As far as the media goes, she said all along they were blood sucking demons out to eat her flesh and they lived up to it big time, saddening but not surprising.

Whitney's final send off should be in keeping with the faith she held so dear and done in a way that her family feel they can properly mourn and make peace with their loss, even if that may take time. manish.

I know I don't want to see a bunch of pictures of her family mourning, and have it turn into a huge circus. No thank you. It'll be enough of a media circus outside the church, there's going to be thousands of people out there, THOUSANDS. This is still so hard to comprehend...I can't believe we are talking about this. My God.

I generally AGREE, it's amazing that for a family who has spent so much of their lives in public really the deep understanding of privacy, and faith has not moved an inch over time.

I would hope there may be a concert in her honour to celebrate her done in a positive way, not a mournful way like MJ. Although people put them together as the equal level of stardom, we all know Whitney was not a spectacle maker, just the stage, the band and the voice was all she needed. The funeral should be a private and simple affair, privacy that was constantly invaded in life.

In my heart of hearts I feel that Cissy and Dionne are angry with Clive Davis for continuing on with his party. It was the utmost disrespect to a woman who supposedly meant so much to him. I wouldn't be surprised if Clive wasn't invited. I really wouldn't. I pray for the family and her daughter to find the solace and the healing in HIS WORD. Whitney deserves to be around love! I'm so sad today.

The fact that people were going across a red carpet while she was laying on the 4th floor is just eerie. If I had been invited, I most certainly wouldn't have gone. Much like Sharon Osbourne, who opted out of going to the party.

Chris Christie will pay tribute toWhitney Houston by ordering flags to be flown at half-staff during her funeral service on Saturday. "Obviously, Whitney Houston was an important part of the fabric — the cultural fabric of this state," Christie said at a press conferenceTuesday, adding that Houston, a Newark native, is in the "pantheon of great New Jersey musical talents" like Frank Sinatra, Count Basie andBruce Springsteen. "Her terribly premature death is an awful loss for her family and the incredible New Jersey musical family," he said. "Our prayers are with her family." Bobby Brown: Bobbi Kristina released from hospital, recovering Christie, who made the same order last year after the death of Clarence Clemons, said his office is in contact with Houston's family for further details about the service. The invitation-only funeral will take place Saturday at noon at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark. The body of Houston, who was found dead Saturday at 48, was flown back to Newark late Monday night. http://www.tvguide.c...fileid=breaking

It was all so sudden so the grief is massive. I mean look at us fans being cut up, imiagine if you lived with her your whole life.
