Whitney Houston-Accolades Only Thread: Queen of the Night and Step by Step

[franjoy56]

After sitting at different times today to grace the funeral, with tears flowing I have come to realize how much she was loved by all those in that newark church and that Whitney HOuston was a huge artist who brought joy to many music lovers all over the world. She will be remembered for her fabulous voice hitting the pop charts out of the box. For those who don't know and many of us should she had 11 # 1 record singles one of them at the top for 14 [[and 7 of them at # 1 consecutively no other female artist can ever match at this time The supremes & mariah at 5 in a row) I am going to list her 11 #1 singles:

1985
Saving all my love for you
How will i know

1986
Greatest Love of all

1987
I wanna Dance with somebody
Didn't we almost have it all
So Emotional

1988
Where do broken hearts go

1990
I'm you baby tonite
All the man that I need

1992
I will always love you 14 wks at #1

1995
Shoop Shoop [[Exhale)

In addition 7 studio albums all of them hitting the
Billboard Album Charts with Whitney and I Look to you debutting at #1.

5 Movies including the August release "Sparkle" with the "Bodyguard" being one of the biggest soundtrack album of all time.

and endless awards including record grammys and emmy awards.

So it seems all of her accomplishments outweight the negativity that transpired in her life, and beleive me we all have skeletons, but Whitney will always be remembered for the love she had for people, and the good she bought to us in her sparkling body of music. The negative issues she experienced will never outweigh all the good she achieved.

God has called another angel and ended her pain.

It has been reported this week that Whitney Houston has won more awards than any other female artist in history! I did not know that. I knew she won 6 Grammys. I am going to look for more information on Whitney's accomplishments.

I clearly think she's top 3 voices of all time.She was the total package

Whitney pretty much shut it down when she came on the scene! People began to hold her up as "the Gold Standard" and if a singer was going to be considered good, they would have to measure up in some way to Whitney Houston. She was beyond being a mere diva.

Here's one that's has much better audio & video quality.

What I love about this clip is that aside from the fact that it is my all time favorite Whitney Houston recording is that she is totally singing it live over the pre-recorded backing tracks that were used on the album and she effortlessly adds some very interesting embellishments [[phrasing, vocal runs) not evident in the original recording. TOTAL LOVE FOR HER. SHE WAS ONE OF A KIND. PEERLESS. UNTOUCHABLE.

Her legacy is going to blind some people! Everytime they hear one of Whitney's classic recordings, they are going to remember and have to admit to themselves that she was the greatest and a true gift from God.
