I'm still in shock. I love her music. I bought her last album in support of her trying to make her comeback. She had a voice which could move the earth. Be in peace now Whitney.

According to our sources ... Bobbi was taken out of the Beverly Hilton, where Whitney died yesterday, on a stretcher.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ police and fire responded to a call for a medical emergency, but would not confirm who was transported.
As TMZ first reported, Bobbi Kristina got into an angry shouting match last night with police officers outside the hotel room where her mother was found dead

I still can't believe it's true. It's terrible, it's wrong that so young, talented and beautiful people passed away too soon. I feel so sad and so sorry for Whitney's daughter. Rest in Peace Whitney!
I hope somebody finally would kick Brown's ass for all that he's done to Whitney

THE WORLD MOURNS THE DEATH OF WHITNEY HOUSTON
We are saddened to learn of the unexpected and untimely passing of Whitney Houston yesterday just hours before the music community was to come together and honor her at Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party. Instead those in attendance joined together to celebrate her life and the gifts she left behind. Her legacy is the amazing body of work she left behind. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and the friends who must now cope with the loss of somebody they love.

I also find the media treatment and people's speculations quite disrespectful.It happens with many celebrities,they put a label on them and dehumanize them to the point of cruelty.And people feed into this,I see it in my home and they don't consume gossip news,they just believe whatever is on TV or a magazine and go with that.
I found an article I wanted to share though :
Kelly Price Remembers Whitney Houston
On Thursday night, just two days before her death, Whitney Houston showed up at R&B singer Kelly Price's pre-Grammy celebration. The two old friends even sang a duet of "Yes, Jesus Loves Me."
Talking to Rolling Stone last night, Price – who was clearly struggling to control her emotions before succumbing to tears near the end of the interview – said that the song was a fitting one.
"She’s a church girl, she related to the church girl in me. I’m a church girl, I related to the church girl in her," Price said. "And at the end of the day, whatever was going on, our conversation could always go back to the foundation of our lives, starting out singing in church. And no matter what was going on we could always go back to that."
One of the reasons Price wanted to speak under the difficult circumstances was to address resurfacing rumors surrounding Houston's problems with addiction. Price wanted to talk about the Houston she saw Thursday night, not the troubled diva depicted in the media in recent years. The specific circumstances of Houston's death are still unknown, but reports surfaced Sunday that the singer may have drowned in the bathtub. Law enforcement officials at the scene Saturday evening said there was "nothing obvious at this time" for cause of death and ruled out foul play. Houston had been attending out-patient rehab program in May 2009 for drug and alcohol treatment.
"Things people want to allude to are not what I saw," Price said. "There was no craziness going on, absolutely none of it. It was a great musical event. And honestly, I’m saying it because her daughter was there with her, my two children were there with me. It was an atmosphere that lent itself to being okay for our kids to be there. So that’s what was going on."
What Price saw instead was a close friend celebrating music and having a good time. "She came down, and we had a ball like we always do," Price said. "We laughed, danced, sang and cried and talked about the stuff that we talk about – the kids, life outside of the business. It was good, she was good. It was great, she had a good time, she was happy and that was all night long,"
For Price, Houston's generous spirit is what she'll remember most about the singer. "She was not just a phenomenal singer, she was an amazing person. She was very giving, she would give you her last," she told us. "And the way we were with each other on Thursday night is the way she absolutely deserves to be remembered, celebrating somebody else because she loved them and she wasn’t afraid to put somebody else forward."
Houston often advised her friend on how to survive the industry. "She’s told me what pitfalls to watch out for, how to keep from falling into certain traps, about how this business can just tear you apart if you let it."
Price said Houston imparted to her the importance of keeping a healthy balance between work and family. "She told me, 'Do whatever you can to maintain normalcy at home. Do whatever you can to be there with your family, keep your family around you. Don’t let this business define who you are at home, don’t let it become your everything because this wonderful gift that we have will also, if you’re not careful, and you allow the business to consume every area of your life, it will tear you apart.'"
That Houston tried to keep a peer from suffering through some of the same issues she had was one reason Price called her a friend. "I want people to know she cared about people, she loved people, she loved me, she cared about me," she said.
"She showed up to that party on Thursday night not as a diva. She came and sat in the background and watched me shine. She pushed me to shine. That’s the Whitney I know, that’s who they need to understand she was," Price told us.
"I worked with a lot of artists. She is probably the only one that just without any selfishness at all would push me," Price said. "She wanted me to be heard, she wanted me to be seen. And on Thursday night she said to me, 'I am proud of you. I’m proud of you.' And that means so much because I understood what that meant."
Price continued, remarking on Houston's willingness to help a fellow musician and her desire to connect. "It wasn’t just about the Grammys, it was about knowing that through it all, things that she told me, I took heed of them and I believe that there are even some things she might have fallen prey to and some pitfalls she experienced throughout her life and her career," she said.
"[Houston's] goal in advising me was to keep me from having to face the same issues as her or the same problems," Price said. "And I heard her when she talked to me, and I took it to heart. It wasn’t about being proud of an achievement, it was because she understood that I heard her and I took to heart what she said."

Whitney Houston Autopsy Completed, Results Pending Toxicology
The autopsy of Whitney Houston is complete, TMZ has learned, but the results will be deferred pending a toxicology report.
According to our sources, a cause of death cannot be determined until the toxicology results ... which typically takes 4-6 weeks.
As TMZ first reported ... although the cause of death is unknown, it is increasingly looking like Whitney may have fallen asleep or lapsed into unconsciousness in the bathtub and drowned.
We're told Whitney had been drinking the night before and authorities believe a combination of Xanax and alcohol could have fatally sedated her -- although our sources say it is simply too early to draw any firm conclusions.

