In my childhood, the icons for me were Michael, Whitney, Janet, Madonna and Prince. The last three are still breathing.

Thank God for that.

I just....I can't take it.

Yo.

Relax, dude. I'm serious. Place her life in perspective but don't over react. YOU are still

alive.

You know what?

I agree.

More shocking, but not sadder.

My childhood is dying and I didn't expect it so soon like this.

At least you're older and your childhood idols are dying...

I'm watching CNN and the reports are conflicting. They are saying she is indeed deceased, but the reports are so confusing. R.I.P Nippy.

Ducci just say they had to recant the story that Ray J. found her...

I wonder if she completed her part in the Sparkle remake.

Not sure of its accuracy, but it was reported on CNN that the shooting was completed.

I'm not overreacting...I'm not "sad"...I'm just...really, really shocked. Like, jaw dropped all the way to the floor.

Whoa there. MJ?

For me it is.

for me, it's as shocking but in different ways. with mj, i just had this feeling that something bad would happen to him b/c he was such a target for all the hate he had to endure. i had hoped when he left the u.s. in '05 that he would stay gone, i just had this feeling he would be taken in some way if he came back and sadly i was right.

but this?

i was just lying here with the tv on in the background, doing some research on the computer, debating whether to take a nap when they broke in on the cbs nightly news. not expecting this AT ALL. aside from the pics we saw from the other day, i thought she was making her way back. i am shaking.

watching cnn now. they're playing the vid from greatest love of all. i would not want to be in cissy houston's shoes right now for ANYTHING. god. i'm only ten minutes away from the bev hilton hotel.

Well, okay. It's just that when people are upset/distraught and say "I cant take it anymore"

you kinda get worried about them.

I still don't understsand the shock at her death now that I've calmed down.

CNN correspondent is reporting that Bobbi Kristina & Bobby Brown are both surrounded

by friends and family.

"If tomorrow is Judgment Day
And I'm standing on the front line
And the Lord asks me what I did with my life,
I will say I spent it with you."

‎"If I should day this very day
Don't cry, 'cause on earth we wasn't meant to stay
And no matter what the people say
I'll be waiting for you after the Judgment Day"

Sorry Whitney, I gotta cry about this one.

R.I.P.

I'm crying right now!! I just...I can't!! MJ and now Whitney???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bobby is about to go on stage in Memphis and is struggling. His Brother's (New Edition) are with him.

no one seems 2 know where she was or how

Yeah, very peculiar, isn't it, my brotha? And very sad. I'm hoping it wasn't drug overdose from anything, let alone from partying with Ray J's dumb ass!!

RIP, Whitney. Your trials and tribulations are finally over.

scriptgirl said:

Will the Grammys even have time to pull together a tribute to her? Isn't Clive's grammy party tonight?

Yes, I believe so.. I'm not sure if it will proceed.

Yal can say what yal want about Bobby but Bobby & Whitney loved each other. I know he's a mess right now.

Just SAD. Not to be preemptive of whatever Andy's thoughts will be on this one, but she was a beautiful singer. So sad.

To me, it's just...a legend just gone. It's shocking. Living life normally and boom: Whitney Houston dies.

duccichucka said:

Neither deaths are shocking; both (MJ and Houston) were drug addicts who surrounded

themselves with sycophants.

If anything, us adoring, stupid fans are partially responsible for their deaths. We

worship these people and I bet that somehow has a hand to play in how reckless these

"idols" live out their lives.

Now CNN correspondent who reported that Ray J found Houston dead is recanting

that allegation.

SHUT THE FUCK UP. whatever the circumstances of their deaths, they touched peoples lives, and you need to shut the fuck up with that disrespectful shit. people have a right to their grief. my father died b/c he struggled with drugs and fuck you if think i and my family didn't have a right to our grief you judgmental a-hole.
