One thing that attracts me to an artist and to their music is their authenticity. Tell me a story, make me believe that this is your truth to some degree.

I've not paid much attention to Whitney in my life and in an attempt to overcome judgement (specifically the glorified life of an addict), I sat and watched her videos (music and interviews). Here is what stood out for me.

She loves to sing.
She loves the camera.
She has one hell of a voice.
She has passion and it shows.
She cares deeply.
She loves God.
She lives to move people through music.
She has touched a lot of lives.
She, like all of us, suffers from the human condition.

A person's life should be celebrated despite their mistakes. Imagine the burden of having a gift so beautiful it moves people to tears, instills pride and empowers people...this is the gift Whitney and so many others have given. We should all just be grateful

So...on that note

I invite you to watch this one...it's now one of my favorites.

i really don't think there is another voice as powerful/beautiful ... as whitney's. i've thought about this, and i just don't think anyone else compares. oprah said that when she hears whitney's voice, ... it's like hearing god.

her voice was/is an inspiration. her voice lifts you up. i get lost, ... in that space of inspiration.

i watched her funeral service. i know that made her rejoice. the service was powerful, beautiful, and inspirational, ... just like whitney. amen.
