今晩在青年会運動回來,突聞漂亮的女歌手雲妮侯斯頓香魂消逝，享年只得48歲。我還記得80年代,Whitney Houston 的清秀嗓子震蕩娱樂世界,一首 Saving All My Love For You 瘋魔全球。她全盛時期曾在流行榜名列前矛連續七星期,又和性格演員 Kevin Coster 合拍了The Bodyguard影片,事業名氣蒸蒸日上。
無奈,年青的雲妮侯斯頓,就像 Amy Winehouse 一樣,逃不出影壇音樂界的酒藥魔爪,毒癮纒身,多次在觀众面前失声,臺上表演毎况愈下,淪落在「過氣」歌手行列。
但在最近数年,雲妮侯斯頓在rehab戒毒成功,与壊蛋Bobby Brown離婚,她决心要跟隨歌后 Etta James走過的掙扎路程,返邪歸正,戒毒後的雲妮侯斯頓声音容貌也有顯注的改善,她開始灌唱新作品,似乎大有捲土重來之勢。
Whitney Houston 逝世這噩耗實在來得太突然,令很多支持Whitney Houston 的歌迷都感到黯然神傷。
唉!!自從 Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Etta James 相繼離場之後,今晩雲妮侯斯頓的不遲而別,又令世界樂壇少了一把美麗的金嗓子!!
"Saving All My Love For You" lyrics
A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family, and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist, being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you
It's not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you
You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
Cause tonight is the night, for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
No other woman, is gonna love you more
Cause tonight is the night, that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah I'm saving all my lovin
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
For you, for you
【維基百科】“..... 雲妮·伊麗莎白·侯斯頓（Whitney Elizabeth Houston，1963年8月9日－2012年2月11日）是位曾獲得格林美獎的美國R&B歌手、演員、電影製作人與並曾擔任模特兒。她以強而有力的嗓音、一字多轉音的感染力與寬廣的音域為世人所熟知，並成為國際樂壇天后。在 1980 年代，雲妮是少數能夠在 MTV 獲得大量的播出機會的黑人藝人之一，而那時是男性為主的搖滾時代。AOL Black Voices 曾說「雖然她的成功如同避雷針 (lightning rod) 一般，但總是能夠從她那優美且有力的聲音中得到證明。」而封她為 "The Voice" 更是使她聞名。她是唯一在美國擁有兩張最佳銷售前 35 名的專輯的女性歌手，更是唯一擁有在告示牌流行榜 (Billboard) 連續七週冠軍單曲紀錄的歌手。雲妮在全世界有超過一億 7000 萬張專輯的銷售紀錄。 根據 Ebony 雜誌，雲妮被認為是 20世紀中，世界最迷人的黑人女性前 100 名之一。
但自從在事業高峰時期嫁給 R&B 歌手 Bobby Brown 之後，使用禁藥與婚姻暴力的傳聞致使其唱片銷售量和公眾形象下降。在小報上出現有關對於她個人的麻煩事討論的次數，遠多於其音樂上的表現。雲妮開始不像一般歌手常會被看見或是聽見，她也停止在公開場合現身。雲妮在 2005年與 2006年接受兩次藥物治療計劃。在第二次（2006年）成功的完成治療計劃之後，雲妮與 Bobby Brown 離婚並且得到女兒 Bobbi Kristina 的監護權。並與音樂界的重量級人物、親近的朋友，以及良師益友 Clive Davis 一起，於2009年9月雲妮侯斯頓發行她睽違7年的最新作品。
2012年2月11日，公關人員佛斯特（Kristen Foste）表示雲妮侯斯頓已經去世，享年48歲，但其死亡原因和地點，目前並不清楚。....”
According to Wikipedia re cause of Whitney Houston's death:
"…… On March 22, 2012, the Los Angeles County coroner's office reported the cause of Houston's death was (accidental) drowning and the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use". The office stated the amount of cocaine found in Houston's body indicates she used the substance shortly before her death. Toxicology results revealed additional drugs in her system: Benadryl, Xanax, marijuana and Flexiril. The manner of death was listed as an "accident". …."

晚年如斯坎坷可能是個開脫！
Rest in Peace Whitney ！
SBB:
她的死亡原因仍是在調查中,是她自己尋求的解脱,還是意外暴斃呢?
在她的歌唱生涯旅途,死亡能開脱什麼,那就更不知道了。
Whitney的開脫是不用再被困在人身的軀殼！
可惜可惜。
物以類聚，
又亙相影響，
只恨她身邊損友太多了。
Remark:
死了不一定解脫，
誰說"靈體"沒有煩惱！！！
哈哈哈。。。
新鮮人:
同意!!
藝壇人流複雜, 近朱者赤,近墨物者黒, 雲妮•侯斯頓嫁了個壊蛋老公,又與他服食大麻和海洛英。
根據維基百科 Wikipedia/Whitney Houston:
" ….. After years of controversy and turmoil, Houston separated from Bobby Brown in September 2006, filing for divorce the following month… The divorce was finalized on April 24, 2007, with Houston granted custody of the couple's daughter… Houston gave her first interview in seven years in September 2009, appearing on Oprah Winfrey's season premiere…. Whitney admitted on the show to using drugs with former husband Bobby Brown, who "laced marijuana with rock cocaine". By 1996, she told Oprah, "[doing drugs] was an everyday thing... I wasn't happy by that point in time. I was losing myself."
雖然人説回頭是岸,但或許她已離岸太遠,慘遭毒物沒頂,在藝壇溺斃而死。
SBB, 新鮮人:
「不用再被困在人身的軀殼」是不是一個“開脫"?
死後"靈體"有沒有煩惱?
我只知人死不能復生,軀體腐化,塵歸塵、土歸土,之後就什麼都不知道了!!
Thanks for linking my post to your blog. I am flattered that you found my rambling interesting. Although it is by no mean a thorough study of Whitney Houston's career, I did spend quite a lot time in writing it and it is always great to know that there is an audience for it.
Shangri_la:
I sure appreciate your effort in researching and writing the blog article abt Whitney Houston. Keep in touch !!!
