holy crap!

Just saw this. No doubt drugs contributed. Sad at only 48.
-
Damn. Still can't believe it. I was always pulling for her to get it together and make a comeback.
Supposedly she was found at the Beverly Hilton.

She might have been in town for the Grammys tomorrow.

Tho' JJ appears to have the night off, KPOO is playing nonstop Whitney.

Weird, I can remember exactly where I was when I first heard her sing The Greatest Love Of All, which I thought was super-over-the-top at the time. I was living in Brooklyn and was watching some TV show (Grammys?) on our small TV. I also liked How Will I Know?. I was never ashamed to sing along with her without changing the words. :)
The singers on Amer Idol, X Factor, etc, as well as established ones who sing all over the scale while doing the O-Face head-swiveling soul-diva hand-waving Wax On/Wax Off gestures (Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera) all want to be Whitney, but couldn't ever touch her God-given pipes.
-
Relating her death to 10@10, we are due for another visit to 1985 (coming up on 4 weeks since the last one--where has the time gone?), the year Whitney's debut album was released. Anyone care to wager that she'll be paid homage when that set happens, almost certainly this week?

Amen to that. It's a shame that her signature style seems to have been co-opted by so many singers today as a means of showing off their vocal prowess, and usually ends up only showing their lack thereof. RIP Whitney.

Local producer -- and the namesake for a 10at10 glossary term (http://www.10at10club.com/poc/glossary.html#N) -- "Narada" Michael Walden talks about Houston.
The Bay Area has a special connection to Whitney Houston. She recorded several of her hits at a studio in San Rafael
with a Grammy award winning producer.

Not surprisingly, sales of Whitney’s music jumped in the hours after she died, as more than 100,000 albums and nearly 900,000 individual tracks sold in a little over 24 hours:

I ended up tuning in about mid-funeral, and ended up watching the whole rest of it on MSNBC. The ending was quite emotional.

Kevin Costner's eulogy was quite moving, as well. The ending really was emotional. It's still shocking to me. :'(

The shtick at the end where the pallbearers just snatch the coffin up and rest it on their shoulders was gasp-inducing!
