Rest in Peace: Whitney Houston

While the cause of death has not been yet confirmed, it has been reported that the legendary and great Whitney Houston has passed away at age 48.

This is such a sad loss, considering how badly we all wanted to see her succeed again. She had such a remarkable career filled with plenty of highs, but was overshadowed by her many lows. Let’s take a look back at some of the most memorable Whitney moments…

Introducing, Whitney Houston
Back in her prime, Whitney came out onto the scene with such fire and power. That voice, that face, and did I mention that voice?!!!
 
The Bodyguard
There’s no denying just how important this soundtrack and film was. While the film wasn’t a critical success, it went on to be a huge financial success, scoring up Grammy’s and even Academy Award nominations. Not to mention that it catapulted Whitney’s career into diva-stardom.

Cinderella
While everyone may consider The Bodyguard their favorite Whitney Houston film, this ABC version of the Broadway musical will always hold a special place in my heart. Because after all it's possible, things are happening every day…

The Comeback, Part 1
After years of taking a break to act, Whitney bust right back onto the scene with a new album. She scored hits with Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Wyclef Jean, Faith Evans, Kelly Price, and Rodney Jerkins just to name a few. Sadly this is where her personal life started to take over her career.

The Comeback, Part 2
Once her split with estranged husband Bobby Brown became official, it was time to get her life back in order. Her voice would never be the same as it used to, but there’s no denying the will-power she had to keep fighting and make something of herself.

We’ll never forget that voice, that beauty, that grace, and that diva persona that truly made her an icon for years to come. RIP Whitney. We love you and miss you…
