Ok I have a response to those who are saying, "One dies a millions cries. A million dies no one cries." about the death of Whitney Houston. This is so disrespectful. Ten times out of ten, you weren't thinking about the millions who are dying. And when someone did show deep concern about the million dying, you labelled him a child molester, you stripped him of his fame and fortune, you killed his name, you killed him, and is STILL trying to kill his legacy. So what's really the problem?
She was stunningly gorgeous at a very young age..... Some peoples have no respect for the dead and it's because they don't have any respect for themselves. I simply ignore the remarks that I have come across. Maybe someday they will come up with a way to prevent folks from coming onto webpages that someone have been considered enough to share with real fans.
When reading negative & angy comments for events that one expects Kindness, Compassion & Charitable Empathy, it sickens one worse than the event itself.
In ths time of sorrow, blessings to your family & friends, RIP Whitney. Thanks for all your wonderful songs. Juli ;)
She was Not died while taken drugs, she died clean and clear, she was ready for the big night but GOD wants her and called her.. So please you people pay some respect to death we all going there and no one knows how he will be died .. Whitney was in drugs for years but came clean and tried to have her life on track again but she was struggling and her Time has came along
@uksamful No disrespect uksamful I understand where you coming from but I must say God is the life giver not the life taker. I just dont undersand why people call God the almighty and loving merciful God but in the same since says he takes the life of loved ones I am pretty sure God gets tired of taking tha blame. I am just wondering what is Satan's job then.
WHITNEY YOU ARE SO LOVED, YOU ARE SO MISSED, R.I.P MY DEAR, YOU ARE NOW IN THE ARMS OF GOD, WITH GOD GRACE I WILL SEE YOU SOME DAY, KISS MICHAEL JACKSON AND LUTHER AND SAY HI TO MARVIN GAYE AND THE TEMPTATIONS
@nosnayack Absolutely. Her music will be heard long after ALL of us are dead and gone. By then, her personal life (warts and all like the rest of us have), will be of no importance: only the gift of her songs. I always saw her as a legend & hated how people tried to strip her of her legacy just because of her vices, like some did Michael Jackson. You just can't unring that bell and forget all that Whitney Houston has brought to the world.
I have cried many tears at her loss. I felt a loss. From Arista 25 I went on to fall in love with this great singer. Also became aware of the medias ugliness to her. I felt that she brought so much joy. Inspired people to dance, SAAANG!, fall in love, get thru a lonely night. She was the real thing. But I rooted for her. I recognize she struggled as we all do. We should all be lifting each other when we falter. She deserved to be allowed to be human. Love is DEEP. Hate-nuthin'
I too have been sickend by both the media and the haters. Didn't like her for the longest time.
Watched Arista 25 becuz some critic wrote of her almost falling, sweating and erratic. So I watched to see Whitney almost fall. But nobody worked a stage in a gown like her. She was fierce and so beautiful and she SAAANG! She did almost trip but it was a chord and u can see her point it out to the cameramen but so subtle that at first glance it seems like she just
thank you. you said it well: she shared, she was real, she was beautiful. all the haters are just jealous because their names will not be remembered when they are gone. Thank you Cissy Houston and Dionne Warrick for having such beautiful and god-gifted Whitney Houston
@jmusic45 don't trip about these other people that don't talk with their HEARTS. we can't fix them. whitney was real, she was beautiful, she shared, she gave , maybe too much. but LOVE like that can't be shamed. so f$#k them. her songs make me feel loved and I just want to give it back to her. she's in everyone prayers now and with the spirits at peace. cry and bless her. and say a prayer for her family, daughter, mother, brother , and bobby was her only love so he needs prayers too. ?
I don't think noone deserves to die like that if by the hands of a murderer. It crazy what people is saying she deserve. Let the woman die i mean if God wanted her to go that way that's fine nothing we could do to stop that that's true dat, but for people to make it seem like murdering somebody is okay is another thing and that's not right
It's sad but it seems when you're one of the best there will ever be the haters try even harder...She will always hold that title of being one of the chosen few BEST vocalist to ever exist in any lifetime....I'll always Love Whitney "LEGEND" Houston R.I.P Eternal Love!
Dearest Whitney, it matters not what people say. I just pray that you had time to make peace with God. Cause when people may pull you down, HE holds you up even in your weakest moments. I hope you are there singing for Him....
I'm sorry but, african american men don't usually show any support for african american women, and I'm sorry that I didn't know anyone who could have prevented this f'd up Moment in time.
I'M SORRY WHITNEY.
MAYBE I COULD HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER,
DONE SOMETHING TO HELP YOU.
YOUR SPIRIT WAS SOOOOO SPECIAL.
THERE'S SO MUCH YOU HAD TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR FUTURE.
It's sad that Whitney “hit me” Houston crapped out at 48, instead of 28, as she defrauded thousands of ticket-buying fans in recent years with her caterwauling. She humiliated herself to support a cocaine addiction. She suffered. She was in pain and she managed to convey that pain by hurting the ears of her fans.
Reports were published that she was broke and needed financial help from friends. Houstons cause of death by anti-depressant overdose, drowning. Cause of death is believed to be by an overdose of Xanax. Houston reportedly fell asleep in her bathtub and drowned after taking the prescription medication normally reserved to treat depression and anxiety.
The night before Houston had drank alcohol with the drug, known to cause "severe sedation." WTF stays in a expensive hotel when their broke?
