Two years ago today [[2/11/14) whitney houston died

February 9, 2012 I was in LA covering the red carpet event of Kelly Price's "For The Love of R&B", one of the many festivities surrounding the Grammys that weekend. Several celebrities including Brian McKnight, Faith Evans, El Debarge, Kenny Lattimore, Omarosa and many others appeared. All of a sudden Whitney Houston and her entourage strolled down the carpet and the excitement catapulted. Even though she went by quickly, most of the conversation among the photographers was how good she looked and how upbeat she seemed. Two days later I flew home and was in total shock by the news that Whitney Houston was found dead in her hotel room. It almost seemed surreal considering I was almost at an arm's reach to her less than 48 hours prior.
She lived a life full of ups and downs but left a legacy of music that will live on forever. Hard to believe that it's been 2 years ago today. R.I.P. WHITNEYhttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153857212405457&set=a.10152435294450457.961741.503600456&type=1&theater&notif_t=photo_comment

Truly hard to believe. I'm still struck by the fact that she could have been an artist on par with Michael Jackson had not personal issues derailed her. Everybody loved Whitney Houston and she was a natural at everything she did. Possibly the greatest singer [[read: I didn't say "female" singer) of her generation, she was also an engaging actress as well. Like the commercials say: Life comes at you fast.

It's amazing how fast times flies and that two years has gone by already. Rest in peace Whitney.

It'd only seems right that AMC would show "The Bodyguard" on that day.
