WHITNEY HOUSTON - The Legend

Today once again the World is celebrating Valentine day. There is so much love talk everywhere but is it the true and unconditional Love? But i want to write about the Legend, the Voice who captivated us for several years before addiction to drugs instead of Jesus Christ took over. I am talking about WHITNEY HOUSTON dubbed the 'VOICE'. For several years she released songs upon songs that sold millions and made her an household name all over the World. Unfortunately, after ten years of struggling with drugs addiction, she died at age 48. It was really shocking when the news broke that the beautiful and talented pop diva Whitney Houston died Saturday 11th February 2011. She was found lifeless in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel on the eve of the prestigious Grammy award ceremony. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/a/-/music/12879426/whitney-houston-dies-aged-48/ The irony was that the event she was billed to compere turned out to be the platform to announce her obituary and celebrate her illustrious music.
`I Love the Lord’, Whitney Houston featuring The Georgia Mass Choir: http://youtu.be/WcjP4LgW0Rw via @youtube She was one of the best voices I have heard in music all over the world. Her performances were always electrifying. She made wonderful music. We will no doubt miss the golden voice that has rendered several inspirational and soul-lifting songs. The first day I heard `I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU’ by her, I was moved to tears. It was such a moving track. It was a drastic departure from Dolly Parton’s rendition. Many have been paying tribute to a talent gone too soon. A ground breaker whose beauty, ambition and golden voice inspired many black women across generations.

She was not only a musical icon, but also a style icon, as she never failed to impress on the red carpet, especially with her trendy tresses or hairdos. Here we take you back in time through the late diva’s most divine looks as she went from a girl in pretty pastels to grown woman chic.

Whitney Houston hit the scene as a fresh-face model in the 1980s, and her confident sense of style came naturally. Her early days feature the fashion of the time-funky colours. Bold shoulders and menswear-inspired looks but she later transformed into a more refined style, with sleek silhousttes that flattered her petite frame.
Always totally tressed the singing sensation wowed many in her hairdos whether flipped or tucked, short bobbed, curly, and afro, jagged layered with bangs or chin-length with tons of volume with glossy, textured pieces as she metamorphosed from teen model to award-winning diva.
Adieu Whitney. Rest in perfect peace
