It seems like most of the people commenting on her music dont really know her full catalog.
She had a gospel album (the Preacher's wife soundtrack) that is the biggest selling gospel album of all time. Her music was not just pop, though she is best known for her love ballads.
Her 1998 album, your love is my love, is very different from those before. Her last album, I look to you, is also different and worthy.
Those who said she was mildly talented need to listen to "One moment in time" at the end and tell me who else had lungs like that!
Whitney could sing! I did not realize how much until she died and I went back and listened critically.
