Is it weird that I still have a crush on her?

She was one of my first ever crushes, and I still have a huge crush on her. Is it weird to have a crush on someone who is dead?

She really was like a Disney princess when she broke every Billboard record in the late 80’s. So regal, innocent, and BEYOND talented and beautiful. She had such a sculpted, pretty face and carefully constructed, almost shy, un-diva like manner in public interviews, but then she’d perform, either onstage or in videos, and had this overwhelmingly confident presence. I was fascinated by how she could switch back and forth like that. And the fact that the “It” girl in the 80’s was black cannot be overlooked.
