[quote=Anonymous]Different celebrities affect different people to a greater or lesser degree.  When Princess Diana died (ok, for you standards specific people, why is the ex-wife of a Prince entitled to the royal treatment?  The Queen stripped her of her title in the divorce), I didn't get the mass grief, although I did watch the funera.  One thing the British Royal Family is really good at is putting on beautiful ceremonies.

I also didn't get amny other episodes of mass grief we have had.  Whitney Houston did not affect me that much.  I also think her decline is very sad and that she did have an amazing voive.  If youa re not clear on this, listen to Jennifer Hudson's tribute to her at the Grammy Awards and then Whitney's version of the same song.  Hudson was very, very good, but Whitney blows her out of the water.  Still, I won't be spending much time thinking about this or mourning her.

But Michael Jackson?  That brought me to my knees.  First and only time I fell for mass grief.  It wasn't just about his music, either.  He also holds the Guiness Book of World Records title for most charitable giving by a celebrity, and much of his music was about making the world a better place.  (And to the pedophile PP, have you actually read the trial transcripts?  Or do you take your "facts" from the National Enquirer.  The jury didn't get it wrong, and they actually heard the evidence.)

Let the Whitney people have their moment.  Many of them feel just as strongly about Whitney for their own reasons as I did about Michael.  If you re sick of it, watch something else.[/quote]
