Anyone who would then report the strange behavior of Whitney Houston in the days before the Grammys had to be "shocked but not surprised" by reports of its demise, as the saying goes. Wednesday in particular was of course the public after a hard day's troubled singer, whose appearance and behavior raised eyebrows among reporters, photographers and ordinary people who witnessed the vicious rounds.
First first visited Brandy, Monica and Clive Davis pre-Mogul rehearsals for the Grammy party, where the Los Angeles Times reporter described it as smelling of alcohol "clearly bloated" and "disheveled in mismatched clothes and hair that was dripping wet with sweat or water, or" . According to the time when Houston was not mugging and gesticulating wildly for Brandy and Monica - who make the media junket, as well as preparing a duet - was alternately skipping around the lobby or 'wandering aimlessly' around at the Beverly Hills of the base. Apparently guests had even called security to report the singer is doing on his hands at the swimming pool.
Houston Thursday was worse ... way worse. That evening, she attended a star party by Kelly Price at Tru nightclub in Hollywood. When he left, as if stunned, photographers took close-ups of her legs, which appeared blood stains streaked with scratches on her wrists.
Wherever the blood and scratches came from, there were no clashes with any public - even though he had apparently been narrowly avoided. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Houston got a loud argument at a party with an "X Factor" finalist Stacy Francis in the club's VIP section, shortly after he appeared on stage together. Source told THR that Houston got "combative" and that the boy Houston, Ray J, the defense really stepped Francis intentions. "Hands were raised" in anger, he said.

The final public performance happened in Houston in the club that night. It lasted less than a minute, as she sang "Jesus Loves Me" with the price of an impromptu, Duet ruined captured by any number of videographers in the crowd. You may have to say that it was not in his best voice of what turned out to be her swan song appearance.
Houston had a much quieter early on Friday and Saturday, at least publicly, such as pictures of the mess is not so hot circulated on the internet. Is the singer knew that jokes and speculation, or was unaware of the urgency in her last hours is unknown.
Just two months ago, "Saturday Night Live" star has been rigged as an out-of-touch and out-of-it in a sketch where Maya Rudolph taking the impression of a famous graduate of Houston. In the skit, hyperactive Rudolph / Houston was brought to give Miley Cyrus some advice drugs, bragging, "I've been clean and sober since 2013."
Going to be treated as lush or a drug addict in the past few months had to be stern rebuke for someone to claim that clean when you try to comeback a few years earlier. However, the events of last year, it became clear that, in contrast to the well-known tale redemption as are Robert Downey Jr., rehabilitation does not really get to Houston.
Her sobriety was the subject of public concern since the late 90's. Common Public misassumption was that if it ever came out from under the influence of her husband Bobby Brown, she will not. "He was my drug," she told Oprah in 2009, two years after the divorce, after apparently cleaning. "I did not do anything without him. I was not getting high by myself."
Whitney Houston remember the pre-Grammy gala Clive Davis
But lately, it started to look like her ex-husband is no longer the only engine of its substance abuse, if indeed he was. In May, Houston rep admitted that the singer was involved in rehabilitation for ongoing outpatient drug and alcohol problems.
That was right at the time of Houston and her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, made the news a little too noisy in the first row of the concert series in LA While Prince Prince reps later denied there was any dispute, there was a time that the prince was so pretty behaviors Houston and demands to get to the scene that supposedly forbade her to come to the end of its run.
All this was just a few months after the March 2011 edition of the National Enquirer that featured a photo spread of two pages Bobbi Kristina allegedly snorting lines of cocaine at a party (though her mother nowhere in sight).
The tabloids also last year that fortune ran out of Houston. Without a new album on the horizon, its best hope for renewal Sparkle career was a movie, in which she played a supporting role as a mom walking Jordin Sparks. The film - her first since the preacher's wife in 1996 - was shot late last year and come out in August, accompanied by a soundtrack that includes two new songs Houston.
Otherwise, Houston does not have much of a career going on at the time of her death. It should've been an album-back, 2009 is looking at you, he sold one million copies in the U.S. - far from shameful numbers, but also far from 13 million units, for which her 1985 debut had been certified. The most embarrassing factor was that none of the singles from the album rise above number 70 on the Hot 100 list (Houston only top 10 single of the year 2000 was a reissue of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in the patriotic days after 9/11.)
Whitney lives in pictures
Houston only the major routes in the last decade have been abroad, away from the critical eyes of the American media. In September 2009, she played a short concert comeback for "Good Morning America" in Central Park. The blurring line between entertainment and news about exhibitions in the morning it appeared as hosts Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts Houston praised the performance of their appearance, just like every other media outlet reporting as the voice of a generation can no longer handle the demands of even a short show, pure or no.
The reports of ongoing problems Houston was never her image as can be, say, Amy Winehouse. America never wanted to think of it as a bad girl, just maybe a more adult version of the Girl Next Door, who'd seemed so healthy, who want to dance with someone who loved her. But with the chops, and failing her picture, not much left to burn or prosperous certainly explore career z
In recent days, a solution for returning to Houston to the headlights without subjecting her voice singing to the acute controls was apparently was fixed. Rumors have been floated - and published by the Hollywood Reporter - it was up to the competition as a judge in "The X Factor". Simon Cowell Piers Morgan said that Houston did not actually come close, but this is in response to press reports (which is supposed to be initiated by the camp of Houston), his team plans to have a meeting of considering it on Monday.
Bobby Brown breaks
But getting in the public clash Thursday night with Stacy Francis, a devotee, who was one of Season 1 "x factor" finalists, Houston could not do grace, had lived for dissent to come up with Cowell and the producers of this week.
Even in this high-profile period of at Grammy week, Houston did not seem to escape from the small acts of self-sabotage. Her fans can only hope that this summer, when the pride that ultimately prevailed to define their legacy.
