Back on Twitter, Egyptian Marwa G H draws a comparison to how news of the daily carnage in Syria is being received around the world. She tweets:

@Marwa_G_H ^[1]: everyone is sad & posting about Whintey's death?! 100 people die every day in #Syria - it makes no-one sad. Maybe they should start singing?

Misha Zand, who lives in Cairo, responds:

@MishaZand ^[2]: Thank you! WH has been a process of suicide waiting to happen for almost two decades now! While others fight to survive. #syria

And Fadi Al Qadi adds:

@fqadi ^[3]: either we'ren't informing world properly, or it doesn't want be informed: millions of RIP to Whitney Houston, few for 1000s #Syria victims

Syrian Amal Hanano looks at it from a different perspective, sharing lines from a Houston song:

@AmalHanano ^[4]: “No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity.” #Homs #Syria #favoritewhitneysong

While Dalia Ezzat questions:

@DaliaEzzat_ ^[5]: What is it with the twitter conscience police? Whether people want to tweet about Syria, Greece, or Whitney Houston is their prerogative.

Finally, Qatari diplomat Nasser H Al Khalifa reminds us:

@NasserIbnHamad ^[6]: Whitney Houston passed away and with her part of my generation memory.She had a great voice and deep feelings you can feel listening to her
