The vitriol poured on Whitney for trying to resume her career leaves me speechless - almost! Whitney is being dumped, just like Diana Ross was dumped, not because of a loss of talent but because of problems in her personal life. I'm not comparing Whitney to Diana. Diana has / had a small but undeniably seductive voice. Whitney's voice was and is so big that it knocks people off their seats. People want so much and forget so easily. They forget the joy that Whitney's music has brought into their lives (the biggest selling song of all time) and, I suspect, never stop to think about their own lack of effort to make the world a happier place.

Whitney makes me think of Billy Holiday. Her indescribable talent will only be fully appreciated after she's gone.
