“God didn’t give you this gift to keep to yourself.” Entertainers reflect on the impact of Whitney Houston’s music – Wednesday night on the premiere of SuperstarABC: WhitneyHouston and streaming next day on Hulu.
In New Jersey, Houston learned how to sing through her church’s gospel choir. Friends said the church is where Houston realized that she could move people with her powerful voice.Legendary singer Whitney Houston dominated pop music for more than three decades and, to this day, she remains one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
“My mother and father raised us with the fear of God, but I loved church. It was a family thing and the singing, the praise, the joyful noise we made unto God was amazing," Houston said. “She did not want to be a big star and I used to tease her and tell her God did not give her this gift to keep to yourself,” said Darlene Love, a singer and Houston’s godmother .
Singer songwriter Narada Michael Walden says that Davis’ “genius” was being able to determine the elements each artist needed to be able to “hit on different levels” with audiences around the world. Houston said in interviews that she felt a lot of pressure around the release of the movie and that it was Brown who helped her get through its production.
Houston’s friends say that she eventually became physically and emotionally exhausted by her work and began to take breaks from singing. Those close to her say that the pressure from being in the public’s eye amid the strain of her relationship culminated in her eventual drug use. "First of all, let's get one thing straight," she told Sawyer in 2002."Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let's get that straight, OK? We don't do crack. We don't do that. Crack is wack."
