If Whitney Houston hadn’t tragically passed away in February, what would she be doing now? According to her former manager and sister-in-law, a lot — including touring. “There was a continuation of doing things in her career but doing it her way, because she’d been in the industry for such a very, very long time with a lot of people telling her what she should or should not be doing,” explains Pat. “She was finally doing projects that she wanted to do, and it started with Sparkle.” Read more...
Gail: Hearing that Whitney planned to do things her way in her next projects makes me glad although she's gone. An independent Whitney is what I was seeing all the time.
Elequen sings, I Will Always Love You. She has a good voice for singing and sings I Will Always Love You with her very own voice. Elequen sings Whitney's song her own unique way. She has a pretty voice.
Vivica Fox looks more like the Whitney Houston Biopic. She looks a lot like Whitney in Wigs, dresses, makeup, and has her style. Plus, Vivica has the right acting talent to play Whitney.
Miki Howard: She made it possible for so many others like Alicia Keys......
Miki Howard: Beyonce coming out with her but out; we could never do that.
_______________________
Miki Howard said great things about Whitney. I wish someone could have said the things she said when Whitney was alive. I admire the fact that Whitney didn't dress half naked and shake her behind in the cameras. She was a woman with class. Whitney was not really of the world. Even those that put Whitney down could see that she was special. They just wish that they had what Whitney had. Whitney was wearing the crown. She was a winner and not a looser. People tried to make Whitney feel like she was a looser so that she could be a looser. If only Whitney knew, and I think she did know. Sometimes it hurts when it seems like the whole world is against you no matter what you may have. I think the world was ready for Whitney and accepted her in the beginning. Then a new and young generation came for music like Beyonce. There is one thing that I could see. Whitney never stopped fighting, and it was just time for her to leave us when she did. Whitney still had fans, and her death has brought that out. If people couldn't see that before, they see it now.
Whitney Houston is wearing a beautiful red dress. She always carried a white handkerchief while performing. It always reminded me of what church was like. I remember people carrying handkerchiefs to church. I remember the preacher wiping the sweat from his forehead preaching so hard. Whitney was old school and carried church with her. She never forgot to sing a church song.
As I watched Whitney perform in her red dress holding her handkerchief, the colors of the dress and handkerchief spoke to me biblically.
(Isaiah 1:18)Come now, and let us reason together, said the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Whitney sung: Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found any one who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me.
It is said that when Whitney Houston died, she wanted to see Jesus. People, Jesus is our real role model. People make mistakes, but Christ is perfect. People can let you down, and we can let ourselves down. We are nothing but flesh and blood. Christ is more. Let Jesus Christ be your role model and look up to him. If you do that, you will be headed in the right direction. Christ is the son, and he can lead you to his father which is God. Where is God? God is in heaven.
What is all this talk about the price of fame? Who invented it? When you have fame in God, there is no evil price. Men have a way with words. Fear nothing but God and follow him. You will reap the good that you do. Stay away from Satan and the things that he has to offer. If we don't, then yes, there is a price we have to pay, and it can be a terrible one. If you love God, you can love yourself. You can have some good long years on this earth. The greatest love of all is God. Let him be your everything.
If Whitney Houston could come back, I wish she could come back to visit if not stay. Some of us never got a chance to meet her. I wrote an article about her in 2011, and she died the next year. If she had not died, some of us would have been writing her on Twitter right now. Whitney had started a Twitter page. However, I don't know if she would have kept in touch with her fans on Twitter. Some of us could have said something to help her out. Whitney was into her Bible. I would have loved to have had a long conversation about it on the telephone. I would have given her my phone number and would have talked with her as long as she wanted to talk. What would your wish be? Whitney Houston, we miss you.
If you could have ask a wish from this Gorgeous fairy tale godmother, what would that wish be ???(TH) fb.me/1BA2siZoy

