybe you should look that word up.

Even the Viagra?
