Okay, so the buzz the last few days has been about Whitney Houston and her "comeback" to music. It’s been seven years since her last album and we are all aware of many of the struggles that she has faced during her hiatus from singing. I watched her Good Morning America appearance online once I got home from work. While I was excited that she sounded pretty good, and looked good….I was more excited that she seemed to feel good. She gave praise and thanks over and over to the ONE who truly brought her through her struggles. At one point, she made the comment that she wasn’t sure that she was going to make it through. Tears started to fall from my eyes. Not because her struggle was any different than the ones that we face, or that our loved ones face, but because at that point I saw the human side of her. It was that side that no amount of make-up, money, fame or fortune can deny. It made me sad for making numerous jokes about the "crack is whack" and "show me a receipt" ordeal. I almost wanted to hug her and tell her that it would be okay. This is the woman who sang the National Anthem so well that it took up residence on top ten R&B countdowns all over the nation. This is a woman that made the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack one of my all time favorite CD’s. I pray for the success of her new album but more importantly for the continued healing of her soul. The backlash that this woman is about to face is gonna take strength and lots of prayer.
Did you see her performance on GMA? What did you think? Is she back?

I'm glad that Whitney is making a come back. Let's face it, we all make mistakes. I didn't see her GMA performance but I have heard comments...some good, some bad. I think you are right Clutch, many of us probably did laugh at the crazy Bobby & Whitney antics. I think she'll be okay. All of what she has gone through has truly strengthened her character and she has quite a testimony to share. Whitney, YOU GO GIRL!!
ReplyDeleteClutch, I too am glad that Whitney is making a comeback. I think that she has been blessed with such a powerful voice and I pray that she continues to share her blessing with us, her fans. I thought it was great that her Mom and her daughter were there with her. I can't wait to see the interview on Monday on Oprah and hear her singing there. I thought she sounded wonderful!!
