Wow…That was kinda sad…I guess for some people fame and fortune isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

What’s sad is that this is how people choose to remember her. She isn’t famous because she died of drugs. A lot of people died of drugs & no one even cares about them. She’s famous because she blew people away with her voice even if you weren’t a fan of her genre. I wish people would focus more on that than her drug use. Believe it or not, she’s not the first artist to use drugs.

Whitney should be remembered as the sweetheart and talent that she was before Bobby Brown tuned her into a drug addict.

Her situation was similar to Judy Garland.

Obviously a lot of people are remembering her for the good she brought to the world as one of the most talented entertainers in history. However, I feel in this case, many people are searching for answers to why she died so young and so tragically — and I think this interview provides clues to that end.

She would have been find if she just smoked weed.  Don’t bring that into this like it’s evil or something.

Behind the scenes, the fame game is its own sweat shop, that pays higher dividends, and demands greater sacrafice.  Ratings, revenues, sales of music and movies, strip its proponents of their humanity.  Throw in a constant barrage of media hound dogging, the vultures of the paparazzi, and the individual pursuing fames devious promises, is reduced to a commodity and a shell of their former self.  Most weather the humiliation, as long as they are adequately cushioned.  The only devils in this industry, are the ones who scheme to own and dictate how those talents shall be channeled. Adele, you are in the sights of these snakes, and your frailties have been exposed…BEware of these venemous merchants who will stop at nothing to squeeze every dime possible from your fractured talent.

Between you and me I feel the same way.

Judging from this interview, It’s amazing she lasted as long as she did.

With everyone knowing Whitney was having problems,why didn’t anyone help her? She said it best herself . 
“If you had to name the devil for you, the biggest devil among them?” Sawyer followed up.

“That would be me,”Houston tellingly replied.     Rest in Peace Whitney.                                                                           

So typical – women want to be independent and treated equally and then, even in the face of an interview where she makes clear drugs were her decision, people still say the woman must have been coerced by an evil man. Learn to take responsibility for your own action women. Look how silly you really are, and women wonder why no one still takes them seriously? LOL

As a handwriting expert I looked at Whitney’s handwriting. There was a quality similar to Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and others that were icons that died too young. Only 99c

Houston Handwriting Report

It wasn’t up to anyone to help Houston but Houston.  She’d been in rehab and it didn’t work for her.  She herself said thirty days of rehab wasn’t enough, and then did nothing to get into a lengthier rehab stay.  And she wasn’t “gone too soon.”  If you believe that everyone’s days are numbered, her number was up.  It doesn’t matter how she died, in that case.  Her life run was over.

This is precisely why I always get a receipt from my drug dealers.  So when Diane Sawyer says, “You spent $730,000 on drugs last year,” I have the receipt that proves it’s only $690,000.

Yes…we mustn’t forget our compassionate American Drug Cartels, and their countless vendors.  Doctors(dealers with degrees), of every size, shape and ethnic background, who eagerly dispense chemical concoctions made from the finest lethal ingredients money can buy.  They even have their own bible (the PDR), and if you want to see a rainbow with a pot of gold…they have just the poison for you.  For a poor, but accurate portrayal of the Hollyweird way of doing things, watch Valley of the Dolls.  These predators, rank with the worst of the worst, and get away with their crimes against humanity.  Michael Jackson’s, Dr Jekyll got a slap on the hand, as most in the pill peddling profession do.  Unless, you are a street peddler…in which case you can multiply your sentence fourfold.  Count the drug commercials on television in any given hour, and watch how cleverly they are conditioning you and your children to become dependent on their untested cures.  And be sure to listen to the disclaimers, heart attack, constipation, dizziness, dry mouth, seizures…and on and on and on.  Hey!  While you are at it, check your own medicine cabinet and seriously inventory what the hell you are doing with all these transient remedies?

An extraordinary person with more than extraordinary talent lived an extraordinary life and died prematurely…

All kinds of anonymous, ordinary yet irrelevant people will continue posting their opinion about Witney Houston on this site — from their judgmental perspective.

No one will every match the powerful talent this woman had.  Her lung power and liquid voice was incredible.  When she was young, she looked and sung like an angel.  No one will match her in the future either.  She was a beautiful spirit that never should have allowed that scum Brown into her life.

“Women wonder why no one takes them seriously?”  Do you just hang out with guys?

Way to snarkily respond to the statement w/o negating the obviously correct point it makes. I love being so right all the time. So easy.  Waaaaaaa, poor Whitney, she should never have married Bobby Brown, waaaaaa. NO – she should never have chosen to use drugs.

 I read your comment about Adele.

It’s a bit disarming to consider the possibility that she too could fall victim to the pitfalls of fame and the constant pressure to stay on top.

Hopefully she can retain that wonderfully unfiltered and unpretentious sweetness. Her vocal gifts are amazing.

Bobby Brown was the beginning of her undoing.  It’s all played out on tape.  Just observe Whitney in her videos BEFORE she met Brown.  Whitney was spiritually grounded, confident, secure, with a loving family.  She was at her best.  And then Bobby Brown happened.  He fully took advantage of her and her vulnerabilities.  Whitney had weaknesses, as we all do.  But she & Bobby couldn’t have been more different in their backgrounds, where they came from, how they grew up, in their careers…completely mismatched couple.  Brown went so much as to literally SPIT on Whitney.  He was a total jerk, and never knew to respect her.  Personally, I think he kept putting Whitney down in order to make himself feel brought up—- more than he actually was or ever could be.  Envy, jealousy of his wife’s superior talents, etc.   Whitney out-classed him, and Bobby Brown’s inferiority complex just couldn’t take it.    

