I'm in shock. We have a lot our love and respect for her. Whitney Houston had a great God-given voice. She was a musical genius and expressed her talent among a lot of avenues. She was raised in a Gospel household from Newark, New Jersey. In our generation, she was one of a kind. Of course, she wasn't perfect. We know her imperfections. Yet, her musical legacy could never be tarnished. She shared her gifts to the world. She was one of the greatest singers of all time. Whitney Houston brought singing to a whole other level during Generation X and to the younger generations. There will never be another Whitney Houston. Her head voice was second to none. She knew how to hit every single note and octaves as well. Whitney Houston's unique voice can never, ever become duplicated. Before Jennifer Hudson, before Mariah Carey, before Leona Lewis, before Brandy, before Monica, before Toni Braxton, before Mya, before Beyonce, before Rihanna, before Kelly Price, before Faith Evans, before Christina Aguilera, before Adele, before Amerie, and before a lot of great singers, there was Whitney. There was Whitney Houston and everyone else. Whitney Houston inspired the younger generation of musicians in general without question. Every single great singer that I have mentioned were influenced one way or another by Whitney Houston. She was the first black person on Seventeen Magazine. All of us knew about Whitney Houston and not only her musical talent. We realized that she had compassion, strength, and a strong religious ethos in her heart. You have to feel concern & outright sympathy for her family and friends. She is one of the special people in the human race that passed away. In my youth, I remember her songs, videos, interviews, and movies (like the Bodyguard and the Preacher's Wife). She was a strong sister and her legacy lives on. Her life reminds us to improve our lives (and it's a time of reflection). We should have not only happiness, humor, and joy (which are all great parts of life). We should exist to formulate self reflection, to encourage understanding of our issues, and to promote peace plus tolerance for our fellow man. Miss Whitney Houston was only 48 years old.
RIP to Whitney Houston

I was not a fan in the beginning, although I did enjoy many of her songs. I was one who was disappointed w/ the audience she seemed to be targeting. However, when I heard her sing the Star Spangled Banner at the World Series (pre-recorder or not) I was hooked from then on.
There are no words to explain the magnificence of her singing. Her voice was one that really had no comparison.

I'm in shock about Whitney's passing, she will be missed but certainly not forgotten. So many of our black entertainers have died at an early age.

May she rest in peace.

So while people will be blaming her or Bobby Brown for using the crack,cocaine. I hope they find out or realized who really was behind the whole crack cocaine genocide program.
Rest in Peace Sister and maybe this might wake up black men and black women to stop the disunity and sell-out,updated slave type behavior once and for all.
How many more classic black people will be lost to guns,drugs and other self destructiive,self hating type behavior
