THE WAITING IS OVER, that statement was printed on the offical website from one of my greatest singer of all time, recently. Yup, I am talking about the highly anticipated birth of Ms. Whitney Houston's latest album entitled I LOOK TO YOU. I have heard all of the songs in the album and I must say I am quite impressed with most of the songs. The fast numbers were catchy and the ballads, sultry. To the 80's beloved, Whitney was the biggest singing icon together with Madonna, Tina Turner, Bonnie Tyler and the likes. She was the better crooner, her voice was legend, her delivery, superb. But that was then...
Unlike her memorable dramatic soprano, she can only now delivers in mezzo soprano but despite that, her delivery is still mesmerizing. Being a seasoned singer with an attitude and the songs penned by renowned composers and producers such as Alicia Keys, Akon, Diane Warren, David Foster you can aspect nothing less than good tunes.
One track that really touch me personally is a ballad, written by multiple grammy winner, Diane Warren and her multiple grammy winner producer, David Foster. The name of the song is I Didn't Know My Own Strength. The song was supposedly in relation to her pain and her conviction for a better life.
Listen to her rendition...you can feel the pain in her voice and soul... only a diva can...
Whitney Houston - I Didn't Know My Own Strength.
Lost touch with my soul
I had no where to turn
I had no where to go
Lost sight of my dream
Thought it would be the end of me
I thought I'd never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to
I thought I would break
Chorus
I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
hold my head up high
I was not build to break
I didn't know my own strength
Found hope in my heart
I found the light to life
My way out of the dark
Found all that I need
Here inside of me
I thought I'd never find my way
I thought I'd never lift that weight
I thought I would break
Chorus
There were so many times I
Wondered how I'd get through the night I
Thought took all I could take
Chorus
What a sentimental feeling listening to that song over and over again....
Last Saturday, I met with a unique person worth mentioning.... Her story will be in my next or later post, InsyAllah.
This last few days, I have encountered one problem... I really don't know what to eat for 'berbuka' ... I have no idea what to eat. The best part of it was that, one day I went to a Mamak Restaurant in Endah Parade and ordered a simple Maggie Mee Curry Soup and in all its simplicity, it was the best food for me in that week...hehe..
Have a productive day.....xoxo..
