Indeed! We've heard/seen more than enough about who and and what caused Whitney's demise... The world should know why Whitney Elizabeth Houston was and forever will be the Greatest Of All Times. Whitney is a once in human existence miracle/gift that must be cherished for our future generations to hear and see what true greatness and vocal divinity sounds like! Whitney's personality was just as beautiful as her looks and voice! Her good heart and humbleness made her a very loved woman by everyone who knew her and millions of fans all over the world. All the humanitarian work Whitney did saved many unfortunate people around this world. Whitney should be praised for that too! *Whitney Elizabeth Houston brought all songs she sang to a higher level.* 👉 ✨✨ *The highest Devine Level!* ✨✨ Didn't We Almost Have It All kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8Vkg89-nZuyeqM.html I loves You ,Porgy / And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going / I Have Nothing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9Rxl5yYvLSolKc.html He/I Believe kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jseXhcKFmLGXe40.html The Greatest Love Of All kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7RheZR0xLKyfJ8.html A Quiet Place kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8Wjqrp9s8m8iI0.html One Song kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9CabKVmmrOUj40.html&index=3&list=PLZYslmmRsoxeRdJJ2CAvcv19jFhlWTXDz One Moment InTime Live Tribute To Sammy Davis Jr 1990 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZ5kosqjs6vIo2Q.html&list=PLZYslmmRsoxeRdJJ2CAvcv19jFhlWTXDz&index=22 Grammy Awards 1989 www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ac1kw In Return (sick and still this great) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arh3iMp1tcq-dI0.html This Day kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMyciK2brZPUpaM.html Bridge Over Troubled Water kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ga18Y5xq2Z7NYqc.html

Whitney was the total package. SHe was truly blessed with a powerful gift that cannot be duplicated. Talent like that only comes once in a lifetime. But she was stretching herself too thin and privacy became virtuality impossible. That has to be hard on a person, having to please everyone that her life belonged to the business and the fans. But she will live through her music and live forever. She's gone but never to be forgotten.

U absolutely hit the nail on the head with ur post. They literally forgot that Whitney wuz a human being. They thought that she wuz a robot. They talked about her being on drugs but nobody thought about the fact that Whitney doing drugs wuz her way of literally to be the robot that the fans Clive and her team wanted her to be. She cudnt even enjoy her last album. They threw her right back out on the road and that she wuznt quite prepared for. I luv u Whitney

He was a gent and sencere and that's what I like about him the most. Here's to Whitney and Narada!

I keep telling people and not because i worship WH or any other human being....i worship GOD. But the truth of the matter is that WH was a rare instrument of song. Her voice had more qualities in it then i have ever heard in a single singer. She had the emotional inflections,clarity,tone,pitch,diction,prononuciation and even at the higher register she lost nothing. She is legend because of her vocal power. WH is truely worthy of her title "THE VOICE' because that's what GOD gave her.

In life what is most important is not how we start out but how we end. We all have weaknesses or demons, but a true friend will try and be a true friend and not let you fall by the side of the road. Being spiritually grounded is most important in the music business, life is a battlefield we must be on guard all the time. Some people can talk the talk but can't walk the walk. How easy it is to be deceived, that's why the Bible says let know man deceive you, if we are not careful we will start to believe in lies and can't distinguish what is true and what is not. Sometimes, people put on fronts or wear false faces in the music business but their actions speak louder than words. We need to pray for all our entertainers. Peace
