Whitney Houston Dead
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-17001548
must admit to being kind of shocked/surprised by this one. I know she has the right background for a sudden, early death, but Michael Jackson surprised me far less.

Wow, RIP Whitney. She was beautiful and lordy, that woman had some pipes.

She had a set of pipes on her, but I never liked her style of extra-quavery pop. What really struck me is that she was two years younger than I. Higher mileage, but younger.

I hated what she did to The Star Spangled Banner. Gave me chills, not the good kind. You don't have to make the National Anthem "yours." You just have to sing it. And not screw up the words.

I liked it when she did it but the copy cats got very old.

I just saw a TV comedy/quiz show in which the contestants had to unscramble anagrams to reveal a musician. It was a re-run. I'm sure if it was live they wouldn't have used "SHUT IT NOW, HONEY".

Anyone with that much talent who throws it away as she did ought to be charged with a crime against humanity. I liked her pop style and still enjoy her early albums; but, have had no use for the person she subsequently chose to be. Good riddance.

RIP Whitney. No one gets out alive and coffins don't have saddle bags. See you somewhere down the line most likely.

Caught me off guard but she's had a rough time of it.

Better that the drugs got her than Bobby Brown, I guess.
