Whitney Huston was a pop star and the Queen of R&B. Her singing career lasted for over 3 decades. She acted in several films and tv shows. She was in several commercials. She received many awards in music. She is one of the greatest singers of all time! B4 all of that she was a model. Her husband was Bobby Brown and they had a daughter named Bobbi Kristina Brown. Whitney died on 2/11/2012. There are a lot of rumors surrounding here death. Her daughter died 3 years later.
Whitney Houston was born on 8/9/1963 in Newark, NJ. Her parents were in the entertainment industry. Her mom got 2 Grammys for singing. One of her brothers was a basketball player. Then he became a background singer for Whitney. He went on several of her tours. She has another brother named Michael Huston. He introduced her to drugs in the 80's. He didn't know it would kill her because drugs didn't seem so bad in the 80's. She is the first cousin to Marie Donnie Warwick. She was close friends to Mariah Carey.
When she was 11 she joined a choir. Her mom taught her how to sing. When she was a teenager sometimes she would go to nightclubs and listen to her mom sing. She would sing with her mom on certain nights. When she was 15 she sang background for Lou Rawls and Chaka Khan. A photographer saw her singing with her mom and offered her a job as a model. She became the most popular teen model in the US at the time. She also sang on some tracks of other artists during her modeling.
Clive Davis signed Whitney to his label after he saw her singing in a nightclub. She became a guest on a tv show with Clive later that year. Her first album was called Whitney Huston it was a great success. The album went diamond in the US! It sold 25 million copies worldwide. It helped her win a Grammy and Emmy. She won 7 American Music Awards in 86-87. She also won an MTV Video Music Award. The song Greatest Love of All was nominated for the Record of the Year. I sang that song when I graduated from pre-school. Her 2nd album was called Whitney. It was a great success. People loved it all around the world. She received many accolades for it. She was the 3rd highest paid entertainer in 88. When she was touring in Europe she did a performance to celebrate Nelson Mandala 70th birthday.
In 1989 she made a non-profit organization that helped kids around the world. She was loved by all kinds of people like Michael Jackson. Her 3rd album was called I'm Your Baby Tonight. It was more rhythmic than the previous 2 albums. The album went quadruple platinum in the US and sold 12 million worldwide. She had a private conversation in the white house with Papa Bush about the problems young people face. She sang the Star Spangled Banner at Super Bowl 25.
She did a free concert for veterans of the First Gulf War. In the 80's she dated a football player and Eddie Murphy. She married Bobby Brown in 1992. Her career fell off in the late 90's and picked up in the mid-2000's.
The first movie she started in was Bodyguard. The movie is about her being protected from a stalker. The stalker was a threat to her life so she found someone to protect her. They became romantically involved. She almost got shot on stage, but the bodyguard took a bullet for her and shot the shooter.
Cinderella was the 4th movie she was in. She was the fairy godmother. This movie was similar to the original Cinderella, but it had a multi-racial. She sang in this film.
Her final movie was Sparkle. It was about 3 sisters forming a girl group. It was a remake and it was based on the greatest lady group of time: The Supremes. Whitney was the mother of the sisters.
She had cameos on a lot of TV shows. I think she did performances in most of them. She did commercials for big brands. Such as Coca-Cola, AT&T, and Disney World. She was on a reality tv show. It was called Being Bobby Brown.
Modeling
She started modeling when she was 16. When she was 18 she modeled for Seventeen Magazine. She modeled bathing suits. She had a "million dollar smile." She was cute as a button.
She was married to Bobby Brown 1992-2006. They had one daughter together. Her name was Bobbi Kristina Brown. The marriage was rough. There was domestic abuse, drugs, etc. They would have been better off never marrying.
She died in a hotel room on 2/11/2012. I was heartbroken. It seems like she died of an overdose. Clive Davis had a party on the first floor even though Whitney corpse was upstairs. He knew that and had the party anyway. That makes me furious.
Death of an Angel
Bobbi Kristina died in July of 2015. She died of an overdose. She had a lot of drugs in her system. She was taken to a hospital and died in hospice months later.
Whitney Huston is one of my favorite R&B singers. I love her music. I wish she didn't die. Writing this post cause me great sadness. She should still be here. She will be missed.
