bhchao 24 Report post Posted February 12, 2012 I am shocked. Any fans of Whitney here? I know her personal life was a mess, that she married the wrong man, and that drugs destroyed her voice and career. But there's no denying that she had a great voice and singing ability that could inspire. The same can be said of Michael Jackson. Why do these great talents die so young? During the 80s, I remember listening to her Greatest Love of All so many times on the radio. I am very old school Some of her biggest hits from the 1980s: http://www.youtube.c...wK9XtPBI]Saving All My Love For You[/url] at Once[/url] ]I Wanna Dance with Somebody[/url]One Moment in Time Her hits from the 1990s: http://www.youtube.c...v=8QaI-M9sxW4]I Will Always Love You[/url] Have Nothing[/url] Every Woman[/url]http://www.youtube.c...h9rCobRl-ng]Run To You[/url] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skylee 1,912 Report post Posted February 13, 2012 Many people with great talents live / lived a long life - Stephen Hawking, Michaelangelo, etc. As many as those who died young I guess. It is just that people tend to remember those who died young better. Perhaps we can't generalise too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wushijiao 162 Report post Posted February 13, 2012 I was fairly shocked to hear of her death, and remarkably saddened (even though I wouldn't consider myself a fan). I guess her songs reminded me a lot of random times growing up. Her version of the National Anthem is probably my favorite of all time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
