![R.I.P. Whitney Houston — Whitney Houston passed away earlier this afternoon (February 11, 2012). She was pronounced dead in her Beverly Hills hotel after failure to resuscitate. Though it was shocking news, to many it was not surprising given her history of drug abuse. She was 48 years old.
I guess I’m coming to that age where death of musicians [though untimely] are actually meaningful to me. I grew up on artists like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. These were the artists that formed my foundation of musicical taste—as a lot of people’s introduction to music is whatever it is their parents listen to.
She will be missed and remembered as an icon. A woman with an amazingly pure voice and heart-breaking personal demons. A true talent. The ideal singing voice filled with genius moments of power and control. A voice that could split open a song and show you the honestly of it’s intentions.
Singing ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ and making you feel that music is a love that she wants to share. Words of conviction and passion in both intamacy and music. Singing ‘Learning To Love Yourself; It Is The Greatest Love Of All’ and inpiring self-empowerment by teaching you that you have to accept the person you are to be completely fullfilled. Singing the promise of ‘I Will Always Love’ stretched out in long enough notes that make you vulnerable and able to trust every word sung thereafter.
Quite possibly the purist voice I will here in my lifetime. Everyone has their personal battles, but inspite of negative associations with the name Whitney Houston, she will always be a legend and a true icon in music. Rest in peace.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9ih26fd11qanddoo1_500.jpg)
