Whitney Houston Was Tired

Whitney Houston was tired and wanted to take the time to raise her daughter. In the music business, it seems that you really can’t live the life that you want to live. I believe it’s true what they say when they tell you that you become a product. The business couldn’t have cared because Whitney had to keep going and going. There is always more, more, and more. It’s never enough. Whitney Houston was not some old product. Whitney Houston was a human being. She deserved to take all the time off that she needed after all the great success and making someone else rich as well as herself.

_______________________

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 - Being Black

YouTube

Whitney: My root is not black. My root is gospel. My root is not R&B. My root is gospel music. That's where I come from. I come out of the church. Gospel is not something that you can categorize. It's not black. It's not white. It is a feeling. It is soul. It comes from the soul. It's something that you can't deny. If I wanted to, I couldn't........I try to deliver that in everything that I do.

My Opinion: Whitney was very mature in music. People said that she wasn't black enough, but I don't think some people really know what the meaning of black is. Whitney Houston was a mature black woman that sung from the soul. She was on a much higher level than hip hop. Being black doesn't mean that you are always  down and out. One day you might be down and the next day you might be up. One day you might sing about love and the next day you might sing about something else. One day you might sing one song one way and the next day the same song a different way. It all depends on how the spirit hits you. Nobody knows how you come and go. People can't figure you out when you are strong and spiritual. They know you have something and not like everybody else. So people covet and try to put a label on you because you won't go with the crowd. But when there is a spirit in you, you have to flow with that spirit. You can't be everybody else. That is what made Whitney Houston unique, and there will never be another Whitney Houston. God made only one. All of the things that people said about Whitney being black was just people that covet. God said, "Thou Shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor's." It is the Tenth Commandment that God wrote. If you want something, ask God. The same God that gave Whitney is the same God that can give you too. All you have to do is ask. There is no need to covet and lie on anyone else.
