Why is Whitney Houston important to history?
It's not clear that she did anything to change history. Whitney Houston was a popular singer and actress who had a number of hits during the 1980s and early 1990s. One of her songs, "I Will Always Love You," was #1 for 13 weeks. Sadly, she died too young, and drug abuse contributed to her death. But while her fans loved her, it is probably not true that she changed history, since there were many other singers and actresses before her (including a number of women of color) who had big hits or starred in popular movies.
Did Whitney Houston wear a wig?
Not all the time, but it is very common for female celebrities to wear wigs now and then. In the case of Lady Gaga or Nicki Minaj, it's part of their act. But other female artists may wear a wig sometimes if they were on the road and didn't get time to get their hair done. We do have some evidence this was the case for Whitney Houston.
Was Whitney Houston rich or poor as a kid?
By most accounts, the family was solidly middle-class. Both parents worked and the family was able to afford to send Whitney to a private school. But although Whitney's mom, Cissy Houston, was a respected gospel singer, there is no evidence during Whitney's childhood that the family had become rich yet.
Was Etta James Whitney Houston's aunt?
You are probably referring to Aretha Franklin, with whom she always had a close relationship, and as a child, she called her as "Auntie Ree." There have been some sources that said Aretha was also Whitney's godmother, but after Whitney died, Aretha went on some talk shows and denied this. It should be noted that Aretha seems to have had some sort of dispute with Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom), so this may explain why she no longer claims to have been Whitney's godmother.
Why was Whitney Houston so important to black history?
It is not entirely true to say she was important to black history. Whitney Houston was a popular singer with an amazing voice. She sold millions of records at the height of her popularity in the mid 1980s to early 1990s. But she was not the first black female vocalist to have a hit record (that was Mamie Smith back in 1920) nor did she do anything unique or unusual; there have been many successful and popular black female vocalists through the years. It is true that Whitney Houston had a large following, as a result of her hit songs and her successful (but brief) movie career. But while her fans were devastated when she died young at age 48, she did not change society the way Rosa Parks did, nor did she have a direct impact on the culture.
What to do when a boy puts his arm around you?
Usually, if a guy is pulling you closer, that means he wants to kiss you. If it's a teasing pull, and more sexual, it might mean he wants you in bed. If this is something you want, go for it. If he doesn't kiss you right away, kiss him. It just means he loves you. If you DON'T want it, tell him that. If you two are in a HEALTHY relationship, he should listen to you and stop right away.
What do you do when your b.f. put his arm around you?
Trust your emotions.
If you like it, it you trust him, leave it there. Snuggle into it.
If it worries you, wriggle it away. He didn't drape his arm around you casually - he thought about it, worried about it and then did it. And as he does it he's watching very intently for you to give a signal that this is 'Ok' or 'Not Ok'. Give that signal.
Of course, an arm around you is one in a well-known sequence of events leading to kissing and ultimately sex. If you are uncomfortable with starting to tread that path with him, stop him right now. Stay in control of the situation.
Did Whitney Houston sell her soul to the devil?
No, she did not. This is a myth. But sadly, she did become addicted to drugs and alcohol, so her life did not have a happy ending.
Why did Whitney have a closed casket?
That was her family's decision. They wanted her to be remembered in a positive way, and they did not want too much focus on how she looked, what she wore, or any other issues that might detract from the dignity of the funeral service.
Was Whitney Houston EVER married to Chris Brown?
