Unfortunately, we will be subjected to it again - and even worse, every time some news or entertainment program is on the tube - it will be belted out by its new standard bearer, Jennifer Hudson. Surely for all the tragedy of her final years, she could be remembered for something better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25620415.post-55254776865384761422012-02-13T18:50:37.227-05:002012-02-13T18:50:37.227-05:00It seems as though forever, our brightest stars wi...It seems as though forever, our brightest stars will supernova the quickest.

I am 41, and I know some who are older will probably throw out some names that I have seen (or at least not in their prime) whom they feel are better. I can only go by what I have seen and heard. There are many great singers out there now, but Whitney is still in her own class. She made the difficult look effortless. No strain or stress in her face, just clean pure beautiful precise notes.Jeff P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25620415.post-67009539257977928262012-02-13T13:44:01.194-05:002012-02-13T13:44:01.194-05:00Her rendition of the national anthem is still the ...Her rendition of the national anthem is still the standard by which all others are measured and I doubt many have gotten close (Marvin Gaye is in the conversation as well).
