Whitney Houston is dead!

[Kathie in Thorp]

How sad. Very talented woman. Age 48. No details yet. But she had her demons . . . .

 

[TexasBred]

Was only a matter of time. So much talent too.

I remember going to see The Bodyguard at the theatre years ago. When the credits came up at the end I got up to leave but then she started to sing so I sat back down and listened. What a beautiful voice she had in her prime.

Here's another one that always stuck with me. Right after we went to war in the gulf.

She absolutely had "the voice," Van!

 

[James T]

No surprise on that one, given her lifestyle.

 

[MO_cows]

Really sad. A magnificant voice in her prime.

She can join the band with Hank, Elvis, Jimmy and the long line of others who had talent, fame and fortune but somehow it just wasn't enough.....

 

[3waycross]

Another waste of God's gifts. She had a choice every day of her life to be someone other than what she had let herself be. I have no sympathy for weak selfindulgent people.

 

[Alan]

It was all the news was about last night, had to turn it off after a couple of minutes. 48 is too young, no shock she's dead, what a waste of life ...... Her choices.

As someone who couldnt carry a tune in a bucket, I have always been envious of those who could. You cant learn it, you can hon it, but you have to be born with it. Thus I think it leads to the downfall of these folks. Most but not all, never have to get out and do a manual job, easy come easy go. They tend to be liberal in their political beliefs and are into drugs and alcohol....most I think are just bored....Really makes me appreciate my friend G.S., fella who knows what it is to break a sweat and dig a post hole, and has no wish to go back unless its to work for himself.

 

[bigbull338]

she had talant but lost it years ago.but the sad thing is she lived hard an died hard.had everything she could want an threw it away.

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

houstoncutter, would that be the same G.S. I'm thinking of?

Yea, knew him poor and broke like the rest of us

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

He's always been one of my favorites. I remember going to a Bobby Bare concert at Billy Bob's in the early 80s and G.S. was the opening act. Didn't take long before he was the headliner everywhere he went.

She had a beautiful voice,I'll give her that. But at 48 years old her death was certainly of her choosing.

Cal

Her death likely happened because of choices she made. But pretty sure she didn't think the choices she made would cause her death. And that's how those happen . . . .

No body else made her make them choices so it had to be hers.Plain and simple.

No real argument there, Cal. I think that's what I said.

 

[VanC]

Well, I'm gonna wait and see what the cause of death is before I get too judgemental. Might have had nothing to do with her "choices". Latest rumor is she was found submerged in the bathtub. For all we know she may have fallen, hit her head and then drowned.

You quite the optimist. She either ODed or BB killed her.

 

[Jim62]

I can not believe the amount of time that is given to her death on the "mainstream media". :???:

Probably rivals the Kennedy assassination.

Sign of the times, I suppose......
