Whitney Houston was a Leo Icon

Whitney Houston was a Leo Icon. She was successful with a powerful nature. Whitney was truly show business with talent, and her sign is about these things for August 9th. From my understanding, there are degrees of Leo.

Being a Leo, sometimes I have to wonder if that is why the lion was chosen as the logo for Whitney's company Nippy Inc. Well, a great choice was made because Whitney Houston was truly a lion.

Nippy, Needle, and Record (Whitney Houston)

Whitney Houston had a New Jersey-based management company. I like the frame of mind Whitney had. She was about business, and she had the right idea in having her own. It is said she had some other companies too. I'm learning some more things about Whitney I didn't know. It kind of makes me sad that I didn't get to meet her. To forget the pain of her being gone, today I just draw Nippy, needle, and record.

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.
