My Life in Chronological Whitney Order

When you talk to people about what kind of music you grew up hearing, Whitney Houston was one of them for me.  I can remember Whitney, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, just some amazing R&B artist.  Kinda random when I think about it, but it's what stands out.  I not only remember her when I was little, but quite honestly throughout my life.  I've decided to do a timeline of my life through Whitney songs from beginning to end.

First up...no words are really necessary for this one.  Let's dance!


This next one I was about 10 when it came out.  Babysitters introduced me to MTV, and I totally remember this video.  How much am I wishing I had a picture to share with y'all of how I pretty much replicated her hairstyle waaaaay past the point it was cool.  We're talking frizzed out perm, huge bows and all!


Starts getting harder here, because I was obsessed with the movie Bodyguard.  Drive in movie 6th grade.  Never will forget it.  Here's a couple from the movie, but let's be honest, the whole soundtrack was money.


And of course..



The movie Waiting to Exhale is next.  It was a pretty good soundtrack.  "Exhale" was the one that must comes to mind.


In high school she came out with "My Love is Your Love."   My best friend, Katie, and I rocked this album all summer long.  We had some of your typical boy drama, so we particularly loved this one.
"It's Not Right, But It's Okay"


Another good one...


Around the same time she did a duet with another one of my favorites growing up, Mariah Carey.  Although this song came out at the same time as her "My Love Is Your Love" album, for some reason it reminds me of college more.  I can remember my college roommate and I singing this as a duet with our fake mics and all.  Ashlie actually does have a voice, so she may have actually been doing it some justice!


Whitney started struggling around this time, and kinda fell off the radar.  The only songs that I really remember were from her Christmas album.  It's hard to find videos from the last years, since she wasn't preforming very often.  Here's what I could find.


I am saddened by her passing.  It seems she really struggled through the last several years of her life.  She was truly a talent, and impacted so many lives.  Praying for her family and friends! Thanks for the memories Whitney!
