Singer, actress and most awarded female act of all time Whitney Houston died Saturday (February 11) at the age of 48, publicist Kristen Foster revealed to the Associated Press. Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. PST at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and her cause of death is under investigation.
This disturbing news comes just hours before mentor Clive Davis’s annual pre-Grammy party, in which Houston was much involved. Just yesterday, the star was mentioned as a possible judge on X Factor. Earlier this week, Whitney took the stage at Tru Hollywood for Kelly Price’s “Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged: For the Love of R&B GRAMMY Party”.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Whitney’s family and friends, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated with new information as it becomes available.
Prayers to the family! RIP
I DON’T BELIEVE THIS. NOT WHITNEY. JUST NO!!!!!
Too shocked and confused by this news
RIP Whitney Houston :’(
I can’t believe this. I will pray for her and her family. Love you Whitney!!!
I thought somebody hacked a site when i saw it a couple of minutes ago, CRAZY, I don’t even think it registered yet.
CRAAZZYYY!!!! TRUE LEGEND THOSE RECENT PICS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SIGN.
So sad. RIP Ms. Houston.
I will miss her a lot it so sad that it happen to her
This is unreal..and a great loss for the music industry
RIP Whitney. The Voice! My God wrap Bobby Kristina in His arms and comfort her and keep her strong.
Amen!
RIP Whitney. I was really rooting for you. God be with Bobbi Kris!
Damn!! Just heard… That’s so messed up… May she rest in peace.
This is so very sad to hear. I was just looking at a picture of Whitney Houston in Essence magazine that is out now. I was commenting on how gorgeous she looks and now this. My God only you, Heavenly Father, knows what is stirring within all of us. I pray for her loved ones.
I miss her so much she will alway be my fav singer of all time:(
OMG THIS IS A SHOCK…. RIP Whitney you will be greatly missed
I can’t believe she’s gone. She was just pictured out with Ray J, damn. Was it an overdose? Suicidal? Damn, damn, damn…smh
This is so incredibly sad and surreal. Whitney Houston was my childhood idol and the entire reason why I even began singing and inspired me to discover I have a singing voice. I’m hopeful because Whitney knew the Lord and so now she’s in a better place; but still, hearing this made me cry like I lost a family member. RIP to Whitney Elizabeth Houston and may God comfort her family during their time of bereavement. So sad
Amen
Like I stated before when Don Cornelius “died”, expect alot more bl00d s@crifices of formally “famous” people (especially black celebrities) this year. These people’s lives are not their own. They took a bl00d oath to the Baph0met to get signed and when they are no longer creating revenue and making money for the “industry”, their lives are forfeit and they become prime candidates to be sacrifici@l lambs. It is what it is.
@JUdAh the whole world is brainwashed and you’re the only sane one -_______-
Please See A Therapist
The reason why you and others can’t help but to respond to what I say is because it is the truth. It doesn’t matter how many of my comments get “moderated”, “censored”, or “deleted” by the creator (who is allegedly against SOPA and PIPA). The truth is the truth regardless. If I truly am “crazy”, you’re a fool to acknowledge me lol.
In order for you to have such information, you’re either 1. The Devils child, or 2. You took such an oath. Listen Satan don’t own nothing, Yeshua’s Blood trumps all. Don Cornelius died for whatever reason he died, and Whitney died because she had a serious drug problem. She had the problem before she signed her deal.
Everyone who’s famous didn’t sell their soul to the Devil.
Whatever. Only God knows when it’s our time. She abused drugs for years. That alone takes it’s toll on your body. Celebrities abuse much more because they have excess money to do so. It’s sad because people have tried to help and it seems like she never got the help she needed(rehab/inpt). If it took her voice away, she was doing drugs heavy. Other than that, a few months ago she looked great. So she was trying. It just wrecks my brain why she couldn’t shake it off or want to get help. Just sad.
