Whitney Houston - One of My Favorite Childhood Singers

Whitney Houston -- The Voice -- was one of my favorite singers as a child. My favorite songs by her are "I Wanna Dance with Somebody," "How Will I Know," "So Emotional," "I'm Every Woman," and "Heartbreak Hotel." Despite all of the negative press that she got in her life for the past twenty years, I didn't keep up with any of the bad things. I choose to remember her the way that she was during The Bodyguard Era. I really wish she was still alive today and had never went the route that she did; she would have been one of the best singers -- a singer who didn't have to take her clothes off and dance sexually on stage. Her voice proved that she had more talent than most of the so-called female singers out there today.

Rest in Peace, Whitney Elisebeth Houston. You will be missed.

Music - 1980s

It's not a secret that I'm a huge fan of 1980s music. My favorite artists from that decade would be the following: Michael Jackson, Sade, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Phil Collins, Janet Jackson, Huey Lewis and the News, Peter Gabriel, and so many more. I just saw a clip that someone uploaded to Youtube for the "Miami Vice" TV series. It was a tribute to the character Sonny Crockett, and the song playing in the clip is "It Hurts to Be in Love" by Gino Vannelli. I had never heard of this song until hearing it on the clip, but I love it; here is the video for the song below.
