When I was much younger Whitney was one of my go-to people to sing along to and I always wished I could sing like her. It is insanely tragic that her personal demons probably took a great talent way, way too soon.

I can't even...process this. Like, this seems so random. I thought she had recovered from drug use? RIP. :( I just feel even more shellshocked than even the MJ death.

Yeah. Like I'd seen Amy's death coming for years, but Whitney even though you could tell she wasn't exactly 'better' and she was so much older... I just wasn't expecting it at all.

This is so unexpected. MJ and Amy both seemed inevitable but this is a complete shock. My grandma is calling me in tears.

OMG :'( I was shocked and astounded to see this. She was photographed at a party a couple of nights ago and she looked a little worn down (perhaps she was tired). I had always hoped that she would be able to get her life together and deal with her addictions and demons. Even if she weren't to return to recording and acting, I wanted her to get it together for the sake of her daughter. Poor Bobbi Kristina.
In her brief life, Whitney left quite an impact on the world with her soaring vocals. Many were inspired to start singing after hearing her music. She touched many lives with her songs. I hope that she will be remembered more for contributions to music moreso than her very public drug addiction and downward spiral. She will be missed.
I became a fan of hers as a child when The Bodyguard was out. I loved "I'm Every Woman", "I Will Always Love You", and "Queen Of The Night". I grew to love her older and then newer stuff as I grew up. I also was a huge fan of the club remixes of her songs (and there were many). I wonder if there are any new, unreleased recordings sitting in a vault somewhere?

I wouldn't have even been surprised if this was announced several years ago, but it really did seem like things were improving. So sad.
The mood at Clive's pre-Grammy party tonight is going to be very somber.

that was the denial that was issued a few years ago when people thought she died. She looked emaciated at that Michael jackson 30th Anniversary concert and then people started a rumour that she had died the next day.

I had just woken up from a nap and then I saw this; worst thing to wake up to. Listened to I Will Always Love You after and it was so touching. ;_;

Apparently Ray J found her dead, as per CNN. She was at the Beverly Hilton hotel, presumably to attend Clive Davis' party tonight.