I dont think Whitney ever took the oath, and that’s why she was tormented by the media year after year. I believe she was set up and the recent pics of her were. Set up to pre-condition us frthis tragedy. All the artists in the industry use drugs–how else could yo travel around the world, to dfferen times zones and such, and not use some form of drug. Whitney ddnt give in to the indstry and that’s why she”s been portrayed the way she has for all theses years. May her soul ascend to the cosmos to the Promised Land. Blessins to her daughter, Bobbi Kris
Judah is speaking the truth. If you guys just took the time to educate YOURSELVES then you would understand. I commend him on trying sooo hard to wake up and educate the black community. Before you guys go in on Judah do some research on what is being said. It won’t hurt to actually use your own brain instead of the media’s brainwashing info. The world is not what you think it is. DO YOUR RESEARCH!!
So sad. So damn sad.
This has stunted me tonight so badly. I was just about to go to my sister’s birthday party and just can’t pull it together. Since Michael Jackson’s passing, we have seen a trend in black legends dying. So sad. I don’t want no drugs no mo! I did them years ago but Mr. Ectasy, stay out of my life!!!! So sad, again, \to see Whitney go so soon. Oh, and her mother and daughter…my prayers have gone up for them.
My condolences goes out to her family. This is really sad. RIP Whitney.
RIP Whitney, my prayers goes out to the Houston and Brown Family.
I am sadden by this….I don’t care if she was struggling from drug abuse, I will miss her! I am so glad, I never looked at her any different when she was in the land of the living and struggling with her demons, we all have some kind of demons we are trying to conqueror. She left us with beautiful music and now all we have is untalented, no singing, folks like RiRi, Nick Minaji, Britney Spears, etc. WOooooow I can’t get over this, its worst than the death of Michael Jackson
DO Not Forget BEYONCE CAN’T SING ASS .
I broke down when I heard this. Whitney Houston was and will always be the best voice that I have ever heard in my life! There will never be another voice that golden. She was amazing and I will miss her dearly. I am so hurt. Why are all our people dying. It just doesn’t sit right with me. Black history month is off to a horrible start.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s the end of an error.
First the oprah show went off the air now WHITNEY. What else do we have left !! 
…..
I cant believe this…It’s not processing as yet. I am immensely sorry for her daughter and mother and those who knew whitney and loved her.
This is horrible. Not the best Black History Month. RIP To one of The Greatest of All Time, Whitney Houston.
Know she will be forever apart of the other Greats who have changed black history forever
You are so right along with the release of a rap song referring to us as n words. We wont hsve a blk history month soon. If we wont take ourselves serious demand respect, nobody else will. Rip Whitney, now that was The Voice.
Very, very, very, very sad day. No one and I mean NO ONE sings like Whitney Houston. You Beyonce people go straight to hell. Don’t you start no shit on here and don’t you EVER compare her to the late, great, unmatched Whitney Houston.
Thats right there is no one that can touch whitney.
STFU YOU IDIOT. You fools irk me so much. How does Beyonce relate to this??
NOT A SINGLE PERSON HAS COMMENTED ABOUT HER SO WTF ARE YOU SAYING?? The haters are worse than the stans.
RIP WHITNEY XXXXX
Amen sister! I grew up so religious and one of the first secular songs I heard wss Greatest Love of All. She became my favorite singer after thst. She wasnt just stuck in a couple genres. She could hang with the best gospel singers, my favorite gospel song by her was, I love The Lord. She didnt have to show her body and I never remember her oversinging. She had an exveptional range with control.
This has saddened me deeply. Such pure talent, hate to see it all go.
@Sarah your comment is lame as hell, why can’t you folks let this beyonce lady breathe? no one’s mentioned her or compared her to whitney so why the bitterness? pay your respects and move the hell on
You’re so disrespectful. Who said anything about Bey?
we’ll always luv u Whitney
FIRST DON CORNELIUS AND NOW WHITNEY, BOTH IN BLACK HISTORY MONTH. I THINK JUDAH IS CORRECT. SO SAD.
Judah, shut up
First it was Etta James, then Don Cornelius, now Whitney Houston. Damn the music industry.
I just can’t get over it, she was looking so good & just there with Brandy & Monica! LORD HAVE MERCY! prayers for the family_LOVE U WHITNEY!
Also, let me also say that the elite like to sacrifice black “celebrities” during so-called “Black History Month” to mock black people. DMX better watch himself…..
Judah not right now…usually I smile when u post because u piss so many people off it’s funny, but this time we are very sadden by this…so please just send ur condolences.
