I just read that the contract with Whitney's previous bodyguard required that she be checked on every 7 minutes while she was in the bathroom and that she was not allowed to take baths. What's really sad is that they probably didn't think it was necessary anymore when they hired her latest bodyguard because Whitney had been doing better.  We don't even know if she drowned, we don't know if being in the bath had anything to do with it. This could've happened to her whether she was in the bathroom getting ready to take a bath or whether she was laying in bed watching tv, we don't know!  This waiting game is so tough, I just want answers. |

Sorry for the double post.. But.. I hope people take notice to how important these singers are in the world today.. The ONLY artist to come close vocally is Adele.. And Jhud. But They WILL NEVER be WHITNEY OR MARIAH! Adele??? I really like Adele, but vocally she is closer to an Alicia Keys than she is to Whitney. |

Still can't believe this! I wish with every fiber in my body that I could turn back time and have this not happen! We should still be discussing how gorgeous she looked at the Pre Grammys on February 11, not her funeral! not her burial! This is still so unreal!!!!

I just watched the YouTube video where Whitney talks to Clive, Brandy, and Monica and I don't understand. I really don't understand. Her hair is wet and she's talking to Monica about how she just went swimming for two hours, hands Brandy a note, tells Clive she loves him. She seems so energetic and down to earth. She does NOT seem hungover or high or any of these other things that the media she's saying she was. What could have happened? I don't understand how she's transitioned from that video to the picture of a grave in the other thread in a week and a half. There are no words... it's scary and so sad. R.I.P Whitney  |

FUSE aired an 8 hour block of Whitney videos. I recorded it, and must say Whitney's body of music is so diverse and impressive. She goes from inspirational power ballads, to love songs, to Pop songs, to Dance mixes, to Michael Jackson flavored songs, just everything....
"So Emotional" sounds like a song off an MJ album and I love it! I never realized this until yesterday, but wow. I can't stop listening to all her albums. I'm a proud owner of every single one!
Ughhhh... I still can't believe this, just not right.

Whitney rockin out to Madonna's halftime show on Feb 5  Whitney Houston
ROCKIN' OUT to Madonna's Halftime ShowJust five days before her death, Whitney Houston was GETTIN' DOWN to Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show ... singing and dancing to the music like her old self ... and TMZ has the footage. It all went down Feb. 5 at a bar inside the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel ... where Whitney watched the entire game with close family and friends. For the record, we're told she didn't have one drink. But she did let loose ... because when Madge busted out Vogue ... a super-excited Whitney sang along and even busted out some of the trademark Vogue dance moves. Sources close to the actress tell us ... Whitney RAVED about the performance and then reminisced about the days when she would battle Madonna on the music charts. At least someone was a fan of the show ... VIDEO - www.tmz.com/2012/02/21/whitney-houston-superbowl-madonna-video/#.T0Nmvtr1LOU  |

 LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- Amid the outpouring of emotion inside Whitney Houston’s funeral on Saturday in her hometown of Newark, New Jersey, many tears were shed not only for the fallen superstar, but for the daughter she left behind. Following the service, rumors swirled that Whitney’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, went missing for several hours and was nowhere to be found. However, on Monday, two people who were close to Whitney’s family and inside the funeral on Sunday cleared up the rumors and addressed the 18-year-old’s state of mind – and future — following the loss of her mother. “Not true. Not true,” Whitney’s godmother Darlene Love told Access Hollywood Live’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Monday of the reports which suggested Bobbi Kristina vanished following the funeral. “She was with us and she was with the family the whole time… She’s been with the family these last couple of days. We all know where she is, she’s not missing.”As far as reports which suggested Bobbi Kristina may be using drugs and could be headed for rehab, longtime family friend BeBe Winans said he knew nothing about any problems allegedly facing the teen despite the tough times. “I don’t know anything about rehab. I can tell you from being around her, pretty much all her life, and at the same time being around her in this dark valley, she’s doing wonderful. She’s doing wonderful,” BeBe – who spoke and performed during the funeral – told Billy and Kit in a separate interview. “I’m turning 50 this year and to lose my mother would be devastating, so I understand at 18, to lose someone, not only just your mother, but your friend – someone you love, it’s devastating. So wherever she needs to walk, the positive thing is that she’s not walking alone. We will be by her side.” But will Bobbi Kristina’s dad, Bobby Brown, also be by her side as she moves forward? “That’s really going to have to be her choice whether she wants him in her life… and I don’t think nobody is going to give her any information or try to move her one way or the other. That’s one decision she’s definitely going to have to make on her own,” Darlene noted. In fact, BeBe said Bobbi Kristina’s mother would want her daughter and ex-husband to remain close. “The thing that is real is that’s what Whitney would say,” BeBe said, when asked if Bobby should be a part of his daughter’s life. “Even when they decided to divorce… she told Bobbi Kristina, ‘He will always be your father. You will need your father,’ and no matter what happens, she will have her father because Whitney’s family understands that.” The family realizes, however, that Bobbi Kristina – as a young adult – will ultimately make her own decision. “She’s 18… she’s going to make her decision… she has plenty of people she can lean on and whatever decision she makes, we will support her,” BeBe said. So where will Bobbi Kristina live? “We don’t know that yet. I have a feeling that she’s going to end up being close to the family. Most of… Whitney’s family is still in New Jersey, and that’s where Whitney was off and on… I don’t know where she’s going to end up, but like you said, she’s 18 years old and she’s going to try to make her own decisions,” Darlene added. |

^IKR. How is that 'odd'? They had nothing in common. And they definitely weren't friends.

Yeah, I noticed that too when I first heard this song lol Ironically the writers of "So Emotional" said that the demo sounded like a Prince song. This version sounds even more MJ-ish with it's bassline and all: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0NlaMo30qo |

The funny thing I read on Wikipedia about "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" is that the original arrangement of the song was more of a country song, but they turned it into a pop-dance song. I can't imagine what that song would song like as a country song, but I'd be interested to hear it lol. |

Supposedly, after Whitney's death, Madonna was at a club with her dancers, watching them perform and when IWDWS came on, she got out of her seat and started lipping along to the words and dancing. I'm sure Madonna had respect for Whitney as a woman and as a talent. Does she need to publicly comment to prove that?!

What about Lady GaGa? Did she ever make a statement or anything? She said Whitney was a big influence on the BTW album...

I think you should maybe put a warning and a space before that picture. It could be very traumatic to some.
Personally (and I don't mind you posting it all, I'm just giving my two cents) I don't actually think it's something the world should see. It actually made me very sad/shocked.

You should have posted a link and not the photo, for those who didn't want to see it.
