US, California: Whitney Houston Dies at 48

The voice of Whitney resonated with me. I ask myself if her voice was kind of incorruptible and STS forces have to destroy it because what it carried. But perhaps I'm totally wrong. Would be interesting to know what the C's say about this.

Thanks for the joy you have bring to us Whitney. :(

Hey Ellipse,

I don't think this was a case of STS in the sense you mean. Unfortunately Houston had her demons like all of us. From what I understand, she used drugs for a while and although she said she stopped years ago, that may have contributed to what happened.

In these cases, there is usually quite a bit of coverup surrounding the person's death and so we'll probably never know the actual cause. The last I heard, security was called before the police - if true, that says to me that more was going on and is being kept from the general public.

Well put SAO. My wife told me of her death last night. When someone famous dies, the whole world morns. I remember in 2001 just prior to 9/11 when Dale Earhart died it was on the front page. I had wondered about that one if it was a set up or not. The timing was right. To put certain people in a certain frame of mind for the biggy, 9/11. I do think that sometimes these things "just happen" but others I wonder about.

Well put SAO.

I agree. That wallpaper is perfect to describe what happens nowadays, which doesn't mean that people should suppress their feelings for a great voice like this woman (or any other talented artist), however many people who cries for her probably don't care at all about starving people all over the world or about entire palestinian families being murdered by israeli soldiers.

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.

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.

That's true because I didn't really know her. I just loved her voice and thought it was such a shame the way the she let it go.

 

[Mr Meowgi]

Love is one of those way over used words. Use of other words to describe a feeling towards performers or other famous folks should be used. I adore her voice or she makes my heart skip a beat when I hear her voice would be more appropriate. I adore old movies. A true statement. Phrasing can make all the difference. We have lost so much of our language skills in the last hundred years. Once it was deemed that we shall make school a grading system like eggs it went down hill. My father, with an eighth grade education, has a higher vocabulary than most high school graduates in the U.S. today. THAT IS SAD!!

You also only loved her voice because of the way that she and her voice were promoted and spread around the world. How many other millions of people have equally great voices or better voices and you never hear them? She 'let it go' because she, too, was a victim of the mindless mass media propaganda machine and the dire state of Western and global society that treats people as objects and money making machines for the elite.

That's a rather negative view of the situation, but is it wrong?

Nope.

We 'love' certain types of music and voices because they have a 'match' with our machine - our liking is a purely mechanical phenomenon that is exploited by the PTB and the music industry (if there's a difference) . . . bread and circuses for the masses.

Whitney Houston is yet another example of a talented singer who got chewed up and spat out by the 'star maker machinery behind the popular song'.

Apparently those who make money from her albums also love her:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2100304/Whitney-Houston-iTunes-Apple-accused-exploiting-singers-death.html

Whitney Houston fans have accused Apple of exploiting the late singer's death by increasing the cost of her in-demand albums on iTunes.

Her Ultimate Collection album, released in 2007, has increased by £3 ($4.70) to £7.99 ($12.60), according to Digital Spy.

It comes after the singer, whose most famous hits include I Will Always Love You and I Wanna Dance With Somebody, was found dead in her Los Angeles hotel room on Saturday afternoon at the age of 48.

..they love her even more for dying. Indeed, to her psychopathic handlers she is just a money making machine, especially in her death. And everything we know about her was nothing but marketing. She was a product, and like any product, and her entire public image was groomed to cater to certain demographics to make the most money.

For a good current example, here is Lady Gaga before she became a product (or maybe a beta version until they settled on the image they wanted):

No resemblance to the monstrosity we see today. Lots of fans "love" her and feel they "know" and "relate" to her and her "message", basing it off of a fully manufactured persona, fully manufactured "message", just a money-making marionette. I think that's true for basically all celebrities - we're just presented with what we're meant to see, and occasionally we could get an accidental "leak" of something *possibly* coming closer to reality (like the above video), and it shocks the pants off of all the fans, who discover they loved an illusion.
