I haven't even signed in in a million years but I was HEARTBROKEN when I found out. Whitney's whole career was during my lifetime. She epitomized my childhood. She's the one I remember watching on TV, she was tall, perfect smile, poised, her speaking voice was soothing, she was gorgeous and of course, the singing unparalleled. She was America's Sweetheart, she was regal and spunky and I was 8 years old and didn't know what it meant to be 'Every Woman' but I knew every word to that soundtrack. As many jokes as people made about her, I feel like people were genuinely rooting for her to come back. And God, the tragedy is in the cliche of it all that has everyone lamenting 'Oh, Whitney'. I haven't been this touched by a celebrity death since Shari Lewis when I was 9. I guess everyone has that one.
