Had to cut this post in two for some reason. It did not like the post having two vids this time.
I am kind of amazed how much this saddens me. Like I said, I had not thought about her in years, since some of the Bobby Brown news. She was about my age (year behind in me in school years), and though her pop diva music was not at all my style, her voice convinced me to buy her first CD.
On that first album, she did a cover of a tune that I found inspirational as a teen (George Benson version) finding my place in the world. Given what happened to her life, I find the video for the song quite sad. She apparently forgot the message of the song. But it is a beautiful cover.
Rest in peace. I hope her memory serves as a cautionary, and yet inspirational tale. I also hope it reminds current pop divas and their fans what real singing sounds like.
