Whitney Houston sadly passed away at 23.43pm (GMT, 15.33 local time) yesterday evening. I'm not gonna write a post about how "she was my life" or "my hero" or whatever people generically come out with when such a legend passes away. Obvious for a HUGE majority of people this is true, but for some, it's just a way of pretending. Before this starts to sound like I don't care or something, I'll get back to the point of this. I'm not gonna lie and say I was Whitney Houston's biggest fan, but when I was watching 4Music's tribute show this morning, it hit me just how much of her music I loved without even realising. From 'The Greatest Love of All,' to 'Saving All My Love for You,' and 'It's Not Right, But it's OK' to the recent 'Million Dollar Bill,' I can guarantee that you will be able to sing along to the vast majority of her back catalogue without even realising. I sure did. This is not forgetting tracks like 'I Will Always Love You' and 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody,' that everyone on the human planet knows and loves. Her voice was absolutely incredible, and let's be honest, there's no-one else on the same level really. We've sadly lost another legend (possibly down to drug abuse, again, but I'm not here to comment on that), and she, and her voice, will be sadly missed.
I'm posting 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' because it sounds like a girls' night out to me. I think it's one of the best, and most fun, tracks to remember her by. RIP Whitney Houston.
