[jonny boy]

Really sad news. Fantastic singer in her day.

[Raf_]

Just saw it on the news shame quite liked her one Hell of a voice on her

[moley]

Never liked Whitney Houston another artist married to a junkie joining the likes of Amy Winehouse.

What is it with these people earing mega bucks to buy drugs?

[ChrisRs]

A talented performer..RIP

[Macdemon]

What a BIG loss to the music industry.

[swordstoke]

Sad news. Such talent. Substance abuse wins again.

[Brimma]

I blame Luis Suarez for not shaking hands with Patrice Evra - that seems to be the cause of everything that happened yesterday

[GentleGiant]

They are not saying why yet, but like everyone else, drugs is a good bet.

Great singer in her heyday, and a hot looking woman even in her decline; I was more than a bit shocked to wake up and see the news.

R.I.P.

Escapism. A lot of people can't handle the fame they're given. Some just choose this route...

[Jim H]

RIP Whitney, I will always love you.

[TeflonTom]

Yeah... :( another one snorts the dust. It was such a shame that kevin costner wasnt there to save her.

[Paul007]

Just a shame that's another talented singer gone besides Amy due to the "unofficial" answer which we all know is probably true.

[devonutopia]

Moved to roadside hotel. Please keep posts respectful thanks.

[Beryl's Chief Pilot]

She was a damn good artist in her day.

[Brimma]

Sums it up

[Stormchaser]

Very sad.

RIP

I'd have thought fellow briskodians would have been a little more respectful in death, regardless of the alleged cause. If it was your loved one, wife son or daughter, would you expect and be comforted by, some of the responses in this thread. Regardless of you musical tastes and stances on drug taking, have the decency to put that aside for now and show some respect for someone's loss.

Well said, that man.

This is a sad loss of life.

if you dont have anything nice to say, i suggest you say nothing at all.

respect costs nothing.

[Auric Goldfinger]

Utterly gutted, wonderful singer..R I P

[BigW]

Lots of mock grief these days, some of the outpourings on facebook/twitter have been of a Kim Jong Il standard.

Feel sorry for her kids - aye, a wee bit. Never met them and doubt I ever will, but no-one deserves to have junkie parents, unfortunatley there are hundreds of thousands of kids in the same situation in the UK; but their Mum/Dad wont get their own thread on a motoring forum when they mistakenly snort a line of battery acid thinking it was Bogota's finest.

[gadgetman]

Sadly if what everyone believes is the C.O.D. is correct, then just goes to show the entertainment industry still has a long way to go to sort itself out. Kids look up to these people.

It's a shame when stars die too soon.

Death is obviously a bad thing and myself have been to way too many funerals over the last 6 years and lost real friends and family. But the one thing that annoys me and you see it more now with social networking is how many people come out and fair enough offer condolences but then still go on about it days later. It's not that I'm heartless but the people who do this as far as I knew didn't know here personally or didn't listen to her stuff religiously. Really don't get it myself.
