Is Whitney Houston indirectly responsible for garbage TV shows like X Factor and the current crop of singers?

Lets face it, she is without question the most influential female solo artist of the last 20 years. She in effect created the "Pop music diva" title and made it possible for female solo artists to be megastars. Mariah Carey said that Whitney paved the way for all female solo artists in the 90s and 2000s. Whitney in effect started the solo diva thing. Her songs are always very popular on these reality Tv shows like American Idol and X Factor. It has been said many time that without Whitney, more than half this current generation of female singers wouldn''t be singing. Whitney had a great voice, but the way she used that voice wasn't great and she had so many bad songs. Female solo artists that idolised her, continued the trend of putting out bad records. I blame Whitney Houston for destroying music. If Whitney hadn't been born, then we wouldn't have to put with people like Mariah, Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara, X Factor, American Idol and all this other garbage.
