I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Growing up, I was in all the musicals and everything... I'd come home from school and bash out a few Whitney Houston songs.
When I was really little, I loved Whitney Houston. I thought she was the prettiest thing in the world.
Music fathoms the sky.
My introduction of Whitney was that if there's going to be one performer for the next generation who combined the beauty and lyric phrasing of a Lena Horne with those Gospel fiery roots of an Aretha Franklin, it would be Whitney Houston.
I wish I had time to listen to music more.
You see the genius that Whitney Houston has as an interpreter of material, and you realize why genius can be applied to only a few interpretive performers. She finds meaning and depth and soulfulness in a song that often the writer and composer never really knew was there.
I love Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Brandi, Sade, Nat King Cole. I like the Beatles. I listen to a lot of that.
I love Whitney Houston. I absolutely love her song, 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody.'
What Whitney Houston has accomplished will never be accomplished. She's the most famous person on the planet as far as vocaling and her songs. So I'm very happy that I can sit here and say I had a chance to know her. And I'm still dazed that she's gone. But she lives because her music is so powerful.
I don't mind being compared to Whitney, there are people miles worse to be compared to.
