Bluesape Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm sure drugs/alcohol will have played a role..... Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A McLeod III Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 R.I.P. Whitney. Prayers to her family as well. I am not trying to sound like a cynic but is anyone really shocked or surprised by this? So many people are speculating that it was drug related- I hope it wasn't but.......... it seems that so many creative and talented people meet their end at the hand of substance abuse. I simply pray that the foolishness (and it is asinine and totally foolish) to be destroyed by chemicals.

Bluesape Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 More saddened then surprised. Charlie Sheen's obit won't surprise me, nor Lindsay Lohan's, nor Keef's for that matter, but the sense of loss and waste will be no less palpable. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK!

Caevan O’Shite Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Very sad news. I always liked her voice quite a bit, even though I never had any of her albums or anything; I wasn't a fan per se, but I loved her voice- I thought she should have gone more into jazz... I really liked how she sang here, in a film that I wouldn't typically have seen: [video:youtube] Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipclone 1 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Always thought she had an amazing voice, and mediocre material. I think, with an old-fashioned team of crack writers she would have totally ruled, never figured out why that didn`t happen. What a loss.

picker Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 A quote from early John Kay seems appropriate here; "God D*** The Pusher!" even if she didn't OD, there's little doubt that her drug abuse contributed to her early demise.

SEHpicker Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 A candle in the wind.... I think Whitney left us a while back... she was amazing and personally I don't think there is anyone that compares to her vocal abilities when she was at the top of her game. So sad.

whitefang Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm with picker here. Even if you've been clean a while, the toll dope takes on your health goes on. Tragic, really. May she rest in peace now... Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyBlues Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Very sad, I'll go ahead and say it: she was fine until she hooked up with Bobby Brown right? I recall her a few years back at the Grammys, totally emaciated and obviously higher than a kite. What a waste. I was born at night but I wasn't born last night...

desertbluesman Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 What a voice when she was younger. Maybe the best singer on the planet at the time. RIP Whitney you surely could sing......... dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p90jr Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Great voice, beautiful and alluring, and there was just something about her people loved and couldn't get enough of... by the early 90s she was a superstar and just a huge deal. A bandmate showed me this... an early track by Bill Laswell's art funk band Material, with a young unknown Whitney doing vocals on a cover of a Soft Machine song (!!!): [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_rId-X64hg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkman Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Whitney had been killing herself slowly with drugs, and Saturday, she finally finished herself off. What a shame. I guess drugs meant more to her than life. I rock; therefore, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
