Whitney Elizabeth Houston (born August 9, 1963) is a Grammy Award-
winning American pop and R&B singer, actress, film producer,
arranger, songwriter, and former fashion model. Her crossover success
opened doors for other African American women, to find success in pop
music and movies.[1][2] She is frequently referred to as "The
Voice"[3][4][5], and is known for her "powerful, penetrating pop-
gospel voice."[6] She has been credited as having a five-octave vocal
range.[7][8][9][10]

In the 1980s, Houston was one the first African-American female
artists to receive regular rotation on MTV in the network's early
years during a white male rock dominated time.[11][12] Her debut
album became the biggest selling debut album of all time for a solo
artist (a record that has since been broken), her follow up album
became the first album by a female artist to debut at #1 on the
Billboard 200, and she had a record seven consecutive #1 singles on
the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Houston continued her success into
Hollywood in the 1990s, starting with the box office hit The
Bodyguard. The soundtrack became the best-selling soundtrack of all
time, and the single "I Will Always Love You" the best-selling single
by a female artist and 6th best-selling song in the history of music.
[13] She continued the decade with other successful and culturally
significant projects before returning to the studio. Houston is the
fourth best-selling female recording artist according to the
Recording Industry Association of America,[14] and is the "The Most
Awarded Female Artist of All Time"[15] according to the Guinness Book
of World Records.

After Houston married former R&B singer Bobby Brown at the height of
her career, rumors of drug and spousal abuse started to affect her
career. This led to a decline in her public image and her album sales
dropped during the 2000s. Her personal troubles and erratic behavior
became more talked about than any of her music, with stories
regularly appearing in the tabloid press. Houston underwent two drug
rehab programs in 2005 and 2006. After a successful second program in
2006, Houston divorced Brown and gained custody of their only
daughter. She has since been working on her 7th studio album with
music mogul and close friend and mentor Clive Davis, who confirmed
that the album will be released in November 2008.[16]

That's cracktastic!
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

Happy birthday, then. party

I didn´t know she was five years younger than our fifty-year-olds (you know who I´m refering to).
