Today's topic is Whitney Houston - Speaking for Self

We don't see the whole aspect of a person's life in Hollywood.
But we know that with Whitney Houston, things were good and not so good.
There are gaps sometimes in between.
Though she was a mega-star.
Though she was a queen.

This was a woman they say shared an isolation with Michael Jackson.
They would visit each other and sit in silence.

Whitney was asked how she wanted to be remembered.
She said, " They are going to remember me how they want to remember me anyway. They are going to write books. They are going to write this, and they are going to write that, and everybody is going to have their own idea."

(singing)
Each individual has got to live so they will know.
Not telling what you heard.
You can't express the spoken words.

No one can preach the life we live.
No one can tell the way we feel.
It's got to come from deep inside.
We got to speak for ourselves.
