Thanks for that, SAO! I'm already getting tired of all this posthumous love for Whitney. Besides, she could never hold a candle to Dionne Warwick...

Interesting point there, Meowgi. Let's see what orchestrated biggie follows this. :osama:

Here is another one...

I grew up with Whitney Houston music... I remember listening to "I will always love you" in Iran when owning movies were banned and we rented the movie Bodyguard from the underground movie rental cabbie. Whitney's voice was amazing. But for me.. Whitney died when she stopped singing. She started doing drugs and her life and career went down the tubes. She killed herself with those choices. She did always say she was her own worst enemy. Still.. with all that said I did read that she was becoming clean and had gone to rehab and stuff... so her death does seem kind of strange. But I also wouldn't be surprised if the autopsy results comes back as overdose.
Regarding the pictures... I understand the sentiment because there are a lot of ignorant people who only feel sad to go with the crowd sort to speak, and I think that's why the media blows these kinds of things way out of proportion - to create more distractions. But there are also people like me who loved Whitney and were sad to hear of her death and also think of all suffering in the world. I think it's ok to be sad for Whitney... being sad is a part of life, just as long as you don't let it consume you.
Anyway those were just some of my thoughts
RIP Whitney

How can you love a person who you truly know nothing about? All you know about her is her public persona which is wholly manufactured. To know is to love and you don't know the first thing about this woman, other than the fact that you 'like' her voice.
I really think it's important to learn to separate truth from illusion. You 'loved' the illusion of Whitney Houston, that's all.

Well said Anart. You pull no punches. I love old movies, or perhaps it is the grandeur and art form that attracts me. Makes one think about how one views things.
