Whitney Houston's Unfortunate Death


Whitney Houston took over the 1980's soul and r&b music until the use of drugs. People say that it was the influence that Bobby Brown had on her when they got married at the age of 48. The police said that her body was found in her room at the Beverly Hills Hilton. She was one of the world's best-selling artists. Her music was big in the black churches especially and when she died, many people got hit by the news and it was a stressful moment for even the fans. Whitney Houston was an influence to Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey and apparently, Mariah Carey sounded just like Whitney Houston when she first came out. Whitney confessed taking cocaine, marijuana, pills and this made her voice sound bad; it was all raspy and hoarse.

I think that Whitney went from one amazing thing to one disaster. She started off singing in the church and her mother was singing in the church and at the end of the story, she supposedly died because of drug abuse. I heard that ever since Bobby Brown came into her life, it just started going downhill. That is when the drugs were introduced to her life and this was known from when they got married. I also find it sad that he had to die at the age of 48, that is a young age to die these days and she had a daughter. Apparently, she went in jail the day after she died and many members of Bobby Brown's family died. He must be having a hard time.

  2. Sounds like there was a lot of stress in her life, being a singer then having Bobbies family dropping off. Who know's... with the drugs she was taking, maybe it was a purposely suicide?
