She will always love you.

I knew I should have picked her as my supplemental pick in the Death Pool! Zsa Zsa Gabor better fucking pay off.

Holy cow, incredibly sad. Best singer of her generation at one time. Lady had some pipes. RIP Whitney....

The Grammy's will be a big downer tomorrow night

They should just replay that vid of her singing the National Anthem every year at the SB because that will never be topped.

Not to difficult to see Bobby Brown effed her up as soon at they got together. A big middle finger to you BB... RIP WH

Damn what a waste. So much talent basically thrown away over the last several years. I had such a crush on her when she first came out.

I'll join you both... First thing I thought when I heard died was...where was Bobby? And i LOL'd at the post.

[Braincase]

I hope Bobby Brown has his vocal chords forcibly removed through his asshole.

[FAX]

Didn't see that one coming.

It harkens back to the early days of rock/pop and the premature demise of Janice and Jimmy and Jim. She got an extra quarter century, though. Just shows how far medical science has evolved, I guess.

Black history month starts off with a bang

[memyselfI]

Just sad. So much talent which ended up being wasted. Contrast that to an 80s icon like Madonna who isn't a great singer but is a wonderful performer. Rather sad extremes for the two of them this week. Encapsulated their lives.

[Chiefnj2]

Had her in my death pool.

Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice who lived what she sang. Many men around her age had crushes on her back when she started

[Delano]

Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album.

[Pioli Zombie]

I believe the draft picks are our future, pick them well and do not piss them away
Do not waste them on the defensive line
Give us a chance to fly
if a quarterback is there in that we must rely

I would still **** her

She's probably still warm.

News of Whitney Houston's death travelled wish such speed. When I heard I couldn't help but crack up with emotion. She was a real heroin. It's such a blow. She really made a hash of things though. Her life just went to pot. Someone should have kept tabs on her......Whitney Houston, there will never be another beaten, coked out broad like you (unless Rihanna starts smoking crack).

In all seriousness though, the world lost a legend and an inspiration to many today.....RIP Whitney, you will be missed. Also, for what it's worth, if Conrad Murray killed Michael Jackson, then that must mean Bobby Brown killed Whitney huh?

I do agree with you, you have to know that there are very few positives that can come from taking that first hit of crack and a shit ton more negatives.. But sometimes people just make mistakes. How many people on here smoke cigs? Most of them probably started similarly. Out with some friends having fun, someone offers you a hit and you take it. 15 years later you're still hooked. They knew cigarrettes were bad in the first place but they just made a mistake. With the super addictive nature of drugs like crack and heroin, a lot of times it's just a one-time bad decision that got them hooked to a lifetime of the shit.

When a person heard what that Conrad Murray did, regardless of Jackson wanting the drugs, I had no problem with what he was sentenced to.

Bobby pushed her. Hard. Yeah, she shoulda stood up. But Bobby sure knocked her ass down. Again....and again. I'm bettin' that prick will be able to live with that just "fine." Tells us all we need to know.

So Bobby Brown forced the drugs on her?

Forced? Of course not. That still leaves room to call him the douche he is. Period.

Whitney was found dead in her bathtub with her head underwater. The speculation is she took Xanax and fell asleep in her bathtub since mixing that with alcohol will make someone extremely sleepy.

Whitney Houston's 18-year-old daughter was rushed to a hospital from the same hotel where her mother died, according to reports in Los Angeles.

TMZ and People Magazine reported that Bobbi Kristina Brown was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles on a stretcher after having a breakdown.

Houston’s only child from husband Bobby Brown was widely described as distraught after her mom was found dead Saturday.

TMZ reported she got into an angry shouting match Saturday night with the cops guarding the hotel room where her mother died.

Not to her magnitude. I doubt very much a couple of generations remember Dusty as groundbreaking as she was. Not near the global and incredible level Whitney was at her height.

[Pioli Zombie]

Whitney is still delicious and I would like to eat her.

[Spott]

If Kevin Costner would have been doing his job, this never would have happened.

[FAX]

I don't know ... if you go back and read about pop culture in the mid- to late-sixties, Dusty was creating quite a storm. She had her own television show, and everything. And, keep in mind, those were the days when it was pretty damn difficult to have your own TV show ... no cable, no reality TV, only a few channels ...

On the other hand, Whitney was one of many, many female singers. She was great and all ... don't get me wrong. But, was she as impactful as Dusty? I think not.

Bobby Brown Loses His Father and Whitney Houston
FEBRUARY 12, 2012

Our condolences go out to Bobby Brown after the lose of his father and Witney Houston today.

The singer’s father, Herbert Brown, passed away last night after a long battle with cancer reports TMZ. He was 82. Last week, Brown took to his Twitter page to put in a prayer request for his ailing dad. “Requesting prayers for Pop Brown… @ hospital with him now…” Brown wrote. He later tweeted, “Thanks again for all the prayers… Keep them coming….”

