Musically however, she, along with Mariah Carey, pioneered the tactic of never singing one note when you can get away with fifty three and in her case with a bit of fog horn volume chucked in for good measure. She might have to work hard to convince St Pete to let her join the celestial choir.
I have to disagree with your opinion on her voice because we were specifically making the opposite argument about her recently.
As it happened we were comparing various renditions of the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl a week ago and Whitney nailed it on a couple of occasions. Then she died at the weekend.
In one she sang what many consider the best version of this anthem and she sang wearing a
tracksuit of all things.
What was notable was it's simpicity, the comparative lack of histrionic embillishment, the lack of self indulgent extraneous notes, the soul in her voice and the power which was absent from Mariah, Xtina or Beyonce.
Truely majestic and an antidote to the current pop divas.