A Whitney Houston fan on Twitter posted a photo of a woman knocking a woman out. In big letters the poster read, Say One More Thing About Whitney Houston!!! When I saw the tweet and the photo, I had to laugh. It was exactly how I felt when Whitney died. People were saying all kinds of things about Whitney. Some people picked and laughed at her death. They had no respect for her. Some people complained that they were tired of hearing about Whitney. Well, I was tired of the disrespect and tired of the people that were throwing stones. Some of the people that were running their mouths were on the verge of being drug addicts, fighting depression, and everything else too. Sometimes I had to bite my tongue to stay away from a big argument.
Whitney looked as if she enjoyed making the music video, Million Dollar Bill. Someone made a club remix of the video. The way it was made is how I see Whitney. I saw Whitney as a woman that could really throw down if she wanted to. She needed someone to write more songs like Million Dollar Bill. There was more in Whitney, but someone needed to help bring it out. I believe that Whitney could dance if someone had taught her. Yet and still, we love what she did do and it was well done.
When Whitney Houston's song, Miracle, was released, it was the year of 1990. That was the year I graduated. Many thought I was a miracle, and I thought others were too. However, I didn't know that some of them were abused and so troubled in life. There are some that smile on the outside, and there are some that are sad on the outside. It's hard to guess what's truly on the inside. Some of my classmates are dead and gone. It's a miracle to be alive. Some people are here and can help each other, and we don't know who is going to leave this world first. We are always apart and too busy in life. Some families could be close, but there is always somebody keeping everybody apart. If you come from a close family, that is also a miracle. If you are able to help someone, you are that person's miracle. If you have a true best friend, that is a miracle. Cherish the good in life that you have because it's a mean world out there.
There were many mornings when I would wave goodbye to my mother standing in the doorway; knowing that someday she might leave me in this world alone. She was my miracle. She watched Whitney Houston with me, and little did I know that she would be another miracle to leave us so soon. Whitney Houston was a miracle that needed love. Fans let her know that they loved her music, appearance, and performance. I wasn't a screaming fan with pictures all over my wall buying every album she made. I wasn't allowed to worship any human being. I was taught that God is a jealous God (Duet.6:15). I just listened to her songs and watched her performed, and it hurt so bad when I found out she was gone. I feel like I love her more than I ever did. When she was alive, I saw her as a star. When she died, I saw the human being and the love she had for her fans. The older you get, the wiser you become. That too is a miracle, and miracles come from God.
It was fun looking back watching Whitney win 8 American Music Awards in one night. She really had a lot going on for herself. Whitney won over Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey back in 1994.
I'll never forget the year of 1993 when I worked at Moen for one summer. There was a girl working on the line with me always singing songs from Whitney's soundtrack, The Bodyguard. The movie was released in 1992. Now I see why Whitney won so many awards. Songs from the Bodyguard were strong, and the girl that worked with me at Moen sung them almost everyday. Her favorite was, I Have Nothing. Whitney's songs from the Bodyguard were played on the radio for a long time. Although the movie was released in 1992, Whitney was just receiving the awards. That's how long her success lasted.
ReRe and Matt sung this song so well. Words cannot express how well they sung it. They performed on Apollo Kids somewhere around 2001. I have heard my mother sing this song a lot when I was a child. I remember my mother and father playing this song by an old gospel group called The Consolers. It was on an old 45 record.ReRe and Matt sung it better than them. It was beautiful when The Consolers sung it. The words touched your soul and you had to listen. It seemed a little sad and slow. It was more like a story and song. However, ReRe and Matt woke you up, and you become alert. They speeded the song up, and you felt like shouting.
Whitney Houston had a praying mother. She prayed for Whitney. I know it for a fact. I saw Whitney's mom on television in the church praying for Whitney when she was in trouble a long time ago. When Whitney first became a star, I saw her mother with a worried look one time. She looked quite nervous. I believe that Miss Cissy Houston prayed for her child every day. That's why I never worried much about Whitney because I knew what a praying mother was. I had one. Every time something knocked Whitney down, she would bounce right back. She did that through out her career.
When I listen to ReRe and Matt singing, "Waiting For My Child To Come Home", I think of Miss Cissy when I hear the lyrics to the song. But now, Miss Cissy doesn't have to worry about Whitney because she know where her child is. Whitney is with the Lord. She's in good hands.
YouTube I was talking to a lady a few days ago, and these are the words she said...if you see my child somewhere as you journey here and there, tell him I'm waiting for my child to come home.
One night after Whitney's death, I went to sleep with her on my mind. I kept seeing her in my dreams. I heard her voice saying, "Don't let anyone trouble you. Go on and lift the Savior up though they are not impressed. Keep on thanking Jesus." The message is a true message. That's why I have posted this video of Whitney Houston. She is singing, Yes Jesus Loves Me.
Whitney Houston sings: I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) / How Will I Know / I Believe In You And Me / I Will Always Love You / My Love Is Your Love at ARISTA RECORDS 25th Anniversary Celebration 2000.
See the trailer of Always Whitney Houstonon Amazon. You can buy the documentary there if you would like to have it on DVD. There have been other documentaries made but cannot find them on DVD. Fans would like to see Whitney's concerts and documentaries added on DVD. Whitney had many great performances, and they would love to have them as memories. Maybe it will happen one day in the future.
There is just something about the song, Let It Be, written by the Beatles and played with the help of Billy Preston. Billy Preston also sung the song in concert. As I think about this song, I think about both Whitney Houston and my mother. My mother and I both dreamed the song on the same night one night while we were sleeping. Little did I know that my mother would someday leave me. God tells me that there is a blessing in her death, but I don't see it now. In order to see, I have to let her death be. When I think about my mother, Whitney, and Billy too, I'm hoping somewhere down the road we will all meet and we will greet. I believe that God took them all at a time or the moment when they were saved.

As I watched Whitney play piano in an inter-view with Diane Sawyer, I saw that she could be a great piano player. As I watch Billy Preston play, I think of Whitney.
According to the Urban Daily, if there is a Whitney Houston movie, Idris Elba may play Bobby Brown. No, I hope not. He doesn't even look like Bobby. Not even a little bit. Idris Elba looks like he should play Whitney's brother. Then the article mentioned Jennifer Hudson or Halle Berry to play Whitney. I certainly hope not. It would be nice to find someone that can act and look just like Whitney. I know that there are at least some look-a-likes out there. Producers are looking at people that are already famous. That's fine, but when it comes to Whitney, there are some women out there living tough lives that can act out the real Whitney. I'm hoping for a look-a-like if a movie is to be made.

James Earl Jones and Diahhan Carroll would be great to play as Whitney's parents. They are strong actors, and I have seen them play. They have been acting for years, and Whitney's parents would be easy for them to play. The way Whitney's parents are described is the role that James and Diahhan has acted out before to me.
