isn't as talented as she is simply because she's so popular and you might be sick of her or whatever
either way, let's not turn this into another Beyonce thread...
and that's your opinion... where did I say she was the end all for tributes?
I happen to think that she is, today, one of the most closely related singers in terms of style to Whitney Houston, considering what we
have to choose from in terms of pop stars these days.
You don't agree, fine, we can end it here so to not derail the thread...

What this thread has become is why I love NT so much. We are all so infatuated with comparisons and eventually forget about the individual.

I'll just speak for myself, and I'm pretty sure others who want a Beyoncé tribute agree with what I'm about to say: I'm not saying a Beyoncé tribute is fitting because she's the most talented. I'm saying, Whitney was an iconic, black, female R&B singer with PIPES. Who else fits that description? Because anyone who fits that description, I would also nominate them for a tribute. That's where I was coming from.Originally Posted by Jetpacunlimited

Your thinking of the relevance of today. Sure the most POPULAR choice would be Beyonce, but what does she have to do with Whitney as the person? They have almost nothing in common is what im saying, why not get someone from that Era of music with more iconic relevance who knew the lady BEHIND the music. Not just Jay Z's wife who NT is so damn obsessed with.
but we are talking about a musical tribute, why does there need to be any other connection?

I kind of feel bad for him...having to live for the rest of your life knowing you indirectly killed her in the back of your mind, cannot be fun

Actually Whitney was more wild than people knew. She introduced him to a different lifestyle. Sad though.

Say your the #1 rapper in the world, and you basically changed the game for EVERY rapper after you. When you pass... who would you want tributing to your memory... The artest who knew you best, work with you the most, or the most popular act of that time? Just a question. and I do agree with you as there is no "need" for a connection.

I don't get why people are blaming him. It's not like Whitney was some non-consenting starry eyed virgin minor when they got together.

Anyways, my preference would be to see Mariah do her Whitney thang but carry on.

Why do people buy into the whole, 'Bobby made her do it" angle? What do we know? Nothing. How do we know it wasn't the other way around? Come on yall.

Bobby Brown has NOTHING to do with this. Why are people saying this? So others are responsible for your bad habits/actions? Yeah ok

Alright, I'm going to break this down real quick, just for the hell of it.
A celebrity dies.
There WILL be:
– people who were diehard fans before the death, never clowned the celebrity, and are now paying respects , feeling sad
– people who were mediocre fans before the death, sometimes clowned the celebrity, and are now paying respects, feeling sad
– people who couldn't care one way or the other about the celebrity, cosigned all the jokes, and are now putting all the jokes aside and just paying respects, kind of sad
– people who couldn't care one way or the other about the celebrity, cosigned all the jokes, and are now fronting like they were a fan before, faking sadness
– people who didn't like the celebrity, always clowned the celebrity, and are now fronting like they were a fan before, faking sadness
Now, how the hell are you going to prove which description fits every person that has something to say about Whitney? You can't, so just say what you got to say about her, and keep it moving. Feel me?
And if, out of respect for her, you wanted to wait a little while and make a thread about who the real fans were, come on, be real. You know damn well you are not going to get any sort of honesty out of that.
Bottom line: there's no way for you to prove which description a person falls under, and we all know that there is a ton of those last 3 descriptions, but why waste your energy trying to prove who's who, when it can't be done?

Come on dude, my comment was obviously a joke. 'Beating himself up now because she's gone...'
