It's not right but it's okay.

That was the name of the song alright. Whitney Houston was the artist. It was 1999 and that was one of her last ever single releases.

It's all gone horribly wrong for her. When I was a kid she was almost like pop music royalty.

She had an incredible voice, was blessed with good looks and a warm personality and there was just no scandal.

Then it all seemed to go terribly wrong.

There's a terrible story on the BBC News website today with pictures of "bargain hunters" coming out of the sale where she, Houston, is selling off her possessions to pay off some bills. Some of the bargains even included her underwear. Right there, that might be "not right and not okay".

Anyway, selling off her clothes, her possessions, Bobby Brown's awards and so on.

How sad is that?

I have commented before about when the mighty fall, and to be honest I still have no sympathy for people who cheat their way to success.

In this case it's just sad to look at what could have been and how her life and her potential was all thrown away.

It's reminiscent of the life of George Best, one of the greatest footballers of all time yet he threw it all away, his talent and everything else.

It's sad when the wheels fall off.
