I can't remember a time that I wasn't in love with Whitney; I remember watching The Bodyguard and being in awe, I remember being excited every time she was on TV singing live, I've often defended her and proclaimed her the best singer in the world because quite frankly, I think at a time she was (and her only new contender in my eyes is Beyonce, but given her different style/genre, I'd say they're equally fantastic). I've never not adored her - she's very much the reason why when X Factor comes around every year I'd rather watch a singer than an entertainer. Talent like hers is just inspiring.
Tonight I went from a text, to Twitter, to Facebook, to Google in the hope of finding something that said it was purely a rumour, but then switched on BBC News and let it sink in that the beautiful, gifted, one-of-a-kind star Whitney Houston has died aged only 48.
With undoubtedly one of the best voices in the world - if not the best - and an astounding career including, most memorably, the single I Will Always Love You and her starring role in one of my all time favourite movies The Bodyguard, Whitney was a huge success. Her personal life was less positive, but no matter what went on or what transpires as the cause of her untimely death: I will always love her.
RIP Whitney, and thank you for being the soundtrack to so much of my life.
