Beyonce Remembers Whitney Houston
Beyoncé honored the late Whitney Houston this morning with a tribute on her official website. “The loss of Whitney Houston is painful,” she wrote. “I, like every singer, always wanted to be just like her. Her voice was perfect. Strong but soothing. Soulful and classic. Her vibrato, her cadence, her control. So many of my life’s memories are attached to a Whitney Houston song. She is our queen and she opened doors and provided a blueprint for all of us.”
The R&B star also recalled her first meeting with her hero. “I remember meeting Whitney for the first time when I was 15,” she said. “She was the ultimate legend. The ultimate woman. Not only was she confident, poised, stunningly beautiful and intelligent, but she was sincere and kind. She took the time to make everyone feel like they were very important to her.”
