Why Can't I Be Me, Whitney Houston?
Okay, so I’ve been thinking. A lot. And by a lot, I mean, I’ve been staring at the ceiling for an unreasonable amount of time, contemplating the meaning of life and why I can’t belt out a power ballad like Whitney Houston. I mean, the woman could hit a note from outer space and make it sound like a gentle summer breeze.

The Voice of an Angel
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my little squeaky voice. It’s perfect for ordering pizza and complaining about the weather. But when it comes to singing the national anthem or giving a soul-stirring performance, let's just say I’m more of a background singer than a lead vocalist.
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
I’ve tried everything. I’ve taken singing lessons, joined a choir (once), and even tried to learn how to yodel. But alas, my vocal cords are more like rubber bands than golden pipes.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
The Glamour, the Glitz, the... Gap?
It’s not just the voice, though. There's also the whole Whitney Houston package: the hair, the outfits, the aura of pure, unadulterated diva. I mean, I can rock a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie like nobody's business, but a sequined gown? That's a whole different level of confidence.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.

And let's talk about that hair. I’ve tried every hair product known to man, but it still looks like a confused bird built a nest on my head. Whitney, on the other hand, could make a helmet look like high fashion.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
The Final Blow
But perhaps the most crushing realization is that even if I could magically acquire Whitney Houston's voice and look, I’d still probably mess it up. I’d probably trip on stage, forget the lyrics, or accidentally start dancing like a sprinkler. It's a tragic flaw, I know.
So, while I may never be able to channel my inner Whitney Houston, I can still appreciate her incredible talent from afar and continue to dream of a world where I can sing without sounding like a dying cat.
How to Channel Your Inner Diva (Without Sounding Like a Dying Cat)
- How to find your own unique voice: Embrace your quirks and imperfections. Everyone is different, and that's what makes us special.
- How to boost your confidence: Practice positive self-talk and surround yourself with supportive people.
- How to appreciate other people's talents: Celebrate the amazing abilities of others without comparing yourself.
- How to have fun: Singing (or any activity) should be enjoyable. Don't take yourself too seriously.
- How to order pizza: This one's a no-brainer. Just pick up the phone and order your favorite toppings.
