I woke up this morning and like the first thing I do every morning, reached for my phone on top my bedside drawer to check the time and to see what life has been up to whilst men slept! I was in for a rude and emotional shock, a message on my blackberry saying "Whitney Houston is dead"!! My first reaction was physical, my mouth dropped open! I quickly scrolled through the status updates on my phone to see how through this was and typical, display pictures and messages were abuzz with the words "RIP Whitney".. I then checked my social feed from 'Reuters' and the first news on entertainment was that of Whitney's death. Sad, sorry and sympathy are three words I can't help but feel...
Just like so many others may have wondered or thought, I was judgmental in concluding that "drugs have done it again". God forgive me for passing judgment, but sometimes when you see Hollywood and celebs, that's all you see...the devil passionately and successfully clutching the children of God away. I think it would be fair and right to say that EVERY living soul on this planet who has access to technology has at some point in their life sang "A Whitney Song"! She was like the female version of Michael Jackson. I can't count how many times I've sang Whitney's song.. I even have a very funny video of a friend and I dancing our hearts out to "I wanna dance with somebody", we recorded it in 2008 and just recently while cooped up in my 3x3 square inch room on campus I've played the video for good laughs! Its really sad I must admit that Whitney's life and talent is over so soon.. I wish she sang for God alone, perhaps things may have turned out differently. Then again, trials and problems come into our lives as stepping stones to higher ground..
Reminiscing on her songs, one of my best is "Greatest love of all", such an inspirational voice.. And of course the legendary "I will always love you",.. Its funny, most musicians try to switch to movie and appear to be struggling or forcing talent that doesn't necessarily exist. But Whitney was one person who effortlessly made the switch, the success of "I will always love you" is evidence of this.. Indeed she was synonymous with beauty, fame, voice...Raw Talent at its best, that what she was!
Whitney, the world will always love you no matter what. You gave us good entertainment and your songs will forever be heard from our lips and on our radio players.
Whitney laughed, lived, loved and was loved by all regardless of her troubles. I pray God embraces her and says "welcome home my child, please, join my choir of angels and sing to my glory"... Who knows...
If you loved Whitney then pay tribute to her by letting wonderful memories of her into your heart today..
Check out this playlist and reminisce... Also, if you feel up for good laughs, enjoy my dance video below to "I wanna dance with somebody"! I was never gonna show this publicly, but hey, what the heck! Life is too short and in Whitney's words, "I'll live my life the way I feel"!!!
