Anyone know the info yet?

Couldn't believe your post, but I just searched her name, and yes, she did. What a shock. I guess we'll know the cause soon enough.

Your post is true. This is a loss to the music world.

A great talent, Niece of Dionne Warwick and Goddaughter of Aretha Franklin. The world is a poorer place without you. R.I.P.

No matter how she died, it's very tragic, I am sure, because she is way too young to be gone. I hope it wasn't a drug overdose. She was so beautiful, and I cannot think of anyone more talented.

I am still trying to get over the loss of Michael Jackson, my favorite performer of any. I loved his music, and the way he danced. So tragic...

Several posts that were in poor taste have been deleted - plus the responses.

Ride - knock it off...

R.I.P Whitney

A glorious voice I will remember.

The choir here is sad.

Thanks Denise - you're the bomb

Whitney was my most inspiring singer in my teenage time.

Since Ride erased his posts & pics, it's no valid anymore.

I took down Ride's posts - and the responses to them.

AP Newswire:
Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen told KABC-TV that Houston died in her room on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton. Her body remained in the hotel and Beverly Hills detectives were investigating.

Houston's publicist, Kristen Foster, said Saturday that the cause of her death was unknown.

Houston's death came on the eve of music's biggest night — the Grammy Awards. It's a showcase where she once reigned, and her death was sure to case a heavy pall on Sunday's ceremony.

My wife liked her music and went to see her in concert on time. She said it was the worst concert ever. Whitney changed all of her songs and didn't sing any song like she sang it on the album.

None the less, still a great loss to the music world.

How very sad and tragic.

How tragic...no matter what the cause...it is still a loss to the music industry.

The night before the Grammy's too.

I lived in Tahoe when I met her and Kevin Costner when they were filming The Bodyguard.

My very first CD ever was the Whitney Houston CD. I remember going to the mall with my dad (I think I was about 15) and spending an hour picking out the CD I wanted. I listened to it all the time for about 10 years. So sad!

Drug abuse = death

 

[Timeshare Von]

It was a shock when it scrolled across the TV tonight as breaking news. Very tragic and at way too young an age . . . regardless of the cause.

My fear is that if it was not the direct result of drugs and/or alcohol, it could be the residual from the years of addiction that she struggled with.

RIP Whitney!

Yes, I saw it on Yahoo. The twists and turns of her life were quite tragic over the last decade or so, that's for sure.

Returned from a memorial service this afternoon for a friend who died at age 40; collapsed at work and by the time someone found him it was too late.

Matt was a wonderful soul, whose focus in life was serving others and helping others. He went out of his way to be gentle and kind to my disabled son, and make my son feel important and needed. My son doesn't get much of that in his life - with his disabilities most people just ignore my son as much as they can.

In the service person after person got up and talked about Matt's kindness, generosity, and genuine spirit of caring for other people.

What I'm getting at is that I have a hard time getting overly worked about the death of some celebrity who is just that - a celebrity and that's all.

The deaths that are tragic are the ones where the person leaves a true void in a huge circle of lives - not just immediate family and friends.

Yes, its unfortunate that Whitney Houston died, and died relatively young. Yes there is pain and sorrow. But to me it's really not anything more than just another premature death; the fact that she was a celebrity neither adds to nor takes away from her death.

But Matt's death ... the world lost a man whose joy in life was making other people's lives better and who didn't expect anything back except for his joy in knowing that he helped. I would gladly trade fewer Whitneys for more Matts.

Very well said.

I mourn the tragic loss of children far more then a celebrity who OD's. Every time the story of the Powell boys comes up I have to turn the channel and I have cried a few times. I have 2 boys roughly the same age and to me that's by far more tragic then that of Whitney.

I watched the movie Bodyguard many times for both the songs, acting, and story line. That to me was my limited view of Whitney Houston - even though she hailed from New Jersey (as I).

Only 48 years old - and the older I get, the younger that age is to me.

She could have been so much more ---

Well said. I would only add this: when true heroes pass away at too young an age, it generally never makes headlines. That's the part that bugs me about some drugged out hag or a child molester getting all the sympathy & grief. Please..

Whitney of old, was the BEST female singer of our time... Drugs and Bobby Brown took over......CNN says a producer or someone high-up was one floor up from Whitney and heard 2 booming sounds and a man's voice... Where's Bobby? (What a low life)
