It is really sad to lose a legend, but I hope the show isn't all depressing/ruined. I have no problem with a 5-10 minute tribute with people giving speeches and singing, but a whole show changed?

I wish Whitney had a "definitive" Greatest Hits that would explode in sales. I hate the remixes on her 2000 set.

f**king hell. Stupid as it probably sounds, I really didn't see this coming. Rest in peace. Not that I followed her personal life closely or anything, but I legitimately thought she had started turning things around, so was surprised to learn of this as well. R.I.P.

I was flipping by channels on the TV, and saw Whitney's picture and the headline- I was completely shocked and saddened. I stood frozen for many seconds. Not that Whitney did not have her personal struggles, but this came out of nowhere, as she just finished filming Sparkle and all.
A major loss for her family, her fans and for music. R.I.P., Nippy, and, may you finally be at peace and out of pain. We will always love you.

CNN is now saying that her bodyguard, also named Ray, is actually the one who found her. That sounds odd. Someone who works at the Beverly Hilton had called into CNN when the news first broke and said that Whitney and Ray J had been sharing a room there for the past four nights. Now the story changed?

Yeah that struck me as odd, too. I'm sure the real story will come out soon enough. I think at this point, CNN is just announcing whatever anyone tells them.

Been talking to my mom; she told me that her and my father had been to a Whitney Houston concert on her Moment of Truth tour while she was pregnant with me. :'(

I am so sad. What wasted talent... I really hope the tribute does her justice and that the memory of her won't be her last ten years--- instead, I hope people remember her for the person that was so much more than that.

Hosh Gureli, the former A&R at Sony BMG tweeted this:
@hoshg: Whitney I love you and you had the Greatest Voice in the World. Working with you was simply amazing. It's Not Okay and It's Not Right. XO

This is unbelievably sad and surprisingly shocking, all things considered.
However, I am so grateful that she had her two years of recovery for her daughter's sake and that the fans got one last album.
My heart goes out to Bobbi Kristina. I hope she didn't find out via the media.

3:23pm PT: Whitney is found unresponsive by her bodyguard who called 911. 3:25pm PT: Paramedics arrive at the scene. 3:55pm PT: Whitney Houston is pronounced dead
Some reports are saying she was in the bathtub at the time of her death.

Today marks the birthdays of Brandy & Kelly Rowland, both of whom idolized Whitney to death. Sad pics of MJ & friend Whitney are circulating :(

This is very sad. What a waste of a beautiful, incredibly talented woman. Drugs, people, don't even go near them. There's so much in this world to live for if we just look.

I'm hearing it really was Ray J who found her, but they are trying to do damage control. Those pics that surfaced a few days ago in Hollywood were the tip of that things were not right.

My heart goes out to Bobbi Kristina. I hope she didn't find out via the media. I also hope the media gives her privacy and space now, but I guess that's asking for too much. I also greatly feel for Whitney's mother Cissy Houston and Clive Davis, both of whom are elderly and extremely close to Whitney. To go through the pain and shock of this now...

Pics like that have been coming out for years. She has not been right for a long time. May she finally rest.

I actually agree. People from the hotel have already told the news outlets that they saw Ray J at the hotel with her today... and now the story is changing. There were eyewitnesses. It does kind of sound like a cover up. But regardless of how it happened or who found her, this is shocking and sad and it's kind of none of our business anyway.
