Whitney Houston
Another titan in the music industry has died, seems so strange when the mega stars of your youth pass away. It seems especially sad when they are so massively talented and special to the world. The world has changed in these last 30 years, seems unlikely we will ever see mega stars of the calibre of Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson again.
I think they were born and came to fame just at the point the US was at the height of it’s global power and influence and their fame and talent spread worldwide like wildfire.
‘Stars’ crop up and fade away in month these days and are often little more than karaoke singers that can help peddle some singles maybe an album or two if they can squeeze them out before the public get bored. This dross of current artists just makes the passing of true stars that much sadder for the world.
How far Whitney’s performance at the Super bowl in 1991 was from the clown who no one had heard of that was swearing at the Super bowl 2012.
I hope everyone will play Whitney Houston’s music loud for this week all over the world.
