Down and out in Beverly Hills?
true dat
Whitney Houston was brought up in the church, gospel singer and most likely ‘accepted’ Christ as Savior during that time.
You know...Christ came to this earth for us and once we accept Him we are His for eternity. We may turn our back on Him but He never turns His on us.
What a tragedy.
She had such talent until she went over the edge.
Thanks for the post of Whitney singing the National Anthem. I watched her live and again tonight and I still marvel at her talent.
Let’s make this video the way we remember her.
“No serious important news for the rest of the weekend!”
I agree.
Yes, the song is beautiful.
But that was all in the past. Whitney Houston WAS talented. But she threw it all away.
Her present life was a disaster typical of an addict who doesn’t seek help.
Her voice was gone, she was a shell of her former self.
And I imagine her relationships all sucked too.
May she rest in peace.
Thanks for listing those songs. She had an absolutely amazing voice. Her songs bring back a lot of bittersweet memories.
Indeed. Rest in peace Whitney Houston. Our sincere condolences to her family.
1st Timothy chapter 6 verse 9 says it all. That said, RIP Whitney.
“Drugs are bad..m’kay???”
That was a great rendition of the National Anthem, because, even though she did a bit of warbling, the basic tune was always still there.

Truly a voice that was a gift from God. I pray that she makes it to heaven to sing with the angels. She is the only person who ever sang “I Will Always Love You” better than Dolly Parton, who wrote the song.
I imagine that Bobby is feeling sorry for himself today.
the streets of America will be full of idiots crying and waling...
this woman lived on hard drugs daily since 1995, I refuse to morn her...
Whitney Huston is at total PEACE and COMFORT and that is what she has been searching for...most of her life...may her family and friends morn her and then move on..
The media is thrilled to be able to deflect from Obama’s attack on the First Amendment.
