  • Growing up in New Jersey

5.0 out of 5 stars I miss her singing
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2023

Whitney Elizabeth Houston (1963 – 2012) an American singer and actress. Houston is one of the bestselling music artists of all time, with over 200 million records sold worldwide. Rolling Stone named her the second-greatest singer of all time. One of my favorite singers, known for her powerful, soulful vocals, vocal improvization skills, and use of gospel singing techniques in pop music. It is a tragedy her life was cut short, apparently from drug abuse.

What I did like here was a good overview about Whitney. There was a lot I didn't know. The text ran smoothly and I never was bored while reading.

She was a blessing to the world. Being so young during the 2000s and when she unfortunately died in 2012 I never knew much about the incidents that happened in that time frame but reading about it broke my heart

OMG, who knew !!!! We all followed this legendary singer and her career. Listening, and I do mean really listening to Whitney’s music was a pleasure.
For someone who “had it all” (or do we believed) her fame was ultimately overcome by her disastrous relationship with Bobby Brown.
From humble beginnings to super stardom, Whitney Houston’s live seemed enviable. This most informative missive is one that needs read.

Whitney Houston rose to stardom quuickly, but fell just as quickly. Her abuse of drugs cost her her career and ultimately her life. Unfortunately this is all too common an occurrence. I learned some things I did not know about Whitney, and I enjoyed reading this short biography.

3.0 out of 5 stars ...brief glimpse ....
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2022

This is a brief glimpse into a complex life (to fit in to the hour's read?)
There's some details of her addiction to drugs - but nothing much about what drove her to that state - or her personal wellbeing or circumstances that were the cause.
In fact - there's not much at all about her mental state or dealing with personal issues ….
