JUST ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WHITNEY HOUSTON. SHE IS ALSO IN THE LIST OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SINGERS. I RESPECT WHITNEY VERY MUCH FOR HER COURAGE TO COME BACK INTO THE HARSH HOLLYWOOD LIMELIGHT, AFTER HER BATTLE WITH DRUGS.

AS I KNOW, MUSIC IS AN ADDICTION IN ITSELF, AND SO IS STARDOM. SO IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME THAT WHITNEY IS BACK. I MEAN SHE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME. I WOULDN'T JUST HANG MY LEGACY UP TO DRY EITHER.

HOWEVER, HOUSTON HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVING THE ATTENTION THAT I'M SURE SHE WANTED WHEN SHE AGREED TO RETURN TO THE PUBLIC. SINCE DAY ONE OF HER COMEBACK, WHITNEY HAS BEEN PUT UNDERNEATH AN MICROSCOPE AND HAS BEEN WATCHED CLOSELY. MAYBE PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE THE EFFECTS OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL ON THE VOCAL CORDS, BUT IT'S NOT PRETTY. SO OF COURSE SHE'S NOT GOING TO SOUND LIKE THAT "HE'S ALL THE MAN THAT I NEED," "I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY," AND "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU" WHITNEY. SHE'S GOING TO SOUND LIKE A NEW WHITNEY WITH SOME REMNANTS OF THE OLD. AND THOSE REMNANTS ARE HER PASSIONS FOR MUSIC AND LIFE.

SURE, I WOULDN'T HAVE ENCOURAGED FOR WHITNEY TO START UP A TOUR SO SOON, DUE TO THE PROGRESSION OF HER VOICE, BUT THE MUSIC BUSINESS IS BUSINESS SO WHAT CAN YOU DO? IF YOU'RE NOT IN WHITNEY'S SHOES ALL YOU CAN DO IS SIT BACK AND JUST RESPECT HER. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT COULD BE MUCH WORST. SHE IS JUST ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES WHO WE HAVEN'T LOST FROM DRUGS.
