Selena and Aaliyah would’ve had massive careers if their lives weren’t tragically cut short…especially Selena. She was finally realizing her dream of crossing over into the Top 40 English Pop market when she was brutally murdered. May all of these talented women rest in power 🙏 🕊

Aaliyah was struck down in her prime, as was Selena. They'd have gone on to have long successful careers, if not for their untimely deaths.😭💔

[olvialee]

Whitney Houston isn’t just a legend, she is The Voice!

Her movie The Bodyguard became a musical with her iconic songs and I love it! Even saw a poster that there’s going to be a a movie about her

[Khryssi]

The fact that Aaliyah’s death was so preventable hurts 😭😭

Not everybody realizes how much of a drummer Karen Carpenter was. Her voice shines and breaks hearts, but when she got behind a drum kit she was amazing

[joheljimenez]

It's a shame that all these female artists died way too soon. They'll be missed and always be remembered for their music and movies R.I.P miss you, Selena

[packnetadaija]

Man I’m ready to cry because so many of these artists are so iconic like Selena, Aaliyah, and Amy Winehouse.

It’s been 6 years and I still mourn Christina Grimmie.

I will never get over Aaliyah's death And I feel the same way about Selena ... They were truly one of a kind, their personality was lively .... Their talent was incomparable and they were both very admirable especially for young girls .. no matter how much success they achieved in their prime both of them were so grounded and humble ... The world was robbed.... God blessed us with two beautiful angles and I will be forever thankful for that.... Rest in peace to all of the young female artists in this list 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Can't believe it's been 10 years since whitney died😭

[shoddypockets]

Amy Winehouse was the definition of unique God given talent. What a loss she is for us and the industry. She would have made artistic history x

[BooMamaDrama]

So many incredible, iconic female artists gone too soon. But as long as the music is kept alive, they will always be remembered for years to come. Great music never dies.

Whitney will forever live in our hearts! We really miss you Queen of Vocals!

[zakirstocks]

Aaliyah and Whitney Houston still have my Condolences and Respect Through the Years, not to mention Christina Grimmie. I'll miss them all SO much! I'll never forget their Wonderful Musics and Songs! 🙏📿🛐😭😭

[Margann]

The fact that Whitney was pregnant with Bobbi Kristina during the filming of the video for "I Will Always Love You, " and now they are both gone, is just heartbreaking. 😭

[rosajessica]

Selena, Aaliyah, Lisa “Left 👁” Lopez of TLC and Whitney Houston were my inspirations and Christina Grimme was so young! They didn’t deserve to die!

[thawabalh]

Aaliyah is one of my favorite artists and she had some classic songs in her catalogue like One In a Million, Rock the Boat, and More Than a Woman

[mattmc]

Whitney's voice is beautiful. "I will always love you" always brought little tears to my eyes, so powerful and full of emotion. Now it makes me wanna tear up more now that she's not with us anymore. You feel that music in your soul and it plays your heart strings.

[gerardgarcia]

I still miss Left Eye

also, I can’t believe Christina Grimmie died, how could someone kill her?!

May Aaliyah and Whitney Houston rest in peace. 🕊
