My guess is it’s exactly what most of her fans are looking for.

Maybe it’s just because they garner so much publicity, but It seems we lose too many of our greatest stars (in all fields) to the success that brings them to us in the first place.

She had all the assets, exceptional talent and beauty. Clearly, intelligence and poise attended too. How could such gifts could have been squandered? At what point in her life, what fork in the road, did fate nudge her in the wrong direction? Was it a bad gene, or a bad nudge? Nature or nurture? What kind of person was she, not to the public, but to her intimates? Was she selfish or personally giving?

We know that power corrupts. Whitney Houston’s tragedy is strong evidence that success can be no less corrosive. What a tragedy.
