Title: Whitney Houston Dies.
Post by: albitz on 12 February 2012, 01:05:59
Died aged 48. Too young to go,and although not my type of music,undeniably a very big talent which was wasted by drug misuse in later years. Whatever the circumstances, a terrible shame. :(

Best me to it there pal. Have to agree with your sentiments, and still no idea of the circumstances.

Well that answered a question, Dionne Warwick was on Jonathon Ross and I thought it was her who had the drug addiction but you've reminded me it was Whitney Houston. I knew it was a good singer who had problems but got the wrong one.

To echo others - RIP Whitney :'(

It is sad & I do mean it, but I don't have any sympathy for the likes of her as they have the world at their feet, she was so so talented & beautiful had bundles of cash so no worries like the rest of us have, she could do what ever her heart desired & when ever she wanted to, but instead she snorts charlie smokes crack & god knows what else.
I keep hearing on the TV & radio that people turn to drugs as they hate their lives no job or prospects even no roof over their heads but she didn't fall in to any of those, & if her life was so bad then quit don't tour or record just sit back & enjoy your what she worked so hard for in the first place.

Rant over :D

I think for people from my generation, like her music or not, she was part of those impressionable mid/late teenage years.

Amy Winehouse,Whitney Houston ...i can see it being a tough year for columbia  ;)


Karl, your a bad man  ;D ;D ;D

I wondered why the radio was playing all her stuff again  ::)

Oh well, another one who couldn't handle life without sticking something up her nose or down her throat  :(

Shame she's gone.
She really made her mark in the mid 80's when I was on the prowl round the disco's of the day.

One hell of a voice she had but was sadly looseing it over the past few years  :(

Oh well, thats Amy Winehouse now Whitney.

Who's next ?
Title: Re: Whitney Houston Dies.
Post by: feeutfo on 12 February 2012, 13:13:20
Hell of a voice, which btw I couldn't bare to listen to tbh. But clearly massively talented.
Rip Whitney. :(

Exceptional talent and one of the best voices I've ever heard, another wasted life, in the most dangerous profession in the world. RIP Whitney.  :(

Sad loss indeed. Unfortunately I think she fell under the bad influence of Bobby Brown and has been on a slippery slope ever since - such a shame.

Quite so FF - but then such news is quite rightly buried deep on the inside pages to make room for that of the demise of such a lauded celebrity.

The scenes of apparent grief displayed by the great and the good at the recent Grammy bash (always a splendid display of intense self-regard by the assembled 'right-on' luminaries) were indulgent, bordering on the obscene.

Agreed Den, couldn't stand her myself, but a huge talent whatever I think. Bit late for the celebs to be jumping on the bandwagon now

Thelma, and Cissy Houston had talent

Bobby Brown was her husband from around 1992 to 2006. He was a pretty good singer himself and had quite a few hits such as Two Can Play That Game and My Perogative. However, he was often in trouble with the law for drugs and violence and I guess inevitably Whitney was dragged down with him.

Cheers Bob I 've never heard of him, I'm sixties soul dinosaur. :y :y
It is often the case where one partner has that effect on the other, Kate Moss and that little junkie waste of space she used to knock about with is a case in point.

It's sad to hear, although if it was indeed drug use then to be honest I have no sympathy.