They better not touch DMX!!! Or else…
@CHEERS
Or else what lol? You ain’t gonna do a damn thing other than put ammonia in their food lol.
Judah why don’t you do this site a favor and put amonia in your food, I would think your crazy would subside for a moment but you keep comming on here spewing venom, you are not a man of god, I don’t appraciate you claiming that because anybody of god, knows the enemy when they see him. You have so much hate in you, that’s not god.
Ammonia? Now why would I do that? I got something better…
Ive been reading up on some things Judah. I wish more people would wake up.
I wish you would stop posting under differen’t names agreeing with yourself like nobody know’s it’s you. that’s what I wish
@YAHAWASHI I idolize no one but God and my parents. FOOL…and btw how do u know she sold her soul? Did the same devil u worship tell u this? I bet there won’t be a post when your “nothing ass” dies.
Judah you are not fooling anybody, it’s always the ones who bark the loudest who have the most to hide, you more then likley former sodomite. And it’s usually the ones who hide behind religion. If I want to get some std medicne I’m certain I could get some from you, that’s probably why you’re so mad at gays now.
@keep she sold her soul the same way you sold yours. Lol
OMG…Poor kristina…GOD Bless the family and keep them strong, at this said time…Amen
Dang! I miss her already.
Lol black women are bugged out ass hell
I AM CRYING RIGHT NOW …….RIP TO ( THE VOICE )…. MY HEART IS WITH HER FAMILY’S .
I dont even know where to start… Whitney Houston??… I cant belive this… what a huge loss! R.I.P my heart goes out to her Daughter. Jesus be with her!!!
RIP angelic Whitney! You and your anointed voice will be missed! Daddy wanted you to return home. You’re singing in His choir now girl! Sing! Sing! Sing!
( THE VOICE )HAS DIED RIP , WOW A QUEEN OF R&B HAS DIED.
Rest Beatiful Whitney.
I am sick to my stomach about this. It is so unreal. Whitney gone? Oh my.. I can’t….. God have his daughter.
Rest In Peace Whitney. You will be truly missed……
@JUDAH Shut the f*ck up!!!! Point blank period for once can you at have some f*cking respect for any human being you F*cked up BASTARD!!!! #Done
First off Let me remind you I’m an African American far from a negro so watch your tone when you talk to me boy because if I ever saw you in person you wouldnt be talkin so tough get it together for you get that ass whooped
Michael Jackson, Etta James, and her are a part of the heavenly chorus in heaven R.I.P Whitney we will alway love you
RIP the queen you will be truely missed
Oh my God. I’m in shock.
I can’t stop crying. This is Whitney Houston we are talking about. They are killing our people off! My heart hearts!
This is such sad news. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and I just keep thinking she died on Brandys Birthday and that’s her idol. Whitney your soul can now rest without all the bad things people had to constantly say. Add your beautiful voice to the choir in heaven and be a guardian angel for your loved ones.
That’s interesting that she “died” on Brandy’s birthday. Allegedly she was “linked” to Ray J, and supposedly his bodyguard “found” her body. This reminds me of how Heath Ledger was “found” by the Olsen twins’ bodyguard. I also notice that pictures of her were suddenly popping up leading up to today, the same way that there was a post of Teiarra Mari dressed up as Michael Jackson in a photoshoot, and Kany West had mentioned him in his verse to “Knock You Down” leading up to his death. These s@crifices are meticulously orchestrated.
@Judah
You must have no time on your hands AT ALL. to take the time to link all that bull together, ure such a freakin loser. Please go find something to do w/ ure damn life other than TYRING to spread ure pshyco believes b/c no one is following you-so i think its pretty clear to tell you to GIVE UP. Thanks.
@JUDAH i was thinking the same thing, with the Ray J thing.. Hmmm i guess the actual truth will never be told like many other deaths of famous people..
The mind is a powerful tool, the more you educate it the powerful it gets. HOWEVER do NOT believe everything you READ and dont believe everything you HEAR..
But @JUDAH u do have a point..
Judah I cannot wait until you are sacrificed.
This is so sad! Whitney, just like Michael Jackson opened so many doors for black artists in the music industry. She could sing just about anything – she could probably make singing out a shopping list sound amazing. And she was so beautiful too. I can’t even begin to think how Bobbi Christina feels now. There’s definitely gotta be a big tribute at the Grammy’s.
