I believe that everybody's purpose in life should be God. Then everything else along with our lives will fall in place. Our careers, our goals, marriage, and anything else that you can think of. Keep in mind that God is above all.
Whitney was a great voice mentor on singing. Those contestants she mentored had a lot of guts to sing in front of her and Clive Davis. I never would have done it unless it was my own song. If you can sing your own songs, people listen more for your voice instead of somebody else's voice. Whitney was a little tough with one contestant that sung one of her songs. He didn't do too bad. Whitney let another contestant know that he had to know what he was doing to sing an Aretha Franklin song. That's why Whitney and Clive never would have heard me sing if it had to be a song by someone else.See video...
Regardless of how many times Whitney lost her voice, it did not affect the knowledge that she had on singing. She could have helped others to do big things if she had retired from singing. It is said Whitney had her own management company named Nippy Inc. She probably knew enough to be her own producer and promoter. With all of the hardships Whitney had, seeing the gossip written about her on front pages, she was still walking around wearing the crown. I don't know how much she knew about that. She was making a come back and was doing so well. I just wish that Whitney had never went to that old Clive Davis Party. If it had been up to me, if I were Whitney's friend, the party would have been at her house with family love and care.
I love the way Whitney Houston sung I Will Always Love You and so did Dolly Parton. I wish that they had sung the song together on television live. If they had sung the song together, I'm sure it would have brought even more attention to the song. If it was your first time hearing the song when Whitney sung it, you probably thought it was a hard song to sing. Whitney used a strong voice singing it. She heard it from Dolly and made it her own. In order to sing the song yourself, it is better to hear the original like Whitney did. It would be easier to find your voice and make the song your own. Dolly made it a lot easier for you to sing. Dolly had her way of singing it, and Whitney had her way of singing it. Combining both of their styles would have been great. You can learn from both singers. I have heard Dolly sing it so sad starting the song with feeling, but she would remove the sadness as she sung further along. She did not always sing the song the same way all of the time.
Here is where she sung it with tears in her voice. And hear is where Whitney sings it her way. You can feel the sadness and goodbye with movie clips as she sings live.
Miss Cissy Houston: These people don't know anything about her. All they know is what they hear....She has had her ups and downs. Like who hasn't? They really chopped on her and chopped on her.....
Opinion: Miss Houston is a lot like my mother was, and she raised Whitney just like my mother raised me. My mother would laugh at some of the things that Miss Houston would say about Whitney at the beginning of Whitney's career. She knew that Miss Houston was like herself, and that Whitney was a kind of like me when she was a child. I see Whitney and her mom with understanding. Whitney was smart to listen and turn to her mom for advice when she did.
If you would look, you can see that Whitney was a decent and powerful person. All of those folks that said she was gay had envy. They were probably jealous of her upbringing. People probably were long before she became a star. I didn't see any signs of Whitney doing drugs until later in her career. I don't know about what other people's eyes may have seen. I'm speaking about mine. Other folks may have seen different, and there were some that were actually around Whitney. People that know you can make up lies too. You have to know a person for yourself. I don't care what Whitney did though. I still love Whitney and enjoyed her music. People can talk but none of us are in the clear. If you don't fight demons, something is wrong. They do not bother the people that they feel that they have already. Demons come in many forms. I can hear the voice of the Lord. I know that God is going to take care of everything.
My Opinion: The story has been changed around so much until I do not know what to believe. The minute I heard that Whitney was dead, I felt like it might had been murder, but I really do not know. From day one, I have had an eerie feeling about Whitney's death. There are people that just want to say that it was drugs. There are other people that really are upset and want to find out for sure if there was any foul play involved. People look down on people when they are on drugs and say that they deserve what they get and call them nobody. Whitney made a bad mistake in life and she tried to turn around. Nobody sees that. Things were going well for her, and now she's dead. I believe Whitney had some enemies from the beginning of her career. I watched things through the years about her and how she gradually started to change. I saw her hurting. Rest in peace Whitney. I'm glad you knew Jesus because nobody loves you like he does.
There is one thing that I can say about Whitney Houston. She told you exactly how it was. Whitney told you the truth. If she did not like something, she told you about it. If she was messing with drugs, she told you she did. Whitney was a person that was real and honest. I believe she wanted her fans to know that she made mistakes and that she was a human being. That's the way God wanted it to be. So many people worship entertainers. Whitney did right in the sight of God in letting people see that she was only human. Other than that, she did not owe the world any explanation about her private life. That was between her, her family, and God.
I see it everyday on the internet how people make fun of Whitney and find faults. It is wrong in the sight of God to laugh at other people when they have a downfall in life. All those that laugh, downfalls are waiting for them too. We are all going to die with mistakes and wrong doing. Yes we do things that we know are not right, but God can see beyond what we do. He is looking at the heart. God knows whether or not the things that Whitney did were actually coming from the soul. He knew her aches and pains. Although she did drugs, it did not stop her from caring and showing love for people. She did not murder anyone. Whitney just wanted to be left alone. You know this life has got to be bad when people get high and excited when someone is hurting. You know it's got to be bad when people try to put things in your life and scandalize your name with a lie. The media is good for doing that. They may call it a job, but it is breaking God's law. (Exodus 20:16) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Well, Whitney had to answer to God. Hopefully has made it over to the other side, and hopefully she is with the Lord. She is gone on now. Will we make it on the other side to that better place? We better start living like it.
Whitney was no phony. I believe that she was tired and that she had a good heart. I can honestly say that my heart goes out to her family. Maybe she won't have to sleep too long. I'm hoping that we will all be together someday soon again in God's kingdom.
Coming in April, there is a new Marvel movie. It is the Marvel Avengers Assemble (2012) everybody keeps talking about. From the previews of the trailer, the Hulk is the best action to me. He is over-sized in muscle just like he is in the comics. I miss the old hulk (Lou Ferrigno) from the old television series in the 80's. He looked so real, but the new Hulk is fun to watch too. In the Avengers movie, I look forward to seeing the Hulk more than anything.
Have you seen the movie trailer of Whitney Houston's sparkle? I saw it and thought, "Uh! Oh! Something changed Whitney and made her stronger in acting. I have never seen her like this before." Although I enjoyed the Body Guard as a love fantasy, this movie was more real for Whitney than the Body Guard. I can tell. Sparkle looks like a movie that Whitney could relate to and be herself. I think this movie is going to be great. It will be great seeing Whitney and all of the other characters that I see will make this a great movie. I think it's going to be a giant hit although it is a remake.
