Can You Have Whitney Houston? A Guide for the Bewildered Citizen
Ah, Whitney Houston. The name itself evokes emotions that range from belting out power ballads in the shower to that feeling you get when you accidentally try on clothes two sizes too small (we've all been there). But there's a nagging question that plagues even the most devoted Whitney fans: is it always a good time for Whitney?
Fear not, friends! For I, your resident expert in all things Whitney and questionable decisions at 3 am, am here to guide you through this labyrinth of musical musings.
When Whitney is Your Wingwoman:
-
Cruising down the highway with the windows down: Hair whipping in the wind? Check. Sun on your face? Check. Soundtrack by the one and only Whitney? Double check! There's nothing more liberating than letting Whitney loose as you conquer the open road. Just be sure to avoid any impromptu karaoke sessions unless you're confident you can hit those high notes.
-
Getting ready for a night out and feeling fabulous: Whitney is the ultimate hype woman. Need to channel your inner diva as you apply that eyeliner? Whitney's got you covered. Blast "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and prepare to be the most radiant version of yourself that night.
-
Beltin' it out in the shower (because nobody can hear you... ideally): We all have those moments where shower tiles become our personal concert stage. And let's be honest, there's no better vocalist to accompany your operatic stylings than Whitney. Just be careful not to unleash the full force of your vocals – neighbors might not appreciate a surprise Whitney Houston performance at 2 am.
When to Pump the Brakes on the Whitney Lovefest:
-
You're at a funeral (respect the vibes, people): This one's a no-brainer. While Whitney's powerful voice can move you, a somber occasion calls for a more respectful soundtrack. Save the Whitney jams for a celebratory dance party later.
-
Trying to sneak out after curfew (stick to elevator music for this one): Whitney's soaring vocals are practically a neon sign that screams "I'm awake and ready to party!" If you're trying to make a stealthy escape unnoticed, perhaps opt for something a little less...dramatic.
-
Your date hates pop music (maybe try some Barry Manilow? No judgment): First dates are all about creating a good impression. Unless you're going for the "super quirky" vibe (which can be risky business), it might be best to avoid a musical genre clash. There's always next time to unleash your inner Whitney fan.
-
The library (keep it down for the scholars): Unless you're belting out a scholarly Whitney Houston thesis (which would be pretty darn impressive), the library is a place for hushed tones and respectful silence. Take your Whitney cravings elsewhere – Whitney would understand.
So, the next time you find yourself wondering "Can I have Whitney Houston?", refer to this handy guide. Remember, Whitney is a gift, but like all gifts, it's best used with a little discretion. Now go forth and Whitney with confidence!
