Re: Whitney Houston Dead!
There were two threads about her, so I merged them.

Re: Whitney Houston Dead!
She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful clear voice for a black lady. It no doubt was a talent given by God. She like so many others that we known as singers, like Jerry Lee, Elvis, George Jones, and the list goes on. Most of these people brought up in a gospel environment then lead astray by deceit into a world of despair.
The love for money! No doubt it is the root of ALL evil.

Re: Whitney Houston Dead!
Houston was a mezzo-soprano.Her vocal range extended from G below middle C (G3) to high B-flat (B♭5); she could belt out to treble F (F5).vs the only who can come close to her in range IMO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UypHA-bXXY

Re: Whitney Houston Dead!
Whitney is one of those cases of somebody becoming a druggie that I just don't understand;
* She was raised in church so had a God awareness
* Came from a loving family
* Had an unbelievable amount of God given talent
* That talent brought her wealth, admiration, and fame.
Usually we hear that people become drug addicts because of their hopeless circumstances, no knowledge of God, parental examples or lack of parental examples, etc. Whitney had EVERYTHING going for her.
Among her inexplicable life choices that brought her personal destruction I hope other young women will look at her life and see the consequences of marrying someone who is destructive to you. Particularly if you are already destructive to yourself.
Whitney Houston brought so much pleasure into my life through her music. When healthy and at her peak her voice was like no other. It saddens me greatly that she lost her way and it seems never found her way back.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Whitney Houston Dead!
So sad to hear of her death.
I pray for her family,
especially her young daughter.

You can't ever understand why people do drugs. You can blame it on disorders, blame it on upbringing, blame it on anything you want. But sometimes, in the end, it just gives you a feeling that you can't feel anywhere else, or at that level of feeling that fast.
