Triquos Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Today the world sheds a tear for the American singer, actress, producer and model, Whitney Houston, who died today at the age of 48 due to unknown causes. Whitney was world renowned for her amazing vocals and acting in 'The Bodyguard' with Kevin Costner, as shown in the videos below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JWTaaS7LdU&ob=av2nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRMbcQ3Kg3g Words cannot describe how amazing she was, so I will just say this... The world has lost another great legend. May you rest in peace Whitney <3 August 9, 1963 - Februrary 11, 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 "the uploader has not made this video available in your country" I live in the united states, what is this Anyways, i heard of the news 10 minutes after the associated press posted it when i was at work Stats[hide][/hide]Click for my adventurer's log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triquos Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm sorry if it's not available to you :-/ I have put another video in, let me know if that works ^_^ I chose the video from Whitney Houston's Vevo channel of her in 'The Bodyguard' movie. I cannot tell which videos are available to everyone, so if someone knows a video of Whitney singing 'I will always love you' in 'The Bodyguard' movie which has available viewing to everyone, please post it here and I will edit the first post :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4ylan Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 She was good in her prime, but I don't see why people are making such a huge deal over her death. She hasn't been relevant in over ten years. Maybe I'm just too young? ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serpent Eye Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 She was good in her prime, but I don't see why people are making such a huge deal over her death. She hasn't been relevant in over ten years. :wall: Whitney Houston didn't have a "prime." She had a "being Whitney Houston." So sad she's gone. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Apparently her death from overdose is a rumor. This means I don't know if anything of it is true or not. Probably is not true that she is still living seeing as I only found 1 source saying so, so she probably died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triquos Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 It is all over the news (including here in New Zealand) as well as the official world wide 'wikipedia' website, so she has definitely passed away. Also, @Nomrombom & RpgGamer, could we please keep the crack/drug jokes away from here? I already had to get a forum mod to lock my tribute thread to her on the runescape forums due to people making jokes and small digs like that. Thanks.

MuffinMaddy Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Really sad news to hear, weird how I never find out these things by watching the News.I find out these deaths from Tipit or being on Runescape. But really sad, not completely unexpected though. RIP Whitney Houston. :/ Click this link for my blog that summarises my achievements on Runescape over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically I too find out about these things on RS or Tip.it before the whole world knows. I found out about Whitney's death today via a Runescape player. It was only 2 hours later that it was on the main news channel over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just comes as a massive shock to me for some reason, when it's inevitable anyway.I don't know why I get so surprised when I hear this sort of 'news'. It's like these stars have their 'prime' time, and then you hear a little bit about their 'struggles' and such, and then they fade into the background.You know about them but you don't really follow their lives, and then they die and all of a sudden they were 'so loved' and they suddenly get like number 1 hits and things.It's just a mystery to me sometimes, I'm included in the population that suddenly starts listening to all of their music tracks and things. Really sad stuff. I wasn't a huge fan but it still hits me.

obfuscator Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 RIP. It wouldn't surprise me if it was drug related though; it's pretty well known she had problems with a variety of drugs.

Danqazmlp Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My parents went to see her in concert last year and said she was terrible. They are fans of hers, but said she physically just couldn't sing any more and there were lots of people boo'ing. I've also heard she's been boo'd of stage in a few concerts recently too. Really not surprising to hear, as she has probably done a lot of the damage herself. Want to be my friend?

Kimberly Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 She never got her voice back after her battles with addiction, but she kept trying and she had my respect for that alone. It's sad to see her pass away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's high-time we properly explored this inexplicable relationship between fame, wealth, and drugs. Until then, we'll carry on losing the incredible talent these two women undeniably had. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash is king and it opens doors to places the common man can't access. Coupled with being celebrity, and you sadly have a get-out-of-jail-free card for most offenses.

Im the most irresponsible person in the world. The reason Im like that is because, at 21, you all gave me $50 or $100 million, and I didnt know what to do. Im from the ghetto. I dont know how to act. One day Im in a dope house robbing somebody. The next thing I know, Youre the heavyweight champion of the world. Who am I? What am I? I dont even know who I am. Im just a dumb child. Im being abused. Im being robbed by lawyers. I think I have more money than I do. Im just a dumb pugnacious fool. Im just a fool who thinks Im someone. And you tell me I should be responsible? ~Mike Tyson "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low C Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Not really surprised, it's sad to see such talented individuals pass so early in life. I assume if she drowned she passed out from a massive amount of downers? I'd say tomorrow it will be ruled drug related death because of her past history.

Riku3220 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Looks like the cause of death was a mixture of alcohol and (prescription) drugs. http://www.tmz.com/ Linking to that site made me feel dirty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
