This one's for you Whiteny.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-v5sdyEcE0
I fell in love to your music in my youth Whiteny. I'm sad the world made you make the choices you've made. You inspired a relationship that resulted in my child. I'm sorry you're voice was so beautiful and your message so pure.

Do you judge a flame as it's flickering away? Or remember the brightness of it's glory? She had a fire in her that burned for a small time and from that came genius. Those who've been effected by the fire often try to cling to it's warmth long past it's time. She was glorious and broken in front of the world by her man. Her flame was put out by a man and the drugs helped her feel like she did back before.

The world made her do nothing. She chose the choices she made. Not her ex-husband. Not anyone else. Her. There are plenty of people in this world who have had it much, much, MUCH worse than she had it, and they chose not to self-destruct. They chose not to make similar choices. You don't get to take her responsibility for her own actions away from her.
But she was beautiful in more ways than one. First time I ever danced with a girl was to a Whitney Houston song. So long ago, but I remember it vividly. Greatest female voice in the history of modern popular music.

So you're saying she was on top of the world and one day said "Hey anyone got some crack?" Or did things happen on this planet that wore her towards a place in life that crack seemed like a nice relief?

Wouldn't be the first time a public figure loved by all was fed crack by a CIA or FBI agent till they crashed and burned. Just saying  But no, I don't think that's the case.

she wasted her talent and her life, the only sad thing is that we could not kill her of 20 years ago and give those 20 years to someone who would not squander them, like Terry Pratchett or Robert Jordan or Stephen Hawking.
she dug her own grave a line of grain at a time.

I said what I said, nothing more and nothing less. Feel free to resort to hyperbole if you must. But you are changing your tune. First, you said "the world made you make the choices you've made". Now, you temper that sentiment a bit, saying instead, "things happen...what wore her towards a place in life...". Your previous statement and newest statement are considerably different. Which is it? Did the world make her make the choices she made? Or did it wear her towards a place where self-medication was a relief? Again, those ideas are not equal to one another. But I do agree with you that she found herself in a place where drugs were a relief, an escape. I am very sure she had her reasons for the choices she made. Not excuses, but reasons. An abusive cunt of a man. The suffocating pressure that in inherent with a career like hers. All of it. I can hardly imagine. But Illmyrin, I'll say it again: Somewhere out there is a person who has been through a hell that was worse but chose to deal with it in a more positive manner. There are many stories out there in which this is the case, and they are truly stories of human greatness. Choice is a powerful word. Your words suggest that you tend perceive yourself as having an external locus of control. A perception that attaches control of personal choices to external forces that are beyond our control. I choose not to think about myself or the world in this way. I do not easily detach myself from my choices, nor do I easily release others from responsibility for their choices. This doesn't mean I am without compassion, empathy or sympathy, be it for Whitney Houston or anyone else.

My high school sex fantasy used to be that I'd get home from school and find Whitney Houston and Vanna White doing a lesbo thing in the living room. I'd watch for about 20 minutes and then we'd turn it into a threesome.
I guess that's not gonna happen.

While I recognize Houston's talent and the beauty of her music, it wasn't my cup of tea. I am saddened by this waste of life and waste of her talent and find it tragic, like I find all the loss of life to drugs tragic.
On the other hand, in about 5 minutes, this Ryan Montbleau cat you linked here will be the first new music I've purchased since I bought Jonny Lang's Wander This World back in 1998. Thanks!
