I don't see anything wrong with honoring someone posthumously after ridiculing him/her in life. I mean, what's the point in ridiculing someone who has died? Does anyone deserve to die because of their personal shortcomings? Death allows people to gain a new perspective on life and puts a purifying filter onto the past. In all of the video tributes to Whitney, we see her as she was at her glorious peak, not the erratic performer she had become. And this is as it should be. All is forgiven in death.
