A week after Whitneys passing on, Im still a mess. Crying everytime I hear her songs played in the radio. Nothing can console me from the pain of losing my singular musical influence. MANILA LOVES YOU WHITNEY. Please watch this impromtu tribute from my country. I LOVE YOU WHITNEY.

Sheryl is tight w/ j-Holliday. They both made shady comments yrs ago when they were promoting "divas simply singing." they were in an interview together it ticked me off.

I don't know if someone posted this allready, but this is Aretha Franklin's statement:
NEW YORK (AP) — Aretha Franklin believed Whitney Houston had overcome her demons and was primed for a comeback, which made learning of the troubled singer's death all the more shocking.
Franklin said she was watching TV in her hotel room in Charlotte, N.C., when she learned of Houston's death in a hotel suite across the country in Beverly Hills, Calif.
"I was sitting on the side of the bed," she said in an interview on NBC's "Today" show Friday. "I just jumped up off the side of the bed: 'What?! This could not be!'"
Franklin said she had seen recent video of Houston, "and she looked fresh, she looked healthy and she looked gorgeous. And I thought, 'Yes, she has conquered her challenges and she's on the way.'"
Now her fans should remember Houston for her artistry, Franklin said, and not focus on the challenges she faced with substance abuse.
Recalling how Houston's smile made her eyes twinkle, Franklin then recited a poem she wrote in Houston's memory:
"Twinkle, twinkle superstar,
We don't wonder where you are.
Up above the world so bright,
Like a diamond in the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, she stood alone.
I can't believe that she's gone."
The Queen of Soul had long been a friend and mentor to Houston, who died last Saturday at the age of 48. She will sing at Houston's funeral Saturday in Newark, N.J.

Not really a celebrity, but this is a local actress from Sparkle who talked about how Whitney on the set of Sparkle.
When "Sparkle" reaches theaters this summer, one of the most powerful scenes could involve Whitney Houston singing the gospel hymn "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" at the Iroquois Avenue Christ Lutheran Church in Indian Village.
"She did a magnificent job of it," says local actress Linda Boston, who was there for multiple takes of Houston's performance. "Every time she sang, it brought tears to many people's eyes. I was quite moved by it."
As the news media continue to relentlessly cover Houston's death and look back on her public successes and personal struggles, anecdotes from the "Sparkle" cast and crew indicate that the music icon was focused and happy while she was filming the movie in Detroit in October and November.
"She was definitely on the upswing," says Boston. In "Sparkle," Boston plays Sister Clora, a friend of the Detroit mother portrayed by Houston. The characters attend the same church, and Boston plays the organist in the scene where Houston performed the hymn.
Boston describes Houston as a joy to work with and someone who cared about the people on the set. She notes that Houston, waiting between takes outside the church, patiently spoke to some young extras eager to discuss their careers with the superstar.
"She took the time to have an exchange with them, she talked at length with them and laughed and joked," Boston says. "I thought, she didn't have to do that, and I admired her for that."
Boston says she is anticipating the best from "Sparkle," which costars Jordin Sparks and is set to open Aug. 17. And she wants people to know that Houston was "at the top of her game" in Detroit.
"People said that her voice was diminishing. I did not hear that on the set," Boston says. "She and Jordin sang all the time on the set. Her voice was wonderful."
A glimpse of Houston singing for the movie at the Indian Village church is posted on the "Entertainment Tonight" website as part of a video of Houston's last interview with the show.

How twisted do you have to be, to be jealous of a person who died? Whether with us or not, Whitney Houston will always be.
Guess what, old ladies from Dreamgirls -- even now, no one cares about you. They're only talking to you because they're desperate for WHITNEY clips. And you know it too, you bloodsuckers. SMDH

And the Lord asks me what I did with my life,
I will say I spent it with you.

I'm not sure any of you know this singer but Jenny Berggren (formerly Ace of Base) is very heartbroken about Whitney's passing. Actually while they performed at the music awards in 1994 Whitney was seen in the crowd moving to the music. I have that on tape! It was really cute. It might be on you-tube actually. Anyway I am a huge fan of Jenny and wanted to share what she posted on her facebook. She was my guiding star. And later my praying time. Rest in peace, dear Whitney. I will always love you:( http://www.facebook....erggrenofficial
I remember Kenny G beat her in one category and he was like "you sure this is for me??!"
