You\u2019ve had your breath taken away listening to the final meteoric chorus of \u201cI Will Always Love You.\u201d<\/p>\n
There have been many powerful female voices in music history. But only one woman is known as \u201cThe Voice.\u201d<\/p>\n
My favorite singer of all time, Whitney Houston.<\/p>\n
\/*! elementor – v3.7.8 – 02-10-2022 *\/ I was introduced to Whitney\u2019s catalog when I discovered R&B and hip-hop in middle school. That was a lonely time for me, and I found solace in the music I listened to, especially Whitney\u2019s music. Though most of her songs fell somewhere in the pop category, there were always influences of R&B and gospel that characterized her style. Her mezzo-soprano force of a voice could move from soulful and gritty to angelic and operatic in mere seconds. At the top of her game, absolutely no one could out-sing her.<\/p>\n When I fell in love with Whitney\u2019s music, I fell in love hard. I remember one summer, on a beach trip with my family, I listened to every single album of hers during the twelve-hour car ride. I still wasn\u2019t tired of her by the end of the day. Anytime I was home alone, I would sing along to karaoke versions of songs like \u201cSaving All My Love For You\u201d and \u201cOne Moment In Time,\u201d wishing I could belt as effortlessly as she could. Every night, I stayed up late marveling at videos of her live performances. It\u2019s one thing to hear her magnificent voice on the record, but it\u2019s a completely different experience watching her live. She taught me what it means to have stage presence, to command an audience, and to improvise with creativity, freedom, and soul. There are many phenomenal examples of her live magic, but my absolute favorite is the ten-minute medley she performed at the 1994 American Music Awards \u2013 at which she took home eight trophies<\/a>, tying Michael Jackson for the most AMAs received in one night.<\/p>\n
