Gonna rant on Whitney

by **Clem** » February 12th, 2012, 12:03 pm

If there are any big Whitney Houston fans, feel free to just stop reading, because I'm going to go off on a bit of a rant here...

First, if anyone was surprised that she died, they are probably the same people who was suprised that Amy Winehouse died. The difference is that Amy was young and still moving up. I think the real surprise is that Whitney made it to age 48. If you look at pictures of her, I think you'll also be surprised that she was only 48.

Go ahead, use Google Images and do a search on "Whitney Houston", then do a search on "crack whore". There's like a 50% duplication rate.

So today on Twitter, all these celebrities who were likely referring to Whitney as "that washed up crack whore" a couple of days ago are now deifying her and mourning the incredible loss of talent that the world must now bravely soldier on without. Seriously, Adam Richman -- you're tweeting about the loss of Whitney Houston? Go eat a 8 pound burrito in 30 minutes.

She was such a train wreck, I am surprised she made it as long as she did.

Spot on Clem. I bet two day ago half the free world couldn't even name 2 of her songs.

she's made more money on itunes over the past 24hrs than she made the past decade.

ABC interrupted Be My Valentine Charlie Brown to report it which was ridiculous.

Maybe they thought it was "Be My Crack Buddy, Bobby Brown".

Yeah I agree that's a bit much for Whitney Houston. She was no Michael Jackson, didn't murder a spouse OJ style, and was no bin-Laden assasination. Kinda reminds me of the old Chevy Chase SNL line....."report just in General Ilisimo Fransisco Franco is still dead"

Hundreds of.innocents slaughtered in Syria but lets interrupt Charlie Brown for a coke head.

I love that the one song people always remember her by, isn't even hers

I always liked the Randy Watson & Sexual Chocolate version better

I cannot find the clip in english, which makes this even better, but this is my fave rendition

Still one of the best national anthems ever.

While I was working out at lunch, on of the TVs was tuned to MSNBC. The lead in to the story was "A Nation Comes to Grips with the Tragic Loss of Whitney Houston". Seriously? A nation?
