Uhhh, dude you saying that you didn't know who Whitney Houston is, is like saying you don't know Michael Jordan is.
Plus, no you couldn't get some random person off the street and have them sing like Whitney...hell, very few people have done a positively memorable American Anthem---one of them was Marvin Gaye...and we all know how he ended...
Whether you don't like her, you cannot underscore her talent.
No, it doesn't affect you...but what I think is this: Luther, Michael, Whitney...whose next...At Least Prince is still kicking it...
But, many of these icons are what the kids of the 80s grew up with...back when music was music...
The only thing close to Whitney now is MJB and Beyonce.
i had heard the name and could tell you she was some sort of celeberty probably an acress or music, but i couldnt tell you for sure or what songs she sang. it is very easy for me to have no idea who the hell she is. i hate that type of jazz michael jackson music, love music, r and b, rap, whatever they call it, it hurts my ears and if someone turned on whitney houston music in my car i would make them change the station because it hurts my ears. i like classic rock, so i would never in 1 million years listen to her music thats how i didn't know who she is, dont know about marvin gay is either, i know about michael jackson because he is a freak looking thing who molests kids but i dont know anything about his music, i know ive heard it and it hurts my ears also. just my taste, i dont watch ET and read people magazine, i prefer a sports illustrated. thats like if andrew luck dies, 100% of twinks in starbucks won't have any idea who he is. but to someone like me who follows college football and the NFL i 100% know who he is. and of course i dont think she is talented because i hate her music and any other RB love songs, its not my taste at all.
