Whitney Houston Funeral: Live Twitter Reaction
Written by Chris Crum

The funeral service of Whitney Houston, who was found dead a week ago, will begin at 12:00PM Eastern today (Saturday), and it is being streamed live online. If you wish to watch the service itself, go here. It’s also being broadcast on CNN on TV, if you want to keep it here.

We’ll be providing live tweets of note below. Refresh throughout.

Whitney, while often victim of a great deal of negative press in her later years, mostly due to drugs, was still a widely respected singer with a huge fan base, and will always be remembered by those who lived through the 80s and early 90s, for her voice above all else. This much was made clear during the Grammys last weekend.

The speaker list will reportedly include: Kevin Costner, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keyes, Aretha Franklin, R. Kelly, and Dionne Warwick, among others.

We’ll start putting newer tweets at the top…

They’re now taking the casket away, playing “I Will Always Love You”. We’ll leave it there.
