I’ve always loved Whitney Houston and yes, in her life she did somethings she shouldn’t have. Including drugs with her husband. But that didn’t stop her from being a amazing singer and actor. I’ve always loved The Bodyguard and watched it with both my children.
Which is why in our this week our Homeschool Resource: Whitney Houston is who we will be studying in our classroom. Were also going to Karaoke tonight and if I didn’t sing so bad Charlie and I could perform I Will Always Love You. If we were to perform the song should we do Whitney’s version or Dolly Parton’s version and why?
Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer and actress. Nicknamed “The Voice“, she is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales of over 200 million records worldwide.[1] Houston has influenced many singers in popular music, and is known for her powerful, soulful vocals and vocal improvisation skills.[2][3] She is the only artist to have had seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, from “Saving All My Love for You” in 1985 to “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” in 1988. Houston enhanced her popularity upon entering the movie industry. Her recordings and films have generated both great success and controversy. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career and posthumously, including two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 16 Billboard Music Awards, and 28 Guinness World Records, as well as induction into the Grammy, Rhythm and Blues Music, and Rock and Roll halls of fame.
