Since this thread essentially duplicated the earlier "RIP Whitney Houston" thread created by Kraichgauer, I've moved the posts from that thread into this one.

She looked like she was feeling really bad, maybe a kidney or liver problem? Maybe there is more to this than the public knows? She didn't look well in the photos I saw. At least now, there is no more pain.

I was a fan of hers for a while in the 80's but her rendition of I will always love you ....gives me goosebumps.
I have thought many times than she ruined her life when she married Bobby Brown...he held her back with his jealousy and probably played a part in her drug addiction.
Sometimes I can hear the little girl in her in some songs like "just wanna dance with somebody (who loves me)"

I hear her daughter who was very close to her is having a real hard time and they think she is suicidal.

Rip to one of the most beautiful voices that graced this earth
peace to her family

the heart is a lonely hunter, and her heart had the bad fortune of being lovemapped to that guy.

Been there, done that before. Luckily enough in my case, my lovemap eventually led to my wife.

mine led to suzie silicone. anyways, i see parallels between ms. houston and demi moore, in that both of them were busy trying to drown out father time and mother nature.

My lovemap (so far) has lead me to the all-consuming Nothing...not even silicone suzie...or plasto blasto for that matter. If my libido was a buddhist, it would have achieved non-attachment, thus would not reincarnate.

Anyway, I hope in her next life, Whitney will retain her voice and learn from this life to avoid emotional vampires. I hope Bobby is not allowed at the funeral, I partially blame him for her drug addiction, thus her death, however dysfunctional that thinking is.

apparently Bobby Brown was invited, but was not made welcome. They made him move 3 times and would not let him see Bobbi Kristina
Then Al Sharpton made it look like Bobby Brown was trying to draw attention to himself.
A little tension there huh??

I never heard about Whitney Houston's passing until my family told me, and I was in confusion and disbelief. I also watched her funeral on TV with my dad and step-mom, and it was sad for her to pass away because of the drugs. Although she passed away, her music and voice still lives on.

Whitney Houston will be missed.

Some reason the best of the best in music industry die drugged up to the gills, I keep wondering how her life would have been different if she had not gone down that path.

Fortunately for fans, Whitney's spirit has found a host in a Taiwanese boy.

Can't say I am even familiar with her music...it is sad when people die, but at the same time I am sure she had some enjoyment of life and everyone dies someday. I guess I don't typically get super emotional about deaths of people I've never met, then I did not get very sad about my great grandma either....didn't know her too well though.
