I did know one or two of her songs but was not a fan at all.

Was he a genius in the sense of Einstein?. No. But in artistic terms, yes.
Ms Houston was a talented singer, but this and Jackson’s death are on another level. Its all about not only the body of work, but the influence they had. In Bowie’s case, that was both cultural and musical/artistic.
RE Genius:
I just enjoyed his music.
Einstein was a Genius.
Bowie was a damned good musician with a lot of talent.
Bout sums it up for me... :^)
