I gotta go with “I Have Nothing” for overall performance.
RIP Whitney. Another sad story of artistic brilliance comes to an end.
It’s sort of strange that it takes a certain type of environment and personality combination to develop an amazing musical artist, but it’s that same combination that is toxic to the artist itself. They’re sort of hand in hand in a strange, tragic way.
There’s no denying that her music and performances were pure soul, and it’s few and far between the artists who can truly match that emotion.
I think it was a Life in Hell comic, maybe… The title/theme is something like “Ways to Die in Hollywood.” Each panel has a happenstance, followed by a pic of a fatal scene. The last two frames have the same picture, but different captions. The penultimate one is “failure.” The last one is “success.”
