Whitney Houston Empower and Black Power

YouTube

Most of the time when I think of Whitney Houston, I think of the word Empower. In one of her music videos, she sings words mentioning she learned from the best. She sang with great authority and was very confident. I saw Whitney as a very strong singer and person.

With so much going on in the world right now today from Corona virus to racial problems to protesting and death, I still think of Whitney when I tune in into the music world. I see a great deal of black power when I look at photos and videos of Whitney now for sure. I saw a strong black woman from Newark going through a lot right before my eyes. There were things I didn't know that I saw, and there were things I didn't know that Whitney was going through. We didn't see the whole picture.The truth was in Whitney and her life. Not in the tabloids and what the world had to say about her. Whitney must speak for herself. Her life did some speaking, but only God knows all details.

What I heard happened to Whitney can happen to any of us. Look at the world today. We don't know what we'll have to face. We don't know what might drive us to do something wrong. Whitney died at the age of 48. Those of us that are still young in our 20's and 30's will be blessed if we get her age. We'll be blessed to make it to a career. If we do, like Whitney had done, we should always thank God. I thank God for sharing Whitney with us in music and how she empowered some of us as a woman with black power.

The Children Are The Future

Wikipedia.org

Good evening Whitney Houston fans and anyone else that may be listening. Something pointed out to me that the song "Greatest Love of All" was a very good song. I had heard it before from George Benson back in 1977, but when Whitney Houston sang it in the 80's, I didn't recognize the song because I heard George and his version of it maybe once or twice. By then, I had forgotten about it. 


Whitney's first line singing the song was, I believe the children are our future. People, you've got to believe in your children. There was a woman in the Bible name Sherah who built 3 cities. You'll find that in 1 Chronicles chapter 7 verse 24. In our world today, people look at the gender a lot, but whether you are male or female, God will use you. the Bible lets us know who we are. Children grew up in the Bible and became great. They were not just born to be born. The children are the future. Don't put them down. Encourage them. Whitney Houston singing The Greatest Love of All is something we ought to remember and keep in mind. You know Whitney became great herself, and she probably had other abilities that she didn't know she had. People ask you how did you do so and so. Just know that things come from God.

No Matter What the World May Say, My Feelings Don't Change About Whitney

WIkipedia.org

People write books about Whitney Houston, and they tell you about the Whitney they knew. Yea, I read them. I read her mom's book, her friend BeBe Winans's book, and a little bit of Robyn Crawford's book. Maybe they all felt that we needed to know more about Whitney Houston the human being. Well, I already knew that Whitney was a human being, but I didn't have her soul, and I didn't know what she was going through. I didn't know what was truly bothering her and what led her to her mistakes. But I can tell you this, I forgive her, because I know I'm no better than she. Like her, I'm a human being that was brought up in the word of the Lord, and I'm not perfect either. Parents make mistakes some too in raising us and we should forgive them. None of us are without fault, and we are all born in sin. Only Jesus Christ was not born in sin and according to him, there is none good but God. 

Mark 10:18  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Jesus also mentioned that the father was greater. St. John 14:28 ..for my father is greater than I.

Movies and documentaries are being made about Whitney. Everybody is giving their opinion and writing stories. All that is fine for those that loved Whitney's music and are her biggest fans. Some of us that are fans have every picture of her on the wall, every album that she ever made, and every movie that she ever made. But not all fans are the same. I don't have any of her pictures on the wall. It wasn't allowed, and to be honest, I don't have her albums, but I have recorded her videos in the past when I learned what a VCR was. I was raised not to put a celebrity above God and not everybody has been raised that way. However, like any other fan, I loved hearing Whitney Houston sing. So I'm no different there. There is nothing wrong with that. I loved watching her videos. I always wanted to meet her, and I never cared much about what was going on in her personal life and the gossip about her dealing with problems in my own life. I was talked about too. I just wasn't known all over the world like Whitney.

No matter what the world may say about Whitney Houston, my feelings don't change about her. I love Whitney Houston, and I hope to see her one day in heaven. 

Whitney Within

It was the year of 2012 when I created a blog. It was a blog about Whitney Houston. I named it Whitney Within. I didn't name it Whitney Within because of singing. I named it Whitney Within because of feeling. There were things inside of me that I felt. There was something guiding me along and letting me know that Whitney was really a decent person. I looked at her from the very beginning of her career. I feel the guide is a simple gift. Something tells me that Whitney did make some mistakes. Don't we all? Something also tells me that she was very powerful, and there was a lot of envying going on. I was told to look at what I saw. I feel that was the Spirit of God talking with me. I heard him say, "Don't worry about Whitney's death."

Many times I would listen to Whitney Houston sing. She could sing with a loud shout. Whitney would do the kind of things in singing that gospel singers do. One day I tried singing in that shouting voice incorrectly and discovered that Whitney's high note wasn't my high note. Somehow I felt Whitney Houston saying, "You have strength. Stay with you." To be honest, I don't feel the spirit of shouting when I sing. I feel something else. What God gave to Whitney Houston, God gave to Whitney Houston.

As I study the Bible, God talks with me about things like raising the dead. I don't know whether or not God intended for Whitney Houston to die. Right now, she's resting. I feel in God that it's only the beginning. Sometimes I feel a mystery. 

St. John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” 

It feels like Whitney Houston never left. I'm Gail Nobles, and this is my story, "Whitney Within".

Candace Singing With Whitney Houston

From YouTube

To me, Candace has a great voice. She was so excited about Whitney Houston that she was sometimes off key. Candace was not concentrating on her singing looking up to Whitney so much. Whitney knew Candace could sing and was so into her singing. When Candace would stop to talk, Whitney would hold her head wishing that Candace would sing. Candace was an excited fan with a big voice. Whitney had a lot of heart for her fans. Candace might would have had a chance to be a singer, but she was just too excited. She saw and heard Whitney and was overlooking herself. Whitney was trying to give Candace a chance because Whitney knew her fans had something too. Whitney made room for others.

Whitney Mentoring Contestants

From YouTube

Whitney was a great voice mentor on singing. Those contestants she mentored had a lot of guts to sing in front of her and Clive Davis. I never would have done it unless it was my own song. If you can sing your own songs, people listen more for your voice instead of somebody else's voice. Whitney was a little tough with one contestant that sung one of her songs. He didn't do too bad. Whitney let another contestant know that he had to know what he was doing to sing an Aretha Franklin song. That's why Whitney and Clive never would have heard me sing if it had to be a song by someone else.



Regardless of how many times Whitney lost her voice, it did not affect the knowledge that she had on singing. She could have helped others to do big things if she had retired from singing. It is said Whitney had her own management company named Nippy Inc. She probably knew enough to be her own producer and promoter. With all of the hardships Whitney had, seeing the gossip written about her on front pages, she was still walking around wearing the crown. I don't know how much she knew about that. She was making a come back and was doing so well. I just wish that Whitney had never went to that old Clive Davis Party. If it had been up to me, if I were Whitney's friend, the party would have been at her house with family love and care.
