CNN has reported over the last few days several times that Whitney had sold over 170 albums Worldwide in her lifetime.

But yahoo reported:

"Although she sold 22.6 million albums in the U.S. in her lifetime — half of those through the best-selling 1992 soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" — her latest release, "I Look To You," sold just 978,000 since its debut in 2009, according to Nielsen SoundScan."

http://news.yahoo.com/whi...10535.html

So does this mean (170-22.6= 147.4) she sold 147.4 million outside the U.S. or is somebodys figures off???

Thank you.

Diabolic

I always thought Bobbi Kristina was the spitting image of Bobby Brown but in this childhood pic of Whitney, Bobbi kind of favors her.

Bobby Brown Distraught After Hearing He's Unwanted at Funeral

That's horrible on the part of the family to do that.

Yeah blame Bobby for everything when ultimately- Whitney was the one who made the choices in life to be who she wanted to be.

BOBBY BROWN

Fighting Whitney's FamilyTo See Bobbi Kristina

Bobby Brown still hasn't seen his daughter -- THREE days after Whitney Houston's death -- and he thinks Whitney's family ... specifically, Cissy Houston, is throwing up the road block.

Sources close to Bobby tell us he hasn't connected with Bobbi Kristina since arriving in L.A. Sunday night -- despite placing several phone calls and making an attempt to physically see her ... early this morning.

We're told Brown was turned away by Whitney's family and friends ... who are caring for BK at a home in the Los Angeles area.

According to our sources, Bobby is angry and frustrated because he only came to L.A.to care for 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina after she was hospitalized twice.

As for why he's blaming Whitney's mom for the freeze out -- we're told Brown thinks Cissy has hated him for years.

In-laws.

Well isn't this fun.

BK is growing into a pretty young lady. She definitely looks better now than she ever has.

Like the ugly duckling.

And that's wrong of Cissy to do if this is true.

Jennifer Holliday and Chaka Khan are fuckin' up the "Make Bobby Brown play the scapegoat role" plan, but will ANYBODY listen?

I hope Simon Cowell's bitch ass do.

I find it funny that pretty much everybody in her circle knew She was a drug user by her damn self. Why isn't it common knowledge. Even though I think Bobby is a jealous POS, he gets a bad rap for corrupting America's sweetheart. When that isn't the case at all. Whitney found somebody who was into hard drugs just like she was.

It's a wonder her daughter isn't a crack baby with defects.

And also Whitney's family was around that lifestyle themselves. Michael and Gary Houston are known drug users. It's rumored both Dionne and Cissy may have dealt with drug issues in the past, especially Dionne from hearing about her weed bust (about four years, I think, after Whitney's weed bust) but people just loved playing the blame game.

Yes they do. Both her brothers were busted for posession charges. I forgot about Dionne being busted for week some years back.

^ If it's true that her funeral will be at New Hope Baptist Church, then that's way better than at some musical stadium. People already thinking her family will take the Jackson family route when Michael died.

PLUS, Whitney was extremely close to her brothers so why would anyone think someone who was around two men who were known to get high would have easily avoided it? Whitney had prided herself on being a strong-willed woman but when it came to drugs, let's just say temptation is sometimes stronger than will. In some ways Whitney's struggles remind me of Marvin's. Like Marvin, Whitney would be reading the Bible and praising the Lord and all of that in one hand and then doing drugs in the other.

Its always the family that shapes up how people will turn out in the long run. Of course certain exceptions may exist, but for the most part it is true.

The fact that her brothers did drugs too- didn't help her situation either.

I havent been on in awhile and especially trying to avoid this thread. However, I am curious to know if any of the posters who gave Whitney a hard time have commented on her passing, especially you know who?

Access Hollywood link: http://www.accesshollywoo...rd_feature

Allison Samuels reveals to Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson that Whitney was behaving erratically on the days leading up to her death, that Bobbi Kristina was "protecting" her mother, and that she struggled with the end of her marriage with Bobby Brown and that Bobby actually called Arista Records to get Whitney to do reality show.

----

Allison said the hotel manager said Whitney had done skips around the hotel, was doing handstands at the pool and talking to herself and that Bobbi basically had to bring her back. Kinda explains her behavior when she left the club on February 9th.

I'm guessing her fate was sealed either way.

She might have inherited a predisposition to abuse drugs and alcohol. Bobby does get a bad rap, but look at his extensive arrest record and self-destructive tendencies. I think the daughter would be better suited to live with a relative for now.

When Whitney and Bobby were self-destructing themselves, Krissy could've at least been raised by her grandmother. I never got why Cissy just didn't raise HER or at least Dionne unless Whitney didn't trust her mother or her cousin to look after them.

There was a twit pic of her snorting coke. And some news source said she's been warned for underage drinking. Most likely she's a wild child.

It reminds me of Robyn's article when her mother told Nippy "You look like an angel, but you're not an angel". I think folks got swept up by the squeaky clean middle class prince who got lured by the bad boy(Bobby) and got ruined. So yeah, I could understand why folks fell into this assumption.

I certainly didn't know about her drug history until a few years ago.

Identity said:

Prince never spoke about the deaths of his own parents, which I found rather strange. That said, I don't expect him to comment on Whitney's tragic passing.

Very true! Sadly the JW's won't allow it...
