FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mitch Winehouse, the father of late British singer Amy Winehouse who died last
year, also paid tribute to Houston and the recently deceased Etta James on
the social networking site, writing: “Amy, Etta, Whitney. Their music
will NEVER die. What a great girl group in heaven. Mitch”.
Winehouse, who was in Los Angeles when he heard the news, also said he was “absolutely
devastated”.
The cause of Houston’s death is unclear, but detectives have launched an
investigation.
The I Will Always Love You and Saving All My Love singer won multiple Grammys
including album and record of the year, selling millions of albums and
singles worldwide.
She also carried her success into the film industry, appearing in hit movies
including The Bodyguard.
However, her career began to unravel as she battled with drug addiction,
spending various spells in rehab. Her powerful voice began to suffer because
of her demons prompting record sales to nosedive and in 2007 she split from
husband Bobby Brown after 15 years of marriage.
Showbiz journalist Dan Wootton told broadcasters: “She will be remembered
as one of the voices of the 1980s and 1990s. She as a powerhouse, but
unfortunately for the last 10 years we have witnessed her slow decline.
“It’s something that no one would have expected. There are parallels to
the shocking death of Amy Winehouse six months ago. You have to wonder what
attracts these incredible voices on a path of self destruction that so often
involved drug abuse.”
England footballer Rio Ferdinand was also among those to pay his respects,
tweeting: “RIP Whitney Houston…what a singer.” British pop star
Cheryl Cole also wrote: “So sad :-(”
Last week Houston was pictured looking dishevelled and disorientated as she
left a Hollywood nightclub with her daughter Bobbi Kristina after performing
at a pre-Grammy party.
Recent reports suggested that the soul star was on the brink of bankruptcy,
while others said she was being lined-up by Cowell as a judge on the
American equivalent of the X Factor.
Houston had made a comeback in 2009 releasing a new album after seven years
off the scene. She revealed that her life began to spiral out of control
after her 1992 success in The Bodyguard.
“I am absolutely heartbroken at the news of Whitney’s passing,”
legendary music producer Quincy Jones said in a written statement.
“I always regretted not having had the opportunity to work with her. She
was a true original and a talent beyond compare. I will miss her terribly.”
Detectives said paramedics unsuccessfully tried to resuscitate the singer, who
was pronounced dead at 3.55pm local time.
Houston was due to appear at the LA gala of music’s biggest occasion – the
Grammy Awards – later tonight (early Monday UK time) and had also been at
rehearsals for the show, coaching singers Brandy and Monica.
Aspiring singer Joelle Moses, an contestant on the 2008 X Factor, said Houston
was her main inspiration and influence, describing her as her “musical
mother”.
“I’m just in shock – I can’t believe it,” she told BBC 5Live.
Moses, from London, added: “She was an incredible musician. I feel a lot of
people wrote her off and thought she was washed out but personally I never
felt that. Her voice was so incredible and so powerful and when you watched
her you were so mesmerised by her performance because she sang from her
heart.”
Police later said there were no “obvious signs” of any criminal intent in
relation to her death.
Meanwhile, former husband Brown, also a singer, was due to perform in
Mississippi, as news spread about Houston’s death.
He told the sell-out crowd: “First of all, I want to tell you that I love you
all. Second, I would like to say, I love you Whitney. The hardest thing for
me to do is to come on this stage.”
Cowell said he expected tonight’s Grammys to become a tribute to the singer,
describing her as a “trailblazer and “legend”.
He told Heart FM: “I’m sure they (the organisers) are going to move quickly
and I understand and I expect this is to become, as it should be, a tribute
to her because you have to remember a lot of the people who are going to be
getting awards at the Grammys, they owe an awful lot of their success, I
believe, to Whitney, because Whitney was a trailblazer. It’s a night she
deserves to be remembered fondly.”
Houston appeared on the X Factor in Britain in 2009 following an invite from
Cowell.
The music mogul added: “It is just really, really, really horrible. We all
knew that she had issues and I last met her when she came on X Factor in
England when she was doing her comeback album and you could sense at the
time there were a still few problems, but she was a delight to work with on
the day, she was very professional, she was kind to everyone around her, she
probably wasn’t altogether there, but it was still Whitney Houston and you
know that you are in a presence of a legend and I will never forget that
day.”
He continued: “There are so few people like her in the world. They are a
rarefied breed, these are true superstar, legendary divas and I say divas in
the nicest possible way. She had one of the greatest voices I have ever
heard in my life, ever.”
Speaking to CNN, Cowell said Houston was the benchmark contestants on his
reality shows had always tried to reach.
He also revealed he was going to discuss the possibility of the late singer
potentially joining the judging panel of the American X Factor with
producers next week.
“Whitney – ever since I’ve been doing this job, particularly doing talent
shows over the last 10 years, the number one singer anyone ever wanted to
emulate, if they really wanted to be a superstar, it was always Whitney,” he
said.
Police in Los Angeles said that Houston and her entourage, which included
friends, family and co-workers, had taken up a “fair portion” of the hotel’s
fourth floor.
“She was pronounced dead at the hotel and a number of people were able to
identify her,” Lieutenant Mark Rosen from Beverly Hills Police told the BBC.
“We still have detectives and crime scene investigators at the hotel, we are
looking into the matter as a death investigation its not a crime scene at
this time,” he added.
Mr Rosen said Houston’s family had been informed and the matter would be
passed to the coroner following the police probe.
It is believed the singer had been due to perform at the annual pre-Grammy
party of her long-time mentor, record producer Clive Davis, at the Beverly
Hilton, but was found hours before it began.
The party went ahead despite her death.
