The digital media is wonderful for countless reasons. But is anything sacred? Whitney Houstons funeral service on Saturday will be streamed online.
New Hope Baptist Church in Newark will host a single camera inside the building to capture the funeral service for the world to see. Close members of Houstons family and friends circle will be subjected to sharing their grief with strangers. Three words for this, wrong and broken. It is all very well to give fans that did not know her an opportunity to feel like they are a part of the service, however this sentiment may have been better served by a memorial service post funeral as in the case of Michael Jackson. The point is, fans and gawkers were not close to the person, they may have loved her music or believed fanatically that they knew her personally but at the end of the day the service should be left private for those that loved and knew her best.
In the meantime subpoenas have been issued for Houstons medical records. Officers investigating her death were prompted to do so with the discovery of prescription medication found in her hotel room.
