Like the rest of the world, I was completely shocked hearing the news of Whitney Houston’s death on Saturday. What a tragic loss.
As a teenager, I spent countless hours singing into my hairbrush in front of the mirror and coming up with dance moves to all kinds of popular music, but I distinctly remember trying to hit and hold the long notes just like Whitney in her mega hits, “Saving All My Love for You”, “So Emotional” and the incomparable “I Will Always Love You”. It was never going to happen, but was very fun trying and her songs will forever be a part of the fabric of my youth.
Whitney’s voice is golden and no matter what personal demons she may have faced, she paved the way for so many young stars today and there is no doubt her talent will be missed.
Yesterday, while visiting my sister we had an impromptu Whitney session and even Lucas got in the groove.
RIP Whitney.

You introduced W.H.’s music to me and I remember dancing to her songs with you on so many occasions. This post and video (I love it) are lovely tributes to a “Reine de la Soul”. RIP Whitney.
Yes, those were the days I remembered as soon as I heard of her passing. So sad. Such an incredible talent.
I love this. That was a perfect tribute.
(“I Will Always Love You” was my belting song, too.)
We listened and danced to a lot of Whitney yesterday and it bittersweet, but so fun to see Lucas enjoying her music too.
my heart is so sad about this. I too grew up with Whitney and our world will feel a little colder without her beautiful voice in it.

There will never be another Whitney. 🙁
What a fun, sweet way to pay tribute. It’s so sad.
I had forgotten about a lot of her classics. We had fun listening, dancing and singing along!
What a great tribute . . . and such a sad day. I’m wondering if this is what my parents generation went through when Janis Joplin smiled and turned away.
Yeah. Probably. These musical icons define us in a lot of ways, at least their songs are the soundtracks to our lives, especially if they are mega super stars.
Such sad news. But such a great video. Connor joined in, and made me watch it twice. 🙂
Oh, that made me smile.
We had fun rocking out. 🙂
So fun!:-) XOXO Loved heading down the Whitney Houston song train with you guys! RIP Whitney.
It was fun. Glad Lucas is a Whitney fan too. xoxo
What a way to honor Whitney. Go Lucas!
He’s got some good moves, doesn’t he? 🙂 Sad day.
That was such a cute video of Leah and Lucas! My fave WH song is “I Wanna Dance With Somebody Who Loves Me…” It actually reminds me of the movie “13 Going on 30” more than it reminds me of the 80s. I love that movie and have watched it zillions of times with my niece.
🙂
Such a sad story of an amazing singer.
Lucas has some awesome moves!!
