One of the greatest voices, icons, and women of the last few decades, Whitney Houston, died this past weekend. It’s impossible to deny Houston’s influence in all corners of the world and so many aspects of media, from music to movies and fashion. I don’t know anyone who didn’t get chills the first time they heard “I Will Always Love You” or “I Have Nothing,” and I don’t have exact numbers, but I’m sure those songs have been covered more in karaoke and on American Idol than most others. Jennifer Hudson offered this great tribute to the stunning Whitney at the Grammy Awards Sunday, and as for me, I’m paying tribute by watching the star do what she did best – sing and perform.
