It's not a total shock, but it sure is sad. She had a great voice, and she made great pop records.

I certainly loved her first album when I was young.

Wow. So sad. What a waste, she was so talented and so lovely.

I know, right? I'll just try and think of her as the exuberant young woman belting out pop songs that she used to be:

No autotune necessary.

This is the isolated vocal track for "How Will I Know?"

Incredible voice:

I consider her one of the greatest voices of all time, a lot of people tried to sing her songs but no one got close enough in my book, well we knew that she had a lot of problems, I guess that it was too much. We will allways remember her as a Diva.

So sad! She had an incredible voice. I always hoped that she would make a comeback and put her troubles behind her.

I've always thought we should change are national anthem here in the United States to something non-professional people can sing, but if we had done that before 1991 we wouldn't have had Whitney Houston singing arguably the best version of the Star Spangled Banner Ever:

Emotionally, I was more affected by the death of Etta James, because I was a huge, huge fan. But Whitney's death has reminded me just how good she was and how rare a talent she had before drugs destroyed her.

Here are a few more of her hits with lyrics:

I Will Always Love You.

How Will I Know?

Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

Didn't We Almost Have It All?

So Emotional.

I was listening to them yesterday on YouTube for another project and was stunned to see the headline on my Comcast home page when I went to shut down. Such a shame that she's gone so young and had such a difficult life despite her talent.

She was an inspiration to a lot of today's even younger singers. It occurs to me that the songs above might be an inspiration to some of our TnT writers. I Will Always Love You has got to be Trip's theme for the relaunch take on TATV.
