Whitney Houston Files for Divorce

Wednesday, September 13, 2006, 09:29 PM | Being Bobby Brown

(from WIreimage)

Well, it’s about damn time! Unfortunately, the damage has been done — to Whitney’s image, and quite frankly, her brain — just say no to drugs kids! – there is no turning back for Whitney — I *think*. Her behavior in Being Bobby Brown didn’t look like it was entirely because of Bobby. Whitney should just get her life back in order and stop concerning herself with a musical comeback. Her fans will appreciate her more, knowing that she’s finally ok, instead of trying to release another album. Of course, she won’t listen to the fans, it’s all about ego in Hollywood. Having another hit album won’t make you a *better* person Whitney.

I saw Whitney Houston over 20 years ago at an outdoor venue in Boston. It was a magical evening. She was captivating and breath-takingly stunning in a way that I have yet to see another performer. She held all of us in her spell as she belted out one smash hit after another. It has saddened me to watch her life spiral out of control.
Fame can be an evil to be reckoned with, for sure.

Blessings & strength to Whitney and her family.

Unfortunately, it is too little too late. I agree. Whitney should get her life together – get some mental health professional to help her. But the damage is, unfortunately, permanent. I’m afraid her vocal range is shot. Her music used to convey class, dignity and style.
Her unfortunate wasted life with Bobby Brown has shattered all of that. The magic of Whitney’s music is forever gone.

If Whitney had just COME OUT OF THE CLOSET years ago she would have never had a need for CRACK. Be honest with yourself girl and get your head together! A FAKE life will drive anyone insane.

I was at a grocery store today and I heard Whitney’s voice over the PA system singing “All The Man That I Need”. I stopped, held an orange, and listened till the end of the song. Nobody sings like Whitney. I love her.

Now, with enough rehab, counseling, good publicity, and vocal re-training (if she really needs it, on the literal physical side of it), or maybe just vocal rest, Whitney could make a successful comeback. Living in New Jersey might have been bad for her all these years. Perhaps a change of environment is just all that she needs. Girl, move to California and get that sunshine, and the pacific air. Then, come back to us swinging, will you? I believe you can. I really do.

Whitney’s singing talent is inborn, inherent and nobody can take that away from her. What was damaged was her DIVA status. She wasn’t able to hold it and defend it from all these rising young talents, but she could record another album if she wants to and I’m still going to buy it because it’s Whitney.

Everyone will take a fall in his or her career at one point or another. That’s a given in the entertainment industry we have to face. She had her highs and she reached her lows. This time around, with the divorce, she could reach midstream instantly and that is a very good start. There is future for Whitney. She’s only in her early forty’s—she could do plenty of things to repair her image–Hollywood, TV, or an international tour, you name it. After the suggested move, I’d say, get a good management team, and stay away from crack forever. I really believe there is a second act for Whitney waiting and I hope she takes the first chance that she could get.

Closetgirl, wouldn’t a LEMMON have been more appropriate? I dunno, I only hold oranges for Nick Lachey!

I blame it all on reality TV! There aren’t many couples who’ve done a reality show that are still together! Think about it….

Next, Aaron Carter is going to get divorced from his brothers and sisters. You heard it here first.

Too bad it took her 14 years to figure out that marrying Bobby Brown was the worst things she could ever do.

I was a Whitney fan back in the day when she was still singing. I can only imagine what kind of damage she’s done to her vocal cords/throat (not to mention lungs) over the years. I’d like to see her make a comeback, but it’s going to take a long, long time.

We all make mistakes and we are not perfect. Whitney was
and still can be a great singer, actress, and all that
God wants her to be. It saddened my heart to hear about
the drug use. Let us pray for her and not talk about her. Whitney will make a comeback. She also made a huge
mistake when she married Bobby Brown. He did not make her do any of the things she did, we have a choice okay.
May God bless Whitney.
