Is this for real or one of those stupid "oops, we posted a living person's obituary" thing?

It's on BBC News 24's Aston Strap right now. How sad

CNN and MSNBC are both reporting it.

So sad for her daughter and family.

Oh geez.

I'm really sorry to hear this. I loved Whitney for years. I know she'd had a tough past decade or so. My gosh...

So sad. She was so young - only 48. Terrible news, really. I think I read that she had just performed at a club somewhere last night.

RIP Whitney. Thoughts going out to her family and friends. She was a superstar.

This was a shocker. She was a great talent. It's sad how far she fell. RIP.....sad day indeed

So very sad. A tragic loss on so many levels. Voice of an angel and such talent. Sigh...

Ugh, what an utter sh*tshow...

Whitney's body is still in the hotel- the same hotel where they are still holding a Grammy-related party thrown by Clive Davis. I mean, how utterly morbid and tasteless is that? Show some f***ing respect!!

That's not far from where I live, and I feel the same way..

My favorite Whitney tune was, "Why Does It Hurt So Bad"

Yes! I listened to Waiting to Exhale this weekend. It is her masterpiece. And how many people on Earth get to have a masterpiece?

This is one of the saddest news I've heard lately. I became Whitney's fan twenty years ago, when I was like 8 or 9 years old. I remember going to the music shop in the neighbourhood to buy her album "The Bodyguard" which of course was omniprestent in 1992/1993. I remember "I Will Always Love You" being played constantly in every possible radio station in my country. I remember how I used to collect articles about Whitney. I remember her smile beaming from cover of magazines. I remember dancing to "I Wanna dance With Somebody" on school party. I remember singing her songs on karaoke party with my girlfriend. I remember buying her albums and cassettes. I remember kissing her poster

I remember how I reacted to her voice for the first time...(I thought it was Cher, because Cher was the only female artist that I knew then

). I remember how I couldn't choose what to listen to in 1993: Janet Jackson or Whitney. I remember lending albums my friends. I remember how we used to listen to her music collectively. I remember her concert in Poland in 1998...I remember reminiscing the passing of my grandmother right along with Whitney's ballads. I remember praying for her during her "drug days". I remember buying her latest album "I Look To You". I remember how it made me glad to hear her new songs. I remember being saddened by the fact that her tour got so many bad reviews. I remember joyu in my heart each time I heard that young artists saying how influential Whitney was for them. I remember so many beautiful things connected to her music. She was one of my first Idols. I know that her private life has been a constant fight with addictions lately but it is her voice that will stay with us forever. There will be never another Whitney Houston...

And I will remember...

Rest in Peace,
I Will Always Love You Whitney!

I can't say it's a massive shock. She ran herself into the ground with drugs and a terrible relationship. RIP and all that. Just not massively surprised.

A very honest statement. I feel the same way. I also sorta fealt that Michael Jackson wanted to die. These deaths are sad but not a shock. My heart goes out to the kids.
