Omigod, Whitney Houston is dead
No details as of cause yet @ 8:34 pm EST.
Damn this year has started off terribly.
My condolences to her family and her daughter. May God bless her soul . R.I.P.
Yeah I'm very saddened by this but not surprised. As I posted a few weeks ago on this forum, many people, including Cissy Houston, tried to intervene many times. It is not officially known what the cause of death was, but I don't think it's a mystery. What a voice, what a talent--when I heard that note she hit in I Will Always Love You I was floored.
Whiteny Houston the greatest voice in contemporary music will not be erased from
the public for some time. I cannot believe it the three cycle of death is complete Etta James, Don Corenlius and Whiteny. The cause of her death has not been announced as of 8:30 est her body
was still in the hotel room under investigation. The movie "Sparkle" which she stars will be a huge hit.
There are no words.... A voice like that will be appreciated long after we're all gone from this earth. My prayers go out to her mother and family....
I am still in shock. I have no words. Please pray for her daughter.

She's home now.
i wonder if Whitney will receive a huge tribute for the Grammy Ceremony on the very night Diana is to receive her honor intersting to say the least. thanks for posting these video on Whitney Jobetrob.
I would think the prudent thing to do at the Grammy's would be to develop the best and most inspirational tribute to Whitney that they can manage under such a short time frame, but still have everything else they were planning to do also, and just say to hell with rules, regulations, time frame, sponsorship, etc. If the show goes an hour overboard, who cares? As much as she will deserve whatever is done or said in her honor, the other honorees who may have waited a lifetime for their big moment would certainly not deserve to have their time in the spotlight cut short or eliminated.
R.I.P. Whitney
It's looking like she drowned in her own bathtub and was taking "prescription drugs"

Has Bobby Brown issued a statement? Not that I care about him.
I don't think so--not yet. Does anyone even know where he is? Not that I care, either
Whitney Houston was the greatest female vocalist of my lifetime. I thank God he loaned her to us....the World!
Bobby Brown was scheduled to appear with New Edition last night in either Memphis or Mississippi. Reports are that he is devasted and in crying fits. He broke down on stage last night telling the audience that he loved them and "I love you Whitney". It has also been reported that he spoke with his daughter Bobbi Chris who is in LA and she is understandably unconsoliable at this time. My sincere condolences go out to her mother, Cissy Houston, Sonny [[Gary) her brother, Bobbi Chris, Dionne Warwick and to Bobby Brown.

Whitney Houston's death could have been the result of drowning in the bathtub, reports have revealed.
The legendary singer was pronounced dead in a fourth-floor hotel room on Saturday afternoon, with no immediate apparent cause of death. Beverly Hills Police Department's Lt Mark Rosen revealed that there were "no obvious signs of criminal intent" at a press conference shortly afterwards.
US website TMZ are now reporting that prescription drugs were found in the star's room, with "various pill bottles" spotted.
An insider also told the publication that when Emergency Medical Technicians arrived at the scene "Whitney's body was already removed from the bathtub so it will take an autopsy to determine if she OD'd, drowned or died from some other cause".
There is no evidence to suggest Whitney was drinking alcohol in the room.
The 48-year-old musical icon was removed from the hotel room on a gurney and will now be taken to the morgue for an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Whitney had a celebrated career in the 80s and 90s but later hit headlines for her tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown and her battle with drugs.
She had one child, daughter Bobbi Kristina, 18, from her union with the singer.
TMZ have also reported that Bobbi got into an "angry shouting match" with police officers outside the hotel room where her mother was found. Law enforcement sources say the teen "showed up on the 4th floor of the Beverly Hilton several hours after Whitney's death."
When officers denied access to Whitney's body, Bobbi reportedly "screamed, cursed and demanded to see her mother."
According to reports, she was ultimately not allowed in the room. Whitney's cousin Dionne Warwick showed up later on and was also "turned away" by enforcement officers.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Jennifer Hudson will lead a tribute to the star at tonight's Grammy Awards.
Whitney was a six-time Grammy winner, and insiders say the show's producers are keen to present a fitting tribute at the ceremony later today.
According to Ken Ehrlich, the show's executive producer, the plan is to honour Whitney's life with a "respectful musical tribute," says e! Online.
"It's too fresh in everyone's memory to do more at this time, but we would be remiss if we didn't recognise Whitney's remarkable contribution to music fans in general, and in particular her close ties with the Grammy telecast and her Grammy wins and nominations over the years," he added.
Many stars have taken to their Twitter pages to express their grief at the loss of such an iconic and influential musician.
"I feel sick.... Life is precious, we are fragile souls. Let's love each other! I miss you beautiful Whitney, the whole world misses you!! [[sic)" Alicia Keys exclaimed.
Singers Jennifer Lopez and Pink also voiced their sadness over Whitney's untimely death.
"Such a loss. One of the greatest voices of our time. Sending out prayers to her family... #R.I.P.Whitney," Jennifer wrote, with Pink adding: "Whitney was the reason many of us do what we do. "a few stolen moments is all that we share" RIP [[sic)."

Here's a report on events concerning what turned out to be Whitney's last days:
http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-th...144148765.html
Apparently Whitney didn't have enough water in her lungs to be officially declared a drowning--so it's looking like drugs/alcohol are probably the culprit. Sad.
What statement did he put out? I still haven't heard one.
I hated Bobby Brown and New Edition. They started that whole whiny, sniveling singing style that I find highly irritating. He brags about going to prison, he brags about doing drugs, he get DWI's--why would I like him?
They hate him because they don't understand and they don't know. He is an easy target and he knows that much!
I use to live in Boston where Bobby and them grew up and if you saw first hand where they came from, you would really appreciate what they accomplished with just their natural talents. By "you" I don't mean you personally, but everyone that "thinks" they are suppose to hate on Bobby Brown!
I've never heard that either. I remember living in Boston during the time Bobby's future brother-in-law was brutually gunned down while Bobby was in the car with him outside this popular bar everyone use to go to. He was devasted, but luckily not seriously hurt. I've never heard him bragging about it or any of those things Bob mentioned.
They are definitely made up! You see people don't realize that they are generalizing when they say these untrue things. Bobby is a young black man that came up hard, made it big, can be considered a hip-hop, rap artist.....add those elements together and it is easy for some to accept that he must be a braggart!
Jobeterob said in another thread that it is basically a well known concept that minorities [[READ:black people) have a habit of tearing down and trashing their own people once they have made it and have become famous.
I disagreed. That's not what I am seeing this week in all of the great mourning of Whitney Houston.
