I am counting down the days until the remake "Sparkle" hits theaters August 17th. The movie stars Jordin Sparks, Mike Epps, and my girl-- the late great Ms.Whitney Houston. The original "Sparkle" was before my time, but I always remembered my mom playing the soundtrack around the house and her singing it from the top of her lungs. I have been waiting for this to drop for the longest and I was extremely saddened that Whitney passed before she could do more promo and have her comeback.
The song "Celebrate" is a duet with Jordan Sparks and Whitney Houston. The song has a throwback funky feel to it that kind of reminds me of Whitney Houston's "Million Dollar Bill". The video features the entire cast of Sparkle missing of course Whitney. The video ended up being a tribute to Houston as they look up to the sky and sing to her and Jordan rocking a Whitney Houston shirt at the end. The closing of the video shows Jordin Sparks saying "We love you Whitney"; then the scene closes.
Celebrate does just that, celebrates the life of a talented woman.
