Whitney Houston: Beyond the Power Ballad - Fun Facts You Might Not Know ;)
Whitney Houston. The name itself conjures up images of electrifying voice runs, epic ballads, and enough glamour to fill a stadium. But there's more to Whitney than just her incredible talent! Buckle up for a whistle-stop tour of some lesser-known Whitney facts, served with a side of fun.
1. Award Show Appetites?
Whitney Houston reigns supreme in the awards department. She holds the record for the most American Music Awards ever, leaving us to wonder if there's a secret room backstage filled with endless macaroni and cheese (her favorite, according to entirely-not-made-up rumors).
2. Multi-Lingual Mariah? Not Quite... But Whitney Had Skills!
Everyone knows about Whitney's phenomenal vocal range. But did you know she could also, supposedly, belt out tunes in Japanese? Okay, so maybe she wasn't fluent (though that would be amazing), but the rumor is she could hit those high notes in any language.
3. Wrestling Bears and Belting High Notes: A Whitney Classic (Maybe)
We all know Whitney could bring down the house with her voice, but could she wrestle a bear? The answer is probably not (although with a voice like that, she could probably scare one away with a high note). This might be a tall tale, but hey, it wouldn't be the most surprising thing on this list!
4. Top Secret Handshake with Mandela?
Here's a fun one to imagine: Whitney Houston and Nelson Mandela sharing a secret handshake. Maybe it involved hitting a high note and then busting out some robo-dancing moves? Probably not, but it sure would be a sight to see!
5. Believing She Could Fly: Whitney's Superpower?
Whitney's song "I Will Always Love You" is practically synonymous with soaring vocals. Maybe it wasn't a metaphor? Perhaps Whitney truly believed she could fly, with a voice that powerful? In a world that needed more superheroes, Whitney Houston with a cape made of sound would have been pretty epic.