RIP Whitney Houston, one of our true pioneers.
R.I.P.she will be missed,it was them drugs man,watch now everybody is gonna blame bobby brown
Damn right he take some blame!! ultimately people are responsible for their own actions but he brought her down that road now he’s doing good but at the expense of this woman’s career and now life!! Can anyone even imagine how broken and sad she must have been it hurts my heart just thinking about her but I hope she left knowing she was loved by her family and the world her music will live on!!
@Tiffy – don’t go there! Whitney was born and raised in Newark and knew drugs well before Bobby; however she indulged more when they hooked up. Two people with addictions should never get toghether.
*together*
@TIFFY..I don’t agree,yes he did do drugs with his ex wife,but she was experimenting with drugs before she met bobby,they been divorced for 6 years,so even if you wanted to,you can’t blame him on what she did after the divorce,bobby got clean,moved on,got married had a son,and now he’s touring with new edition,there’s no excuse to why whitney shouldn’t have got it together,but she’s talented,and she will be missed by millions.
Fresh87 said it better than I did you can not blame bobby for his ex wife still being addicted to drugs and he quit…. See we all thought that he was her downfall it probably was the other way around…. What was he to do stay married to her until she quit using? He would’ve missed his blessing in finding his new wife…. And Whitney and him were better off as friends anyway… They all hung out a week ago
That’s a damn shame, that young girl without any parental figures.
Can’t stop crying!!You will be forever missed Whitney!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
Wait 48? She was born in 1963,shouldn’t she have been turning 50 this year
No 48 is right, It’s 2012, not 2013 – she would’ve turned 49 this year.
No Fresh87 she would turn 49 this year. If I stand correct you were the same one posting on the BBW and said you don’t y Shaunie keeps her last name…u just proved a point..hahahaha
@KEEPINITREALLADIES..Proved what point? what i said on here has nothing to do with what i said about shaunie,and what i said was right,she shouldn’t keep shaq last name,but that’s another topic
Sorry Fresh87 but my point was that u sounded foolish when u made the BBW post and ur math isn’t any better.
We are losing all of our legends too soon, no musical artist alive today can touch what this woman has accomplished musically, may she R.I.P.
RIP Whitney, you were a beautiful soul.
My first thought was Bobbi Kristina. I thought my sister was lying when she told me she saw someone tweet that Whitney had died so I quickly tuned into CNN. I was shocked, I guess because I saw some pictures of her online a few days ago leaving a club. Sad ..
I’m shocked right now, we just lost Don Cornelious last week. Rest In Peace Whitney Houston and sing in the heavenly chior, with Michael Jackson , Gerald Levert, Etta James, Nick Ashford, HeavyD, Biggie Smalls, Tupac, Left Eye, Aaliyah and so on. I can’t believe that she passed away on Brandy’s Birthday. Your legacy lives on forever.
Only a select amount of ppl come into the world and make an impact that opens doors for others.
The first to do so many things as a female artist, a black artist, a multi-talented artist, a humanitarian and an artist who was hand-picked by God to carry a voice of a generation – Whitney Houston will be missed. In my book she has a chapter that honours her.
Wow! My heart is soooo heavy right now. I’ve never met Whitney, but I feel like I just lost a family member. Growing up as black child in 80′s, Whitney gave me hope. I looked at a beautiful black woman with such remarkable talents. Dang, we will always love you Whitney! I pray for her family. People can say whatever they want to say about her, but Whitney knew the Lord. So, I know she’s in heaven singing right now. R.I.P. Ms.Houston. You had the greatest voice ever. I can’t stop the tears from fallen. Damn!
Her poor daughter. She will grieve the worse out of everyone. These stars have a death wish and they dont know it. These addictions are demonic overtaking. Sad.
Very good Carmelapple u sound less racist.
I love Whitney. Such a beautiful spirit. She’s free now. She’s home. Rest in peace Ms. Houston. May the love of God and the grace of the Holy Spirit be with the Houston family during this difficult time.
I still believe she gone. RIP
I mean, still can’t believe she gone. RIP
Much luv 2 BobbiKristina