I've been reading some nasty comments online on CNN and other website about Whitney's death, saying she deserved it, Bobby Brown should pay. I'm like wow. So far youTube has been okay. What's with these people? She's dead. No one deserves to die like that. We've all made mistakes, some worse than others. She was trying, but some of us just cut her down regardless. I'm just thinking about her family.
@jmusic45 yeah i agree people are mentally challenged i seen some evil mean comments on you tube also they was calling her a crack head and saying other shit i was like wow so cold heart people,i don't think people have any good thing to say when people die,i think people only praise they self like they perfect,smdh i say these type of people are mentally sick in delusional.
I agree with you ....who do people think they are???? Extremely judgemental....those people writing nasty comments haven't walked in her shoes or anybody's shoes but their own....get a soul and a life...and worry about anyone but yourselves....look in the mirror
@jmusic45 I agree! She was someone I looked up to growing up. All I feel is sadness. I feel sad for the loss of an icon, I feel sad for her family and I feel sad that we will never get the chance to see her succeed in her come back. Who are they to judge?
@jmusic45 dont read that mess it just shows you how degenerative (is that a word?) our society has become and those people are the products of our society...isnt that a scary thought?
@jmusic45 Don't worry, Bill O Reilly and the rest of the useless dumb fucks have been waiting for three decades to be able to say it. They couldn't while she was Queen and reigning at the top.
@jmusic45 The WORD of God says that He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemy. I can't wait for the toxicology reports to come out and show that she was clear and died of something OTHER than what these crazy people are saying. People are just absolutely MEAN and insensitive.
This song needed more Whitney and Cissy, and less bathtub fart noises. (sorry! LOL) R.I.P. Whitney... you turned every piece of music into gold! You will be so sorely missed.
I'm so hurt right Whitney is and always will be the best female vocalist to me.
Luther Vandross is and will always be the best male vocalist to me. My favorite singers are gone but as long as i'm living i will keep singing Luther song and listening to Whitney's Magical voice R.I.P Love always John Meadows Jr.
R.I.P. Whitney -- we'll always love you, your voice, your songs, your smile, the feeling you put into every single song you ever sang. Amazing....no one will ever copy or imitate you or be better!
last night the sun set in the wintry but clear sky's over London never had i seen such a beautiful sunset with the sun glowing dark red from the bottom to a bright orange at the top and just then you could make out the shape of a aircraft as it flew across the face of the sun. Spectacular something you don't see often if at all in a life time.
I woke the next morning to the devastating news,Whitney was a big part of millions of people, today is a day for reflection a day to look back at history.
All of us have our struggles. For dose of us who can reach Heaven, let us pray to God our Father, for help along lives road of ups and downs. Pray that God will rescue us from the strong hold of the devil. Pray for me, as I pray for you all.
The song is called "Life's a party" and it is features on jabara's longplay, it was released in 1978, Whitney was 14/15 at the time of recording, the quality really is bad, she sounds amazing when normal, it features her mother Cissy H., at the end of the song.
Cissy Houston, Whitney's mom was a leading singer in the 70's ( Chart Topping hits) This was Whitney's first song, she also modeled for many magazines then as well. This song was a Disco song sung with her mom, Cissy, it was called, Life's a Party! She was a background vocals, she also had another song called Memories in 1982, when she teamed up with Clive Davis of Arista Records, was when she was on her way!
I think this is just a bad recording making it sound in the wrong key .. i have this CD .. it's a great song,,.apart the extremely long instrumental .. but, i guess it was just the way dance msuic was back then.
Cissy Houston brought up Whitney very well vocally and she is a legend in her own right... backing vocals for some of the best .. Luther Vandross...Elvis... and her CDs cost sooo much online. Must be doing something right. :P thanks for posting, Stay Blessed.
I don't see how peeps don't know this Whitney!! True fans know this voice anywhere..yes she is younger but the Tone and quality is evident and the clarity is there. And I actually love the melody, its a good feeling...
um this is why Clive was needed for Houston. She became a great interpreter when she got older for sure, and a standard. But this recording is not an example of what's to come. So far MJ is the best child star w/ the best voice. I would have thought WH would have been just as good but this production doesn't show it.
wow...i always knew about this being her 1st song and everything, but i never actually listened to it till now...not bad for a debut. her voice was already strong, even in her teens. thx for posting this.
She was pretty, and she appears to have a very nice texture of hair. Bare in mind that this was before relaxers, too. why the hell does she hide it behind those not-so-flattering wigs now?
Her hair is pretty! Thats what i mean..don't read too much into it! I just simply meant that her own hair looks better than the hair pieces she wears. I'm not going to get into a "school Daze" good or bad hair debate here. :)
I did a disco tv in NY at the time this was recorded,,,in fact a mochael zager produced band called Afro cuban Band (very similar sound to this) Whitney appeared with her Mom Cissy and with Loletta Holoway ,,,If anyone has a clip please post it.
Even as a kid her voice is unmistakable. It took over two minutes into the song to first get to her parts but you can definitely tell it is her, very distinctive voice.
I received her Seventeen cover appearance in the mail today on speculation that it may become collectible if Whitney comesback. This 1981 issue says, "Whitney shows off a vanilla-white dress- latticed in copper metallic yarn for pretty sparkle."
great, thanks, this is new to me! i first heard her singing backup for cissy at mikell's on 97th & columbus many years ago. please come back whitney!!!
THAT FIRST PICTURE I COULDNT STOP STARRING AT SHE WAS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL...WOW HER SMILE MAKES ME SMILE

