celebrities and entertainers react to whitney's death. (a collection of quotes)

Some of my favorites from the collection:

“Whitney was the reason many of us do what we do.” - Pink.

“Without a doubt, her voice, for me, and for the world, was the gold standard. She had it all, she broke all barriers.” - Tommy Mottola, former chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment. 

“She had everything, beauty, a magnificent voice. How sad her gifts could not bring her the same happiness they brought us.” - Barbra Streisand.

“As a spokesperson for the Academy, the industry, I guess I would sum it up by saying: there’s only one Whitney Houston. There will probably never ever be another.” - Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the Recording Academy.
