    We all know that Whitney was THE voice. But especially with her hair pushed back like that, it's no doubt that she was also the FACE. Just stunning.

THAT ALONG WITH AN ADDICTION TO NICOTINE WAS THE CRUX OF HER ISSUES. HER ABILITY TO SING WAS A HUGE PART OF HER IDENTITY. NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THAT WAS PROBLEMATIC.

    As part of her "Bodyguard World Tour", in 1994 I had the privilege of witnessing Whitney's incredible talent just a few feet away from me at her concert in Puerto Rico. It was at the "Hiram Bithorn Stadium" in San Juan. I was stunned with her artistic strength, projection, charisma, but most of all with the voice that God gave her. The setlist was Love Will Save the Day; Saving All My Love for You; How Will I Know; I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me); Nobody Loves Me Like You Do; Didn't We Almost Have It All; Where Do Broken Hearts Go; All the Man That I Need; I'm Your Baby Tonight; I Have Nothing; Queen of the Night; Jesus Loves Me; I Will Always Love You and I'm Every Woman. Without a doubt, Whitney has been a great loss to the world. May she and her daughter rest in peace.

      She didn't fall apart we tore her apart always asking that she be superhuman at all times. We demanded that she constantly and consistently be red carpet ready, that she be without flaw, that her voice be clear as a bell and acrobatic everytime she sang, that she not make any mistakes, that she be our perfect black princess. Well...she wasn't, she was just like you or me...human and imperfect - unbelievably gifted vocally - but human and imperfect just the same. You have never had the entire world's expectations and demands on your back. It is easy to see how that kind of pressure and money driven guidance from those you trust can lead a person into temptation if not in being sharply watchful certainly in needing relief from diamond creating/diamond status PRESSURE. This is not at you it is FOR us all. We tore Whitney apart...We did it.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. It is NOT an easy life. Money is NOT a cure-all salve. If you were not among those who lovingly watched her and had certain expectations that most if not all fans have then fine count yourself separate from the group.

      She's amazing. She's fabulous. She's great. Is she the greatest vocalist of all time? Some might question that. Luciano Pavarotti, Aretha Franklin and Frank Sinatra weren't bad,. So were Elvis and Roy Orbison, who could hit notes on the other side of high C, but that's just fodder for arguments and nothing more because there's no way to determine who's the "greatest." It's entirely subjective. I love Whitney Houston, and this is the greatest live musical performance on a late-night TV talk show I've ever seen, and I'm ancient, but is it the greatest live musical performance on a late-night TV talk show ever? It depends on who you ask.

I had so much to do and it took about two years until I first saw a picture of her somewhere and thought "Oh, not only a lovely voice!". She was, is and will always be my favorite singer. She is the only celebrity that ever died and brought tears to my eyes. Since Whitney and I share a birthday on the same date, but I was born years before her she should have never left this world before me.
