Just heard as well and of course it was drugs and the POS she married.  What a monumental waste of pure talent.  Forty-eight ain't old.  RIP Whitney.

What a voice.

Re: RIP Whitney Houston

On the eve of the Grammy Awards, which she won 6 of, what an exit. Pretty sad end to a brilliant talent ruined by wrong choices. Only info so far was she was found at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Many a slow dance I danced to her songs back in the day.

Lets not rush to judgement about the drug issue visa vie Bobby Brown.   They haven't been together for awhile..  What a tragic end and such a waste of talent and another bright light silenced.     A very sad day indeed.

Most pure and perfect female voice ever.  The power, tone and natural vibrato still gives me goosebumps 20 years later.  Too much time wasted.  Tragic loss.

Re: RIP Whitney Houston

Whitney's music was not my music, but I still have to say, what a voice! Hers was without question the all-time greatest rendition of our national anthem. I was frozen in place when I heard it, mesmerized. Seeing a clip yesterday, it has lost none of its power.

Sadly, such an exquisite songbird fell to earth all too soon. In this day of autotune and American Idol wailing, it's doubly sad to see that she could not control her demons. Addiction is so destructive, not only to the person afflicted with it, but to those whose lives that person touches. Whitney touched millions.

RIP, Whitney.

Re: RIP Whitney Houston

Thanks Joe, for speaking up.  Speculation was that she fell asleep in the tub? and maybe drowned?

NO illicit drugs found in the room, last I heard...

RIP

Re: RIP Whitney Houston

If you can trust TMZ reporting the coroner said there wasn't enough water found in her lungs to have drowned. A mixture of prescription meds and alcohol are the suspected cause. They also reported security had to enter her daughters room the day before when she didn't answer calls and she was found asleep in the bath tub.

Re: RIP Whitney Houston

Very sad. What a voice! Those Gospel roots were apparent. I have to say this saddens me more due to obvious signs of trouble, as recent as last week, yet nobody intervened. I know that I don't know all the facts. I'll wait for the official report, but I can't help feeling this is another wasted life..and talent. My heart goes out to her family. RIP indeed. Cathy
