Musicians Tweet About Whitney Houston's Death: Were You Personally Affected?

Not really

I didn't know her

hello people

because will always love uuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

Very much so. I didn't know her personally but I am familiar with her struggles and she has been in the backdrop of my life since I was child. My 6th grade graduation song was a Whitney Houston song. I relate to many of her songs in terms of relationships I have had ... good or bad.

Seeing as I personally didn't know her, no I wasn't. But I am still saddened, less because she died as much as because the last ten years or so have been a major waste of talent and beauty.

Didn't know her. To all that voted yes do the deaths of starving and war ravaged human beings effect you personally on a DAILY bases? I think not! The idol worship in America is funny and out of control.

it doesn't affect me it is just someone else has died in the world it happens every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every year! People are only making a big deal just because she is famous!

No hard feelings but hour can you feel dad about a crackheads not affected not surprised

No, she was a great voice, great music and sadly a substance abuse addict, which killed her. I think her family is planning to hold a funeral for 18,000 seats is wrong.
(News Release)
It’s just not Funeral Etiquette and kind of disrespectful because her death was a tragedy, not a celebration.

We should all feel the loss of such a great talent and great spirit. She shall be missed Oneluv Whitney rest in peace!

She has been abusing drugs and who knows what else for decades. I'm surprised it took this long for it to happen.

I am only affected by how much the media has played this sad situation wherein a woman received a gift from God and forgets where the gift came from. As blessed as Ms. Houston was with God given vocals, she was finished long ago when she first made some very bad choices. From what I hear it's not like she was building her career back or was determined to start making better choices and giving up those things that took her voice. She like many are living in the past not the present. The public places these talented people on pedestals and they can do no wrong, which is in my opinion, more harmful than good. When we are finished with them and the talent is no longer present these so called blessed individuals have a vary hard time existing in a world that no longer exist. As stated, I believe we do more harm than good to people by treating them as though they are somehow better than the rest of us because they can sing, dance or act better than the rest of us and they can do no wrong. I am never surprised by the way these talented individuals get it in their heads that they do not have to suffer consequences for their bad decisions and that they will live forever. After all we created them.

I wasn't personally affected cause I didn't know her personally and I wasn't her fan but I knew her & I loved the songs by her I know (four or five) and she had an amazing voice & there's no doubt in that!

You are right, the key word is HAD, long ago as she traded her voice for some cheap thrills. SAD:(

I only know WH as a celebrity therefore it does not personally affect me....but I do felt sad and definitely love her music.

On the other hand, it is very sad to see a beautiful and talented individual died so young and in such a sad way. Drug and alcohol could be your best friends at time, but at the end, they are devils. Also you have to wonder if fames and money really bring any happiness in life....just look at Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse and now Whitney (and many others)....may they all R.I.P..and found happiness in HEAVEN....they all sure will make beautiful music up THERE along with Elvis Presley.

u know sometimes i know you bastards dont think before you speak ....now i have a question how do u know if any of her family memebers are on this site and saw this question and unsympathic answer....u just hurt their feelings all over again with ur mean words and the part about u laugh.....thats mean and if that was ur mother or your grandmother u would be pissed to know that some said some of the things you said was said about your family
think befroe you speak of=r dnt speak at all dumbass

hmm as i recall this website it to state your opinion, and they did. they arent a dumbass for that.

very true!

sad , very sad,

and there are drug overdose every day of the year,

she is just one of those stories,,

sad, very sad.

The cost of susess is to costly

not a single person on her can say they were personally effected.none of you even knew her personally!twits

Not true! Her music effected me profoundly bad days her music was uplifting , good days seem even better .. get the point she was a inspiration to many just ask those kids she helped in Africa or Nelson Mandela what she ment to those she touched.or African Americans she inspired.

she was a musician, she was nothing that should be celebrated. she made millions because she could sing, and anyone that was inspired by that is a moron

so am i a moron because i feel that way about AALIYAH????

why yes, yes you are

ok so explain to me why excatly am i a moron because someone famous inspired me to believe ,stay true to myself and to have strong confidence and not to ever give up.
how possibly could that make me a damn moron because i idolize a positive person

your idolizing somone because they are famous and can sing, neither of those things actually make someone a positive person.

you know what im not gonna argue with you cause for one you dont pay attention and for two you cant even express why im a moron{think before you speak} thirdly you dnt make any sense and i'll be damned if i put up with stupidity so goodbye

Why the hell would I be personally affected by the death of someone I don't personally know from adam?

I don't feel affected when any rich drug abuser overdoses. It makes no difference how famous or rich a drug abuser is when she/he self destructs.

She'll be greatly missed.

Im surprised its a no vote. She was a great singer and 48 is no age at all

Another dead junkie , it was a I told you so moment for me.

I used to like her music but since she got strung out on drugs and booze her voice wasn't the same.

This isn't a valid argument. There are millions that deeply care about individuals around the world that die of starvation. Whitney Houston just so happen to be one of the millions that did care and mourned.
