I've never seen 'The Bodyguard', either, Cori. I was, what, 8 when it came out?
For those blaming Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston was a grown woman and made all her own choices. There is no one to blame but her
Sad but true. I think Bobby Brown's always come off as a jerk and certainly didn't help matters at all, but yeah, I do have to agree with this.
The biggest pricks a can think of are the people who laughed when her death was announced at an event I was attending, the guy who said at least we still have bobby and the guy sitting by me now at dinner who said good when someone told him.
Why am I surrounded by such assholes tonight?
Gotta love people's total lack of sensitivity.
My favorite Whitney Houston song.
I
loved that song when I was a kid. I think part of it was the video-so many bright colors and she was dancing around all happy and such, for little kids that's enough entertainment right there
. I remember coming across a cover of it by David Byrne on You Tube a while back, I rather liked his take on it.
I'm not going to lie, when Jennifer Hudson sang "I Will Always Love You" tonight at the Grammys, I got choked up. It's a sad enough song to begin with, so in this context...yeah.
Great song, though. Loved Whitney's version of it.
My friend told me about this news last night. Definitely surprised me, so incredibly sad. I said this in another thread, that even if you kinda know this is a possibility for an artist, it's still one of those things that you can't imagine actually happening, that you hope they get their help and can rebound, 'cause hey, other stars have come back from that sort of crap. I felt the same way about Amy Winehouse, too.
Add in the fact that 48 is far too young to go, and that her daughter is without a mother now, and it's all the more upsetting. People's deaths shouldn't have to have this sort of stuff hovering over it.
It's just so surreal. Rest in peace, Whitney.
