This is her first nomination. Fans will have to wait until January to see if Whitney was successfully inducted. Some people are mad that she was nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, saying she’s not “Rock & Roll.” Those haters can stay mad and eat rocks, while she gets her SPOT.
Vote here.
ARGHH when the F is #RageAgainstTheMachine going to be inducted in to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame? I love Whitney but she was NOT rock! Nor was Rufus!! 🙄#RockHall2020 https://t.co/OUeu3Kl6dj— ThatGirlAtTheParty (@tgatp) October 15, 2019
My point which is being missed by many on this post is that Thin Lizzy should be in the hall already...BEFORE Donna Summer, Whitney Houston & Janet Jackson.— Jimijams (@Jimi_Jammin) October 15, 2019
I am not diminishing the talent of any of them, but Thin Lizzy is rock & roll, the others are not.
This ballot is better than previous years but Notorious BIG and Whitney Houston should not have been nominated. Whitney was a Pop Star and Notorious BIG was a Rapper. This is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame not the Pop, Rap and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.— Ethan (@EthanSVG) October 15, 2019
Isn't it time they hust changed the name from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to the Music Hall of Fame?— MiddleC (@MiddleC15) October 15, 2019
Whitney Houston & many rap & R&B artists definitely deserve a spot in a MUSIC Hall of Fame just not in a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.#MusicHallofFame#ChangeTheName
Whitney’s not rock & roll. Notorious B.I.G.’s not rock & roll. (Isn’t it “rock ‘n roll?)— BarbaraSam (@BSam2424) October 15, 2019
I just don't get it.— Jimijams (@Jimi_Jammin) October 15, 2019
How is Whitney Houston (Or Janet Jackson & Donna Summer) considered rock & roll?
Not diminishing their talents, but rock they are not.
Please get over yourself. There's countless people inducted in the Hall of Fame who didn't play or contribute to specifically Rock & Roll. Interesting you pointed out BIG and Whitney Houston as not rock but want to include Daft Punk and Rufus???— Coop (@Whatevaville) October 15, 2019
