R.I.P. Whitney Houston...and just say NO kids.

R.I.P.
So Whitney Houston is dead. Bummer. I remember hearing her music seemingly everywhere when I was a little kid in the late 80's/early 90's. Back in her prime she was beautiful (a model actually) and of course, you know, had an AMAZING voice.


my God, it's like she wasn't even trying.


Too bad that all went to shit. Whitney's career started to mimic her personal life, all messed up. If you aren't familiar with her long and tumultuous relationship with Bobby Brown, her battle with drugs and knack for insane public behavior, have fun with Google afterwards. In short, I'll just say that Whitney was like a walking D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education for you non-USA'ers) advertisement =/ Such a waste of talent. Of course she wasn't the first, and sadly, won't be the last.

At least her music will live on...through young boys from Taiwan.





*NOTE*
When news of her death broke I immediately thought of two things:
X-Men: The Animated Series


and my homie Patrick Bateman...he was a HUGE Whitney fan =p

  3. I'm sorry to see her go, she was a phenomenal talent. You'd think someone would have done an eyebrow intervention on that album cover tho.

  4. She's dead, bummer...haha jut put that out there so casually. If only her body guard wasn't off playing Robin Hood in some Waterworld looking for the upside of anger.

    1. HAHA. Nice touch there! Was hoping for a Dances With Wolves reference but Waterworld did nicely.

  5. It's funny that whenever Whitney died I did feel sorry for Patrick, after all she's his favourite jazz singer, haha. Rest in peace though Whitney, you're right about the drug thing.

  7. You know, as upset about this as I am.. I'm also just a little bit happy that she got everything she was capable of doing done before her death. Something terrible DEFINITELY could have happened right in the middle of her career.

  8. I've never seen that X-Men/Whitney video before, but dammit they fit together so perfectly. I had heard about her death through Wikipedia actually. I didn't know all that stuff about her personal life. She's going to be missed, and she will live on, in Taiwan.

  10. I heard that it wasn't much of a surprise due to her lifestyle choices.

  11. Sad news indeed, she had a great set of pipes. I sincerely hope that the press will just let it rest sooner rather than later and spare her family more pain than they must already be feeling.

  12. Ah, another celebrity death which will encourage kids not to do drugs.... oh wait, no it won't! It will probably just make them think that if celebrities can get away for years doing drugs that they can be smarter than them and do those exact same drugs but somehow not die in a bathtub.....

    Sorry..... I'm only a little bit sour grapes on this whole subject

  13. Very sad and Patrick Bateman certainly was a fan.......

  14. Bummed out to hear about her dying but not at all surprised.
    Found in her bathtub with prescription bottles around her room. Wonder how that went down...
