Saving All My Love For You – Whitney Houston

How can you have a mixtape and not have early Whitney Houston? This was always played on my local radio station and it was one of those songs you don't like at first (because I was a kid and I thought this was a love song), but like a week later you love it. It's like that scene from Easy A, the Pocketful Of Sunshine Birthday Card

Early Whitney is easily the best music of her career. Her voice was killer and there was so much power. Because this is Super Bowl week I could have went with the obvious, which was her version of the Star Spangled Banner, and I don't care what anyone says this was the best rendition ever. Hell it was on the Billboard Top 25. I didn't go with this one or any of the other songs she has because I really like how this song builds up. The soft beginning where she talks about being the other other woman and as the song builds no matter how beautiful it sounds you can imagine the sadness of this person as she waits for this man, even if everyone tells her to move on. The best part is towards the end with the chorus where you can hear the power and intensity. This could be a song that I may or may not sing in the car when it comes on. Also how do you not love a song with a soulful saxophone?

That's all for now, more tomorrow!

I'm not really big for those old, slower female-led pop songs, but she definitely has a voice and I love the sax.

As for her Star Spangled Banner, I don't think I've heard anyone disagree with it being the best version.

I get that, and thank you 1980s for having the sax in everything

I've heard some folks say that Beyonce's version at Obama's Inauguration was better, and I respect their opinion but they are crazy.

Didn't she admit to lip synching for that, or was that a different event I'm thinking of?

You know I don't remember. I'm surprised she would admit to it considering how any little thing she does, the public goes nuts over it. Please news outlets we get it she's pregnant, enough already!

She admitted to it for some performance involving the President.

The media did go nuts over it.

And yeah, those photos turn me off even more. I know she has worldwide appeal and a great voice, but her ego seems beyond the usual pop star's, which is way too much.

I was big on that song from The Bodyguard for a while there. Not usually my thing, but sometimes a song manages to get through to me.

I Will Always Love You. That song was huge and that is such a good song. I think I also have the original version somewhere in my iTunes.

I like early Whitney. We lost her during the 90s,

Some blame Bobby Brown, I would agree, but I also liked Bobby's music.

I did too. You would think after all this time celebrities would have learned that them & drugs and them & them don't mix.

Never was a fan of Whitney Houston. My mom and one of my sisters were, though, and that may have sealed her fate as far as I was concerned.
