Whitney Houston: Another Music Legend That will be Remembered Forever

On Saturday, 11th February, 2012, Whitney Houston was found dead in her hotel room. It is still not clear as to how she died. Her sudden death has astonished millions of people worldwide. She was an icon and was loved by many. Whitney had a very soulful voice and sang many songs that people could relate to. She was truly talented and blessed with an amazing voice. It is sad to know that the world will not be hearing another song from her.

I was driving to KL Sentral to send off my hubby back to Ipoh after our honeymoon when I heard the heartbreaking news……….Whitney Houston has died! What, this can’t be true. How could this happen? Upon reaching home, I quickly clutched my laptop and googled to read online news about it to get more details as the scrap news on radio was vague. True enough, redundant news quickly flashed on TV news about the death of a Pop Star Legend. It is true that while singers have tried to copy Whitney Houston’s voice none have ever compared. With the loss of Whitney; a music legendary has gone and this is a sad time for all of her fans.

What could possibly happen? How could she die when she was just 48 years old? Of course there are rumors that she must have overdosed on drugs. Remember in the 1980’s & 1990’s when she was so sweet and beaming with enthusiasm. Then she got married to Bobby Brown and nobody could believe it. To the public eye they appeared to be complete opposites. Slowly, the drama of spousal abuse, and drug addiction surfaced in the media indicating her marriage is on the rocks. Apparently Whitney had problems with cocaine, marijuana, and pills. She sought help on many occasions by paying a visit to the rehab centre often to come out clean. Later she divorced Bobby Brown.

Most of the celebrity’s life tells us how important it is to be careful with whom you associate with (or fall in love with). I can’t help but think to myself, “Don’t fall into the trap of the glitz and glamour of showbiz industry”. It takes you nowhere but down the drains. I don’t know what really went down in their marriage but I can’t help but put a little blame on Bobby Brown. Her persona changed after her marriage.

This year Grammy Awards lost a star and all that is left now is only a cloud of sadness. Whitney would have been there but her life was taken away too early. As for myself I will remember her with the beauty she brought in her voice. She was an absolutely gorgeous woman and I will always remember her for the beauty she contributed to the world. I just wish there had been a different ending to this story!

May her soul rest in peace.
