Whitney Houston. (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5im2K2XXLlbUkbTob5csuNcRdg-RQ?docId=0eddb019206a4ad19c15c120c2c17762)
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
What the fuck, Costner?
How Will I Go?
I'm hearing she drowned in the tub. While completely sober, I'm sure.
No longer waiting to exhale
Jesus Christ enough already.
I hate a celebrity death on a slow news day.
I saw a comment about Snooki on the red carpet at the Grammy's looking slutty and how it was too bad they couldn't keep it classy and graceful a day after Whitney Houston died.
We are talking about the drug addled woman who threw her life and career away right? That was Whitney Houston, right?
yet "Whitney", the TV show, survives.

Not to mention it's the Grammy's.
Nice tribute to her tonight, although it should've been entitled, "Whitney Houston, we have a problem".

Her career ended because she was wasted for 2 decades and was completely unreliable, not because her voice changed. Most singers today use computers to make them sound any way they want and just lip sync during live performances, she could have made a comeback with only a voicebox.

No, I pick my generation's reaction to the death of anyone who was even remotely noteworthy when they were growing up as a concrete example of their stupidity.
Also, she touched a lot of people

Fuck this. Someday I'm going to listen to MY generation as they try to make meaning out of the death of Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus. Hopefully within the next five years. Whitney's a goddamn saint by comparison. Someday I'll live through a week of "Baby" replays when someone finally offs the Biebs.

great vocalist = great pipes and range.
great singer = interprets the song.
Just changing dynamics in a song (or if you're Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera, hitting 6 octaves in every song) doesn't really do anything in terms of the song itself.
It's just having something to show, not something to say.

great vocalist = great pipes and range.
great singer = interprets the song.
Just changing dynamics in a song (or if you're Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera, hitting 6 octaves in every song) doesn't really do anything in terms of the song itself.
It's just having something to show, not something to say.
Who else do you have in that datase?

Nice tribute to her tonight, although it should've been entitled, "Whitney Houston, we have a problem".
No.
No.
Yes. I mean, no.
No, Chuck.
I'd just like to add that I hate when somebody who was popular during my adolescence dies because it just reminds me how much I hate my stupid generation.
You pick Whitney Houston to be a symbol of stupidity for your generation? She was one of the greatest female singers of all time.
Sarah Vaughan could say more with a whisper than Whitney Houston could by holding a note for 20 lip quivering seconds.
And yet Whitney Houston was somehow also an amazing singer.
She was an amazing vocalist.
So we agree. She was really good at singing.
great vocalist = great pipes and range.

Just changing dynamics in a song (or if you're Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera, hitting 6 octaves in every song) doesn't really do anything in terms of the song itself.

So then, in your expert opinion, Whitney Houston did not effectively interpret the songs as they were intended to be?
Did you feel that "The Greatest Love of All" was supposed to be interpreted differently?
Maybe more like Randy Watson?

Agreed: Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera are irritating vocal peacocks with no sense of taste or discretion.
Whitney Houston, however, was actually a legitimately great singer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DkHs7Kuido).
You old fuck.

Yeah but she wasted that talent on all that pop shit she sang. Not that there's anything wrong with pop music, but hers was lame.

That was way better than the actual song.
Good idea, keep arguing about this with Fork. He's sure to see the error of his ways and captiulate, instead of continuing to piss you guys off.
Really, it's Whitney Houston - let it go.

Christina, in her later, fatter years, has toned it down a bit (her back to basics stuff).
Could be she gets winded and/or hungry during songs. She has a great voice as well in my opinion.
But whatever Fork says. She wasn't born 100 years ago, so she sucks.

QuoteWhen the assistant returned to the locked room at 3:35 p.m., she found Houston "lying face down in the bathtub filled with water, unresponsive."
"The assistant called for her bodyguard, and together they pulled the decedent out of the bathtub," the report said.
