Such a waste of a great God given talent. Maybe Ron “I don’t believe in outlawing hard drugs” Paul could comment on this.

Amazing voice, just amazing range....what a shame.

She began her career in the church choir, maybe she is at peace now.

Let’s be fair, we don’t know the cause of death, and the greatest ever singer might be some opera diva, not a pop celebrity, known for being known, and for drug use.

A spokesman was on CNN live saying her body had already been identified.

"Didn’t Amy Winehouse’s autopsy show that she died of an asthma attack?"

Nope - alcohol overdose. Here is a pic of Whitney from Thursday night ...

It’s strange. I know some people can’t even be in the same room as a beer after they quit. I was over a case (24) a day EVERY DAY for YEARS. Woke up to a beer, drank whenever I could get away with it, and went to bed with one on the night stand for the next morning. No BS. If that ain’t hardcore Alcoholism, I dunno what qualifies.

But since I quit, I have no desire to drink. I think when I did, I disgusted myself to the point that I’ll never ‘want’ another. And that’s something I truly feel blessed for. I know so many have such a hard time. And I’ll never take that for granted.

Now If I could just get that dang reloading thing figured out ;)

Probably the Best rendition I have ever heard.. With Desert Storm and her singing this, I was in Tears. She seemed so genuine in her emotions towards the song. I will always remember that moment.

LOL! They phoned her in New Jersey and she said she was fine. The dead Whitney is in Los Angeles.

This is really weird.