Little Bobbi Kristina is a gift, to be sure.  Because God makes no mistakes.   SHE is who’s on my mind now.  May God bless her.

Hey numb nuts, in case you were wondering, the two people you posted your ludicrous reply to have male names. So before you go off and bash women, take note to who you are replying too if YOU want to be taken seriously…dork.

LOL, another 3rd grade, angry, bitter response by a libtard who is upset that I think women should be able to make their own choices w/o blaming men if they go wrong. The guy in your avatar is a moron and so are you.

I think the most disturbing moment of the interview (not shown in the segment above) is that Diane Sawyer asks for a 10 year projection from Whitney….which would be the year 2012….

I am sick and tired of reading about people saying that Bobby Brown turned Whitney into a drug addict.  Whitney was her own person first and foremost, she was a strong  independent woman with a mind of her own.  She knew that Bobby was not a saint before they dated so she knew what she was getting when she took him on.  During that period of time the old white powder was the “rich folks” choice of illegal substance she was not forced into taking it but as we all know once you take that first hit then 99.9% of people are hooked.  How do we know that she was not already taking it before getting with Bobby?…we only know what they (media, publicist) want us to know until it gets to the point where the person involved goes past the point of caring and does not bother who knows what.  Whitney was then strong enough to then call time of the marriage and strong enough to go into rehab not once but twice and yes she was strong enough that the was on an even keel to getting back to some form of her old self that we all know her for.  End of the day it was not the old charlie that killed her but pills prescribed by her GP and alcohol.  End of the day we all have to leave this planet at some time as we are only given a ticket for a short ride but Whitney’s ride was abruptly halted way too early.  I only hope that people will remember Whitney first and foremost as a mother, a beautiful human being who was able to fight her way out of darkness for the sake of not only herself but also her only child, a woman whose talent can never be matched by anyone else no matter how good they are, a woman whose music plays a part in everyone’s life whether it be one song or a whole heap of her songs.  Whitney was human and prone to mistakes like everybody else the only problem was that hers were made public.  May she now rest in peace and bring joy and happiness to those in the land of paradise, she was a blessing from God and will always be remembered and loved by those of us who are her true fans and never shunned her in her bad times and supported her in her good times.  RIP WHITNEY, gone but never ever will be forgotten.

We pray God to give us GOOD END when it comes to death. Sorry for the comment, Whitney started well from church to a super star and finally BAD END in life. R.I.P.

Maybe so. But on the ‘Bobby Brown’s to blame’ meme – look, there are women who are really into the ‘bad boy’ thing. That big smile suggests mischief & self-awareness of it being there & WANTING to indulge it (as opposed to self-control). It’s not so much what O’Reilly has been on about, suicide; it’s closer to something like no limits impulsiveness, while being prepared not to blame others for the consequences.

How so “BAD” an “END”? She died unconscious in a tub – unconscious. Many many have died fully conscious, in enormous agony. Tortured, at the stake, eaten alive, choked to death, asthma attack, drowned from sucking water, struck in the legs by a car then hurled in the air, landing hard, breaking things & left to die slow, shot in action, shot by accident, guts blown out by an IED, hung, strangled, cut up, renal failure, heart failure, lung failure, brain disease – all things considered, since it ENDs for us all, I’m not convinced her end was particularly or definitively “BAD”.  

that’s not true. u cant blame him she is responsible just like he is. also she no right from wrong stop making excuses and jus learn from them. you got people 13 and older reading this let them no jus because you was invited to do so soent mean you have to do it. im 17 years old AND HAVE NVR SMOKE OR DRUNK AND I HAVE BEEN AFFORD PLENTY OF TIMES. she had her own life to live she didnt let him stop her form making money so he didnt make her take does drugs. REALITY IS THE KEY TO LIFE ON THE REAL NOTE!!!! CUZ U RLLI DNT KNOW HER PASS LYK U THINK U DO SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SMOKING AND JUS GOT HEAVIER WIT BOBBY U DNT KNOIF HE RLLI MADE HER START.. JUS SAYING

I’ve never seen this interview, though I’d heard about it. And frankly, I probably never would have watched it if she hadn’t died. But yes, that line — where she identifies herself as her own devil — is poignant and touching indeed. And desperately sad. 

Clearly, everyone argues over Bobby Brown’s role in all this. And it’s sure he had one. But in the end, Whitney and others are right… she did this to herself. That’s an important distinction, not to punish Whitney, but because of others who need to come to the same realization that they have to take responsibility for their own actions, preferably before they become a news story or the subject of an autopsy report. 

I never really listened to her music, I know she was successful and threw that all away, and I know she did it to herself, but I feel for Whitney. I really do. How terrible it must have been to fall so far and so publicly. How ashamed she must have been. And how powerless she must have felt, trying to turn things right again… and failing as she ultimately did.

One can only imagine the desperate thoughts that crossed her mind in whatever her last cognitive moment might have been. How sad and disgusted and frightened she must have felt.

This isn’t empathy reserved for a star, either, but for the thousands who don’t have the celebrity she did but find themselves in the same situation. I know of these people, this person… drinking into an abyss and aware that’s what’s happening, taking Xanax to fend of her shame and depression, and probably lying to the doctor who’s prescribing it for her. Her moment is coming too, and we’re around her praying it won’t be an echo of Houston’s… while wondering ourselves what we can do to prevent it.
