Houston began singing at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, as a child and became a background vocalist while in high school. She was one of the first black women to appear on the cover of Seventeen after becoming a teen model in 1981. With the guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis, Houston signed to the label at age 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney Houston (1985) and Whitney (1987), both peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and are among the best-selling albums of all time. Hit singles from the albums, including "How Will I Know", "Greatest Love of All" and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", established her as a catalyst in the acceptance of black female artists on MTV. Her third studio album, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990), yielded two Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, the title track and "All the Man That I Need". Houston's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XXV in 1991 received widespread media coverage.
Houston made her acting debut with the romantic thriller film The Bodyguard (1992), which despite its mixed reviews became the tenth highest-grossing film to that date. Its soundtrack won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and remains the bestselling soundtrack album of all time. It generated multiple hit singles, including "I Have Nothing", "I'm Every Woman" and "I Will Always Love You"; the latter won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year, spent a then-record 14 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and became the best-selling single by a woman in music history. Subsequently, she went on to star in the films Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996), and she recorded their respective soundtracks; the former scored her last Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)", while the latter, produced by Houston herself, became the bestselling gospel album of all time. As a film producer, she produced multicultural movies and series such as Cinderella (1997) and The Princess Diaries and The Cheetah Girls.
Houston's first studio album in eight years, My Love Is Your Love (1998), spawned several hit singles, including the title track, "Heartbreak Hotel", "It's Not Right but It's Okay" and the Academy Award-winning Mariah Carey duet "When You Believe". Following the success, she renewed her contract with Arista for $100 million in 2001, one of the biggest recording deals of all time. However, her personal problems began to overshadow her career. Her 2002 studio album, Just Whitney, received mixed reviews, while her drug use and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown received widespread media coverage. After divorcing Brown, Houston returned to the top of the Billboard 200 chart with her final studio album, I Look to You (2009). In February 2012, Houston accidentally drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, with heart disease and cocaine use as contributing factors. News of her death coincided with the 2012 Grammy Awards, which took place the day following her death, and was covered internationally. Her life and career were dramatized in the 2022 biopic I Wanna Dance with Somebody. Her assets amounted to $250 million, earned over a 25-year career.

Yeah
Me, hey

"I'm Every Woman" is a song that speaks to the power and versatility of women. Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan take turns singing verses and then come together for the powerful chorus, declaring that they can do anything and everything that is asked of them. The song is about women being their own unique selves but also being able to adapt to any situation that comes their way.
At its core, the chorus is an anthem for women of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate their own womanhood. It is a testament to the fact that women are capable of being many things: nurturing caretakers, passionate lovers, and successful professionals. The verses in the song describe the singer's abilities to read minds, cast spells, and mix potions, all of which are metaphors for the many skills and talents that women possess.
One of the most powerful lines in the song is, "I can make a rhyme of confusion in your mind." This speaks to the mystical and magical qualities that women have been associated with throughout history. It also suggests that women have a unique ability to understand the emotional complexities of others and to provide comfort and support in times of need.
Overall, "I'm Every Woman" is a celebration of the diversity, strength, and beauty of women. It reminds us that women have been breaking barriers and shattering glass ceilings since the dawn of time and that we should continue to celebrate and support one another in all of our endeavors.

@BRIANR.HARVEYHarvey
Ms whitney houston, is a legend. A leaning tower, of absolute greatness.
Pure and simple.
Ps.... an enormous powerhouse of talent like this. Like hers.
Will never allow a thing, like death, from any soul driven, life cycle. To diminish, the extremely empathic passion. For always giving to her audience. Everything they asked for.
Which was great music.
And she never let the fans down either.
Well, at least not until right before, the end.
Well, that's all the drugs and ellicitly expensive nightlife for ya!
RIP
DEAR. WHITTY.
WHITNEY HOUSTON.
✝️ ..." ❤ "... ✝️
@danii6752
Everybody speaks about hers heavenly voice but nobody mentions how beautiful she is. She is one of the most beautiful women ever walked this planet.
@deorajrampersad5288
She looks so beautiful,happy & glowing with her then pregnancy and upcoming motherhood,she was in her prime and was @ the peak of her career and her life back then,sigh,wish she could have avoided all the bad stuff that came her way,spoiled & eventually destroyed her and her baby girl.Only God truly knows what misfortune that befell and ruined her.SMH.I pray that she and her daughter are resting comfortably & safely in the arms of Jesus Christ,they deserved it.
@halroxdynasty8683
Period
@TyeArtisik
We know she's lovely
@ladennayoung2939
Yes. She was a beautiful woman. She was a model before she was a professional singer and actress from my understanding.
@carltonwalton9819
I’ve always thought so!
@christineperez7562
Whitney Houston was pregnant and the happiest she's ever been. She was so proud to be a mother.
@Disney65Fan
And her daughter ended her life 2 years after Whitney Houston in the same matter.
RiP to the Queen Of RnB. Gone but not forgotten.
@TheWisher68
I thought she looked preg in one scene, aw thats so beautifu!! She celebrated being a woman in such a gorgeous way!!
@divorce.lyinnercircle5193
It's just heartbreaking that now Whitney and Bobbi Christina are gone.
