Houston, We Have Closure

August 1, 2012 , National

Until Sparkle hits theaters August 17, we have the closest thing to a farewell gift from the late Whitney Houston. One solo and one duet on the soundtrack to the film.

While there’s no evidence yet whether the remake co-starring American Idol Jordin Sparks will be a superstar-driven dud à la Mariah Carey’s similar-sounding Glitter, the soundtrack is an enjoyable, if not great, listen. At least until a few DJs get a hold of the gospelly goodness and sex up the beats and tempo a bit.

CeeLo Green makes a brief, but welcome, appearance, too.

But for Houston fans, it’s “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” that will go down in history as her final solo recording. For that alone, it might be worth grabbing this album as a final tribute.

And don’t worry if we’re sounding uncharacteristically sentimental. We just know if Houston sucks in the movie, we’ll have to call her out, dearly departed or not. Here, we can make amends in advance.

    I have learned a number of important things via your post. I might also like to state that there is a situation where you will get a loan and don’t need a co-signer such as a Fed Student Aid Loan. However, if you are getting a borrowing arrangement through a conventional loan company then you need to be able to have a cosigner ready to enable you to. The lenders will base their very own decision over a few components but the main one will be your credit history. There are some financial institutions that will likewise look at your work history and decide based on that but in almost all cases it will hinge on your rating.

    I really love to write and I’m pretty good at it. But whenever I try to write a story or something I start off good but always end up throwing it away–I can never seem to finish it. . . Sometimes I have a good idea that I really like but it’s just hard for me to write a story about and keep going. I like creative writing, but now I’ve almost given up because I can’t even write a short story. HELP!!! What should I do?. Any good creative writing websites to help me get started? Books?. I’m DESPERATE!!.
