1. Poor Whitney...

That song sounded horrible!

4. I do feel sorry for her. It seems that music is all she's got, but she needs to chill and

rest and THEN hit the road.

7. I don't know if there's a recovery for her...

there's been many years of drug use and abuse.

8. This might sound stupid, but I don't know much about her drug problems....

but would they be more likely to affect her singing because:

1) The kind of drugs she took. Like, I guess Coke is bad for your sinuses.

OR
2) She actually is a SINGER who sings well and needs to be in top shape to sing as she does?

I can understand why this isn't an issue with Keith Richards, because he's not much of a singer and the songs he sings don't require his voice to be top notch.

9. I would have to say its the lifestyle

of those that abuse drugs. When that enters into the picture, the career slips out the door. There are other things that are much more important; that is... until they become broke and need more money to float the habit.

Here's an article from the Huffington Post from last September: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/14/whitney-houston-explains-_n_286204.html

2. Wow...

If I hadn't already had a vasectomy, that would have rendered me sterile.
