Lisa Stansfield's "All Around The World". I posted that last night. I smile every time I hear that song, and the spoken word part at the beginning. "All Woman" is pretty awesome, too.
Skylar could preach about the amount of careers Whitney killed back when she first came out.
White audiences LOVED her to boot.
It's crazy how much black people criticized Whitney's singing early in her career, but yet they kept sending her songs to the top 10 on the R&B charts.
Sister, don't go saying that out loud.
Mariah's actual head voice was and still is HORRIBLE.
That was the only weakness in her voice.
Whitney had one of the best head voices ever.
It was just...
I would agree, and then Mariah kinda defines the whistle register.

Remember when they postponed the video for so long because they were afraid US R&B audiences would disown her for being white?

Black people get on my nerves sometimes.
The way they booed Whitney for winning over (I think it was Anita) at the Soul Train awards was a MESS.
Why is there such a stigma with black artists doing pop music?
They are different singers. Whitney was a better belter. I think Mariah had a better falsetto. Also Whitney was a balladeer/church kid at heart so when she went all out it was glorious. Her belting was perfectly controlled.
I think I read somewhere that she used to write here and there but Clive had other plans.
I wish Skylar was still posting. He used to FUME over Clive choosing Whitney over Phyllis.
Even claims Whitney had Phyllis killed
Tell me why I'm just now finding out Kesh and Luke were ****ing? I thought that was just a SYG drag.
Whitney wrote a lot of songs, but Clive rejected them and basically told her that the songs were ****
