Whitney Houstons begravning 17.00 på TV7 och TV4 Play

I kväll, just nu, klockan 17.00 svensk tid så begravs Whitney Houstons. TV7 kommer att sända direkt från begravningen i Newark, New Jersey, USA.

Sångerskan Whitney Elizabeth Houstons avled den 11 februari på lyxhotellet Beverly Hilton i Beverly Hills. Whitney Houston blev bara 48 år gammal. Enligt media så kan hon ha drunknat i badkaret men dödsorsaken är fortfarande oklar. Det ska ha varit Whitney Houstons hårfrisörska som hittade Whitney livlös i badkaret. Enligt pressen så höll Whitney på att göra sig redo för festen för musikproducenten och mentorn Clive Davis. Vid husrannsakan hittade polisen inga illegala droger men flera receptbelagda mediciner.

Whitney Houston har haft drogproblem sedan filmdebuten i ”Bodyguard” 1992. Efter skivkontraktet 2001 (som var värt ca 700 miljoner kronor) blev Whitney allt mer drogberoende och åkte in och ut på olika kliniker som erbjöd avvänjningsprogram.

Vi minns Whitney Houston!

If I should stay, I would only be in your way. So I’ll go, but I know – I’ll think of you ev’ry step of the way. And I will always love you. I will always love you. You, my darling you. Bittersweet memories that is all I’m taking with me. So, goodbye. Please, don’t cry. We both know I’m not what you, you need. And I will always love you. I will always love you. I hope life treats you kind. And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of. And I wish to you, joy and happiness. But above all this, I wish you love. And I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. You, darling, I love you. Oh, I will always, I will always love you.


A few stolen moments is all that we share. You’ve got your family, and they need you there.
Though I’ve tried to resist, being last on your list. But no other man’s gonna do. So I’m saving all my love for you. It’s not very easy, living alone. My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own. But each time I try, I just break down and cry.  Cause I’d rather be home feeling blue. So I’m saving all my love for you. You used to tell me we’d run away together. Love gives you the right to be free. You said be patient, just wait a little longer. But that’s just an old fantasy. I’ve got to get ready, just a few minutes more. Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door. Cause tonight is the night, for a feeling alright. We’ll be making love the whole night through. So I’m saving all my love. Yes I’m saving all my love. Yes I’m saving all my love for you. No other woman, is gonna love you more. Cause tonight is the night, that I’m feeling alright We’ll be making love the whole night through.
So I’m saving all my love for you.

How will I know? Girl trust your feelings. How will I know? How will I know? Love can be deceivin. How will I know? How will I know if he really loves me? I say a prayer with every heartbeat. I fall in love whenever we meet. I’m asking you ’cause you know about these things. How will I know if he’s thinking of me? I try to phone but I’m too shy – can’t speak. Falling in love is so bitter sweet. This love is strong why do I feel weak?
Oh, wake me I’m shakin; wish I had you near me now. Said there’s no mistakin what I feel is really love. Oh, tell me, how will I know? Girl trust your feelings. How will I know if he
really loves me? If he loves me. If he loves me not. If he loves me. If he loves me not.
How will I know? How will I know? How will I know? How will I know? How will I know if he really loves me? How will I know? How will I know? How will I know? How will I know? – I say a prayer – how will I know? How will I know? – I fall in love – how will I know? How will I know? – I’m asking you – how will I know?

Själv älskar jag att dansa till…..eller vad säger du Mia?

Clock strikes upon the hour. And the sun begins to fade. Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away. Ive done alright up till now. Its the light of day that shows me how. And when the night falls the loneliness calls. Oh I wanna dance with somebody.
I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Yeah I wanna dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me. Oh I wanna dance with somebody. I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me. Ive been in love and lost my senses. Spinning through the town. Sooner or later the fever ends. And I wind up feeling down. I need a man who’ll take a chance. On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls. My lonely heart calls. Oh I wanna dance with somebody. I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Yeah I wanna dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me. Oh I wanna dance with somebody. I wanna feel the heat. Yeah I wanna dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me. Somebody who, somebody who. Somebody who loves me. Somebody who somebody who. To hold me in his arms oh.
I need a man who’ll take a chance. On a love that burns hot enough to last. So when the night falls. My lonely heart calls. Oh I wanna dance with somebody. I wanna feel the heat with somebody.  Yeah I wanna dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me. Oh I wanna dance with somebody. I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Yeah I wanna dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me. Ohh,ohh Come on baby, haha, yea.
