l hate dumbass 4 words reactions but this time most people wrote something touching 😥 😥

SHE WAS “THE” VOICE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qr3jWrocDM
Who the hell is Melanie Amaros and Eric Hudson? You said Celebrities boo.
I love.whitney one of.the greatist.voices
Whitney was underrated in this blog. NOTICE every singer has tired to be like whitney vocally but nobody does like her.
Ciara just commented on her death too.
So did INOJ.
i can’t at Whitney. you know we goin hard tonight. The gorls gonna be drunk as hail tonight singin those Whitney classics
God bless you Whitney.
I truly hope you are at peace.
You deserve a tribute tomorrow at the Grammys. They should be scrambling left and right to find the perfect artist to sing the perfect song in the perfect setting.
R.I.P Whitney.
My heart can’t take all of this loss. Look at Bryan Michael C**’s comment: “In one month we lost Etta James, Don Cornelius, and Whitney Houston. All in black history month, unbelievable”.
I know death is a part of life, but it is still so hard. I’m speechless. Please pray for her friends and family. 🙁
@BOOPI,,,Agree with you.
BTW I’m hearing right now that Jennifer Hudson is probably involved in a drastically changed Grammys.
I’m going ahead and start purchasing Whitney’s songs on iTunes…and I hope that you’ll all follow. Whitney deserves to leave at the top just as she came.
I’m pretty sure Whitney will have a tribute, which should include a great line up of singers she influenced over the course of 20 something years.
Mariah, Beyonce, J-Hud, Brandy, Monica, Fantasia, Christina A., Marsha Ambrosha and the whole 9 would be a fantastic line up.
@*NEWBIE I see her greatest hits are #2 on itunes right now.
@Lax Yeah, this is very painful. 🙁
Rihanna is the only one who is sincere. The rest are just trying to gain attention and it’s pathetic.
God truly works in mysterious ways. He’s killing everybody but Fist Brown. If not him, then at least get rid of his ugly fat mother.
God Knows what he does this things, but is so hard, she was to me the greatest Female voice of all times, she has the power of make you feel sad even when the song is about happiness. R.I.P. Dear Whitney we Will Always Love You.
Today is Brandy’s birthday and she LOOOOOOOVES Whitney. I just cant take this.
wow 🙁
R.I.P
They needa get letoya miguel maxwell ledisi, good singers that are underrated and rarely ever seen perform
@Kat Duluna Fan
You just had to there didn’t you….stupid dumb C***
And for the record Rihanna wrote more than that after
You dumbass stans just dont know when to stop it!!!!!!!!!
*go
I was so mad i can’t even type right
Why couldnt it have been Madonna. Not Whitney.
im cry cry cry and cry
ON TODAY I JUST ASK TO GOD WHY WHY NOW
AND ASK MYSELF ABOUT HER DAUGHTER? GOD, SO sad
THINK ABOUT UR LITTLE GIRL STAY WITHOUT HER LOVELY MOM, WHY GOD , U KNOW WHY but we always askng WHY
cant imagine , she’s gone ,it’s so insurmontable , we always gonna love u and remember u ,and ur voice
THIS LOVELY SWEETY CUTE AND POWERFUL VOICE
SAY HELLO TO MJ, ETTA JAMES , AND ALL THE OTHERS ,
Sigh, RIP Whitney.
You went too damn soon. You were supposed to come back and…just take over.
Sigh…we’ve lost so much this month.
God rest her soul, The Grammy’s need to be dedicated to and centered around her. I don’t wanna hear anyone else’s song but Whitney’s.
…sigh.
R.I.P THE GREATEST VOICE EVER!!!!!!