This is what was on CBS Sunday Morning (this morning...sorry I got his name wrong earlier Bill Flanagan is the correction)
CBS News)
Singer Whitney Houston died yesterday at the age of 48. She leaves a significant musical legacy. An appreciation, now from our Bill Flanagan of MTV:
Whitney Houston died yesterday. She was scheduled to appear at Clive Davis's annual pre-Grammy party last night.
When I heard that I thought, well, she must have been putting on her public face and summoning the strength to go out there again and live up to all the expectations.
She'd been doing that pretty much her whole life.
Whitney was still a teenager when the buzz in New York music circles became, "Have you heard Cissy Houston's daughter? She's an incredible singer - she's the most beautiful woman you ever saw! She's going to be huge!".
And this was BEFORE she ever made a record.
From the time Whitney was a kid, she was the object of enormous expectations. And you know what? She lived up to them all.
Her voice contained gospel, soul, rock and pop. It was a young voice, an old voice - it was timeless.
Like Elvis, like Sinatra, she could elevate a mediocre song by her taste, her virtuosity, and by the conviction she brought to each performance.
And when she got her chops around a GOOD song? The heavens opened.
Whitney Houston was a public figure her whole adult life. She battled her demons in the public eye. Today, everyone will praise her. Tonight at the Grammys, she will be paid tribute. In the next few days she will be eulogized. That's as it should be, she deserves it.
But wouldn't it be great if all of us could then leave it at that? Let's ignore the gossip press and scandal media that will try to exploit her memory now that she can't defend herself.
Whitney Houston touched millions of us, but she does not belong to us. She was someone's daughter. She was someone's mother. Her memory, like her love, belongs to them.
The rest of us will always have her music.
When the eulogies have ended, let's let Whitney Houston rest in peace.

I heard on CNN that she wasn't allowed to see her mom. Seems cruel, perhaps there was a reason, idk.

Geez, this thread keeps moving.
Anyways, so many people are hurt on so many different levels because of Whitney's death.
It will "sting" for a very long time. I can only imagine what her family must be going thru.
I hope Bobbi Kristina is doing better. I feel for her so much.
I think of Brandy. Brandy Norwood, too. Whitney is her idol.
I remember how elated she was when she talked about being in the movie
"Cinderella" with Whitney. It was a dream come true for the young entertainer.
She must be devastated that her idol, Whitney Houston, has died on her
birthday; February 11th. I know it's one she won't soon forget.
The music world will be in shock over this for a while.

I am devastated. I can't believe she's gone too. An amazing woman, with the most magnificent voice. Such an incredible talent.
I still got the tape I bought as a kid, Whitney, that I used to have on repeat with True Blue and Off the Wall.
I hope her daughter and mum will be OK.

Me too. I know she was troubled for a part of her life, and I think that's the reason I feel saddened by the whole thing. I never feel sad when happy people die. But for some reason when someone who was deeply hurt dies, it just affects me in a way. I have no idea why, but it makes me sad to think of how young she was, and how much pain she was in throughout much of her life. And how talented she was--but a voice like that, with such emotion and soul, always comes at a price.

Same for me about Michael. To me the saddest thing is not that he died, because eventually we all will. It's more the fact he was treated the way he was while he lived. That's what makes me sad and angry. If someone dies after a happy and fulfilled life the goodbye is still sad, but not as sad when someone got tortured in life and then dies.

^^Totally agree too. It's not just the young age, but the sadness in their life that makes it too hard to bear. Found this quote on a news website which i found a little comforting -
'We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.' Author, chuck palahnik.
There's a really sweet video of mj and whitney at the end of the grammys in '89. There's a horrible ensemble of all the grammy stars doing a rendition of 'runaround sue' and mj and whitney are hiding at the back (blink and you miss them) having a real giggle with each other.

I feel sad for her and her family and her fans too. We know exactly how her fans are feeling right now. She was a true great. She had class and elegance too. Her and Michael had a lot of life to live. It was too soon for them. The media was just awful to them both. I am glad they were friends and supported each other.
I don't know why these things have to happen. It's so hard to understand it all.

I only wish people would have shown her the love and respect she deserved while she was still with us. Just like with MJ, they wait until they are gone and then it is too late. And sometimes it doesn't even stop the media from hurting those who passed and their family and friends. I've seen and heard things that are in very poor taste. For instance, they are showing Whitney's last impromptu performance and pictures of her Grammy partying just hours before her death and are using it as a weapon. They are trying to make her look bad and a hot mess because she was sweating - NEWS FLASH - Whitney Houston was always a profuse sweater. ALWAYS. Thankfully I did see Whit's friend, Kelly Price, defend her by saying they were dancing and having a good time for hours and she showed no signs of trouble. They ALL looked like they had been in a car wash. The media is so disgusting with their manipulation and twisting of the facts. As of right now, this looks to be a tragic accident. Whitney was relaxing in the tub and drifted off (Xanax use or not, it's LEGAL) and unfortunately slipped under the water and now we have lost a legendary vocalist like no other. Whitney Houston was the benchmark and always will be. In this time of terrible sorrow, we should be remembering her contributions and humanity - not the nitty gritty dirty details. It's too soon.
