Her rendition of the National Anthem before the Super Bowl in '91 is the best I've ever heard. I even bought it on iTunes a while back. Every time I hear it I get goosebumps. RIP Whitney.

Everyday a thousand Americans die early because of drug abuse. Yet the girl in Detroit who died of a drug overdose at age eighteen today and the fifteen year old crackhead who died in Alabama yesterday go unnoticed because we care mostly about those who provide us entertainment. This is wrong. In America the death of any American should be equal to that of any other American.

"Every day in Rome, Romans die suffering, yet it goes unnoticed by the people. Once a favored gladiator is fell on the floor of the Colosseum, they mourn as if they've lost a family member."
...and it'll go on like that for the rest of time. You act like it's an American problem.

After second thought, I say legalize drugs. Let drugs do to liberals what the law says we can't.
Some people are alive only because it's against the law to kill em.
I can't be a racist. I hate his white half too.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

All deaths are not equal to every person. My brother died of an overdose July 2008 from methadone. His wife's methadone that she was suppose to be taking for extreme pain. His overdose wasn't news because no one knew who he was except his family and friends. I remember the next day watching people go about their day as if nothing had happened. I wanted to scream..."Don't you know that MY BROTHER just died!?!". His death meant more than any famous person or quite frankly yours could ever mean to me. So you or Whitney Houston, as an American, do not affect me as much as my brothers death. It all depends on how much someone cared for the person.
Telling the world of his death wouldn't have helped a single person. People would say, "This is news how?" and go about their lives as if nothing happened. It is human nature to care more about your own than someone you don't know. Entertainers touch our lives, some more than others, some even for the worse. That is why this is national news and not the death of a crackhead in Georgia or quite frankly my brother.
With that being said, the media always overdoses on these types of stories. Michael Jackson's was the worst.

You probably missed my Tony Bennet post.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

For sure. I just change the radio station or TV channel. If that's all that's on, I turn everything off. I never liked her to begin with.

She worked very hard to be where she is today.
I loved this woman's voice and I don't think I have heard a more beautiful rendition of the nation's anthem. But I share your sentiment, it seems like she had to really work hard at destroying her life when the easiest thing would have been to simply express her God given talent.

+1 Schade. I for one, am sick of the "poor rich drug addict that hasn't done anything for 15 years" cry fest. As my wife said "her sales are going to go through the roof" Someone is making money.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Not only is Tony Bennet trying to advance a big lib agenda, at the expense of the dearly departed, but now the queen of huffpuff is jumping on the bandwagon
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matt-hadro/2012/02/13/arianna-huffington-drug-war-war-our-own-people One sidenote, would a rich, famous entertainer be a "Minority" ?
