^^ Yeah they would retract their stories about Whitney's money troubles. Girl always had money. When she was alive, they concocted their broke stories, now she's dead "oh she was wealthy". Whatever with the media.

A lot of Whitney's fans don't care for Patricia Houston. I can remember back when "I Look to You" came out and Whitney was doing a phone interview with Tom Joyner. They asked her if she was going to tour and Whitney said no, she didn't want to but they are trying to get her to. You could hear Pat Houston yelling in the background "yes, yes she's going to tour". All she was thinking about was money. Whitney did not want to tour, she knew the risk, she didn't even want to come back really, she knew what the industry was about. Oh and for the record, Forbes magazine has said that Whitney was not broke and extremely wealthy. Now why couldn't they defend her while she was alive when the story broke a few weeks ago.

Something about Pat rubs me the wrong way.

Me too. Her speech was so impersonal for someone that spent a lot of time around Whitney.

I hope the poster Entertainer is okay. I remember he or she used to post a lot of news about Whitney on here.

Yeah, we been together for a minute. No kids though. I want a beagle or a lab retriever instead

So happy to hear your good news.

And yes, sometimes the family only gets together for weddings and funerals.

Labs are fun, but beagles look adorable and lovable.

Celebrity Net worth is reporting that Houston's net worth is now at 5 million, A shameful descent fform some 150 million in her heyday. Drugs and lifestyle choices have taken their toll on her wealth. Being that she is not a songwriter per se`, she will not receive artist royalties from Sony Music Entertainment due to being advanced so far into the future. Merchandising and movie residuals is where the estate will receive monies hereafter.

^^ I want to buy that "required" greatest hits cd from Whitney because (shamed to say) although I have the Bodyguard soundtrack on vinyl, I did not convert to CD and I didn't buy any of my other Houston favorites through the years.

I want to get one to add to my meager collection as my honor to The Voice... but I feel torn since I keep reading that Clive Davis and Sony will get this money and not Whitney's daughter.

And before anyone throw shade on me for not having her cd's in my collection, truth is, I am cheap, and Houston's music was played SO MUCH on the radio.... I never needed to buy her music.

Even now, when I want to hear her music, I can just turn on the radio... but I know that period will soon pass. So I want to add to my collection because ....

[wow, the reality is hitting me and causing me to tear up]

I want to add to my collection because I know that we will never hear another singer as gifted as Whitney. And when I am (God willing) really old, I want to be able to pull out that old CD player and put on her CD and tell my grand kids, "now this is a woman that could SANG"

I don't know if I should wait until the price gouging it over, or buy now to support this phenonemen of Whitney dominating the charts one last time.

I'm sitting here reading some of this bullshit on this site and it has taken every iota of humility in speech away from me as a Christian. Some of these comments about this woman's memorial service and her loved ones who took part are ridiculous, point blank.

People in here passing judgement on the Winans, who took part in memorializing their friend, need to get off their case. How dare you cast aspersions on those people in their time of grief? When your kid or best friend or relative dies, then you go plan their damn funeral the way you like it and leave other people alone.

SO WHAT, they sang the girl into heaven and took their time? Ain't 'chall neva been to a Pentecostal church (which is the denomination the Winans family belong to)? We're lucky that funeral didn't go on with singing and praising and breaking out in tongues til Midnight.

When it's all said and done what it boils down to is: THAT'S THEIR FRIEND, not OURS. people kill me skating in here via keyboard and arm chair judging about who is supposed to do what at somebody else's damn funeral that they don't even know from Adam.

Newsflash : That shit is tacky, played out, and disrespectful to the dead. .

If anybody feels that strongly about honoring Whitney Houston, then damn, write a condolence card, send a donation to one of her charities or to a charity in her name. But let it rest with all this coulda woulda shoulda shpiel because the fact is you don't know any better than anyone that was there- what Whitney Houston would've wanted or expected from her friends & loved ones during a time like this. I don't know and neither do you.

All I do know is that when it's my time to go, I want the people who mean the most to me in good times and bad to pray over my body, ask for mercy and grace from the Savior, and damn skippy , sing me into glory for as long as it takes... and to hell with what anybody from the outside looking in says about it. Praise and worship need not know a time limit, especially from those I don't even know personally who 1) likely don't even know Christ (and when i say know I mean KNOW, as in active relationship with Him one-on-one and through His Word), and 2) people who don't even know me.

I love this board and I dig so many of you here, but it's threads like these that disappoint me and show me how ugly and petty people can be, and for what? It's a damned shame that this is what a person's memorial thread has come to. Not honoring the memory of the person who passed on at all except for the respectful few. Beyond that it's fast becoming layer upon layer of fuckery that does nothing but make the stomach turn

Damn shame.

Yeah! Totally agree. I hurt my head from shaking so much reading this thread. Some people really should shut the fuck up and stop their arm chair I-know-it-better-than-anyone-else, when in fact they really know jack-shit. Some ugly-ugly people here.

Timmy84 said:

I do agree about that. Aretha definitely has had it rough. I guess she didn't feel she needed to be there and actually do grieve in private... and everything said here including what I said was just speculation. But the funeral's over so let's just let Whitney rest in peace finally.

i'm totally in agreement with Timmy84's words.

