Whitney Houston Dead At 48. Fellow Divas React To The News Of Her Death On Twitter
How sad is the news of Whitney Houston‘s death! And just a day before the Grammy Awards.
Who hasn’t been touched by her songs? I grew up listening to her, from as early as I Wanna Dance With Somebody to I Will Always Love You to Exhale and beyond. One of my favorite Whitney Houston performances was when she sang Why Does It Hurt So Bad at the 1996 MTV Movie Awards. It was pure raw talent on display and the singing was as much about vocal calisthenics as it was about emotions and feelings. Search for it on YouTube to see what I mean. She will be missed greatly.
Below, Mariah Carey (who sang a duet with Whitney for the movie The Prince of Egypt), Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, Nicki Minaj, Toni Braxton, Christina Aguilera and more react to Whitney Houston’s death on Twitter.
Mariah Carey @MariahCarey: Heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston.
Nicki Minaj @NICKIMINAJ: Jesus Christ, not Whitney Houston. Greatest of all time.
