[celine4evauk]

well said.

 

or that she might be back in vegas and she knew that she couldnt make it. This was a very private matter yes. What i saw was Kevin Costner, tyler perry speak im not sure who else was there.

 

 

I watched all of it. Loved Kevin Costners speech.

 

I saw Oprah and Gayle, Mariah, Rev.Jessie Jackson, Roberta Flack also. All i can think of right now.

oh yes i saw them too sorry

[puttybuddy]

I watched the whole funeral too. Just realized I hate gospel music! I thought maybe Kevin was trying to sell more copies of "The Bodygaurd" but I really liked Alicia Keys performance.

Well if he was he succeeded...... I bought a copy off of Amazon yesterday!!!! I really think though he was very fond of her and had huge respect for her talents. he seemed very emotional.... i hope he got a hug after it.....

I know this isn't directly related to Celine but may I ask why do you hate gospel music? I must admit, I am not fond of the more contemporary forms of gospel because I think it is more about selling albums than about true worship. In fact I prefer the form labeled as "contemporary Christian", but "gospel" has it's place. I would just like to understand your use of the term "hate" as opposed to "not fond of" or you just don't "like" it. If you don't mind

I just don't like it is all. It's not my kind of music. And after watching that funeral with every singer just droning on and on I was annoyed by it.

The death of Whitney is sad but in fact, this is not a surprise at all.... I m sorry but there are more important things which happen each year than that and nobody speaks about.

 

Ok. Please show me where are your posts about the "important things" like war and suffering and genocide?

 

And I'm sure that if something happened to Celine, you would be saying the same thing? That there are more important things in the world to talk about?

Brilliant early performance of Whitney:

 

Whitney Houston, "Home"

Ouch!

[celinemaniacaik]

Ouch!

 

Indeed: Ouch!

[Celinenvegas]

the service was so touching, so many great heartfelt moments. It was just so emotional for me. I visited the church last thursday night and it's easy to get all chocked up looking at all the baloons, flowers, cards, etc left by everyday people who are hurting over this loss. My heart is broken for Cissy and Bobbi-Kris.

 

Can I say that Cece Winans still has an incredible voice, many of her inflections remind me of Whitney, they were such good friends too.

[Prima_Donna1]

Well it has been a long time since I have posted on this forum, but I come here to lurk sometimes.

 

I want to say since this happened a week ago I am sorry to bring up something old.

 

I am sad that Whitney died and it's just a shame that she hung around some WRONG people. I wasn't a huge Whitney fan but I liked her for some things and didn't like her for other things. Drugs was one of the things I didn't like, and was really sad she chose that route instead of walking away. If God gives you something you cherish it forever, and do not destroy it. But hey no one in this world is perfect and only God knows what went on with Whitney. I just wish she would have gotten better and stronger. Also if only she would have retired (Sorry). For me that would have been the best thing she could do.

 

As for Celine's comments well.......she said what many were thinking. I know maybe she shouldn't have said speculations of how she died because we don't know Whitney's cause of death, however, after being in that industry for soo many years Celine knows what she is talking about. She can say because she may have witness such things. All Celine did was speak the honest truth, and if you didn't like well it is what it is. I am proud that Celine speaks her mind. Soo many celebrities speak their mind on things and it is applauded when some of their comments could be hurtful and offensive to others. So why can't she because she is clean, and goody two shoes? All I have to say is I am glad that she what she did. This was one of the reasons i liked Celine.

 

Btw- I wasn't trying to speculate. My heart goes out to Whitney's family! I hope she found her peace with Jesus!-because he did love her, and he loved her dearly.

 

The whole funeral was awesome. I liked mostly everything about it. It felt like it was fitting of Whitney's faith.

At the point of Whitney's lowest point she was not thinking about music or icon Whitney Houston. She was a woman who was demoralized and paralyzed by her situation and illegal drugs were the only thing she found that would help her "not" feel. Once she got clean of those somehow she turned to prescription drugs because they are "legal" and people think they are ok but at this point in the US they are a leading killer. For many years I don't think she was even considering making any new music but she managed to release 2 albums, I'd assume because Clive Davis pushed her because he knew there was more in her.

[LVCeline]

Apparently someone got a picture of Whitney lying in her casket and it's being published on the National Enquirer front page. It's all over the news. She looks absolutely stunning though. Still so sad she's gone

[deelicious07]

Randy Jackson was on Ellen DeGeneres Show today. While talking about Whitney Houston's passing he said that Whitney, Mariah, and Celine are the 3 voices of our generation. He noted that because of these 3 vocalist people like Christina Aguilera, and Jennier Hudson came to be. They were inspired by these women. Randy hit it on the nose with this comment. So sad that we are down to 2!

We do not need to see a picture of the body.

[Javito]

^^ Was it necessary to post it here?? :cry:

[CelineAndRene]

OMG. It just became surreal with that photo. How horrible. I am one of many that think photos of the body and casket are highly inappropriate. National Inquirer!! They did the same with Elvis.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link !!

[Celinenvegas]

In this age of instant media it was inevitable that some type of inappropriate picture would come out, just as some with Michael Jackson. It's horribly disrespectful but sadly there are people that always put money first.

[Hilda]

its what i always say...Whitney Mariah Celine are the big three.

[smash]

I read on the News 24 news channel we get here, that Whitneys family have apparently hired security guards to be at the grave. The family have fears that some of her obsessed fans might try to get to the casket, as it is like gold and cost $10,000. She has also got jewellery on of $300,000. This is so scary to me, my stomach is actually feeling funny. What made her family put that on her. They should not have done that. I really hope she was at peace with God and not a materialistic kind of person. I dont know, this has just upset me so. We dont have to impress God with anything, He takes us as we are if we believe, have faith, and have accepted Him right into our lives, completely, and really try to live everyday as He would want us to live, according to His word. I'm so sorry that i have carried on a bit about religion, i'm aware a lot of people don't like it on here. Won't talk about it again. I am sorry if i have upset anyone.

Horrible to think that some nutters would attack a grave, i can understand some fans in time wanting to pay their respects but anyone who desecrates a final resting space is no fan.

Let her body rest in peace.

[Bell]

Unfortunately, these days famous people are not let being alone...even when they're gone.

Oh don't worry, that was just a rumor. The family did NOT bury her with all that beautiful jewelry on. I'm sure Krissi will get those earings.

I really hope it is just a rumour. Thanks.

[rhapsodion]

Actually, I don't find any problem if the family did bury her with all those jewelry. I thought it is a common practice, of course not everyone could afford jewelry that costs hundred thousands of dollars, but many ppl like to dress up their loved ones after they passed away, with outfit or belongings that the late-person likes.
