Whitney Houston. Debut album. Released 1985. She was disqualified from being nominated as Best New Artist by Grammy awards that year because she had dueted on one song with Teddy Pendergrass in 1984. Many artists before and after Whitney had gone on to compete (and win) in that category despite their circumstances being the same as Whitney's were, and without a word from the bosses at Grammy-land. It's still a mystery why she was really disqualified. Sade won the Grammy. I've never heard such clarity as I hear in her voice in her early years. I think this album shows her talent as well as her real beauty on the cover. So natural. Before the world of celebrity, too much money, too much dysfunction and too much spending every last dime on crap that will kill you. The woman's voice was once out of this world, she was untouchable there for a while back then. This is just a special album, one track in particular for me, but I'm not telling you lot which one Seen her live twice. My Love is Your Love world tour / London - 1999 Nothing but Love world tour / London - 2010 You all know how much I love Emeli, but you'll never understand how much more I love Whitney, or how much I miss her.

Indeed, Laura, indeed. Her voice was/is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

(This is why, I think, we must ALWAYS lift people up rather than bring them down. You never know what is going on in the minds of others. Be generous with love, very generous.). Stepping off soapbox - but remember!

You all know how much I love Emeli, but you'll never understand how much more I love Whitney, or how much I miss her.

Two thumbs, Laura. She was a true talent. The business is brutal and I wouldn't wish that life on my worst enemy.

2 words: Jack White. From the White Stripes to the Raconteurs, to the Dead Weather, to his solo album, this guy is everything I love in music - the sound, the songwriting, the mystique, the rawness...Gad I just LOVE him!!!! I find him a fascinating person, and can listen to him for hours on end. When I listen to his music I feel GOOD. Every time. He's the ultimate bluesy rocker with AMAZING guitar skills and everything he does is brilliant. My fav tracks (from the different groups) are "Will There Be Enough Water", and "Love Interruption"....check him on YT. I die every time I listen . Oh! And his rendition of "Jolene" makes me weak....
