Whitney

This isn't really a rant. Just more of an opinion piece because I'm voicing yet another uninformed opinion.

So... Whitney Houston is finally doing a come back. I don't think anyone can deny her talent, her ability to belt out a song with voice discipline. At least she use to be able to do it. I've heard her range is not as good as it use to be, but those of us who can't sing probably won't even notice it. I do wish her well and hope things turn out for her. But.....

I use to admire her a lot. I gave her qualities that apparently she didn't possess. She must have had a great PR person behind her. I had trouble understanding what Bobby Brown meant when he said Whitney was more ghetto than he was, until I saw that infamous interview where she says "crack is whack" and she is trying to convince people she's not strung out. It didn't work. There was the ghetto bitch Bobby was talking about.

After that interview I felt I had a better understanding of why she was even with Bobby Brown. With Bobby, she could be herself.

She's got a lot of people supporting her comeback and I hope she does well, too. But she'll never be the same Whitney. Doesn't mean that's bad. Doesn't mean that's good. It just is.