That's currently unknowable.

She does receive royalties from sales.

What she actually owes and what Sony is able to write off would also effect future payments.

I don't think Celebrity Net worth what her actual worth was at the time of her death.

So what if she was broke when she died? She earned it and therefore could spend it as she saw fit and as she chose to, just like the rest of us.

Criticizing her spending in my opinion just hating. Using her daughter as a excuse to judge is just that, an excuse to judge. Bobbi Kristina had two parents, both of whom worked.

Bobbi Kristina is also old enough to get a job. The fact that her mother was Whitney Houston doesn't exempt her making an effort to support herself.

do what I do, just take them from offline. I've been just having a ball listening to whitney. Never was a big fan, I'm a minimalist so all the vocal gymnastics never really took to me. But now I'm listening again and loving it all. The production was interesting and I'm sure she had a lot to do with what she sang. Last night, late into the night, i was listening to her and thinking why it's so sad. Well, I come up with this, when someone is touched by divinity with that kind of gift and tragedy intervenes like that it's just naturally fascinating, full of pathos and sadness.

Whitney is laid to rest...

Damn shame.

comes with the territory as the celebrity she was. What would be private for most of us is a circus for them. In our daily lives we only have a certain number of people conjecturing, debatin, gossiping about our character and our life, with celebs, it's open to the world. A fact which I firmly believe contributes to their problems, that cannot be easy for anyone and has broken more talent down to nothing than I care to think of. I'm not too clear on why Aretha didn't go but I'm nowhere near close enough to make any judgements on whether she should have or could have. Older people get to the point where they are just tired man, i'm getting there so I know, tired of people to the point where you don't really care what they think. Aretha spoke one on one friday and spoke clearly and eloquently about the meaning of this person's life, that really is more enough for me as a casual fan and an American Musician.

I wonder was Whitney's close friend Cherrelle there. Why haven't she given a statement?

Bobby showed up with a party of nine people (instead of the requested three). Seriously, dude?

Bobby Brown's Night Out After Whitney's Funeral: Performing & Gambling

Feb 20, 2012

Saturday was an exceptionally long day for Bobby Brown.

The singer appeared at his ex-wife Whitney Houston's funeral for a short time early in the day. Later, he took a private jet from New Jersey to Connecticut to perform at the Mohegan Sun casino's arena with his longtime, on-and-off band New Edition, according to a rep for the casino.

The show – which lasted more than an hour and included hits such as "Candy Girl," "Mr. Telephone Man," "Tenderoni" and "My Prerogative" – featured some emotional moments for Brown.

"I wanna give blessings to my ex-wife Whitney Houston. I love you," Brown said, pointing toward the sky. "I want to give blessings to my kids, my brothers and all of you. Thank you for the love."

"He was upset today," one of Brown's band mates told the crowd, adding that the rest of group told him, "hit 'em with your voice, man."

After the show, Brown, some band mates, and a group of family and friends hit Bobby Flay's restaurant Bar Americain. Wearing a gray vest and a Red Sox baseball cap, Brown looked relaxed and low key as he posed for photos with fans. A source tells PEOPLE he drank Grey Goose on the rocks. At one point, he did a little dance for the table.

Brown hugged friends and family throughout the evening, as the crowd of about 15-20 people hung at the upscale bar and restaurant along with him.

Around 12:15 a.m, he and much of his entourage left the restaurant and headed for the high rollers gambling area of the casino, where Brown settled into a $500 minimum bet blackjack table.

"He wasn't really partying, but he was having a good time with his old crew from Boston," says an onlooker. "He had a lot of support and bodyguards stuck close to him to keep fans from being too intrusive."

But Brown and friends gambled for only a short time. Says an eyewitness: "In the end, it looked like his heart wasn't in it. No one gambles for 20 minutes. It was like token gambling just because they were there at the casino."

They soon moved on as an entourage across the casino floor, where Brown posed for more fan photos. He was holding his fiancée, Alicia Ethridge's hand much of the time. Around 1 a.m., they arrived at seafood joint and raw bar Summer Shack and hunkered down at a secluded back table. There, Brown seemed to really crash, putting his head down wearily at times.

After a quiet snack, smokes and drinks, a source tells PEOPLE, they all filed out at 2 a.m. and back to their hotel rooms.

I'd recommend getting her dvd version of the Greatest Hits. It's one of the very first dvds I ever bought and probably my most played. Lots of nice extras on it as well. Check out the tracklist below.

Whitney's estate (wow!) will receive royalties from sales but not from airplay.

Writers and producers who worked with her will have a great year. They get paid on sales and airplay.

Around 1 a.m., they arrived at seafood joint and raw bar Summer Shack and hunkered down at a secluded back table. There, Brown seemed to really crash, putting his head down wearily at times.

After a quiet snack, smokes and drinks, a source tells PEOPLE, they all filed out at 2 a.m. and back to their hotel rooms.

So I guess the media is going to be following him around now to judge whether or not he's mourning?

Yeah but not question Ray J or Aretha. Double standard at its finest.
