Whitney Houston is one of the worst things to happen to popular music
She reigns as the most revolting pop singer of the last 50 years. Her influence over modern pop singing has had a horrid result where “good” singing now means high octane, overzealous vocal. Her discography is somehow worse than her singing.
I think it is because she was quite stupid, even more so than most entertainers. I don’t think she fully comprehended anything she sang and obviously didn’t have the mental capacity to create art. Even Celine Dion managed nuisance and depth with her French work.
It is no surprise her legacy doesn’t endure with Gen Z beyond her junkie antics in the 2000s.
She should have kissed the ground Dolly Parton walked on for being allowed to sing her songs.

What’s wrong with this post title?
I wanted to make a history post about a forgotten black actress from the 1970s on popular sub for black Reddit users. Everything stated in the title is fact they can be found online.
Does this title come across as trolling?:
Long forgotten singer & actress Teresa Graves saw a fast rise to fame in the early 1970s. By 1974, she was the second black woman to lead an American television show in a non-stereotypical role. Despite her success, she quit Hollywood after becoming a Jehovah Witness. She died in a fire in 2002.

Between Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse, who would win in a crack smoking competition?
For the win?
Why did Whitney Houston die in such a dumb way?
