I doubt she would have listened to you or anyone for that matter. She wouldn’t listen to her Aunt or even her own Mother Sissy.
Whitney quickly blew up into “Diva” status and the rest is history.
If she could just shake her demons maybe we could get some mellow R&B in her later years. Dion Warwick had some of her greatest hits during those years. She smoked like a fiend too. Didn’t matter. My MIL saw Dion and Bert Bacharach in concert about 10 years ago. She said it was like going back 30+ years.
I certainly hope so!
I am over 50 and still have 4 octaves. I hit high “c”s every day and have no breaks in my voice.
I really believe in the technique that I teach because I am living proof that it WORKS! LOL
Say a prayer for Whitney. She needs THAT more than our criticism. :-)
