RIP :([QUOTE="supa_badman"] Your back must hurt from living under that rock.chessmaster1989

Probably just really young. Really the last time she was even talked about was over five years ago with the Bobby Brown thing.

22, and never heard of her.

I don't really understand cause you are on the first page saying you've never heard of her, and 15 pages later, this still need to be said?

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] They're not doing anything to warrant their fame. There are millions of people that can sing like her and better. At least write your own crappy songs. themajormayor

They're singing... Which is the primary focus of the music...

What? No the primary focus of the music... is the music. Not the singing. You could replace her with an instrument and the songs would be just as good.

That's not true, singing is a very important part of the presentation, without Whitney, I will always love you, will never be the same song the world remembers, just go on any idol, or talent reality show anywhere on earth, that song, some 20 years later, is still probably the most popular choice, what instrument can make that specific song this influential?

Has this been confirmed to be truth? I'm seeing some hoopla about it on Facebook, but you never know these days. megagene
It's on the news, so yeah I guess.

Quite a shame. Sang one of the best national anthem's I can remember. Maniacc1
Her national anthem was amazing. I can't ever remember another that was so amazing there were old men in the crowd crying. Arguably the most famous rendition of our nation's anthem ever performed.

im 23 and ive known whiteny houston's music my whole life. im listening to' I'm Your Baby Tonight' (European Version. the US version didn't due her justice) right now. i was in complete shock when i saw the headline she was dead. she had a pure voice. no autotune. just raw talent.

it is a shame we don't have any current singers who have a voice like that. and i don't understand how any music lover has never heard of her.

She peaked in 1992 with her album "bodyguard" (it holds the record asthe best selling album of all time for any musician)

mastershake575

Actually it isn't. Michael Jackson's Thriller is the best selling album of all time. Whitney's bodyguard comes in 4th place.

Like most of the posters, I was pretty shocked too. My wife actually showed the news clip on her phone to me while I was driving. Probably not the best time. I really enjoyed everything she did growing up, and though I don't know if it was true, I had heard she was able to break free from drugs. I'm not saying it was. It could have been heart failure from a number of years of use even if she did quit. However, it could be a million other things too. It just sucks either way.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="AussieePet"] Well shes an singer :) thought everyone heard of her shes the female micheal jackson :Pdeathtarget04

Did she write her own music? Even if she did it's clearly vastly inferior to that of Michael Jackson. Doesn't say much but still.

Erm Michael Jackson didn't write most of his stuff.

Still sad to hear that she died. And at such a young age :(

Yes he did. He wrote most of his hits except thriller I think

We still have our fair share of great singers out there. Whether they are on Whitney's level is arguable, but there is still plenty of talent out there.

Some examples:
Matt Bellamy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PN6egPgazA

Mikael Akerfeldt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tETiyedyML8

Howard Jones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A55P0FUkjj8&feature=related

Anyways, I am not a fan of Whitney's s t y l e of music but I'll be damned if I didn't respect her amazing amount of talent. It is sad she ended up wasting her life the way she did. She ruined everything with drugs including her ability to sing.

I can't help but feel like she is another fine example of why one should not do drugs...

Crack is wack, yo.

Whitney shoulda followed her own advice from that interview years ago. Then maybe she would be alive today instead of being found dead in a hotel room

It aint easy staying away from drugs once you reach the top. Once you think you accomplished everything, you need something to provide that different type of happiness, that stimulates your brain to feel good. Drugs does that.

I'm actually a bit surprised that so many people never heard of her.

Though it's not exactly shocking, it's still a shame. She was a very talented singer. RIP

But this the internet. A quick google search would of taken care of that. But you felt is was more important to obnoxiously express that she was unknown.

I'm surprised people didn't know her but considering that GS is full of children, it makes sense. Most people who grew up in the 90's know of her hit songs. At the very least people should recognize some of her songs.

She sang possibly one of the best rendition of the National athem, during Super Bowl XXVwhen the Giants beat the Bills. She's the only person singer to turn the anthem into a hit single to reach the Billboard hot 100.

And a quick explanation would have taken care of our ignorance, but you felt it was more important to obnoxiously express that we shuold have known her a priori.

Flawless logic, right?

My most favorite singer since I was a child. She was one of the best singers that has broken many standards. Ya, she had some bad publicity with drugs and marriage, but she's only human. People make mistakes and most likely this mistake has costed her life. I've always believed in her before and after the "the drugs and bobby". I took this loss pretty harsh myself.
