Hello! I\u2019m Gail Nobles and you\u2019re listening to the Whitney Soul Podcast. Yea, people are still talking about Whitney Houston. Talking about how she couldn\u2019t dance. But Whitney didn\u2019t need that dance. She was moved to perform with what she was given. She made you dance instead singing, I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

Whitney had church power in her voice. It was something that a lot of other singers didn\u2019t have. She dint have to make it the way that they made it. And when she performed, all she had to do was walk up and down the stage, and the audience was still moved by her singing, but not only that, she moved up the stairway and down the stairs \U0001f3b6. And every time she went up the stairs, she knew she had to pray. She was in the spotlight of the world. And while Whitney was on top, the people wanted to boo. The craziest thing.
So there were times when she came down the stairs wanting a break and to get away from the stage. And it wasn\u2019t because she didn\u2019t do a great job singing.

Whitney Houston continued to receive awards. She received many for her great performance and work. But it was nothing like the work and reward spiritually waiting for her. The kind of work where you don\u2019t get tired, and the kind of award that is everlasting.

Some people made fun of Whitney and tried to put her down still. She moved up the stairway and down the stairs \U0001f3b6. Like Soul to Soul. She kept on moving, and she didn\u2019t stop until she was called to retire. Whitney was trying to make a living. That was her earthly job. Singing. But man will work you to death, and Whitney doesn\u2019t have to go up and down those stage stairways anymore. And when Whitney was here, she didn\u2019t have to dance. It was never intended for her to be overworked.

Dancing and singing with the mic in your hand requires more work. Bouncing up and down and trying to sing too. She concentrated mostly on her singing because a singer is what she was. I\u2019m not saying she couldn\u2019t learn to dance. Whitney Houston gave us what a lot of other singers weren\u2019t giving us. She gave us voice with music.

Physically, she\u2019s not here with us, but spiritually she\u2019s still moving us. Still making us talk about her. Ain\u2019t that something? She\u2019s been gone since 2012. Whitney Houston is the most talked about singer that I\u2019ve ever known. Newsmakers still got her in the news. Moviemakers still trying to make movies about her. Tribute artists trying to sing like her and keeping the legacy going. Whitney\u2019s got us moving up the stairway and down the stairs.
