Agreed on all counts, 'sodbuster'...and: did you mean to type "Whiney"? 'Cuz if you did, kudos to you.
Whitney Houston has done more to destroy the concept of 'melody' than any other singer in history. I have a good friend who is a vocal instructor, and she's about to give it up because every young girl wants to be taught 'how to sing like Whitney'.

Whitney stole her chops anyway. She's vastly overrated.

That's only one of my issues with Whitney. She's definitely down on pipes and the beneficiary of lots of post-production.
There is a whole crop of auto-tuned schlock female vocalists, since Whit's heyday, whose hunt-and-peck style of singing I find to be really irritating. No need to name names or mane manes.

It's a dark day (or a slow news day) when we're discussing Whitney 'we have a problem' Houston at the RRF.
But yeah, this kid blew me away.

Amen. She and Mariah Carey. Okay, so you can run up and down an octave or so, what else did you get for Christmas?!?!
