Houston was, in my opinion, one of the last great artist to come from the "music industry" before it turned itself into a economical musical whore; birthing money makers and not developing talent, let alone promoting artists talents without endorsement appeal. she was talented, driven and embraced by america for a variety of reasons. over time the public opinion held by many has changed but inside this woman is a voice and a spirit that remains...i can only wait for her return and to hear her sing once again. you can think what you want, say what you say, but you can't deny the god given talent she posses and the power of this exceptional woman. -ron beck
Houston, 43, has won six Grammy awards and scored a string of chart-toppers, including Saving All My Love For You. But her career has faded in recent years, amid stays in drug rehabilitation clinics. Ms Houston has a 13-year-old daughter with Brown, whose own singing career has been overshadowed by brushes with police over drugs and alcohol.
Her publicist Nancy Seltzer confirmed that she had filed for divorce, but refused to say where or when. She said the singer had no statement to make.
Houston followed her mother Cissy Houston and cousin Dionne Warwick by beginning her vocal career in gospel and was topping the charts by 1985. After a string of hits she pursued acting, appearing next to Kevin Costner in the hit film The Bodyguard. She has not released an album since 2002.
Ms Houston admitted on US TV network ABC in 2002 that she had abused drugs but had overcome her problems through prayer. She married Bobby Brown, 37, in 1992. Their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, was born the following year.
