We don’t know yet if it was drug related but she ruined herself over drugs.
I think this is such a shame on so many levels after years of loving her voice. And that National Anthem at the start of the Gulf War at the Super Bowl (1991?)ranks the best ever sang by anyone.
She had it all and threw it all away. Listening to her trying to sing after her comeback last year was just painful. She threw it all away for drugs.
God Bless America

I hope this thread lasts longer than the other 3 (at least) that have been pulled. Shame, shame, shame on FReepers tonite! :~(( If people don’t haven’t anything nice or decent to say about Whitney Houston, they should keep it to themselves!
She was a great talent. I was hoping she would make a triumphant comeback after she left Bobby Brown. RIP.
Bobby Brown destroyed her. Of all the people in the world, she had to choose this scumbag. Very, very sad. If she had chosen better, like Tina Turner after she dumped Ike Turner, she’d be in clover today, instead of pushing up daisies.
Old Chinese story, applying to drugs as well, and on faster timetable for women:
Man takes a drink
Drink takes a drink
Drink takes the man
Just like Amy Winehouse, if it isn’t from natural causes - I’m sad to say ...
Fashion Police weren’t too kind to her today on E!
Great voice:

RIP, Whitney.
Such a waste.
May Whitney Houston RIP.
Here is how the news should go*****
Coke whore Whitney Houston dies at 48, news at eleven, now back to regular programming.
Yes, she could really sing. What a waste.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Amazing voice, just amazing range....what a shame.
She began her career in the church choir, maybe she is at peace now.
Let’s be fair, we don’t know the cause of death, and the greatest ever singer might be some opera diva, not a pop celebrity, known for being known, and for drug use.
Addiction is such a tragic beast. May she be at peace.
too young :(
prayers for her loved ones
Rest in peace Whitney.
MTV actually interrupted Jersey Shore to show Whitney Houston videos.
Took several years for her to kill herself. She must have had a good family and or base of support to keep alive that long. Hope she rests in peace.
