On February 11th, 2012 the world lost an icon that will never be replaced. The beautiful and talented Whitney Houston. It's sad to think that some people in our generation only know Whitney as the druggy woman who freaked out when Bobby Brown got sentence and is the punch line to Tyler Perry's jokes. She was so much more then that. She was a voice that the world had never heard before. My first personal experience with Whitney Houston was in Rodger's and Hammerstien's Cinderella. Whitney Houston was the kind fairy godmother who made all of Cinderella's wishes come true. Even in there you can feel the power of her voice. Her voice is one that could never be mimicked. No one can hit and the notes with the power Whitney did. Yes she had her problems like many other people, but that shouldn't overpower all the wonderful things she accomplished. My personal favorite songs of hers are : I Look To You, I Will Always Love You, I Wanna Dance With Somebody,and Saving All My Love For You . I Look To You was actually my go to song when I took long walks at sunset this summer just contemplating this crazy thing called life.
R.I.P. Whitney Houston : You are gone but never forgotten. Keep her eighteen year old daughter Bobbi Kristina in your prayers. She lost not only her mother but her best friend and rock. I can't even begin to imagine what she's going through
A little update though : the investigation of her death is still going on. The information released to the public is that she was found be a member of her entourage dead in the bathtub at only 48 years old. The autopsy showed water in her lungs which is a sign of drowning. We don't know whether it was intentional or any accident and if drugs were involved.
Her daughter Bobbi Kristina was rushed to the hospital twice because of intense breakdowns. Her father Bobby Brown (from New Edition) flew to Los Angeles the next day to be by his daughters side. The night of Whitney's Death he performed and had a bit of a breakdown himself on stage.
