Why should I celebrate her life....she did what for me personally? American Idiol Nation.........is what killed her......$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ they spent.....so she could partay........
 
Good point! Are you a moderator or post police? Maybe war on drugs vs treatment. Or how about news story that turns into how 'Hollywood types' not being able to handle fame vs a social disease?

There was three decades where a pop group knocked off seven #1 hits in a row.

1960's ... the Beatles did it.
1970's ... the BeeGees did it.
1980's ... yep, Whitney did that too.
 
For me; she made me smile, wish I could sing 'for I will always love you...' and I'm a straight guy! She defined a segment of my life at college.
But If I hunted alligators I probably would feel like you....?
