The entertainment world was shaken on Saturday night when reports poured in of Whitney Houston’s death at 48-years-old. Regardless of perceptions, no one can dispute her place in music history. With one of the all-time great voices, Houston has so many classics outside of her catalogue of hits that she will live on – especially on shows like “American Idol”, which will pay tribute to her this week.

American Idol Season 11 – Who will win?
Male -105
Female -125
Even the Grammys were overshadowed by Houston’s death, and while Adele’s massive night will never be forgotten, Houston loomed large over the show like a shadow, and many viewers were simply watching and waiting to hear the Academy pay their respects to Houston, who won six Grammys over her career. Jennifer Hudson, who came to prominence on “American Idol” and has since gone on to win many awards in her own right, performed a short and poignant version of “I Will Always Love You”; the Houston version netted two awards for Houston in 1994.
It was also announced during the Grammys by Ryan Seacrest that “American Idol” would also be doing their tribute to the late songstress when the show moves to Hollywood. Meanwhile, Simon Cowell, the creator of “American Idol” and “The X Factor”, said that he attempted to bring Houston on board as a judge for “Factor” and the people on “American Idol” also wanted her to be a part of the show. It just proves how major of an influence Houston was on these shows; you can’t go through one without hearing one of her songs, and no one will ever do them justice. As it did with the Grammys, look for Houston’s shadow to loom over “American Idol” as well.
As one important female voice passes, maybe a new female one will emerge. The odds makers at Bovada Sportsbook are projecting a female winner for Season 11. We’ll get a better idea as the participants are whittled down in the coming weeks.
