God Gave Me A Voice - Words of Whitney Houston

The accuser had to discredit her in some kind of way. He wanted to harm her good reputation. He couldn’t stand her because she had everything he once had and lost it. The accuser wanted to silence her, but Whitney kept on singing. She sang the gospel too. Read More

Oprah Winfrey's Interview With Whitney - I Still Listen

 

YouTube

  It's hard to let go wondering what really happened to Whitney Houston. I felt like something was going to happen to Whitney, but I wasn't expecting death. I felt it strong in 2001 after loosing my mom. Then the R&B singer Aaliyah died that year. After that, I kind of lost interest in music some, and I didn't keep up with the news much. 

Around 2010 or 2011, I searched to see if Whitney was on social media. I found a Twitter account that really might have been Whitney. With doubt, I wanted to write her. Superstars get busy, and they don't write back no how, I thought. I wasn't quite sure if it was Whitney. By the time I made up my mind to write, Whitney was gone with the Lord. The truth is, I cared about Whitney Houston as a human being. I still care. 

Today I still watch Oprah Winfrey's interview with Whitney. I'm still listening to the interview. Whitney was a church person, and she knew she had something to do. She just wasn't sure what and was not guided like many of us. Some of us don't even know that we are being called by God.  I think Whitney still helped a lot of people just by singing and God allowed it. Whitney showed us the true way of music altogether. She was a decent singer singing decent songs. Whitney sang both gospel and R&B. She was old fashioned. I don't think God was upset with her music and songs about love, but I'm sure he wasn't pleased with the things that was going on in her life. The Bible said that God's people are peculiar people (1 Peter 2:9).

I believe Whitney was a good person, and if she truly had a heart for God, he saw that. He looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7). There are things about Whitney we cannot see and that we do not know. But the Lord knows, and he understands. There were things that bothered Whitney, and she probably didn't even know why some things happened in her life. Some things may not have been her fault. I think she understood better as she got older. The Bible said we would have tribulations (St. John 16:33).

 

Cissy Houston - Your Song Topic

Wikipedia.org

      Hello! Today I’m going to talk about Whitney Houston’s mom on the Whitney Soul Podcast. Ms. Cissy Houston you know was the mom of Whitney Houston. She taught Whitney how to sing. Sounds like Ms. Houston took some time out for Whitney and taught her how to do a good thing.

Whitney Houston’s mom was also a singer. There is one song I heard her mom sing on record the other day that put tears in my eyes. It was Elton John’s “Your Song”. You might be more familiar with the way Elton John sings it.

It's a little bit funny

This feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money, but boy if I did

I'd buy a big house where we both could live ...

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in the words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

But , you know Ms. Houston had her way of singing it. She had a church style way of singing it. I can’t sing it the way Ms. Houston sings it, and I can’t play it the way the musicians play it, but it goes something like this to give you an idea. 

(Singing)

That’s just an example without playing and singing note for note the way Ms. Houston did. Later on in the song, the choir would come in and back Ms. Houston up. 

(Singing)

Ms. Emily "Cissy” Houston is a great American soul and gospel singer. After a successful career singing backup for such artists as Roy Hamilton, Dionne Warwick, Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin, Ms. Houston embarked on a solo career, winning two Grammy Awards for her work. Ms. Houston is the mother of singer Whitney Houston, grandmother of Bobbi Kristina Brown, aunt of singers Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick.

Cissy Houston’s soul cover version of Elton John’s “Your Song” is on her 2nd studio album "Cissy Houston” released in 1977. I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to the Whitney Soul Podcast. …..

Whitney Houston - It Was In God's Plan

God knows best. Yes, it was in God's plan. It was in God's plan. Whitney Houston asked her music director Rickey Minor about changing the National Anthem in a way that words could linger. Whitney performed the National Anthem like no one else did before. I believe that God was with her there. It was God that gave Whitney Houston her great singing talent. 

 Rickey Minor the director, Clive Davis the producer, Whitney Houston the singer, and God is so much more. When the crowd booed Whitney Houston at the Soul Train Awards, I knew that she was God's child. I asked God about it, and he said, "She was a wealthy woman."

      

Wealth can mean a lot of things in the Lord. Everything we have is a gift from God. Whitney had money, but she also had gifts and talents and maybe some hidden abilities too. Maybe she had things she didn't know she had. Maybe she could do some things she didn't know she could do. 

 Although Whitney Houston had trials, I'm glad that she knew the Lord, and that she was seeking him. It's not easy in the spotlight of the world. 

Whitney had fame and fortune, but all the glory and the honor and the praise belongs to God. We can't out live him, and we can't live without him. 

 Whitney said before she left us, "I'm gonna go see Jesus." 

Yes, it was in God's plan. It was in God's plan Whitney Houston - It Was In God's Plan © 2021 by Gail Nobles. You're listening to a Whitney Soul Podcast.

Whitney Houston - The Boss

Transcript: Coming up next, Today's Topic: Whitney Houston - The Boss

Do you remember the Classic Whitney concert from 1997 when Whitney Houston gave tribute to Diana Ross? I bet Mrs. Ross the Boss was proud of Whitney. ... (Singing) Y'all remember the song. Whitney was singing it. She said ..... 

Something like that. Whitney Houston had a whole band. I can't play all those instruments. Not today. But you get the idea. Yea, Whitney was rockin' and jammin' in Washington D.C. That's a concert I'll never forget. Whit had soul, and you could tell by how she was movin' the crowd. You could tell by how her band was playing. You could tell by how her backup singers were singing. They were all moving and into it. And Whitney knew what she had when she had Rickey Minor behind her or should I say Pretty Ricky?

And like Diana Ross, Whitney Houston was the boss. She was in charge holding that microphone. She was the leader who influenced and inspired others like Monica and Brandy. As a matter of fact, they were at her concert. .... (singing)

2nd Night of Classic Whitney Concert

 

I love the 2nd night of Classic Whitney. She was in harmony with her friends out in the audience and her fans. Watching it makes me feel as if I'm there, though I know Whitney is gone.
