Pop Queen Whitney Houston Dies at 48

Whitney Houston, who ruled as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, has died at the age of 48. Police responded to an emergency call at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles at about 3:45 p.m. PT, said Lt. Mark Rosen with the Beverly Hills police. Paramedics who were already at the hotel because of a Grammy party rushed to Houston's fourth-floor suite and attempted to revive her but they were unsuccessful, Rosen told KABC-TV.

Whitney, your music was the best. You touched many people around the world with your voice. Yes you had your faults and some people will say bad things about you, and not look at their faults. You will truly be missed. Rest in peace. God has already forgiven.

She just couldn't get off the booger sugar. She has looked like a sick woman the times I've seen her in the past couple years, pouring sweat, bloated in the face, a shame, she had a great voice.

It was a waste. She had talents that allowed her to reach the world with music. Instead. She lost it all to drugs. May she rip. but she should not be praised for her choices she made. She took for granted her gift. She was a addict. And it should not be forgotten. Let her mistake save others

Whitney and Bobby Brown were enablers battling drug addiction, the worst kind of relationship you could be in.

with people like her? Talent. money and the best they can do with it it is snuff it up their nose and kill them selves. It time to make selling drugs a capital offense and kill the lousy bums.

SO SAD...I GREW UP LISTENING TO THIS LADY WITH MY MOTHER. CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY. AND TO YOU LOSERS..YOU DONT WHAT SOMEONE IS GOING THROUGH TO PUSH THEM TO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL..WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE?

The few on here that are already judging her & her imperfections, better be checking their own closet as well. I bet they're pretty full of their own faults & imperfections too. Especially now. Remember if this can happen to her, it can happen to anyone out there that has or have had the same problems as she did. It's a terrible & tragic loss. Whether she had problems in her life, is still a sad loss just the same.

Whitney ranked up there with Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, Roberta Flack and all the great female singers. Her version of Dolly Parton's song I will always love you and the Star Spangle Banner were classics.

Sad little girl who gave her life to drugs. Blessed by God, but tempted by the devil. Her fate, the result of bad choices was her ruin. May her troubled soul now RIP.

RIP I remember when she was booed at the Soul Train Awards because she wasn't singing enough Black songs(R&B, Soul). She crossed every barrier of color with her voice. The bottom line is she brought more pleasure to peoples lives with her voice & music than all you haters can ever imagine. RIP
