It's a shame but that's what comes of trying to rid the world of cocaine single handed.

You're all very quick to blame drugs for her death. It could have been a dodgy Pot Noodle. They're highly toxic if you don't follow the instructions accurately. Fill to the line, and use a stopwatch to time how long before you stir, then replace lid etc...

Pot Noodle might have been her drug

T'was on the beeb at 2.30 this morning. Was gonna mention it but didn't think it worthwhile - yet another spoilt, selfish, talented etc person throws it all away; they have only themselves to blame. She could prob lay a bit at Bobby Brown's feet. Missus saw her in cioncert and she didn't come back for an encore, so clearly didn't think much of her fans.

Correct, though "Its not right, but its ok" if you eat it slightly under time.

Talented not really, have you never heard her sing live, thoughts to the family and all that.

We were at friends for dinner last night and caught the tail-end of the Jonathan Ross show where Dionne Warwick (Whitneys aunt) was singing.

We were talking about how classy Dionne was and how sad it was that Whitneys life had spun out of control. The comment was made that she probably didn't have long to go given her lifestyle.

What a waste!


PS - Simon, you're right insofar that her more recent live performances were shambolic, but when that girl was in her prime, boy could she belt out a tune!

my god she's still warm and there hitting my phone.

Whitney Houston won an impressive six grammy's in fourteen years
Slightly less impressive was her recent attempt at six grammes in fourteen minutes !!
it just goes to prove Kevin Costner your a poo bodyguard

I saw her 20 years ago at Wembley areana, she could certainly sing then....

Of course it's a shame when anyone die's, but along with the so called other "celebrity rubbish" you hear about these days they live a drug fueled life, make millions of dollers and then die. Are they talented?, take away the sound engineers, make artists and marketing would they be that good. as far as I concerned there will now be one less rubbish singer being produced and the only downside is all the in memory airplay of previous awful noise she has made past decades.

I just think her death is sad...

I can only compare her fame to that of Daniel Radcliff (Harry Potter) - he was featured in Radio Times recently. Immensely famous, hugely rich, but has his feet squarely on the ground. When he did the movies he was treated as a child actor, not an adult (as the Americans tend to do). When he was a kid he had great fun, but wasn't treated as a "star". So he grew up reasonably sensible.

Too many American stars are pushed too fast and believe their own publicity, and can't cope with the inevitable decline when they're no longer number one. Look at Judy Garland... burnt out when still a teenager.

And in my opinion its all because someone behind them is more interested in exploiting the next big thing to line their own pockets than the best interests of the "star".

Money corrupts everything.

Another reason to why Locostbuilders collective should rule the world.

Never forgave her for murdering one of Dolly's finest.
