Comback Queen

Whitney Houston has made her comeback in over 15 years. She came on Good Morning America’s Summer Concert series and sang 4 songs. She even came out and sang with her daughter Bobby Kristina Houston Brown. When interviewed, some of her fans said they had been standing in line to get into see Whitney Houston make her singing comeback since 11 p.m. the night before. There were fans of all ages and included in the crowd was her mother which she had said was her biggest support in making her debut.

Opera Winfrey had an exclusive chance to sit down and interview Whitney Houston for the first time since coming back. In fact, Opera said that her interview with Whitney was her best interview ever. Wow! Is what I said to myself because Opera has done a lot of interviews with a lot of different people! She talks about her new singing career and more tough stuff like her marriage to Bobby Brown, drugs and even rehab.

Whitney was in the media a lot in the beginning of her career for more positive things such as the success of her career as a singer. It started in 1987 with the release of Whitney. With the release of that album she also became the first female artist to enter the album charts at number one. Houston is also the only artist to have seven consecutive number-one hits that surpassed the record held by The Beatles and the Bee Gees.

She then moved onto becoming an actress in the movie The Bodyguard. I am sure you have all seen the movie but if you haven’t I am almost positive all of you have heard the song by Houston titled “I will always love you”

After a few more albums and a couple more movies, Whitney was in the spotlight for something completely different. This is where her drug, alcohol and marital problems came into play. How easy it is to be in the spotlight for all the good you are doing and the second something goes bad it’s also smeared across the internet and TV.

I think the media now is what is going to make Whitney Houston’s comeback that much more successful. I am sure there will be many Facebook groups dedicated to her, blogs written about what she is up to and even wikis written about the critiques for her new album that was just released titled I Look To You

Do you think that if back in 1993 when her career went sour if things such as Facebook or blogs were around then things would be different for her? Would there have been more truth about what she was going through or would it have just added more fuel to the fire?
