Whitney Houston - The Soul-Pop Diva Will Always Love You

Whitney Houston – The Soul-Pop Diva Will Always Love You

(New
York, NY) Whitney Houston is inarguably one of the greatest singers in
the entire history of music, yet she can’t get a break or pardon from
the press, bloggers and tabloids lately as she is currently performing
around the world on her “Nothing But Love” Tour. While making recent
stops in Britain, critics have been very harsh. For the record, Divas
such as Ms. Houston aren’t made; they’re born with the God gift to bring
down the house with their vocal range and power. Whitney is evidently
one of these rare talents that come very few and far apart amongst the
crowded music scene. Her tour is appropriately titled “Nothing But Love”
because it’s all about the love that she has for her craft, music and
fans.

After going through many tumultuous personal battles over
the past several years which include overcoming a drug addiction and
recovering from an abusive marriage to R&B singer, Bobby Brown;
Whitney has made major triumphs in the most recent years of her life.
She credits getting strength from prayer, the unconditional but tough
love from her mom Cissy Houston and the love and support from her #1
fan, her daughter Bobbi Kristina. Her fans are loyal supporters and have
been waiting for her pinnacle second rise to claim her seat at the
table of the elite Queen Diva ranking order with the successes of her
latest CD release, “I Look To You” and the 25th year Deluxe Anniversary
Edition remastered release of her 1985 self-titled debut album “Whitney
Houston” which includes extra tracks and a bonus DVD of music videos,
interviews and memorable and classic performances of the Soul-Pop Diva.

Whitney
Houston is a living legend that has won countless awards and accolades
throughout the many years. She holds the incredible record in the
Guinness Book of World Records as music’s “Most Awarded Female Artist of
All Time” with an amazing tally of 411 awards. She also holds both the
biggest-selling U.S. single of all-time (her career defining rendition
of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You”) and one of the top 10
best-selling albums of all time (The Bodyguard soundtrack) to her many
credits.

Whitney Houston has sold a remarkable combined total of
170 million plus, of albums, singles and video/DVDs worldwide. With all
of the major accomplishments garnered throughout her spectacular career,
she has established a benchmark for superstardom that quite frankly
will never be surpassed in the tradition of fellow gifted
singer/entertainer; the late great King of Pop, Michael Jackson. They
both influenced all vocalists, male and female alike for well over 25
years now. All major vocalist in the music world, credit Whitney Houston
as being their #1 influence for them while honing their craft. Veteran
Modern Contemporary Jazz Saxophonist/Songwriter/Producer Alfonzo
Blackwell paid tribute to Whitney Houston’s artistry with his rendition
of “I Have Nothing” on his 1995 debut CD release “Let’s Imagine”, from
the juggernaut hit movie soundtrack for the blockbuster (The Bodyguard).
Blackwell stated, “Whitney Houston, the incomparable songstress has the
staying power to endure and her voice and music is a testament of that.
Her mark on modern music has left an indelible legacy that will live on
for future generations to marvel and honor. She has touched the human
spirit with her vocal instrument. I sought out to deliver the passion
and tonality of her human voice with my instrumental performance of her
classic song “I Have Nothing”. As a songwriter and producer; when I
compose some of my ballads and soul/pop songs, I mainly have her voice
in mind as the inspiration, thus she has made a huge impact on my
approach to my songwriting and compositions. “Every time I Cry”, “That
Feeling”, “Precious Love”, “Your Touch” and “Missing You” are just a few
songs that I’ve written, arranged and recorded over the years with
Whitney in mind. I would be honored to work with her on future
projects.”

Houston is now motivated by the amazing outpour of
support from her long-time relationship with music impresario, Clive
Davis and her numerous celebrity friends which include the top
musicians, entertainers, actors, athletes, spiritual leaders and life
coaches in the world. Whitney Houston is a survivor and she will weather
the storm she’s currently facing in the media to prevail over the sea
of her critics. She will always have “Nothing But Love” for her fans and
supporters. “Keep moving forward…” remarked Blackwell from a recent
statement he made sending encouraging words to Ms. Whitney Houston.
