Rest in peace Whitney Houston

[Catty1]

I am shocked. I know she had a heavy drug thing happening, but thought she had cleaned up. Still, a lot of abuse like that can weaken a body.

Thanks for all the wonderful music, Whitney.

Very sad indeed. She had a tremendous voice & was a big part of many a young person's life growing up in the 80's & 90's. She will always be one of the greatest voices of all time & will be missed by many. I feel sad for her daughter mostly & the rest of her family. Now atleast she will not have to struggle with her demons. I also have to say though, that this was not unexpected. She has been struggling with addiction for many many years. And as with most heavy drug addicts it is only the matter of time before something happens are either they OD or the body gives out. It is such a sad thing & a real shame that there is no 'real' way to get through to so many or to really help them.

A tragic loss - bet the atmosphere at the Grammys last night was thick with sorrow. How many more great performers will we have to lose to self-destruction, which I'm assuming played a role in Whitney's premature death?

RIP Whitney - there will never be another talent quite like you.

That is so sad. She was so very talented, both as a singer and an actress, and will be missed. If it was drugs, or the long term affects from them, that took her at such a young age, then it is even more tragic. So many famous and talented people "have it all", yet choose to throw it all away. Such a waste.........

RIP Whitney.
