What, she's dead?

[ItsSeflol]

Can't believe she lived this long.
So I won't.

[Ploid]

Omg she's dead? Nooooooo9ooo

[ItsSeflol]

What's wrong with you I say you she dea.

[Ploid]

Home now, just looked it up on google. Dang She's really dead. She was young, I liked the younger WH, I don't know what happened to her (Drugs? Horrible influence boyfriend?). Sucks.

I Will Always Love You (classic)
I Wanna Dance With Somebody
I'm Your Baby Tonight
How Will I Know
I Believe In You And Me
Exhale (Shoop Shoop)

She did so many songs back in the day. Memorable stuff for me. Don't know about you guys, but I think she had a awesome voice. I remember thinking about what happened to her. She seemed to suddenly stop being on the radio/concert and in movies.

[ItsSeflol]

Other than The Bodyguard I think of her on coke getting her ass beat by Bobby.

[Dhiloda]

They should charge Bobby for her death. I don't know how she died, but I'm sure Bobby was at least indirectly the cause. She would have lived at least another 25 years without knowing him.

Yeah screw that guy, Whitney seem like she was a sweet girl when she was young. Didn't the dude have a reality show or something?

Youtube should be a museum

This song is deep in my memory for some reason. I think it was probably played at a lot of my kindergarden level events or something. It's in a old old part of my memory which very nostalgic.

Greatest Love Of All

She should have told this to Brown. Probably did and just got back with him though
It's Not Right But It's Okay 1999

Edit: Thinking about it, I don't think anyone can sing as good as she did. Now it's all show, and flashy popstars. Mariah

Is this her last song?

I Look To You

[Yorke]

maybe she died like 2 years ago and they just found her

[Ploid]

She was at the pre grammys party yesterday. Grammys are tomorrow, so I guess today they are changing things around to honor her. :\ Also apparently she was with Ray J lol.

Mariah Carey ft Whitney Houston When You Believe (Prince of Egypt song)

Good thing Mariah is healthy.

My sister posted something along the lines of "Who cares if she's dead, she sang a few "horrifying" hits years ago. Did she have any good effect on the world? No. She was a crack head who used to be able to carry a tune. We haven't lost anything of value, enough said" (not word for word but close enough)

So!
Questions for Ploid:
(You seem to be the only person here that sounds "sad" about her death, anyone can/should answer if they want to though)

1) Is your attachment to the songs she sang and/or the memories you associate with them or the fact that she is the one who sang them?
2) If it is a personal attachment because of a memory/event associated with a song do you think her death is still "sad"?
3) Do you feel the world has lost a special someone or just another former star that pissed away their fortune and wound up dead a bit earlier than they otherwise would have had they been able to control themselves?

She was probably never going to sing as good as she used to. I don't think her old songs were bad at all (sis may be downplaying, WH was huge), though I guess it's like me saying I don't think metal music or country music is special. To me it's a shame her talents were wasted the way she wasted it. She had truck loads, the range in her singing and how she controlled it can't be denied. I wasn't a fan (not a fan of any musician/band/singer), I just remember her songs, and went through youtube.

Maria's voice couldn't keep up with Whitney's it seem. Christina is usually about that loud high pitch. Whitney could do it all. Sing master.

Also people post stuff like that on facebook all the time anonymity and all that, or trying to be witty. Whitney did good before she fell, she sang a lot of positive inspirational stuff from what I'm seeing and remember (didn't know she sang some stuff that I knew about). The position she was in seems great but it seems to do more harm than good.

Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase,” he explains. “And once you’ve had success, you have to keep having it in order not to be a failure. In business, you can have one massive success that earns $50 million overnight, and that’s it. You’re successful. End of story. But in the music business, you have to keep on doing it. You have to constantly chase success. The fame you just get. I enjoy being famous, because I don’t have to do anything. I can just turn up at nice restaurants and people are like, ‘Oh, it’s Noel fucking Gallagher. Brilliant. Sit down.’ But success can ruin people, because you have to chase it, and that can drive you insane. You can get obsessed with the idea of a formula, and you start wondering, ‘Why did I sell 20 fucking million albums in less than two years during the ’90s, but now I can’t sell 20 million albums over the span of 10 years after the turn of the century?’ And it’s not like I sit around thinking about that, but it’s always there. And when you start really chasing success, you start to make mistakes, and that’s when things spin out of fucking control.

1) Is your attachment to the songs she sang and/or the memories you associate with them or the fact that she is the one who sang them?
I'm looking at it as a show of skills. Girl could sing and I'm impressed.

2) If it is a personal attachment because of a memory/event associated with a song do you think her death is still "sad"?
I'm not really sad about her death, I just think she was too young, and really screwed up. Also she friggin blew her talent, no one else is really controlling their voice like she could. Waste

3) Do you feel the world has lost a special someone or just another former star that pissed away their fortune and wound up dead a bit earlier than they otherwise would have had they been able to control themselves?
The world is searching for new singers all the time, but if they even find one they may have her doing Britney stuff and limit her abilities. Unless she just does opera and stick to low paying stuff.

I hear Adele is a good singer, haven't listened to her much. Fever Pitch right? That sounded great, also that Korean girl that sung it that Sureaboutthis linked did it awesomely.

My views of society today.
"Man, Whitney Houston died."
"I know I'm going to pretend that I intentionally listened to her in the past ten years and act like she's my favourite ever!"
"Remember to tweet that!"

[Yorke]

I never really listened to her ;/

[Dhiloda]

Anyone else die recently? Rule of 3.

I don't really pay attention to celebs. Most could die without me knowing.

[Bodycount]

I was gonna say Hitchens, but he died on Dec 15th
someone famous must have died...
