Today's celebrity is an international artiste who has worked so hard to gain the respect and loyalty of her fans. It was no ther person than Whitney Houston. A brief look into her background:She was born August 9, 1963. her mum, aunt and godmother were all prominent Soul singers: Cissy Houston, Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin. she started singing in church and her talent was discovered by Arista Record label's head, Clive Dans. She got married to Bobby Brown in fron tof 800 people by the marriage ended in 2006. She also dated Ray J- Brandy's brother. Rumours of drug use began in the 90s. she began cancelling shows and appearances. she wasn't giving her best at performances and when she featured in Bobby Brown's reality show, they both seemed like crazy coz of the looks and mannerisms. when confronted about her addiction, she said: 'crack is cheap, i don't do crack, it is whack'. She's the CEO of Whitney Houston Foundation for Children. she will appear again on Oprah Winfrey Show next month. 'I look to you' is her first and latest album since 2002.there was no better way for Tosyn to sign out on the show than to play one of Whitney's lastest songs: 'like i never left', in which she featured Akon.Much love,Ruthina Atinuke.
