“I don’t understand why her death should be posted here.”
Because she was one of our greatest singing talent in our generation.
Tone deaf folks will never understand this. Hence, they need not bother to comment/reply.
She killed herself with drugs and alcohol and she also ruined her voice. No need to idolize a woman who drove her her of self-destruction into the grave.
Her death WAS sad. “One of the greatest” in our generation? Not hardly, IMO. Taste is subjective. Her national anthem rendition was kinda OK - typically “diva-overdid”, in Houston fashion.
She trashed Dolly’s “I will Always Love You” in the same way “All-4-one” butchered John Michael Montgomery’s beautiful COUNTRY (caps very much intended) ballad, “I Swear”. The REAL thing that irritates me is that some KIDS looked up to her and her lifestyle.
