On Nov.1 2023 during a live at the Baloise Session in Bâle/Swiss Jessie J covered "I have nothing" and then said to the audience that Whitney Houston is the reason why she decided she wanted to be a singer. HUGE influence I'd say.
Here's the source link

Well, here you go. If someone who can edit this page wants to add Jessie J's name to the other ones under "Legacy and influence" do what you will. :) 
Take care everyone.

message: Whitney Houston has clearly stated that her ex-husband was abusive (ex: https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/whitney-houston-discusses-bobby-brown-oprah-winfrey/story?id=8568203), he hit her, spit on her, etc. 
Even rarer, the abuser has himself admitted to hitting her (https://people.com/celebrity/bobby-brown-admits-hitting-whitney-houston-details-couples-drug-usage/).
Can we stop using words like "tumultuous marriage" (volatile marriage, etc) when describing domestic abuse towards women? It denies their reality, and makes them part of the problem. Subconsciously it even makes them the issue in the story: "she had drug abuse and she was in a tumultuous marriage", which implies that she chose to be hit, beaten up and spit on.
It also makes the whole thing almost glamorous and sexy, it's tumultuous, it's passionate. That's how feminicides are still sometimes presented, crimes of passion, while they are not. 
Synonyms of tumultuous are: tempestuous stormy turbulent in turmoil passionate intense
None of these apply to a domestic abuse situation. 
We now know better, victims of domestic abuse can stay decades in abusive relationships for many, many reasons, including society not believing them or helping them. Can we present the facts as they are, she was in an abusive domestic relationship. 
Or, she was in an alleged abusive domestic relationship, if you want to stay as neutral as possible. Zelottine (talk) 13:18, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  "a tumultuous marriage" should not describe a domestic abuse situation  

message: Cause of death is not stated despite being record. “ The Los Angeles County coroner ruled that Houston’s February 11 death was an accidental drowning with the “effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use” as contributing factors.”
