Very sad that she's dead. RIP Whitney

Shocking, yet not. She let drugs and alcohol ruin her life. Very sad. She was extremely talented.

Just to add to this, the Grammys are going to be significantly revised to include tributes to Whitney Houston and include her in the list of music legends lost this past year.

IMO, they should postpone the Grammys. It'll just be too sad. What is really eerie is that early this afternoon, Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody came on the radio (WRBQ 104.7), hours before she passed. I have the same sadness and disbelief that I had when Michael Jackson died. Just seeing her picture on the TV with the dates just does not look right. This is absolutely tragic. And she was so young.    And this was just a week after Don Cornelius committed suicide.

They're not going to postpone the Grammys... They may make a tribute for her during it, but I don't see them postponing it.

Is it really surprising?  She has abused drugs for so long, and many people doubted her when she said she had become "clean."  Just last night on the BBC World Service they interviewed a studio executive who said as recently as hours before her death she looked terrible when she was seen by the public.
