She nailed the national anthem at the giants bills super bowl like few have ever done. Amazing voice

Greatest voice I've ever heard, and she threw it all away.  Goddamned drugs.

RIP.

Poor Whitney, she was so gifted, she could have had it all. She was so beautiful and possessed one of the greatest voices ever, she had life on a silver platter and then, someone (Bobby?) put a crack pipe on it.

Awesome legs.

Not her fault, but her National Anthem inadvertantly spawned a generation of over-emotive, wildly histrionic (and very poor) imitators.

Alas.  Too much too soon.

Why is Brown responsible for Houston's crack habit?

Which has nothing to do with Whitney Houston's drug habit.  She's responsible for that.

Back on track... Whitney's isolated vocal track from "How Will I Know".  What an unreal talent.

Almost sounds like an American Idol audition at the beginning.  And if it was, they could just end the season right there.

I agree, but by omission you wouldn't be suggesting that her ex-husband should get a pass on their journey together down the addiction highway, would you?

She was the best female vocalist I ever heard, bar none.

I'm suggesting that each are responsible for their own journeys.

BTW, latest info suggests it was a combination of Xanax and alcohol that did her in.  However, I'm sure that's Brown's fault as well.

Xanax and alcohol plus the hot water is what I heard. She may have been gone before she was submerged.

Terrible shame to see her health decline over the years. She had a fantastic talent.

After all the cocaine varieties she and her ex-husband were alleged to have done, that combo probably seemed like Tylenol and ginger ale to her.  Madness!
