And to think Whitney was one of the megastars less interested in money or material things I´ve ever seen... Compared to almost any other star of her caliber she was really humble and didn´t live in a particularly ostentatious way. Now all around her (without her these people wouldn´t exist) is about fame and money. Whitney was to blame for her demise, but the environment which surrounded her was key too. The fact that her brother introduced her to drugs... I don´t know. I´ve read many theories out there, and her family including her mother don´t look that good depending on who is relating the story. Maybe Clive, or that friend of hers in the 80s were a better influence than what we think. Now it doesn´t matter. The only real fact is that Whitney Houston is legend and the best or at least one of the top 5 singers in the history of popular music.
