"Momma's Here"

Anyway after the event an overwhelmed Gaga was lost in the room, just another wannabe singer with a deal and no hits in a big room full of twats. Whitney Houston saw this girl and beckoned her over. "It's alright," Whitney told the young singer. "Momma's here."

It seems odd that Whitney should have picked out this girl from the crowd and felt the need to talk to her. Maybe that night Whitney was just as lost as Gaga. Maybe she wasn't lost - maybe she was just fucking amazing. Maybe, like so many of the singers we lose too early, she was both in equal measures.
 
Remembering Whitney’s last public appearance, at Clive Davis’s 2012 pre-Grammy rehearsal.



Can’t believe it’s been ten years.

I know, it feels so much more recent. Still remember seeing the news of her passing well. It was a Sunday morning in the UK I believe when news broke here, and I turned on the TV to see one of the music channels playing the video for I'm Your Baby Tonight, and in the top corner it said "RIP Whitney Houston". Totally stunned.
 
Whitney dying so young really hit me hard. Whilst initially it looked like she had beaten her demons (the Oprah interview) the car crash tour and hit and miss performances all signalled otherwise. Whilst other stars had passed her death was so upsetting for me. Her talent and music were so incredible so 10 years later I still can’t quite believe it. I do hope one day she gets a better recognition via her legacy than what her estate have done so far. RIP WHITNEY

I remember it being something like 2am in a club and the DJ announced it. I'll always vividly remember a clear divide between the 18 year olds who were less familiar with her and therefore a bit bemused, whereas the 30somethings were in bits.
