Minutes ago, breaking news reported the incomparable beautiful queen, Whitney Houston has abruptly gone off to rest in paradise, at age 48. The singer/actress was pronounced dead at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, California by someone within her entourage, before prepping for the Clive Davis (mentor) Annual Pre-Grammy Bash. Whitney was widely-known for stellar vocal deliverance and not a soul could ever articulate her majestic gift. The powerful songbird's bulky repertoire follows 170 million albums, singles, and videos sold, an epic movie "The Bodyguard" starring Kevin Costner, NAACP award for her performance in "The Preacher's Wife", 2 Emmys, 6 Grammys, 22 American Music Awards, 6 World Tours and one of the best National Anthem renditions of all time. Whitney was visibly on the rebound, revitalizing oneself to revamp her career.
The Grammys are scheduled to air tomorrow evening, and have adjusted the lineup to pay the proper tribute to the "The Voice". Two nights before the tragedy, Whitney performed what would be her last performance with close-friend, Kelly Price. Recently, she finished filming her role in the upcoming remake of Sparkle alongside American Idol champ, Jordin Sparks. The cause of the idol's death remains a mystery, while a memorial service intends to transpire at the church where she was discovered, in Newark, NJ. My condolences go to her kin: her daughter Bobby Kristina, mother Cissy Houston, cousin Dionne Warwick, godmother Aretha Franklin, and a host of loved ones. Whitney Houston was an influence to a massive record of modern singers.
I Will Always Love You coined from Houston, is one of the biggest vocal performances EVER.
1963-2012