I’m going ahead and start purchasing Whitney’s songs on iTunes…and I hope that you’ll all follow. Whitney deserves to leave at the top just as she came.
—————————————————————————————–
I’m right behind you tomorrow when I get my head right. I can’t do much of anything right now.
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
@ROYALKEV
I’m sure there will be A LOT of negative things that we’ll be reading over the next few days, weeks, about this tragedy so having her songs high on iTunes, 30-20 years after their initial release would bring some positivity.
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!!! 🙁 🙁 🙁
shocking news* Rest in Peace Whitney Houston.
@ Newbie
I’m finding it hard to even listen to Whitney songs because I’m still holding back tears. I know that tomorrow I’m buying everything Whitney. I like how you said it, she deserves to go out on top!
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
still in shock, lord help us-GREATEST SINGER WHITNEY RIP GIRL!!! GO has your soul now
Rich n black, yall really making the beyhive look bad. Stop the b*******. Like you’ve never done anything bad in your life. So what if she did drugs? Who are you to judge someone? Just a piece of s*** fatass behind the computer. Get a life.
RIP WHITNEY. #THEVOICE
My soul hurts…from one singer to another, I have admired you since a child, god bless your soul and prayers to your family.
FInally she is dead. Thats what you get for living on a diet of crack. Rot in hell, Nippy.
@BEY FUCKKKKKKK U!!!
Fake Beyonce stans to make real stans look bad + other haters, this post is not about a war. It’s the ultimate moment of peace/
Bobbi Kris 🙁
Hard to believe it.
Literally here yesterday then gone the next just like that OMG.
Bless up to the family.
@bey u fake bey stan get the f*** outta here … U really think bey would go for that ignorant b*******??? Get some help .. Anyway my deepest love and respect to whitney and her family! We’ve lost the greatest voice to EVER hit a microphone!
It doesn’t meatier if she was on drugs or not she was still human with human issues and drugs are a hard habit to break especially when you have the money Whitney had it was apart of her life but she don’t deserve bashing from people on here have respect for her and her family, you could go 2morow and it don’t have to be because of drugs so just keep the negative comments to yourself. RIP to the Voice herself.
Its so sad!, i also feel for Brandy who found Whitney to be one of her inspirations, who’s birthday it was yesterday and who has to preform tonight.
R.I.P Whitney. Although psychically you are no longer with us your music lives on
blessings to her family. may they find strength to get through this most difficult time.
i was not a fan of hers during her earlier career but later her voice won me over. when i hear some of her earlier songs now i can’t image what i didn’t like.
i’m still waiting for them to announce there’s been a mistake but i know that won’t happen.
rip whitney.
I feel sorry for her daughter and mother.
i am sooo soo sad, i’m crying, my head hurts my musical idol is gone. i hate blogs and tabloids who made her life hell
how could she go, she looked so vibrant and happy this week, krissi and all her family were there with her.
God why, i am just so so sad, don’t know what to do or say my nippy is gone
RIP Whitney
I really dont know what to say. I just found out on tgj momentarily, who could’ve seen this coming. Only God knows how he works. I thank him for blessing us with Whitney’s talent in the 1st place and her for working hard to leave a legacy behind that has been inspiring millions of lives before she passed away and this will only continue in her death. That’s the most any of us can ask for; to leave a legacy behind.
Like Solange said, it doesnt matter how she passed away. Death is a debt every soul must pay. Whitney will be remembered for being the voice of our generation. Her influence outweighs any blemish in her personal life.
Not grew up with her, but all i know she is an amazing singer.
A very talented live performer and leave us with epic records.
Another icon leave us,… Deeply I’m so sad and hope her soul will rest in peace.
The Greatest of All and I Will Always Love You is my fav of all time.!!!
R.I.P XOXO Queen Whitney Houston.
The grammys are really in a tight position. I think they shd give her a honorable mentionn even speak about her but not bother with a tribute performance this year, its gonna fall short no matter what n the stupid public wont understand that they’re just gonna go head n criticise the hell out of whatever artist is up there forgettin that they may be grieving too. It’s less than 24hrs, it’s too fresh. Next year they can put something befitting together.
W H I T N E Y I W I L L A L W A Y S L O V E Y O U.
CNN is getting on my nerves with the Jennifer Hudson comparisons. She is NO Whitney Houston. They really need to stop with that mess. There will never be another Whitney Houston. Talent like that is one of a kind, it can’t be duplicated and it cannot be replaced….EVER!
Oops i spoke too soon, Jhud is doing the tribute (gotta love her) and probably Chaka Khan too. I hope they do the best they can considering the circumstance. I have no expectations. Celebrating Whitney’s life is more than enough for me.
OMG WHITNEY!!!!!
MY HEART GOES TO HER FAMILY!
GOD LIFE IS RUDE!!!
don’t forget to include Timbaland: https://twitter.com/#!/Timbaland
The greatest pop/R&B female vocalist ever
She will forever be a legend and an influence on vocalists
..Next Mariah Carey…!!!!!!!! 😀
@Lily GaGa,
Lady GaGa is the publicity w**** who should have died, not Whitney! The world deserves vocal talent, not some cheap wannabe s*** who depends on hype. I sincerely hope that Lady Gaga dies this year from her lupus bulimia whatever – the world doesn’t a reductive piece of s*** and her little useless donkeys ..i mean monsters!
THE BEST NEWS OF 2012 !!!!!
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
I dunno how anyone can find it in their heart to wish death upon anyone especially someone whom has never harmed you, unaware of your existence. Why cant it be as simple as love em or leave em? Monsters (not referring to Gaga’s fans) behind the screen really need to be nipped away from civilisation
R.I.P LEGENDARY WHITNEY HOUSTON THE GREATeST VOICE OF ALL TIME YOUR MUSIC AND THE WAY YOU TOUCH EVERYONE HEARTS WORLD WIDE WILL LIVE ON FOREVER AND EVER I LOVE YOU WHITNEY HOUSTON FoREVER UR GONE BUT NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN…
Lady Gaga and her stupid age-discriminating monsters should have been the ones who died today. They have no respect for legends.
I guess we will get our wish soon as that reductive w**** will exhaust herself to death with her stupid tour.
Disrespectful monsters should all die. Lady Gaga should die this 2012.
Ok I wa able to not share actual tears since I knew about this an hour ago, but now I´m definitely crying. First time it happened to me with a music star. My Whitney, one of the 4 biggest ever has gone. I can´t believe this. ARETHA´s comment was the one that finally made me lose it
Because of her disrespectful monsters, I sincerely pray Lady Gaga dies the most horrible of all type of death, and bring along her monsters with her to hell! F You little monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whitney was THE greatest voice of all time not one of….
RIP to THE voice,no-one will ever come close to the talent that was Nippy! NO-ONE’S VOICE WILL TOUCH NIPPY’S!
and @MAD,the f***? did u just wish death upon another human being? wow,what has the world come to? where’s the humanity gone to? I don’t really like Gaga,but her music is great(some of it) (and still that is not the point,the point is how can you wish death another person? that’s wrong man!
R.I.P Shocking! May your soul rest in peace. #IWillAlwaysLoveYou
:Dolly parton
Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song, and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, “Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed

I hope Gaga…not Whitney because I cant stand monsters and their attitude.
