When you think of incomparable voices that every girl tries to emulate or HOPE to sound like, two voices come to mind; Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Unfortunately Whitney's light was dimmed this past weekend. Hearing the news I fell back and started to shake and cry, it hit me hard. NO I didn't know her personally but I felt like I lost a family member. I felt extremely saddened, angry, and the list goes on. She has been a soundtrack to my life and I'm sure to a lot of other fans' out there. Listening to her music as I type fills me with an array of emotions, but the one that sticks out the most is 'thankful'. Thank you Whitney.
I remember seeing The Preacher's Wife in movie theaters and thinking how beautiful she was, and how much her voice moved me at such a young age. Then we all cannot forget Waiting to Exhale, my mom had that soundtrack on repeat for the longest, and I loved when she played it around the house . Of course the Whitney tracks like "Exhale", "Why Does It Hurt So Bad", and "Count On Me" always stood out to me.
Whitney I don't care what people say or have to say about you.. in my eyes you were and always will be amazing.. and I'm thankful for the wonderful music that we have from you. May you R.I.P. we are going to miss you deeply.
Instead of leaving ya'll with a slow Whitney music video, I rather leave you with "I'm Every Woman", this video is so uplifting, fun, and she looks strikingly beautiful. How I would like to remember Whitney. God Bless. <3
