I'm quite surprised that there's so many wowed by her passing.

Her and Bobby Brown's drugs antics were stuff of legends, it's no surprise she's ended up like this.

It's sad, but like Amy Winehouse it's something that could have been easily predicted. Another talent lost to hard drugs.

Well, personally I'm wowed by this because it's Whitney Fucking Houston. We all know about the drugs but man...

It was Whitney Fucking Houston.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Whoa. Earlier today I was at the supermarket checkout, and saw one of those tabloid rags with a headline that said she was in dire straits (unhealthy, addicted, penniless, etc). First time I'd thought about her in years, and now comes this.

A wonderful voice on a tragic and self-destructive path. RIP

 

[neojubei]

I cannot believe it. RIP

 

[Azure J]

Jesus, that's a hard blow to my 90s nostalgia right there. R.I.P.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

NO WAY!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Can't say it was unexpected, but RIP

 

[BFA]

Ugh 48 is still way too young...

 

[Warrior_Keoni]

Rest in peace Whitney.

[GeoramA]

Shocked. RIP.

She was such an amazing talent. Sucks what drugs did to her career and life.

 

[GhaleonEB]

48 is far too young. Very sad.

Such an incredible talent. Shame she didn't take care of herself.

 

[bitoriginal]

I cracknt believe it.

I was feeling pretty somber, but shit, I laughed. This is pretty shocking news.

 

[Zee-Row]

I knew this would eventually happen , It just sucks that it actually did happen.

damn

Her yesterday

 

[Soma]

daaaamn, i thought she was doing better too.

that's really sad. Rest in Peace, Whitney.

 

[My Sedatives]

Drugs are bad. Sorry, she could have been the biggest pop/R&B star on the planet, but we all know this story.

 

[IrishNinja]

Kevin Costner, who reportedly has not shown up to work in 20 years, has been fired.

haha, damn.
also, RIP.

 

[eznark]

Is "this came out of nowhere" just kind of people's polite response when they have nothing else to say? I mean, any picture of her over the last decade screams: "dead soon"

 

[Novid]

FUCK.

My Sisters LOVED her.

Damn. They are devastated.

 

[lunchtoast]

Shocking. Wonder what was going on with her.

 

[PigSpeakers]

I will always love her.

 

[Bollocks]

This hits me really hard actually, RIP Whitney

 

[bigtroyjon]

48 in human years, 108 in crackhead years.

 

[Professor Beef]

48? Good lord, that's young.

 

[Einbroch]

Really wasnt bobby's fault. Her brother got her hooked on drugs

Wasn't anyone's fault but her own, to be honest.

 

[perfectnight]

Do you live in a basement?

He was too busy being an anime connoisseur

 

[RiderKairuu]

This thread is full of "you laugh you lose"

 

[Tunic]

Way too young. Definitely inspired and influenced many pop singers. RIP

 

[outunderthestars]

no remorse for drug addicts. oh well. goodnight.

Do we really need this kind of attitude?

People are not suddenly bad people simply because they become addicted to drugs or alcohol.

There are plenty of other internet forums for internet bravado and callousness. Let's not make GAF one of them.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

They gave her Bobby Brown jaw.

these jokes are killin' me tonight, even though I know I shouldn't laugh

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Whoa.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Why couldn't it have been THIS Whitney?

 

[Ties]

Damn.

RIP to one of the greatest female vocalists of all time.

 

[spindashing]

Drugs are bad. Sorry, she could have been the biggest pop/R&B star on the planet, but we all know this story.

I'm sure she may not have been the biggest artist on the planet, but she surely made her presence known in the field regardless.

It's still sad that she did die from drugs, if that is the case. Most likely is.

Why couldn't it have been THIS Whitney?

Let's not wish death onto someone else. I don't find her funny either, but still.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Jesus, that's a hard blow to my 90s nostalgia right there. R.I.P.

I'm going to make the nostalgia cry right now

 

[Mdeezy]

rip

 

[maniac-kun]

Damn. Thats sad

 

[aeiko]

what the fuck?

get out of here with that

lol stfu

 

[OchreHand]

wtf...? RIP the VOICE

The Grammy's will be interesting to see how they handle this.

 

[Eric Draven]

RIP Whitney Houston... Another legend gone too soon

 

[Satch]

I'm going to make the nostalgia cry right now

welp

where are my tissues

 

[Josta]

Such a shame. Best wishes to her family and friends.

 

[perfectnight]

I'm going to make the nostalgia cry right now

Aw sheeit

 

[akira28]

It's sad. I saw her in a tabloid just yesterday. They were saying she was leaving a party looking 'worse for wear'. I hope that she's in a happier place, and that her family isn't in too much pain. I also hope that people learn from her example. People always say they see it coming, but when it comes, it's still shocking that it actually happens.

damn

Her yesterday

every picture there is...horrible.

 

[jenov4]

Damn, rest in peace. My mom was a big fan of hers in the 80's. What a shame. So young.

 

[Juice]

Was shocked she was still alive. My wife and I both could have sworn she are already dead.

 

[Gaborn]

wow, RIP.

 

[CielTynave]

He was too busy being an anime connoisseur

This... isn't too far off from the truth >_>

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Oh dear, the Grammys are tomorrow aren't they? They better get that tribute in order, stat.
