How is aretha franklin related to Whitney Houston?
It has been widely reported for years that Aretha was Whitney's godmother, but after Whitney died, Aretha was interviewed on the Today show and said she had only been a friend of the family and not Whitney's godmother. However, many articles have noted that Whitney felt very close to Aretha, even calling her Aunt Ree. And there have been a few stories since Whitney's death that indicate Aretha and Whitney's mom (Cissy Houston) had some sort of disagreement or dispute, so that may have contributed to Aretha now saying she was never Whitney's godmother.
Bessie Smith was a famous jazz and blues singer of the 1920s and 1930s.
There is some controversy surrounding Bessie's date of birth, which her mother, Laura Owens Smith, reported on the 1900 US Census as July 9, 1892. Ten years later, in the 1910 Census, Bessie's sister Viola and the census worker reassigned her the birth date to April 15, 1894 (April 15 was the day before the Census) for unknown reasons. April 15 was officially recorded and is the day celebrated by her family.
Bessie was key to the development of American blues and jazz, and has 15 hits listed in Joel Whitburn's "Pop Memories", including the 1923 (presumed) #1 "Down Hearted Blues".

What type of music is Mariah Carey in to?
I would say she's an Contralto with a five octave vocal range or a Coloratura Contralto.
You are making a huge mistake by classifying her as a Contralto. She may have the lower register notes that Cher does but she is not comfortable in the lower register. She is best heard in the whistle register. She can make phrases and words in the whistle register and easy sings a C7 and well above effortlessly. Her whistle register sounds exactly like a flute or piccolo. She is a Dramatic Coloratura Soprano. A Dramatic Coloratura Soprano has the agility, flexibility and range of a Piccolo Coloratura Soprano but the power and the lower register of a Dramatic Soprano, which to the untrained ear sounds like a Contralto.
Has akon been arrested for murder?
Yes at least once, he was convicted for having sex with an underage girl.(14 years old)
- Who ever wrote that is wrong, in fact.. the girl was 15, and he did not actually have sex with her. He performed a sexual act while on stage at Club Zen in Trinidad (12 April 2007). He wasn't prosecuted.
also .. apprently he has been known to say he stole cars when he was younger.. however there has been alot of denial by numerous people claiming he only made that up to claim street cred.
Believe what you want.. I personally couldn't care. he a good R&B singer.. do you AKON.
At the start of "Sorry, Blame it on me" video clip, you can see a montage of him being commited by numerous people. So I say he has.
Akon didnt rape any 1 do you think hed be a sucessfull as he is today if he was he raps with eminem and alike and in eminem says in many of his songs if any 1 would touch 1 of his girls hed kill em well do you thnik he let akon near them no and the offical thing that akon was convicted for was a sexual act which in my opinion is outragous the girl never made any atempt to get akon to stop she went along with it and even encouraged it how is he surpose to know she was 15. You see kids getting served cigarettes and booze every day who are like 15 but shop assistants think they are 18 theres no differacne :D
Well, in his song Break Your Heart, he was explaining to the person who was "falling for him" that they shouldn't because he will only break their heart so he is actually being nice! He is warning them so that's how he is being nice.
