Coming here with a very heavy heart right now.
I’m just about speechless tonight, Passion-nistas. A remarkable woman with a voice of an angel has left the building.
Whitney Houston meant so much to me – because I came “out” around the time of her very first album.
I played this album over and over and over again. I remember listening to hidden meanings in “You Give Good Love,” and “Saving All My Love for You.” I played her so much that my boyfriend at the time (yes, boyfriend) would hide the album from me. I swear for God I bought it THREE times because I couldn’t find it. He admitted to taking them later. He must have known. And, frankly, deep inside my heart I believed when I heard her sing these lyrics:
Never stopping, I was Always searching
For that perfect Love
the kind
That GIRLS LIKE ME DREAM OF
I KNEW she was talking about me. I was convinced of this. Whitney and me had something very special in common – and it wasn’t singing.
Whitney Houston, RIP.
Here’s Whitney doing the Star Spangled Banner like NO ONE ELSE CAN and probably never will – in 91.
Her very last performance. So so very sad.
