Wouldn't it just be easier if you don't watch. You know there are more stations on TV than just MTV.

I will be happy when they bury Ms. Houston, and put to rest her sorrow. I love her music but too much is too much.

I read that Whitney's body was returned to New Jersey. Does that mean they left her head in California? Why would they return just her body? What are their plans for her head?

Wish it was only about Whitney and truly in her own words and not the parade of people who will talk about how they were influenced. It doesn't take much to find one!

Yes, would be great if confined to her musical accomplishments; let's hope it isn't like the "interviews" of Michael Jackson run shortly after his death, some of which were despicably related to "drug use" - of course this was prior to his death being ruled a homicide and his murderer in a white coat (Conman Murray) being put behind bars where he rightfully belongs. Let's not jump the gun a second time.......

"We will take a brief moment to honor Houston's life, right after 16 and pregnant, jersey shore, and all of our irrelevant to music programs."

Now that she's gone....for the next two weeks......it'll be everything Whitney. Not to mention all the great things said about her.............what a shame no one could day all these nice things about her while she was ALIVE.
