    The world cannot even understand how earth shattering this loss is. So much to be said, but the heartbreak is overwhelming at the moment.

    I'm totally sadden by this news. I grew up with her music. I'm 25 and always thought of her as one of the greatest voices in R&B and music in general. We lost a legend.
