Most people don't know this about me but I was a huge Whitney Houston fan. More than any other famous person on earth. I was 9 when her first album appeared on LP. Not until her death on Saturday as I was taking a nap (between 3:30 & 4:30pm) that I realized her impact on my life.
The appearence of Whitney alone at age 22 on this album cover was something I've been inspired by my whole life. Her poise, grace & glamor (traits my own mother possesses) is something I aspire to (not hardly achieved) and with her amazing voice to back it up- she was the real deal. It seems odd to express this about a life of someone I've never met but that's what inspirations are.
I can listen to her voice over and over. Her beauty angelic.
Early songs & many more spoke of self love, love for others & finding the one to love. I even remember her performance in the TV movie, Cinderella, with Brandi. With more talent than many could dream, accomplishments more than most in a lifetime & natural beauty that surpasses- her years of trouble are not to overshadow.
Grief is what I feel of her loss. To see her sheer talented unmatched voice, this YouTube clip is incredible. This was Whitney Houston- her introduction to the world.
