I Go To Seek a Great Perhaps

Whitney Houston

Sorry for jumping on the bandwagon but I have to write something about this to get it off of my mind. 

I finished watching her interview on Oprah from awhile back and I have so much admiration for her and the life she tried to lead. As a singer, Whitney Houston is someone you kinda just have to admire. Not only for her vocal range and stardom but because of the power, thought and just mere effortlessness she put into all of her performances. What I hate is all the stuff that has happened to her, she didn’t deserve any of that crap. What I admire about her so much, and what really resonated with me after the Oprah interview was her faith in God and how faithful she was to him despite the bad times. How she would lock herself in her room and just read the bible and how what gave her strength to leave her abusive husband was a prayer to God. I mean, I couldn’t even fathom the shit she went through and the pain she felt and its just incredible how she could keep such a strong faith. She was an incredible woman and I really wish the best for her family. 

Secondly, I am growing to really just hate the music industry. Hate it. I hate how they have so much power over artist’s lives. I hate the public’s obsession with the personal lives of celebrities. I mean, what has this world come to? Our form of entertainment is watching the decay of other human beings lives. What’s worse is how the sales for all of Whitney’s music is going up just for the sake of making more money. Its sickening and it makes me really lose so much faith in this world.

I don’t really know what else to say but I really did adore Whitney Houston. I admire her so deeply and the impact she has made on the entertainers of today are unquestionable. My heart goes out to her family and I am really hoping this sparks something in the hearts of other people. Ah. Ok, no idea what else to say but I had to get that off my chest.
