Whitney Houston: The Icon Remembered

On February 11, 2011, the undisputed queen of pop, Whitney died on a Beverly Hills hotel the same night that she was supposed to sing Clive Davis's grammy party. The world stopped and the media went crazy with speculations on how she died and dug up all her personal demons. I will not go into any details on how she died or any of her personal issues. This site will only honor her life by the beautiful musical legacy she has left behind. Whitney Houston is a arguably the best voice of our generation, a once in a lifetime talent. Nobody sang a song like Whitney, she could take a hit from an already established artist and make it her own and make you forget it was a remake. "I Will Always Love You", "I'm Every Woman", "The Greatest Love of All", "I Believe In You and Me" all remakes that are now Whitney classics. Thank you Whitney for being the soundtrack to our lives. My prayers go out to you and your family. Whitney's funeral will be held on Saturday February 18, 2011, at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark New Jersey.

BYE OPRAH: The End of an Era!!

I would like to salute and say farewell to the reigning Queen of all media, Oprah Winfrey. Unless you've been under a rock, you know that The Oprah Winfrey Show ended after 25 years of inspiring millions. Ms. Winfrey told us what to read, what to watch and even who to vote for as President. She used her platform to inspire others to live their best life. The woman has an empire. On May 23rd and 24th she aired her suprise farewell spectacular which featured A- list stars such as legends, Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Stevie Wonder, actors Halle Berry, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett, pop star Beyonce, Josh Groban and basketball legend Michael Jordan to name a few. On Wednesday May 25th, she aired her final show where she was the only guest and thanked her fans for 25 years of great television. Although the show has ended Ms. Winfrey will still be busy with the Oprah Winfrey Network.
