Well if this ends up being anything like MJ is time for the corporate whores to step up and milk her catalogue and legacy for everything its worth. Greatest hits, DVDs, unreleased songs, unaired footage, Cirque du freekin soleil shows, and even Wii games. Yep, Whitney's estate will make more money this month than she has in the last 10 years.
Heard of her. To put it quite bluntly; IDGAF. Didn't love or hate her, but really couldn't care less whether she's dead or not. Doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever. Condolences to her family, but its really a lot of a 'Big Whoop' sort of thing. Its like someone came up to me and told me his friend across in Canberra that I'd never even met had died. Sad for you, but I don't know why it should worry me.

She meant nothing to me, if anything I have a weird hatred for her thanks to the songs she sang (I won't say songs so much as 6 minutes of her shouting over some crap about love and loss).
I didn't even know about her downward spiral, really besides the odd TV commercial and the random playlist of some weird shop I was happy ignoring her. I didn't know she had an issue with drugs, but now that I do I know all to well the danger they pose.
Hopefully after awhile the media will find a new shiny object and I can go back to ignoring her existence.

All I know about her is that song that's going to be overplayed in the coming weeks (that she apparently didn't write) and that she got punched by Bobby Brown.
But you know, tragedy and all that.

Its sad that she has died at such a young age, 48 is no age to go.
However, I never forgave her for "And I Will Always Love You" which stayed at Number 1 in the charts for something like 16 weeks and drove me nuts because it wouldn't ever go away. Because of that I can't feel too sad about her passing.

Oh Fuck!!! That song is going to be everywhere. Well, thats me not listening to any radio for the next week.SweetLiquidSnake said:
I've never heard of her (not a fan of solo female singers/artists, so don't expect me to have any knowledge of who they are) but RIP all the same. Musicians are dropping like flies just recently.
eh i remember her being in the charts most weeks for ages when i was growing up but that was about the last i heard of her till the bbc informed me she passed away today . sad that she went so young but oh well.. rest in peace.
but for the love of all things holy(my sanity) please dont take over every 2nd song on the radio for a month like michael jackson did...

It's not like we couldn't see it coming though; Her carreer was in the toilet, unlike all the substances she was abusing.
It's sad, I guess, but it was pretty much inevitable.
Oddly enough, I was watching a Top of the Pops type run down of country singers with my sister yesterday (nothing else was on), when Dolly Parton came on and we started talking about how we always prefered her version of I Will Always Love You over Houston's.

I only knew her by name, but it always shocks me when someone younger than my parents dies. I don't know, it just makes me very nervous.
To those of you saying "I don't care.", well good for you. Now STFU.
Seriously, if you don't care why are you even posting here. Just so you can make a show of your "not caring" to buff up your "hipster" cred? Oh you are such a rebel ... /rolleyes
While I'm not exactly a fan of hers, her songs defined the years of my youth and she really was a damn good singer. Yet another one bites the dust and probably not in a "fortunate" way. Damn.

I admit that I competely forgotten her since it took me a while which film that song of her was from. Shame she had passed away as she was only 48 so she still had plenty of life left in her (well from the news her health sort of decline but still).
Oh my god! Whitney Houston is dead? How is it that I don't care one bit?
Known from the movie Bodyguard and she's had a lot of successful songs and she's received a lot of rewards. In recent years she's basically been nothing more than a target for jokes about her drug use. In other words she's kinda like Micheal Jackson. Became famous and had a successful career, dropped in popularity and became suspects of criminal activity, became the target of jokes and after her death people will pretend to be very sad just like when Micheal Jackson died. If you don't know who she is you didn't really miss out on anything.Bealzibob said:
I had never heard her name before today, when fucking EVERYONE started talking about her.
And no, just because I didn't know who Whitney Houston is (I vaguely knew that song of hers) doesn't mean I live in a bubble. Sometimes people aren't as popular in different places.

So true. This always happens. Every goddamn time some popular famous person dies. And the whole in your face media circus is enough to drive a man crazy.TheNaut131 said:Though, in the upcoming weeks, I will hate her. Because of this:
