Whitney Elizabeth Houston: Gone Too Soon

A Tribute to a beautiful Lady with a beautiful soul... A melodious voice was her forte With perfect range she could sing anything From nursery rhymes to R & B love songs She rendered each one with perfect pitch Her voice seemed to sparkle; as clear as a bell Thrilling audiences in church; filling concert halls Nurtured by her Mother who sang Gospel tunes Always her mentor at home and on world tours Her gift was eagerly shared with young and old How love for her expanded our globe This journey was not always kind to her She was taken to places she’d never been And the world was saddened by the change Fans and family prayed and she survived the fall She came back broken; we cried and loved her anyway Whitney Elizabeth Houston, another genius at her craft… gone too soon!!! RIP! ~*~ 02/11/12

We all have to go sooner or later, but this fine lady left us way too soon. Her recordings will always be around, but we will never see and hear her live in concert. Perhaps she will have a number of impersonators mimicking her sound and style in the near future.

A sad day in music... She is an Icon that has left us to early... overcome by the demons of life she never really got her soul back on top.... RIP Whitney.... I fell in love with your voice and beauty in 'The Bodyguard".... great dedication.. luv n hugs Michael

I didn't know Whitney died! Wow, this is a crazy way to find out. I just turned on the news to find out it is true. A touching tribute you have written.
