STAR QUALITY: Beautiful, Charismatic, Classy, and Soulful

As one of the most incredible women singers of all time, her sensational fame grew by leaps and bounds.

Anyone who heard her sing was immediately uplifted.

There was indeed something extraordinary about Whitney Houston’s voice and passion for singing.

Referred to as “The Voice,” her vocals would have been enough, but she backed it up with exquisite beauty, talent, and charisma.

Whitney reaching superstardom—sang The Star Spangled Banner during the Super Bowl in 1991.

With Whitney’s first try at acting, she starred in her first Hollywood movie, The Bodyguard in 1992, which became a worldwide hit right out the gate.

The Glam Diva! Oh, that Face, Smile. and Charm. And let’s not forget that body and long legs.

Whitney enchanted millions of people.. She had a model’s body and she loved clothes.

Even when she wasn’t being photographed, she had her own fashion style.

Whitney would have been a star at any age, but as the total made-for-MTV package in a world newly gone crazy for music videos, she probably went further, faster than any pop star in history.

Her Seven #1 Hits in a row beat the Beatles.

Her First Album, Whitney Houston, became at the time, the best-selling debut by a female artist.

Stripped of her long evening gowns, flawless makeup, and heels, Whitney Houston was a down-home New Jersey girl.

LOVE WILL SAVE THE DAY

Whitney superbly performed this song live at the 1987 Special Olympics Summer Games Opening Ceremony at Notre Dame & South Bend, Indiana USA (July 31).

She Captivated the Audience with Her Powerful Message.

Whitney in her prime. This is how I want to remember her.
She meant a lot to so many people.
THIS PERFORMANCE of this song is HISTORIC!
A song full of sense and positivity and hope and most importantly love.
THE VOICE. The best vocalist of a generation
This song’s been stuck in my head all day at work! (again)
The lyrics to this song is so true.
This song is still relevant to this very day. Just simply listen to the lyrics.

What You Need is a Little Change of Heart
Forget this fear and frustration, Love Will Always Play the Greater Part
When your battles wear you down, Here’s my advice:
When you’re feeling down and out and you’ve got troubles on your mind
Love will save the day
When you’re feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind
Love will save the day
When your world’s falling apart, All you have to do is say a prayer
And love will save the day
There’s an Answer in Your Heart, So Let Your Light Shine On My Dear
And love will save the day

Many things in this world bring you down
It’s a wonder you can make it through the day
Well, you can’t sleep cause your problems are too deep
And there’s always something getting in the way
And when you turn on the evening news
Mass confusion is the only thing you see
Well, there’s no question that we need a new direction
‘Cause we all could use some Peace and HARMONY

STEP BY STEP

This is one of my favorite songs and videos. This is how I will remember Whitney Forever.

Well, there’s a bridge and there’s a river

That I still must cross as I’m going on my journey. Lord, I might be lost.

And there’s a road I have to follow. A place I have to go
But no one told me just how to get there

But when I get there I’ll know ‘Cause I’m Taking It

Step by Step, Bit by Bit, Stone by Stone, Brick by Brick, Step by Step, Day by Day, Mile by Mile

And this old road is rough and ruined, So many dangers along the way
So many burdens might fall upon me, So many troubles that I have to face

Oh, But I Won’t Let My Spirit Fail Me.

Hmm, I Won’t Let My Spirit Go Until I Get To My Destination

I’m Gonna Take It Slow Because I’m Making It Mine.

Step by step, You know I’m taking it Bit by bit, Stone by stone, Brick by brick

Step by Step, Day by Day, Mile by mile. Go your own way

So Baby, Don’t Give Up. You’ve Got To Hold On To What You’ve Got

Oh, Baby, Don’t Give Up. You’ve Got To Keep On Moving. Don’t Stop.

I know you’re hurting and I know you’re blue.

I Know You’re Hurting But Don’t Let the Bad Things Get to You

I’m taking it… Step by step…

GO YOUR OWN WAY. COME ON, BABY, YOU GOT TO KEEP MOVIN’

MIRACLE

For nothing should matter, Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours, There’s a miracle in store

A Voice of Love Is Crying Out

Don’t throw love away, There’s a miracle in store
Don’t ever throw away your miracle, Don’t let it slip away
So nothing should matter, Not when love grows inside you

GREATEST LOVE OF ALL

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody’s searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be and so I learned to depend on me

If I Fail, If I Succeed, At Least I’ll Live As I Believe

No Matter What They Take From Me, They Can’t Take Away My Dignity

Because the Greatest Love of All Is Happening To Me
I Found the Greatest Love of All Inside of Me
The Greatest Love of All Is Easy To Achieve
Learning To Love Yourself, It Is The Greatest Love Of All!

Whitney Houston’s Glamorous Fashion Styles

I’m Every Woman (featuring Chaka Khan)

I’m Every Woman. It’s All In Me
Anything You Want Done, Baby, I Do It Naturally

Exhale (Shoop Shoop) (1995 Waiting To Exhale movie)

Sometimes You’ll Laugh, Sometimes You’ll Cry

Life Never Tells Us the When’s or Why’s
When You’ve Got Friends to Wish You Well
You’ll Find Your Point When You Will Exhale, Yeah, Yeah, Sing
Shoop, shoop, (shoop be doo) shoop be doop

Oh, hearts are often broken when there are words unspoken
In your soul there’s answers to your prayers

If You’re Searching For a Place You Know, A Familiar Face, Somewhere To Go
You Should Look Inside Your Soul, You’re Halfway There

I Believe In You and Me (The Preacher’s Wife movie, 1996)

I believe in you and me
I believe that we will be in love eternally
Well, as far as I can see, you will always be the one for me
Oh, yes, you will

And I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea, I was lost, now I’m free
‘Cause I believe in you and me

Count On Me (1995, with CeCe Winans)

Count On Me Through Thick and Thin
A Friendship That Will Never End
When You Are Weak, I Will Be Strong
Helping You To Carry On
Call on me, I will be there
Don’t be afraid
Please believe me when I say, Count on me.

I Didn’t Know My Own Strength

Lost touch with my soul
I had nowhere to turn
I had nowhere to go
Lost sight of my dream
Thought it would be the end of me
I thought I’d never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to
I thought I would break

I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down and I tumbled but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength

One Moment In Time

Whitney Houston’s “One Moment In Time” was the official song of the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.

I want one moment in time

When I’m more than I thought I could be

When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away

And the answers are all up to me

Give me one moment in time when I’m racing with destiny

Then, in that one moment of time, I will feel eternity.

WHITNEY’S MUSIC and SPIRIT LIVES ON!

RIP Whitney—August 9, 1963 to February 11, 2012

Whitney’s songs are forever ingrained in my mind. At any point in time, a song will pop up. I’ll find myself humming to a tune or silently singing the lyrics.

“She was a she-ro to millions of women. She was an absolute pioneer. One of the greatest voices on the planet.” Wynonna Judd

We have to thank Cissy Houston for teaching Whitney how to captivate an audience with her smile, presence and voice.

Cissy Houston, Whitney Houston, and Bobby Kristina

Hopefully she is singing with the angels up above and giving them as much joy as she gave us while she was on this earth.

Grammy Award Winner Whitney Houston sang The Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl XXV on January 27, 1991 in Tampa, Florida.

Whitney Houston Quote: “What’s In Your Soul Is In Your Soul.”
