[> May she rest in peace! She was so young still. I basically grew up with her, her music in the 80s and then her movies. How very sad. -- Colie, 20:52:47 02/11/12 Sat [1]

[> [> Same here, Colie- I'm only 4 years older than she was, so I was quite a fan of her music. Part of me understands that she was on a destructive path and that I shouldn't be too surprised by this news, but the other part of me is in denial-guess I just want to remember the good times. It's such a tough business to be in and survive. I thank God for her life, and the music she has left behind for us all to enjoy and remember. -- Matou/Carol, 21:24:38 02/11/12 Sat [1]

[> How heartbreaking! She was SO talent -- HUGE TALENT -- but so many demons engulfed her. ondolences to her family and friends and may she finally and forever RIP. -- mj, 04:49:43 02/12/12 Sun [1]

[> It is really sad for her child. I enjoyed Whotney Houston when I was younger. Another great entertainer falling to the same evils as everyday common people. Prescription drug abuse has become amulti-million dollar industry not only for pharmacuetical compainies but unethical doctors as well. Truly sad. -- TF, 12:13:48 02/12/12 Sun [1]

[> I honestly think her famed national anthem is the only time I've ever thought the song actually pretty -- chris k, 22:13:43 02/12/12 Sun [1]

[> [> Her performance of The Star Spangled Banner makes me cry every time I hear it! -- manette, 11:49:25 02/13/12 Mon [1]

[> This hit me in the gut and the feeling hasn't gone away! What a crying shame! I've rarely heard or seen a talent like hers! What a set of pipes! I hope that she went without fear and without pain. I hope even more that she did everything she was sent to this place at this time to do. -- Theresa, 23:46:33 02/12/12 Sun [1]

[> Truly a wonderful talent. Her struggles were tough and she died to young. May she be at peace now. My prayers are with her daughter and the rest of her family!! -- Cathy F., 15:56:39 02/13/12 Mon [1]

[> This is so sad. I loved her in The Bodyguard with Costner and her voice was absolutely beautiful. It's such a shame that her life was so controlled by drugs and so many times she tried to get clean. Pressures on many of these entertainers and some just can't cope. -- jenks, 18:14:03 02/13/12 Mon [1]

[> She was gorgeous with a gorgeous voice. I bought her first album years ago and played it over and over. The Greatest Love always gave me chills. Recently we lost Whitney and Etta James too. IMO two of the best singers ever. -- sad judi, 18:26:32 02/13/12 Mon [1]

[> [> I agree Judi, neither of those soulful women can be equalled. -- Theresa, 23:46:26 02/14/12 Tue [1]

[> So sad! She was such a beautiful and talented lady. It's such a shame that she hurt herself so much with drugs and alcohol. 48 is way too young! -- JJ (Ronda)--Everyone always talks about The Bodyguard, but I also really loved The Preacher's Wife--what an awesome soundtrack!, 20:16:53 02/13/12 Mon [1]

[> It's so sad. Her beautiful voice was damaged, and that must have been so hard on her. I have a feeling the Greatest Love is going to be making a lot of people cry. -- Cece, 23:52:56 02/13/12 Mon [1]

[> [> That song has been in my head since I heard of her passing! But "I will always Love you" is the one that brought both Colie and I to tears. Not only when Jennifer Hudson nailed it at the Grammy's but to hear her sing with that power and purity was just amazing. Wherever she is now, whatever happens when people leave us, she's getting her come back. Until there is evidence to the contrary that's what I'm believing! -- Theresa, 23:35:21 02/14/12 Tue [1]
