    GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Dionne Warwick has postponed a Valentine's Day concert at a western Pennsylvania theater after the death of her cousin Whitney Houston.

      I don't blame her at all. I would do the same if any of my family died.

      I am truly sad that Whitney passed, she was trying to get it back together, and I truly believe that she was and this was a horrible mistake. I also truly, truly feel so sooooo bad for her daughter, they were so close. I am praying for you Bobi Christina...:(

        just because you did not hear or see a confession WizardKnight, does not mean GOD didn't get one from her when they met in the final place after death.....which o by the way, isn't for you or I to see or judge....shame on you!

      The psychic stuff aside, Dionne Warwick was always under-appreciated. Someone mentioned Walk on By in an earlier post--what a classic. Dionne never had to yell to produce a great song. Like Karen Carpenter, it just flowed like satin.

      Dionne and Burt made one hell of a team back in the 60s.

      As she should have. You can replace a job but you can never replace family or a have a chance to say goodbye to your treasured cousin.

      as a huge whitney fan - I'm taking this loss personally. i can't judge her, I'm human too, only difference between her mistakes and hours is that nobody is following us around with a camera.

      Dionne Warwick is still making music? I thought she was part of that Psychic Friends Network/Cult. RIP Whitney.

      Did you ever see Dionne Warwick on Celebrity Apprentice? She was arrogant, rude and crude. I have read now too, that often Whitney Houston was a strange mixture of defiance and denial in all of her interviews. Maybe this family had some major problems and that contributed to Whitney's demise, along with her marriage to Bobby Brown.

      Now Dionne W. is a class act to postphone her concert. God be with them all in this difficult time.
