Living in a Legend: Whitney Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012)


My aunt Amy was a huge fan of Whitney Houston so much so when I think of her I hear "saving all my love" twinkling in the background of my memories. Whitney Houston is a legend with an angelic voice that will always live on and on. Her tunes and astronomical vocals go beyond compare. That urban Newark attitude and flare, gave flavor to her upbeat rhythms and sensual ballets. Topping the charts worldwide, Grammy’s, billboards, and AMA's doesn't do justice to describe this hailed diva! 

On the wake of the Grammy's tonight, people tweeted a day before saying "ooh hopefully, the Grammy will have some time to whip up a tribute to her" and "24 hours to the Grammy’s I wonder if they can have a dedication". Is this what we as fans and human beings of this world has resulted to? Television is already in the works; I can see the titles now. "The rise and fall of a legend", "The dying Diva" I mean really? Regardless of her dynamic downfalls and fuck ups let’s not forget what she is known and loved for. Let’s not forget she is a mother, a daughter, and a friend. Everyone that has a pulse makes mistakes some larger than others, but Whitney Houston has given us a gem in music, life, and entertainment. Rest in Peace Whitney Houston you are a true artist, woman, and teacher. Through your music you will live forever and so will I!
