Thats true family love there. And the stars line up as the first step of just a few that will begin the rush to make all of the cash to be made off of Whitney's death Somewhat surprised to hear about it.
Anyway, hope it will be great tribute to a great singer and lady! But her music back in the 80's and 90's were chart toppers. She was no ordinary singer. She was a one of a kind with exceptional musical talent. Her drug problems is her own personal business just like Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and many other greats who have gone down that route.
Drugs is an addiction and though it is no excuse, it's just like being a smoker, alcoholic or addicted to your local pachinco parlour. Many people are not strong enough to break the addiction. We should simply appreciate her for the wonderful music she gave to us.
It seems like many many years ago, but what happened to Michael Jackson's funeral? Was his broadcast too? I can't remember. I said it with MJ too, and I'll say it here - she was gone a long long time ago. I'd lost complete interest in here years ago and I'll remember her as one of the best singers of the 80's.
Grew up listening to her classic songs and it was unfair that she got a lot of flak for singing songs that weren't 'black' enough. In fact I really loved a lot of the top singers when they first came out, but slowly lost interest as they went on drugs, had nervous breakdowns, changed their singing styles or became right old divas. At least she ended her career with a great song - it was sad to hear voice sound so different and yet the vulnerability and fragility in her voice made it that more interesting.
Had she been any other person, she would have been called a fine singer, but when you compare it to what she was before, it really is sad. Her voice had become no better than, say, Mary J Blige. Flags at half-mast for Whitney Houston was a bit over the top in my opinion. Eastern Standard Time on Dec. No violence occurred. A few months before, he and his good friend Phil Kaufman had made a pact: when one of them died, the other would make sure his ashes were scattered on Cap Rock, at Joshua Tree.
Kaufman and another friend drove the body to Joshua Tree in a red hot-rod Pontiac hearse, and cremated him, coffin and all, before the cops saw the flames and chased the mourners from the grave.
Known to his mother as Christopher J. Wallace, rapper Biggie Smalls was slain in a drive-by shooting. After some passionate fans began climbing atop of cars, the cops began arresting people, including—accidentally—a freelance reporter for the New York Times.
He also said the public will not be informed when Houston's relatives are arriving. Roughly police officers — including patrolmen, S. The Essex County Sheriff's Office and cops from the New Jersey Institute of Technology will handle "crowd control" in areas beyond the church, he said. While DeMaio still expects thousands of fans to congregate in the neighborhood near the church, he asked that residents keep their distance.
There's no procession. Newark's motorcycle unit will be dispatched to provide escorts to several guests, but may not be able to accommodate all of the requests they have received this week, he said. The director did not comment on possible other escorts for celebrity guests on Saturday. The only access to the public will be a live online webcast of the service provided by the Associated Press. Newark police leaders will announce the location of a "media staging area" on Thursday, and DeMaio said he is ready to deal with a crush of paparazzi and potentially upset fans on Saturday.
On Tuesday morning, several fans lined the outside of New Hope to pay their respects at a makeshift memorial on Sussex Avenue and Dey Streets. Many of the mourners said they hoped the family would allow for a public memorial. This afternoon, Newark North Ward Councilman Anibal Ramos said his office had received roughly 20 calls from city residents asking for help to gain access to the Houston funeral, and asking what the city might to do to provide a public ceremony for fans to mourn.
There are roses and balloons at the funeral home.
