Whitney Houston?

[SamRoc]

I was listening the the radio yesterday (David Lee Roth in Howard Sterns old time slot) and he kept saying how Whitney Houston had "jumped" At first I thought she had an accident, having missed the first part of the broadcast. What exactly is going on with Whitney Houston these days? My dd loves her voice.

i'm guessing he means as in jumped the shark

All I know is that on her reality show, Being Bobby Brown, she does not come across as being as classy as I thought she was.

She started living the life of her husband, or at least it became more obvious that she was.

Ok I'm lost Please explain that phrase

She's nuts

I hate to admit that I caught a couple of episodes of their reality show. I think she came off looking worse than he did.

I didn't hear it but I'd assume 'jumped' means jumped the shark. See http://www.jumptheshark.com/ for more info on that.

By a lot of accounts Whitney was always kinda trashy, she just had really good marketing and pr.

crossed over into non-popularity, nobody cares anymore
taken from when Fonzie jumped over the shark on Happy Days. There is a web site devoted to shows/folks who've jumped

Ok - I understand now! Thanks!

God, I know I am getting old (I'm only 33 by the way) when I have to have phrases explained to me

"Jumped the shark." is used to describe when someone/something ahs gone over the edge and lost it's greatness. It's based on the Happy Days episode where Fonzi is waterskiing and jumps over a shark. Alot of people feel that's the moment that the show just went over the top and fell.

She is a drug addicted, trashy, mean, & scary person. I wish she would clean herself up.

I will admit to watching "Being Bobby Brown" sometimes.... and the things she says just make my jaw drop.

She walks around in a fog, it is a shame.

I believe she's "jumped" off the wagon and is back on the drugs and alcohol. What a waste of talent.
