Some might not think her passing away is a big deal.
I think of her of like when Elvis died.
Both were in the bathroom found dead, both were taking pills, both were struggling in their career when they died.
A bio on her:
Her list of awards includes two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 22 American Music Awards, among a total of 415 career awards as of 2010. Houston was also one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide. In 2009, the Guinness World Records cited her as the most-awarded female act of all time.
