This week I felt it appropriate to comment on the passing of Whitney Houston. Last night, the Grammy's continuously payed tribute to the artist. Jennifer Hudson sang a beautiful rendition of Houston's "And I Will Always Love You." Houston was one of the greats. She made a mark on the industry as well as on a lot of people. Her gentle beauty and powerful voice made her a woman to be reckoned with. Whitney Houston was also a great actress. All around, she was born to entertain. Personally, I loved the singer's music. Her CD's would always be playing from my sister's room and her voice remains in my childhood memories.
Towards the end of her life, Whitney became involved in drugs. I am not sure how she ultimately passed, but I am assuming that drugs played a part. This life ate the artist up. She lost tons of weight and seemed to disappear from the music world. The singer let fame's toxins get the best of her and ultimately, beat her. Still, Whitney Houston will go down in history as an irreplaceable entertainer.
