Shame she had to go and do it the week I go back to work.
Remind me to take my Ipod.

Whitney Houston made a great impact in life.

If she wasn't before, Whitney Houston is definitely 100% soul now.

I envy your innocence. When I was a kid she was like this..
Yep, it's true: I had no idea Whitney was struggling with drug addiction. I just don't follow the lives of celebrities, I guess, and I never did like Whitney Houston's style of music, although I felt she was very attractive and a gifted singer.

Really? Her husband Bobby Brown was a big time coke user, and got her hooked on it. Marrying him was her downfall. RIP.
I didn't know she was married to Bobby Brown! :o:
(And I don't really remember who Bobby Brown is either, other than some singer :o: :o: )

Well, it's not that I followed the lives of celebrities but I guess I did watch a lot of television in the 80s and 90s. She and Bobby Brown (who was a member of Boys II Men, an enormously popular R&B group from the late 80s) got together and became notorious for their drug use and subsequent legal troubles. They became a well-known cultural joke.
Here's an example: a sketch from MAD TV aired sometime in the 90s..
I don't care about that part of her past though, and I don't care about that 'I-E-I Will Always Love You' song.
I'll remember her as someone who wants to dance with somebody who loves her.

Bobby Brown was in New Edition, not Boys II Men. :)
