The return of Whitney Houston

Admit it. If you are old enough to relate to this then you totally used to rock out to “I want to dance with somebody” when no one was looking. Well get ready because what you thought ended with the big-screen nightmare of “Bodyguard” isn’t over at all. By the way, I always thought that Whitney Houston and Mariah Cary were in some sort of “which diva can make the crappiest movie” race. I think Mariah won hands down with Glitter. Then it’s like they got into a “whose husband can hurt their career more” race. The winner has yet to be determined. I do know this though. Last week  I saw a commercial that caught my attention. It was the voiceover guy. You know the voice from the movie previews. This is what he said;

“She is the most awarded female singer in American Music History………” (dramatic music underneath)

“She holds the billboard record for blah blah blah………….(that’s what I remember)

“Now, (long pause)  in the most anticipated morning concert event of the summer…….Ms. Whitney Houston” “Sept 2 on Good Morning America”.

Whoa….Let’s back up just a second. The writers of this commercial have just masterfully handled the English language. “The most anticipated “morning” concert event of the summer? Maybe I’m not being fair. Maybe there really is a “morning” concert series. Maybe Bono and The Edge are sitting somewhere watching this commercial and thinking “what do we have to do…….we’ve worked so hard……..how do we break-in to the “morning” concert series?……We can’t even get on Regis and Kelly.” and then Bono just stands-up, flips over a coffee table, and says “Damn You Whitney Houston, AHHHHHHHHHHHH”. Maybe that’s what artists everywhere are thinking. Maybe Paul Mcartney just called Ringo  and said “I’m sure glad George and John aren’t here to see this. It would make them sad. We never got to play in the morning”.  Maybe I’m not giving Whitney enough credit because I’m unfamiliar with the genre. I don’t appreciate the “morning” concert events the way a “classical” music lover doesn’t appreciate NickelBack (correction, this should have read “I don’t appreciate the “morning” concert events the way a “music” lover doesn’t appreciate NickelBack).

Anyway, you go get’em Whitney. I hope you freaking kill it on the “morning’ concert events this week. I hope you leave the crowd speechless at Oprah. I even hope you and Costner do BodyGuard 2″. Hold your wig high this week Whitney. This is your time. Sure…..you’ll be bigger than you were in the eighties. Sure, you’ll capture a brand new audience. No, you are right. You didn’t trivialize your entire career with a little dousy called “Being Bobby Brown”. You go out there every morning this week at 5:00 AM Eastern / 6:00 AM Central and Dominate.

I’m Just Saying,
