Ya know, I was honestly not that big of a Whitney Houston fan. I never bought her albums over the years. This music is not really my cup of tea. The music that I mostly listen to is rock n’ roll and metal, but I will listen to a little bit of everything else. Even though I wasn’t much of a fan, I did respect her legacy and her talent herself. You couldn’t deny that she was a talented singer and actress.

Over the years, she would be everywhere. Everywhere you go, you’ll hear Whitney’s songs on the radio or watch one of her videos on TV. Somebody will even play one of her albums somewhere. I did liked her singing, it’s just that her music wasn’t really my style.

I did like “The Bodyguard” movie, and did like her Dolly Parton cover of that iconic song. I’m planning to cover that song, “I Will Always Love You” as a little tribute video to Whitney for youtube. Just to give it a try. See how it goes. Of course, I won’t be able to sing like Dolly or Whitney did it, I’m just going to give my own take on it.

I never did love songs. Never covered love songs or never wrote original love songs myself. Always been a little embarrassed and a little shy about it. I thought I would look pretty silly performing love songs, but I wouldn’t mind trying this song just for Whitney.

Love her or hate her, she was an inspiration for us all.

Her death was more evidence of what fame and fortune can do to you. It can destroy your life easily. Fame can turn you into an alcoholic and drug addict. I wouldn’t blame it on drugs and alcohol just yet though, for now it’s all speculation. People blaming Bobby Brown is not cool either. Bobby may have his problems with drugs & alcohol too, but Whitney had an addiction problem years ago before she even met him.

I’m pretty sure actor, Kevin Costner, is very devastated and heartbroken with the news too, her “Bodyguard” co-star. I’m sure he’ll speak out on her death soon, I think he’s still filming the new Superman movie, “Man of Steel”.

This is a sad loss in the music world. I’m honestly kind of pissed about it.
