While this still hasn't set in with me, I know it's ONLY right to pay HOMAGE to the true QUEEN, Whitney Houston. Where does one begin to explain the LOVE and ADMIRATION they have for such a vocal LEGEND! I think across the world, the majority of us feel like Whitney was a member of our family. And that's how you know when they've done their job as an artist. When you feel a connection farther than their music, to the point where you feel connected to them personally.
When I found out Ms. Houston passed, I thought it was a rumor. The confirmation was when all the radio stations started playing her songs, back to back. Me and one of my best friends held hands and sung together. This moment will forever be remembered, as well as her legacy. This will live on without me even saying.
Before these artists of today, Whitney HAILED as the sole Queen of her era. The 1980's music industry belonged to her. And why wouldn't it? Her talent is so indescribably remarkable. I mean TALENT. Her records have NOTHING on her live! Which is crazy because for most artists these days, its just the opposite. We all have our favorite Whitney songs, my top three are [1.] The Greatest Love Of All [2.] How Will I Know [3.] Run To You
[1.] My takeaway from The Greatest Love Of All has been something that I have truly learned and valued forever. I loved this quote so much, that I actually wanted this as a tattoo! "Learning to love yourself, is the greatest love of all!" This is soooooo true. When you truly love yourself, accept yourself for all your victories and flaws, it is the BEST self gratification ever!
[2.] This was my anthem when I first started falling for my boyfriend and was scared! You know as us girls, or any of us for that matter! We want to know that the person we're falling for, is falling for us before we fall!
[3.] There is no deep meaning behind this song- she just KILLS vocally!!!!!!
