I have to begin by saying that Houston was an innovative artist, however she is not worthy of the amount of sadness and morning going on around the world. The fact is, she has been a train wreck for twenty years. she has struggled with addiction and has given nothing back to society.
What is truley sad is that good people who give back to society die every day. These people are not celebrated by the world and wealthy people and world leaders almost never reach out when a not so well known activist dies.
The bottom line is that Houston was a talented singer but she has done little for the world we live in. Community activist and other good people die every day with no outreach. This is the only reason why I feel grief today.
Sorry I forgot, this post is a response to one on the F-Bomb.

I don't know if you know this but Whitney Houston donated like a ton of money when she was alive. When she sang the national anthem, she donated all of the that money away to charity. She has also paid for several surgeries that has saved people's lives. She genuinely cared about other people. i was listening to the radio the other day and well I think that she just wanted to be shown the same love that she showed everybody else.
