Whitney Houston died on Saturday afternoon.

She was 48.

Hollywood In Shock: Celebs React to Whitney Houston Death

Houston, a six-time Grammy Award winner, was expected to make an appearance at a pre-Grammys party on Saturday night.

One of the biggest music stars of the 1980s and 1990s, Houston became one of the biggest-selling recording artists in the world before drug use and a drama-filled marriage to Bobby Brown derailed her career.

She starred in motion pictures including Waiting to Exhale and The Bodyguard.

Gifted with one of the best voices in the music industry’s history, Houston sold nearly 200 million albums worldwide, was the force behind the best-selling soundtrack in history (The Bodyguard) and the best-selling gospel album in history (The Preacher’s Wife).

Houston is survived by ex-husband Brown and their daughter, Bobbi Kristina.

    Yep, she did it without backup singers or autotune . . . She was The Voice.

    Oh, I know and wasn’t saying what you said was wrong. Adults start using – as she did, and think it’s different, that they will know how to handle it because they are grown. No winners regardless.

    Gotta wonder about Clive Davis right now. He always has a big party the night before the Grammy, and so would have all the stars of TV, movies and music gathered tonight and now this. He was the spark behind her and the driving force to get her back. He must be tore up!

    It sad to see such talent go waste. She had such a God Giving Gift and this should be a lesson to all who is on the wrong path. You are better then this. You are loved by someone and it’s unfair to those left behind. At least she is at peace.

    So Sad….That a incredibly talented person with everything is dead at 48. Regardless of the cause of death I am sure it will be related to drugs or a result of the use of drugs.
    She will be singing with Michael Jackson to the angels.

  • Ilsa Ramos

    You need to understand that many times it all comes from dysfunctional families. There are more today than when I was growing up. Over the yrs. drugs always existed. It has gotten worse. Just as dysfunctional family grew, so did the drugs. I blame the Govt. for that. The mind is the most weakest in ones body. Read 3 Magic words by Us. Anderson.

  • Ilsa Ramos

    What does one thing have to do with the other? I’m sure that’s not Whitney’s fault. People have a tendency to go under the peer presure. If one is mad at someone, then everyone is suposed to be angry with that person.Then when one of them in that circle needs you, and your not there for them, everyone is furrious. God didn’t create us to be that way. People like yourself need prayers. We don’t live in a perfect world. Remember, God sees everthing. He took Whitney so she wouldn’t suffer anymore. All this is a lesson for everyone in this world. A wake up call!

  • Ilsa Ramos

    I see this as a wake up call for this world. Sad to say, but it’s true. Especially, someone in HS. There are many who come from dyffunctional families. It’s gotten worse over the years. Then when they feel rejected, they go out to get even, leading to hurt themselves.These kids need to be taught that even cigarettes is a drug. Kids need to be educated of the pros. and cons. This needs to be enforced in schools and not wait til someone dies. Our world is different than of our parrents. Just as children today, are different from when I was growing up. People need to be converted to Christ. There are too many who are athiest or have lost faith altogether. God didn’t creat problem. It’s was when man was created.
