Holding a torch for two divas

The Chinese media's entertainment sections have been focusing on the recent sad news of two divas, the African-American singer Whitney Houston and the Taiwan singer Fong Fei-fei.
Houston died of drugs and alcohol on Feb 11, at 48 years old. Fong, 58, passed away because of lung cancer on Jan 3, though the news came out only this week due to Fong's wish not to disturb the Chinese New Year celebrations.
On Chinese online forums and micro blogs, mourners of Houston and Fong are often the same group of people, although the two stars differ greatly in styles and cultural backgrounds.
