Mike made more of an impact being the first....but as far as the female black artists....she was first

They were bad for each other, both enablers to the other one, so in a way, yes, that's very possible.
I personally do don't blame him, long term drug use in general will do that. No one (unless you were close to her) can truly say

if she had been clean for awhile or not, but more than likely, that's exactly what killed her.

RIP to both the singer and the person.

Whitney has a history of substance abuse in her family...how are you blaming Bobby and they haven't been together for a few years now?
I wanna see Mariah in on a tribute...if i have to hear Count on Me w/CeCe Winans i will lose it cuz i played that song when i was little and a friend died.
my heart goes out to her daughter & i won't believe Ray J had anything to do w/this until its confirmed

I had actually meant I don't blame him. My mistake.

Oh, no doubt I would want my tribute to be done by someone who had worked with me and knew me to some degree, as opposed to being done by someone who was simply one of the most popular acts of the day. So with that being said, does Hudson fit that 'worked with her and knew her' description? And does Beyoncé fit that 'popular singer but they never really had any interaction' description? And I'm legitimately asking, because I legitimately don't know.


Beyonce doesn't fit at all. Aside from dude on NT gassed at her being the "queen".. and im  def not a fan of the "Hudson" thing... i've said Marriah or Chaka Khan

Oh then yeah, in that case.

But I don't think the color barrier had anything to do with sex, it was just that MTV hated black people (they wouldn't even give my dude Prince that much play). 

"Billie Jean" changed it all.

MJ = King.

I agree you with that, so far it's looking like it's gonna be Jennifer Hudson and Chaka Khan

and I don't think I was gassed at all, (don't even know if you're referring to me)  I just think she has the voice to do a tribute, I didn't take anything from the 

other singers or say they couldn't or shouldn't...

I think you need a male and female who are truly influenced by her
my vote would be Alicia Keys and Robin Thicke 
Click to expand...


if you wanna talk influence...
Christina, Brandy, J. Hud and probably a few others...

nothing about Alicia makes me think she could do Whitney justice...

Brandy isn't the best singer but its not secret Whitney was her idol and their Cinderalla movie was a dream come true for Brandy and today is her bday
tired.gif
 i'm sure she'a mess along w/Clive Davis who was trying really hard to get Whitney together...

i read Bobby was doing a NE concert tonight and wasn't doing well trying to hold it together as expected...

hopefully Bodyguard, the Cinderalla movie and The Preacher's Wife come on soon...love all 3

told myself a month ago to but the Preacher's Wife Soundtrack again...the Waiting to Exhale Soundtrack >* although I don't expect most NT'rs to have heard it
laugh.gif
 
Living in an era where a lot of people don't know who Whitney Houston even is...we're getting old. Feels bad man

I played her whole catalog, "My Love is Your Love FINALLY Broke Me".........thats all you gonna get from Whitney.................Damn


RIP


Weird thing is.....................It feels like she died a long time ago......Yo I smoke my spliffs and I dont ever see myself going past that... I wish some of these celebrities would be content with the same high......

Spark up fellas
 
Rest in Peace Whitney. You up there with the good people now. Personally, I always wanted these 2 together.
