I love how everyone is talking smack about Whitney Houston and saying she sucks. I'm not the biggest fan of that style of music but know talent when I hear it. Show some respect, you hacks. The woman could sing - had one of the best voices in the history of gospal/soul/pop.
She had a great voice and made a few great songs. Due to drugs and typical shelf life of pop stars, she probably wasn't going to make anymore good songs in her life. No great loss, she was already dead to me, but I would never say that she sucked.
As a side note, I find it funny how all popular musicians that die now are compared to MJ. "Her death comes as a tragedy, but Michael Jackson's death was the most important OF ALL TIME."

TRUE KVLT THREAD
Definitely. She had more talent than 99.9% of the bands most of the brain dead idiots on this site drool over on a daily basis.
And she made music that was much less crappy than Dying Abortion or Northern Nachtwinter, or whatever unintelligible garbage with an illegible logo is the current hip name in the uber-cool world of "underground" metal.
Most of the hate is just misplaced jealousy and anger that all the "talent" discussed on this board will never get anyone anything more than a position at a fryolator at McDonald's and a permanent residence in their mom's basement.
There's a reason black and death metal music will never sell as well, or even be respected as legitimate music, like as Whitney Houston. It just plainly sucks, end of discussion.
I'm a sucker for ballads and Whitney Houston's ballads were always awesome to me. Though her version "I Will Always Love You" isn't as good as the original Dolly Parton version (hipster alert hehe)
Chiming in to LOL at manowarrior and Mr. OP Athrillius for fighting strawmen so that Whitney can rest in peace. she was a stupid bitch (see rusty's video) with a historically "decent" singing voice and mediocre songwriting staff. NEXT.

Aril was mourning the OG child molestorr Michael Jackson along with the rest of pitiful society, when I was mourning him back when the Thriller video came out ('cause he was dead in that, lol get it) (actually I was like 4) (was he a diddler yet way back then?)
Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? Did you know that, Arill? It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album.
The difference should be fairly obvious. Whitney has a great voice, Q-Bert's voice sounds like a bag of donkey dicks turned inside out. When you actually have singing talent, you'll always be more successful.
Some have that talent, some don't. That's life. Bitch about it all you want and post stupid memes, it ain't changing the rules.
"amazing voice" is subjective. She was no better than any american idol finalist. Shit to my ears.
I'd like to hear her try and scream EQUIMANTHOOOORN!!!!!!!
Look, I'm not defending Houston in the least. She let drugs take over her life and died because of it, and I wasn't a fan of her music either, so I could give a shit less that she's dead. With that said, expecting the general public, especially the AMERICAN general public to even acknowledge the death of someone who was never a part of pop culture, no matter yours or any other single person's feelings on the man's genius, is somewhat foolish.
I was WAY more offended by the outpouring of love for Steve Jobs when he died. The guy was an arrogant asshole, but everyone praised him after he died just for creating a cool gadget. Fuck that guy.
Its funny all you have been hearing about the past few days is this stupid nigger bitch died. Who gives a fuck? Where are the news stories for all of the heroes that have died in Iraq and Afganistan. Fuck the media and fuck you aril for this ghey thread.
yes i mad

I really dont care about the media reaction. I thought that point was dumb myself. Im just sayin she wasn't that fucking great. Yeah, from a sanitized american idol point of view, she could sing. So can the chick in the church choir.
Id like to see her do something as groundbreaking as Under the Sign of the Black Mark

Wasn't she just as innovative and groundbreaking in her genre(R&B, Soul) as Bathory was in theirs?
Indeed. But ALL THIS THREAD WAS MEANT TO BE WAS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF HER VOICE, REGARDLESS OF WHTHER OR NOT SHE IS LIKED.
I PERSONALLLY DESPISE HER BUT ADMIT SHE COULD SING

What's wrong with that? They are both fruit. One is orange and one is red.
That's like saying the only difference between Houston and Mr. Q is the color of their skin, so you can compare the two. It's about musical careers and citrus, bra.