Sources close to the family say that Herbert, who was affectionately known as “Pop” had been ill for many years. Herbert appeared on Bobby’s hit reality show “Being Bobby Brown” back in 2005.
Vyzion Radio is sending our prayers out for the entire Brown family.

The music scene underwent a radical shift at the end of the 80's.

It wasn't ALL her fault - popular music moved away from the areas that had made her so famous. She was able to cling to her fame for a few years by associating herself with big Hollywood movies but that too was fleeting.

That being said, she reacted to those changes in an all-too-predictable way and that's sad.

What happened to being responsible and accountable anymore? I don't blame anyone but Whitney for her drug use. She was a big girl. She could've said no. It's nobody's fault but her own. Word to the wise... Don't do drugs and sure as heck don't date or marry someone that does. Duh.

Thanks largely to "The Bodyguard" and a couple other movies. In fact, EVERY ONE of her best-selling albums of the 90's were movie soundtracks IIRC.

Your distinction is meaningless/unimportant to me.


This isn't like a building, where it takes an architect who is a true visionary to think up something brilliant/beautiful and any one of a hundred contractors could build it. Here, the writer has the thought and inspiration, and the performer uses their separate but equally amazing talent to bring it fully to life.

[FAX]

I don't know ... I think Mr. Garcia Bronco's statement makes a whole lot of sense, Mr. Amnorix.

There are performers (singers, players) ... the people who execute other people's work. Then, there are writers who provide the material that performers require ... of course, that works both ways. Then, there are artists ... people who both write and perform. This, I believe is where the true creativity resides.

In my experience, there is a big, big difference between those "types" of people.

In fact, I can say with 100% conviction, that the reason popular music has taken an overall downturn in creativity over the past couple of decades, is tied to the fact that, in this day and age, "performers" consider themselves to be "artists" when they don't write a damn thing, really. I can't tell you the number of "recording artists" who are basically just singers who only record songs for which they can receive "co-writing' credit. So, they hire a writer who is willing to give them credit in exchange for some royalties. It adds to the "artists" income, but the side-effect is an environment where there is far less risk-taking and creativity suffers as a result. Honestly, it's a huge problem ... I call it; art as wall-paper.

It's simple, really. The successful acts can dictate what songs they want to record. So, they will work with a co-writer or ghost to write their "own" material. The co-writers or ghosts go along because it's the only way they can get their stuff cut.

To my mind, the best stuff that's being recorded in Nashville never sees radio play ... and never will, probably. Heck, a lot of it never makes it to CD.

There have been a lot of changes around here. The Internet thing has altered the business a lot. Musicians have options now that they never had in the past ... for getting their stuff into the marketplace, I mean.

It's been a long time coming, but it's nice to see the record companies kissing ass for a change. Sadly, however, most "popular" acts are completely, 100% manufactured ... they aren't exactly organically grown. That's because all the investment in new "artists" has to be focused on just a few acts, so they take fewer chances. And, fewer chances means more pap for the masses to digest.

Official cause of death released:



Whitney Houston died from drowning in a hotel bathtub, but coroner's officials said Thursday that heart disease and chronic cocaine use were contributing factors to the singer's death.

The release of the autopsy findings ends weeks of speculation about what killed the Grammy-winning singer on Feb. 11 on the eve of the Grammy Awards.

Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and her death has been ruled as accidental. Several bottles of prescription medications were found in her hotel room, but coroner's officials said they weren't in excessive quantities.

Beverly Hills police said in a statement there was no evidence of wrongdoing in connection with Houston's death.


We are saddened to learn of the toxicology results, although we are glad to now have closure," said Patricia Houston, the singer's sister-in-law and manager.

Coroner's Chief of Operations Craig Harvey said cocaine and its byproducts were found in Houston's system, and it was listed as a contributing factor in her death. He said the results indicated Houston was a chronic cocaine user.

Toxicology results also showed Houston had marijuana, Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril, and the allergy medication Benadryl in her system. Houston died just hours before she was scheduled to appear at producer Clive Davis' pre-Grammy Awards bash.

The singer also had a heart disease that caused blockages in her arteries.

Houston, 48, was buried in a New Jersey cemetery next to her father after an emotional four-hour funeral service that was attended by friends, family and superstars such as Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson and Roberta Flack

Houston, a sensation from her first, eponymous album in 1985, was one of the world's best-selling artists from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, turning out such hits as "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," ''How Will I Know," ''The Greatest Love of All" and "I Will Always Love You." But as she struggled with drugs, her majestic voice became raspy, and she couldn't hit the high notes.

Interest in her music skyrocketed after her death, pushing her songs back on to charts and into heavy rotation on the radio.

A full autopsy report is expected to be released in two weeks.
