As details of Whitney Houston's death continue to roll in, one can expect the coverage to focus on sordid details of her decline. But as the 2012 Grammys are handed out tonight, the long shadow of Houston's immortal talent will be on everyone's mind. She was nominated 26 times and won six of those, but her performances at the awards ceremonies were among the most memorable of any in history. Here are a few reminders of what Whitney Houston was capable of when the spotlight was at its brightest:

"I Will Always Love You," 1994
Several More Below:

"Saving All My Love For You," 1986

"The Greatest Love of All," 1987

"One Moment in Time," 1989
Gospel medley (w/Shirley Caesar & Cece Winans), 1996

CRISTAL, having grown up around "AA" for a major part of my Childhood, I would have to SAY that "AA" has and continues to "help" countless persons with "support" network.  I mean, it isn't even any --debate-- it's a "Given" that "AA" is a very strong, effective program and network.  I AGREE with you that "AA" will not save a person and that SALVATION is found in the Blood of Jesus, and Only Him!

What a crockpot full of crap. I went clean after decades of swallowing, shooting, snorting, drinking, and smoking every substance I could get my hands on. I have been clean for a long time now. I am now as healthy as I was before it began.

Only the blood of Jesus washes our soul free from our sins.....no body else, and no AA organization can help people to overcome drugs or any other addiction, and in the heaven nobody sing to the angels, they worship to god.

 

 revelation 7:11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

Romans 14:10-12

 

10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

to "Someone",  Yoo --reading your Post--- this --POST-- is about -You- and your statement and the "Philosophy" behind it!  Myself, i can understand where you are coming from.  --That's true-- in a -sense- if someone "buys" --drugs-- they "contribute" to the whole market.  i understand where you are coming from! Plus: "look at what is happening in Mexico!" "murders' not -stopping- in that whole lane where the drug trade is at it's roots!  You probably have some sort of --inherent-- hatred of 'association' with anything to do with that "trade".  maybe you lost a relative in past there. we do not --know-- and, i think you "cover' yourself when you say you are speaking only about the one -subject- here. Bruce Woodworth comments that you are not "brave" -??-  seems -pointless- statement to me! be "brave' for what? --confrontation-- -??- Damn!  then i am not --brave-- myself, neither because i only wanna be a lamb, too! [i am 'crazy as hell" if their is a minute-burning -"reason". Enough "Natural" -firetraps- day to day to sidestep, isn't there? i went "out of my way' to "register' more than 50 --matches-- in the -material arts-- so, to my thinking -competition is only "pro"][One be --brave-- facing a "thin-man" then the same Chapparo be "in bewilderment" when the thinman a different 'chap' in a mustache, hey? :     )]. Myself, i understand your statement. I hadn't looked at that with the same "trigger' critical eye and I "Appreciated" the 'star' for her --Positive-- contributions.  You well realize that it is ALL in God's hands at this point and the "score cards" been turned in!  So, you are "buzzing" only in your --world-- DOES NOT BOTHER ME --YOUR-- DISPOSITION IT SEEMS "RESPECTABLE" TO ME; I RESPECTED THE --STAR-- AND NEVER WAS -SO CLOSE- AS THE RELATIONSHIP TO BE INTIMATE WHERE EVERY LAST DETAIL IS A ISSUE! "PEACE"Smile

As I stated before, THE HEAVENS HAVE BEEN AWAKENED AND WE SHALL SURELY HEAR THE ANGELS SING.  YOU GO GIRL, YOUR WITH GOD NOW, AND NO ONE CAN HIT THE HIGH ONES AS YOU CAN. YOUR PRESENCE WILL BE MISSED, BUT YOUR MUSIC WILL ALWAYS LIVE WITHIN THE ONES THAT LOVED YOU AND WILL ALWAYS BRING THEM COMFORT AND JOY.

WHile the "why she died is unknown but guess at by many if not all). we are judging just consider that who are we to judge?

 

However she passed om and while shw was at one time not only "Professional model beautiful" but a huge star with an increadible gift givin to her in her own words by God himself, she was truly blessed.

 

Unfortunatly our sister wasimpacted by a great illness "addiction" and that no different than Cancer can kill anyone, from all races and creeds, rich, poor famous or not. Some people as with cancer are affivted with addiction, manny truth be told. Many who read this make overdo any substance, the test for a drug or alchold addiction is  easy. If Alcohol or drugs ever cause a major life crisis financial ot mental/medical. You have a problem with addiction a simple loss of control.

 

I could have gone the same way but never had that kind of money. Addiction is sometin=mes beyound a persons control...but if they reach out for help anyone how wants it can make it.

 

I send my deep love for Whitneys gift and sharimg with me forever she is in my Ipad.I prey she found feedom from her demons, one thing proven over and over is stardom can take lives, it is a shame nut when youu are rich and famous evil infuances hunt you, you must fight.

 

Qhitney you lost the battle and I grieve you loss I hope one person wakes up from your loss, possible someone lost in addiction may see how close they are to following you path and your loss could save them, if you are reading this and drugs contol your life consider the consequences. Can Whitney save you?

 

I am no on who believes God needed her more...she died as a rusult of her lifestyle, not nessaraly choices and I am only feeling loss, blame and judgement is for the small minded reader, it is not my place to judge her, I can either lust feel sorrow for the pain she lived with, we all feel some level the older we get.

 

Play some of her music and dance to it allow yourself to celebararte her life, morn her loss but keep it in your itunes playlist, let her live on with you, feel joy and let her pass in peace.

 

Britney, I hope you found the peace that was missing. I can as a Bi-Polad indivedual feel your pain even without knowing your personal demons. Love for eternety.
