I find it amusing that her next album is called "Just Whitney". I mean it doesn't take THAT many brain cells to think of an album title. We have Whitney Houston, WHitney and now Just Whitney confused ...Well that's a crackhead for ya.

im just saying that there is such a negative stigma towards people failing in their recovery attempts that it adds to the pressures and in some cases makes it harder on the person.....


The only reason it's so public and all and it appears to be the big craze is partly due to the war on drugs....

I would imagine that some of these folks are really fucked up and are not allowed to work until they get out of rehab.

There are also AP press that hound these rehab clinics and stake em out.

A girl I used to go out with was obsessed with starting arguements about how Bobby ruined Whitney's career. Bobby was doing drugs in the 80's. Whitney knew what she was getting herself in for. As corny as it sounds but they really must love each other.


Don't let nobody bullshit you, Whitney was using before she met Booby!

Whitney is not a ho.



Thank you.

Whitney has an addiction, and for those of you fortunate not to have one, to assume she's doing drugs for shits and giggles and call her out her name is wrong. I think (hope and pray) she will make it out of this, but she gotta let Bobby go first. Much love Whitney. hug


nod Agreed. Its really tragic that her relations with Bobby helped contribute to her downfall. We can only hope and pray that she gets out of rehab b/c she had a hell of a voice.

Too bad she wasn't on drugs when she first came out. Drugs might have given her some rhythm. lol


Her last album, while OK, proved that wasn't the case.

Bobby had alot more in him then what was shown. I know u can say that about anyone but his career was cut short thanx to drugs and ego. Whitney's career is odd. Those Power ballads got stale by around 1994/1995. People didn't want that shit anymore, which is why Mariah stopped doing them, boyz to men got smaller and Michael Bolton vanished. Celine survived but she is white. Whitney went all hood and became just like anyone else as she doesn't have songwriting input either. Her downfull was inevitabe with or without Bobby


How do you know that Bobby had so much in him - is that because you like him?

Whitney's best album was My Love Is Your Love, and it did well, spinning off about 4 major hits. Note that it was not a power ballad record. She could easily have continued down that path but instead turned into a full-time drug fiend. She does nothing else these days - doesn't sing, doesn't act, doesn't do anything. Her voice is shot.

So, yes, she would have had a longer career if she weren't with him (assuming that also means she wouldn't be a druggie).


Thanks for pointing that out. Whitney found a new groove with "My Love", even though it intially didn't do just based on the Mariah duet, a power ballad. However, it did something sort of revolutionary with the singles after that...the hits came from drastic remixes (altough it would be fair to say "Heartbreak Hotel" did well in the origial form but the remix helped)! If she would have done a full on dance album to follow it up a few years later, with a few ballads and/or midtempo R&B tracks, it would have been fucking gangbusters! But what happened...Bobbay and his sad influence over a somewhat decent R&B album, "Just Whitney".

Remember, Bobby had the bigger career when they met. Bobby was one of the biggests acts on the planet (or at least America) and Whitneys "baby tonight" album pretty much bombed (for her) and Bobby was outselling her on tour etc.....Bobby boosted her career by the time "bodyguard" sold a zillion copies. Bobby helped get her black audience back. Her black audience booed her ass at soul train awards.in 1989. After "my love is your love" her career went down as Bobby was now completely out the public eye.

Plus she was doing coke before she met bobby anyway. Her former boyfriend before Bobby was Dayrll Strawberry, who was a bigger cokehead then he was.



What? Bobby did not have a bigger career than Whitney at any point...even now that she is on a major downturn, a miracle would be needed for him to outsell or be more popular than her. "I'm Your Baby Tonight" didn't do as well as her previous smashes, but it didn't do too shabby! I seriously don't think you know what you're talking about...

I ain't talking about sales, but just who was popular then. Bobby was more popular no doubt about it. It matters little now though.....both should of never met.

falloff I intentionally called Bobby "Booby" earlier today in the chatroom. I always call him that, he's a real piece of work. I wonder why the hell Whitney married that scumbag to begin with? Seems to me that she could have done so much better for herself. disbelief
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

I said "baby tonight" was a flop by her standards. Anyway overall Whitney was doing more coke then Bobby ever was and proberly introduced Bobby to more coke and yes Whitney did Bobby's career more harm then good!


nuts

Sorry, I've never heard about any drug abuse before she met Bobby. You got a source or was this just through the Glenn Medeiros grapevine?


U ain't gonna beleive this (this is crazy) but I knew a guy who's dad sold Whitney some crack once some years back (this info was proberly given to me around 1993 so I imagine dad sold it to her late 80's). I know it sounds stupid and varying on the insane, but hey, thats what i heard.

That's true about Bobby. I had the impression that Whitney grew up in a better atmosphere. I know she grew up singing in church and all, and that her family seemed to be religious. But they always say that opposites attract, which seems to be the case with Whitney and Bobby.

...I find it interesting that everyone is so quick to lay blame on Bobby for her problems...she knew what he was all about when she met him..she chose to live that lifestyle, thats if she wasn't already living it before...for all we know, she turned Bobby out...I'll never understand why this woman has been held in such high regard...in my opinion, she always presented herself as a "better than you" bitch...I don't think the term "crack ho" is too harsh for Whitney, I think it's appropriate....of course thats all because I can't stand the woman...
That being said, I hope she overcomes her problem and concentrates on being a mother...this has to be taking a toll on their daughter..
