Whitney Houston RIP 2/11/12

So Whitney is gone and I haven't really blogged about her. I remember the first time I've heard Whitney, it was way back when with "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" a huge hit for her so there's no way you can live during that time without hearing that. I obviously didn't hear it the first time it came out but it was years after and people were still rocking that song out.


I believe it was when "I Will Always Love You" when the Bodyguard came out when I truly fell in love with her. I just remember that playing all the time on the radio and as a child I would sing that every time hitting those big long notes in my young child's voice. Since then I would listen to every song she had and just didn't know anyone who had such a strong voice as she does. Yes, you can argue with Mariah or Christina's voice being just as powerful but I feel Whitney always just been so effortless when she performs.

I'm not going to sit here and just talk about her issues with drugs because it's very sad that she's gone and the battle she had with drugs. It's unfortunate that she didn't have the right people around her to help her beat the addiction. I just want to remember her for her voice her talent. I've listed my favorite Whitney Houston songs.

1. I Will Always Love You
2. I Have Nothing
3. I Wanna Dance With Somebody
4. So Emotional
5. Run to You
