August 9th, 1963 - Feburary 11th, 2012My reading standard is 11.R.5.1. I have summarized this on a different document. I didn’t do the Fearbook for this check point. Instead I am doing a report/investigation/tribute to Whitney Houston. She was a recording artist, producer, model, and actress throughout her life. She will always be remembered by her family and her fans.
She was born in Newark, New Jersey on August 9th, 1963. She got into the music industry from her mother, Cissy Houston who was also producing and singing gospel/soul music with her cousins. Her music career accorded when she was singing in a church choir when she was a teen. She tour with her mother to nightclubs. She started to become a back-up singer with other bands. Whitney Houston’s first album was in 1985. Her album made the top 200 albums for fourteen non-consecutive weeks. Her single “Greatest Love Of All” was No. 1 for three weeks in a row. In 1986, she won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Fans thought that she should have won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, but she wasn’t eligible for the award. Whitney Houston won all types of Awards in her music career. She was a caring woman because she formed a program called The Whitney Houston Foundation for Children. It was a non-profit organization and it was for children who were homeless, had cancer, or other issues.
On July 18th, 1992, Whitney married R&B singer Bobby Brown. They soon had Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown, now 18 years old. She is Whitney’s only child and Bobby’s fourth. Throughout their marriage, Bobby was dealing with drug addiction and run-in with the law. During 1992, the movie The Bodyguard was released and the audience heard a single by Whitney Houston. This song is still remembered till today. The song is called “I Will Always Love You”. It soon won her a Grammy Award in 1994 for Song of the Year. Throughout the marriage of Bobby and Whitney, they went through tough ups and downs. Whitney started getting into drugs because of Bobby and she was changing into an addict with alcohol, cocaine, and prescription drugs.
The day before the Grammy Awards were suppose to be taken off, there was a mystery going on in the Beverly Hills Hotel. Whitney Houston’s mother found her daughter in the bathtub not responding to anything on Feburary 11th, 2012. She was pronounced dead at the scene when paramedics showed up. This left devastation to friends such as Ray J and other artist that sang with her, her family such as her daughter, and fans all over America. They want answers to what happen to Whitney Houston. Detectives and paramedics say that her death had dealt with the mix of prescription pills and alcohol. Until this day, there has been a couple of cause of death.
There have been a few articles for the mystery of her death. They say cause of death was drugs, but others say either suicide or murder. Murder isn’t really the huge topic though anymore. It’s either between suicide or “accidental” drug overdose. I read articles online that say she didn’t have any money because she always spent her money on cocaine. Another article said she killed herself because of money and that her secret life was coming out of being lesbian. No one knows the answer, but people do want the answer. I was reading an article at the store and it said that she was possible murder and she was also pregnant? I don’t know if I believe any of these articles because I think it’s just trying to confuse everyone. In my opinion I think it was drug overdose or suicide. I can’t really pick which one it was. No one will know until the autopsy comes back in a few more weeks.
Her death has left her daughter hospitalized twice. Her daughter went to her funeral drunk and high. Her actions have got her family worried about her. Her funeral was held in Newark, New Jersey. Whitney Houston will always be remembered by fans and family.
