You'll Always Be Loved Whitney!

What a shock: Whitney Houston has died at 48. Thank goodness for FACEBOOK because I was watching The Voice (no pun intended during such a serious matter) and I didn't even know about Whitney until I saw some posts on FACEBOOK. 

Unfortunately, there are people who are trying to overshadow all the tremendous things she has done with the negative which they feel led to her demise.  This is one of those classic scenarios where you can list all the good things a person has done against all the negative and the positive things will definitely win out. 

All the right she did  impacted a whole lot of lives in a positive way.  I saw her movie "Bodyguard" several times and not once did I go to an empty theater even if I went alone.  My watching the same movie more than once doesn't happen too often.  I don't recall a movie I watched her perform in I missed seeing again to make sure I didn't miss anything because it was so totally awesome.

Whitney to me will always be a legend worth celebrating no matter what the cause or accusations of surrounding her death.  She made major contributions to the world with giving the ultimate sacrifice of her herself to so many for so long that nothing could overshadow that.


One of my favorite movies was "The Bodyguard" which she starred in with Kevin Costner.  The vocals she blew for the song "I Will Always Love You" brought me to uncontrollable tears at the movie theater.  The movie and the vocals were very touching.  Whitney had that kind of voice where you could fall in love with the song based on the vocals before grasping the meaning of the lyrics.

Whitney was an outstanding vocalist.  She even as great as an actress.  Her music and movies were so moving they will always be awe inspiring for me. 

The legacy she leaves to America is her music, her work, and her love which illuminated in everything she did.  I'm sure no one will ever forget the love she showed for her family outside of her artistic endeavors.  When so many stood against her marriage to Bobbie Brown she stood by him.  One day people in America are going to wake up and realize the issues with drugs in America is bigger than Whitney and any vices she suffered through during her lifetime.  She had it right.  When she stood by Bobbie even if he led her further astray she didn't abandon her issues she dealt with them.  America needs to stop abandoning the issue with drugs and deal with them more heavily.  Drug use is a victimless crime until someone dies.  Even more unfortunate when they die way too soon.

My condolences to Whitney Houston's family, loved ones, friends, and fans.  She is a Diva who will truly be missed.  Kudos for a job well done to Whitney! 


Whitney let your voice resound higher than the roaring sea as you enter those pearly gates to eternal rest and peace.
