*oldmanwinters* · 02-11-2012, 07:07 PM

TMZ is quoting her publicist that the legendary entertainer has died.

Shocking and tragic.

Indeed. I saw the post pop up as I updated the forum. Totally took me off guard. I hate to speculate, but had to be drugs.

Currently died of unknown cause and unknown location according to her publicist

this was NOT unknow. if you know her pass from the 80s and 90s...she died from drugs..her and her coke hubby Bobby Brown is coming up next if he doesn't fix himself better.

F*ck, it has barely been a week since Cornelius died and now this?

Man... she had the most beautiful voice.

*Katie* · 02-11-2012, 08:14 PM

They found her in a Beverly Hills Hotel and tried to revive her. It's unknown....but my guess is overdose or suicide

*oldmanwinters* · 02-11-2012, 09:03 PM

Never been done better...

I remember her when she first became famous in the 1980's. I knew she had drug problems all her life, but would have thought that by now she might have gone off them the way Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones did.

Well, it looks like the "death comes in threes" rule strikes again. Just over two weeks ago, it was Etta James, then Don Cornelius last week, and now Whitney Houston. And OT TMNT fans are especially familiar with her voice as the TMNT's franchise peaked right in the middle of her popularity. She's sort of the female Michael Jackson however, with a definitive "shark jumping" moment in their careers to the point that they became virtually deader than disco until sympathy arrived. I followed her two main fan forums, classic Whitney and Whitney-Fan for awhile around her comeback attempt, but I knew from spending enough time there that hope for a revival was nearly impossible. May this be a valuable lesson to aspiring singers. At least TMNT was good with anti-drug measures! I have 27 singles and three albums of her plus 2 12" singles, along with four concert programs of her and two wall calendars, and even a 1981 Seventeen Magazine with her on the cover! A very sad, Billie Holiday-esque career with some noticeable parallels. Rest in peace, Whitney.

I used to create year-wise playlists in the MP 3-player from the 1950's to today and when coming to the years circa 1987-1995, it also got the perfect fealing when hearing a lot of songs from those years with different artists.

Wonderful voice in a very sad life....

Rest in peace.

A shame what drugs can do to a person. Oh well.

*ZariusTwo* · 02-12-2012, 06:45 AM

I heard Bobby's having fits over this.

It looks like he's gonna have to take control

*BubblyShell22* · 02-12-2012, 07:47 AM

Yeah, I heard about this yesterday when my sister called and told us. It's a shame that she had to die, but I could see it coming with her history. I thought she had cleaned up her act. Such a shame though. She had an amazing voice.

I heard he killed himself - his suicide note simply said "Two can play that game"... :p

That's his prerogative.

The last I heard of her, she cleaned up and was making a comeback. But like many drug-related deaths, it's tragic but not surprising.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-12-2012, 12:27 PM

Reports right now are saying she drowned in the bathtub.

What the heck is going on?? Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, Anna Nichole... It just seems all to coincidental to me. I'm not into conspiracy theories, but all these celebs dying like this, and at such young ages, makes me start to think a little..... What a shame. :/
