Flowers and a card are seen left as a memorial to deceased singer Whitney Houston, in front of the New Hope Baptist Church, where she sang in the choir, in Newark, New Jersey February 12, 2012. Houston, whose soaring voice lifted her to the top of the pop music world but whose personal decline was fueled by years of drug use, died on Saturday afternoon in a Beverly Hills hotel room. She was 48. REUTERS/Adam Hunger (UNITED STATES - Tags: ENTERTAINMENT OBITUARY)
