Who were the backup singers for Whitney Houston?

Asked by Wiki User

As of January 2009, the four back-up singers for Frankie Valli were: Landon Beard, Todd Fournier, and brothers Brandon and Brian Brigham. I was able to find this information online in a Frankie Valli concert program that is posted here:

However, given that this concert took place over a year ago from when I'm posting this entry, the line-up could be different now -- except that I have seen one of them in recent photos/videos: Landon Beard, who is the blond one if you've been to a concert of late. He is also one of the Four Seasons in the NBC series "Tribute On Ice" episode from 2008 that featured Frankie Valli, which you can find on YouTube here:

Interestingly, the guy performing next to Beard looks a lot like Donny Osmond's son.

Did Whitney Houston die in a tub?

Asked by Wiki User

No, she did not commit suicide. The cause of Whitney Houston's death was finally released on March 22, 2012. After Houston was found dead in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California, there was speculation that drugs had played a role in her death. The official autopsy and toxicology reports, issued by the Los Angeles County Coroner, show that the causes of Whitney Houston's death were drowning and the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use."

Did Whitney Houston pay Bobby Brown alimony?

Asked by Wiki User

While the will and its provisions have not been fully given to the press, I would be surprised if Bobby Brown were left anything much, given that their marriage was difficult and ended in divorce amidst allegations that he beat her.

What did the casket look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the United States, an 1800s wooden casket looked either like a rectangular box or like a hexagonal shaped British coffin (narrow at the foot end, wide at the shoulders and medium wide at the head end). In the middle of the 19th century, luxury wooden caskets were more and more replaced by the Fisk cast iron casket, which was invented by Almond Dunbar Fisk in 1848 and patented in 1853. This hermetically sealed casket had the mummy like shape of an Egyptian Sarcophagus and was equipped with a glass window. In spite of the fact that the price of the Fisk casket was about twenty times higher than that of a wooden coffin, there was a big demand for it because the casket seemed to offer some protection against grave robbers. Former US Vice President John C. Calhoun was buried in a Fisk coffin, the first metal casket to receive a widespread acceptance and use in the US. Then, in 1855, Martin Crane (one of the founders of the famous Crane and Breed casket company of Cincinnati, Ohio) invented a more simple and lower priced cast iron casket with a slight hexagonal shape, a black cloth over the metal and silver finished handles. This casket, which also was used for the burial of President Lincoln, gradually replaced the Fisk casket. Finally, at the end of the 1860s, Martin Crane invented a casket welded from sheets of wrought steel, the first mass produced metal casket in the US. These reasonably priced metal caskets usually had a rectangular shape.

a coffin has six sides, forming an oblong hexagon that conforms more closely to the shape of a human body, which is widest at the shoulders. Funeral director Norayne L. McCreery notes that in the United States, you will chiefly see them in old movies. Caskets, which are standard in modern-day American funerals, are rectangular.

When Whitney Houston was alive was she married with Bobbie Brown?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Although their marriage ended in divorce, there was probably still some affection, largely because they had a child together. Even with the drug problems in the marriage, there is considerable evidence that they both loved their daughter and wanted the best for her. But it is doubtful that Whitney wanted to get back together with Bobby, since he was accused of beating her and he also was said to have a relationship with another woman. Whitney and Bobby may have at one time loved each other, but they seemed to have a very destructive relationship, where they brought out the worst in each other. That was why they did not get back together, even if there was still some small amount of affection between them.

What outfit did Whitney Houston get buried in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are unauthorized tabloid photos which claim she was wearing a beautiful dress and expensive jewelry, but there is no way to verify if that is true or if the photos were digitally altered. The casket was heavily guarded, and it remained closed during the funeral service. Her family made no statements about how she looked in the coffin.

Normally, celebrities are buried according to the wishes of their family. In some cases, they are dressed up to remember their glamorous life; while in others, they are buried in a simple white shroud.

How would you describe Whitney Houston?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Allison Samuels The most-talked-about celebrity at Oscar 2000 was the one who didn't show up: Whitney Houston. The superstar had been scheduled to perform, but she was replaced by Faith Hill after what many observers described as bizarre conduct at a rehearsal. According to people who were there, the 36-year-old singer seemed to be in her own world, humming tunes (not the ones being practiced) and playing an invisible keyboard as she walked around in circles. "As soon as you saw her, you knew she was completely out of it, and you knew that she was scared to death about it," says a source in Whitney's camp. "It was quite sad." * http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Whitney+Houston&tid=relatedclOther sites: Grammy-winning diva Whitney Houston is selling off hundreds of stage outfits and accessories, including intimate undergarments, at an Irvington, New Jersey, auction next Tuesday that could bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in welcome cash, the New York Post's Page Six reports.

Is it true that Shemar Moore dated Whitney Houston?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the National Enquirer, Whitney Houston had at one point been involved with Shemar Moore; on the other hand, tabloids are not always the most reliable source for information about an artist's personal life. However, we do know that at the time of her death, Houston had been dating R&B musician Ray J.
