RIP: Whitney Houston

A sad day indeed. One of the best vocalists in a generation. She reclaimed the right of the voice as being the most important part of the song in a time when techno and other generas would have had it otherwise.

 

Those powerhouse crystal clear and meaningful vocals will be missed :(

It's ironic that Ozzy Osbourne has outlived Whitney Houston.







Mad props to her, for actually singing. None of that Autotune BS

 

 

Yeah alot of todays so-called talent could learn something from her. I'm sick of watching bimbos lip-sync while surrounded by dancing fools.

I just hope it doesn't turn into another Johnny Cash type of thing where everybody came out of the woodworks about how they've always been a Johnny Cash fan but couldn't name three Johnny Cash tunes other than Fulsom Prison, Ring of Fire and his remake of Hurt.

I couldn't help commenting yesterday afternoon when I heard one of her songs on a local station...that we ignored her for years, and now all the media are scrambling to make a buck off her death.

 

Seems relevent:

 

When are you gonna come down

When are you going to land

I should have stayed on the farm

I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever

I didn't sign up with you

I'm not a present for your friends to open

This boy's too young to be singing the blues

chorus-

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

 

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then

I bet that'll shoot down your plane

It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement

There's plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who ain't got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

[repeat chorus]
