Being an 80’s baby i still remember her well at the peak of her success, its crazy how things can end up. Not only was she a great talent, i think people forget how attractive of a woman she was as well, during her peak that is, prior to addiction.

She was a crackhead from the start. Don’t get it twisted.

Yeah, I can’t think of any famous pale persons that died of drug overdoses… except for…
Elvis
Janis Joplin
Jim Morrison
Maryilin Monroe
River Pheonix
James Belushi
Chris Farley
Amy Winehouse
Lindsey Lohan (soon to be added to the list)
And this is off the top of my head. I don’t feel like digging into the bowels of google to find the rest of the list.
Seriously dumbass time to bring out the angry black man.

This is true of any celebrity dying isn’t it?
Am I supposed to feel sorry? She was a drug addict going in and out of rehab - what was going to happen?
It’s not that I don’t feel sorry for her or her family, but I’m not exactly going to be mourning either.

I’m a little confused now.
A crackhead with a nice voice is still a crackhead.
This is why I hate drugs.

Oops. Always forget about the live one.
You also forgot that all those celebs you listed were killed by the cia for sleeping with the kennedy brothers…
Fark’s headline for this was funny: Whitney Beats Bobby Brown to Death.
RIP. She was a great at what she did as were those that wrote/composed her songs (and with that said they might have been done just as well by someone else but that’s a story for another date). I never knew how to jump on the “let’s hate people with addictions” wagon because having an addiction is just a personal health issue or a reflection of one.
RIP Whitney.

disagree.
as humans we share the ability to choose.
It matters not that the author of her demise may have been illicit drugs; for today’s illicit drugs may some day be legal. Whether it is crack, or alcohol, tobacco, FOOD, etc. - we all make choices every day that possibly contribute to our ultimate demise, some sooner than others.
Under your logic (which from an emotional standpoint is understandable) should we begin to blame those that gave someone their first Happy Meal? The first drink? The first cigarette? How about we indict McDonalds? The alcohol manufacturers?
People go to McDonald’s all the time, some frequently, some very infrequently. Some people try illicit drugs at a party, and either return frequently, infrequently, or never again.
Choice. Some of us have a stronger willpower. Others of us are genetically predisposed to make those choices poorly when it comes to certain things.
As far as her “catalyst” it was probably her fame, which gives her access to a certain lifestyle and entitlement to try anything she damn pleases.
Now her songs will be in rotation for the next several days until your ears bleed.

Let me get this right then;
So the respective media treatment of Whitney and Heath were driven by race?
Last I checked Whitney was derided by the black community for being a crack-head and the butt of jokes about herself and Bobby.
Crack also does not have a “race” and the fact is, crack is associated with more societal ills than pills and such, although that is changing given that pill (painkiller and such) addiction is rising dramatically along with the crime that comes with it.
Whitney was also a cross-over artist that I believe, quite frankly, was treated fairly gently by the media given her troubles.

This is true but I had to put up with her diva ways during filming of our movie. That shit was not easy. She was quite a handful - didn’t you see the movie? I even had to tuck her into bed one night and I got no release!!!

Kind of like how people were in a rush to tear down the image and life work of Joe Paterno?

And T-Nation already has one angry black man and that’s the quota for any web site. This dude will have to find another site or, adopt a different persona.
Sad, lady had a helluva voice, just goes showm anyone (irrespective of their level of fame & fortune etc) can develop bad habits & die a good 20-30-40+ years too soon.