Pastor Shirley Ceasar has been fierce in defending Whitney since her passing. She said no one
know Gods ways. The path we walk is part of the plan. That Whitney was always anointed.
Reading the haters I realized that God wouldn't be anything like that about anyone's addictions.
Another issue but life is made up of them. "Just Whitney" "I Look to You" to me are songs
where Whitney puts everyone in their place media/haters. But her voice will be heard, loud &
strong long after the haters are gone!

She was a background vocals, she also had another song called Memories in 1982, when she teamed up with Clive Davis of Arista Records, was when she was on her way!

I think this is just a bad recording making it sound in the wrong key .. i have this CD .. it's a great song,,.apart the extremely long instrumental .. but, i guess it was just the way dance msuic was back then.
Cissy Houston brought up Whitney very well vocally and she is a legend in her own right... backing vocals for some of the best .. Luther Vandross...Elvis... and her CDs cost sooo much online. Must be doing something right. :P thanks for posting, Stay Blessed.

not to knock Cissy as shes great but they should have toned her down a liitle and amped up Whitney.
Crappy song though - Th instrumental is terrible at one point it souinds like something you would hear on a Scifi show .
Even whitneys vocals couldnt save this song!!!
Could you imagine what it would have sounded without her - nobody would have wanted to listen to this song then!!!

um this is why Clive was needed for Houston. She became a great interpreter when she got older for sure, and a standard. But this recording is not an example of what's to come. So far MJ is the best child star w/ the best voice. I would have thought WH would have been just as good but this production doesn't show it.

She was pretty, and she appears to have a very nice texture of hair. Bare in mind that this was before relaxers, too. why the hell does she hide it behind those not-so-flattering wigs now?

@dootiehole
What do you mean by "nice texture of hair"?
TruthSerum101 2 years ago
Her hair is pretty! Thats what i mean..don't read too much into it! I just simply meant that her own hair looks better than the hair pieces she wears. I'm not going to get into a "school Daze" good or bad hair debate here. :)
dootiehole 2 years ago
"Very nice hair texture" juxtaposed with "bare in mind that this was before RELAXERS", reeks of slave rhetoric - THAT'S WHY I ASKED!

Even as a kid her voice is unmistakable. It took over two minutes into the song to first get to her parts but you can definitely tell it is her, very distinctive voice.

I received her Seventeen cover appearance in the mail today on speculation that it may become collectible if Whitney comesback. This 1981 issue says, "Whitney shows off a vanilla-white dress- latticed in copper metallic yarn for pretty sparkle."
