Whitney - Soul Singer From Church

Whitney is a soul singer from church. I don’t know what they were talking about when they said she wasn’t black enough. And her singing didn’t have nothing to do with hip hop because she was singing.

This is someone playing Whitney. She was needed for the Whitney Houston movie. It would have taken me forever to make that movie until I found someone like this to play Whitney. When you got to have the very best, you search long and hard until you get the best. People are so quick to make a dollar, and that's how flops are made.

George and Whitney Could Have Sang Together

It would have been awesome if George and Whitney could have sang The Greatest Love of All together. I can hear it right now. 

George Benson ‘Greatest Love of All’

YouTube

 When I first heard Whitney Houston sing Greatest Love of All, I had a hard time learning how to sing some parts. I had forgotten that I heard George Benson sing Greatest Love of All on the Muhammad Ali movie. I wish I had remembered his version trying to learn her version. 

Whitney had talent because she made a song sound as if it was totally new and different keeping the same tune. I thought The Greatest Love of All was a brand new song. But George’s version was good too. It’s just a beautiful song. I love both versions.

The Sweet Inspirations - Alfie

 Have you heard the Sweet Inspirations sing Alfie? When I first heard the song, I heard Whitney sing it. 

Thinking of Whitney

It’s Hard To Write About Whitney

I often think of Whitney Houston. It’s just hard to write about her now. I’ve heard so much about her since she passed away. It sounds like she had a lot going on in her life, but I was only seeing the entertainer. That doesn’t mean I was completely ignorant to the fact that Whitney was having problems. 

The media kept saying drugs this and drugs that. But what was the cause? 

The columnists couldn’t wait to say that Whitney was on drugs and post the worst photo possible on the front page of tabloids. They couldn’t wait to say that she was dying as if they wanted her to die. Knowing she was from the church, why didn’t they do a writeup on Whitney needing prayer? Because they are happy to write reports on somebody’s downfall until troubles come their way. Anyone in the world can have a downfall - Christian or not. Anyone can get weak. They made it seem like Whitney was one of the worst celebrities in the whole wide world. What was the cause of Whitney’s drug addiction? What lead her to drugs? What made her depressed in life? Sometimes life can be hard. Not everyone can bear it. 

Living with someone who also have done drugs

People blamed Bobby Brown a lot for what happened to Whitney. Although I do not think it was Bobby’s fault, it didn’t help when both of them were doing the same thing. They did things together. Then Whitney wasn’t getting along in her marriage, and she didn’t always agree with her mom. It seems as if Whitney didn’t really have the right people around her in her life. And family is very important. Some think that a big part of her problem was family. I think that’s a lot of what is wrong with a lot of us. We all just don’t handle things the same way. 

Some call her death murder

The moment I heard that Whitney had passed, I felt like it might have been murder, but I can’t really say that it was. I felt something strong from the announcement that something just wasn’t right. Then on top of that, something told me not to worry about her death. I never believed that drugs killed Whitney. From the very beginning, I always believed that something was happening to Whitney off and on in her career through her actions. Sometimes she looked depressed. Something was making her unhappy.
