subject: Whitney Houston In Nottingham: [print this page] There she isThere she is. Wearing a shiny and tight dress on stage. She strolls back and forth while her pianist plays the first few chords of "A Song For You". She takes her time, communicating with her audience and singing incredibly perfect phrases a cappella.
She walks like a star and a genuine person at the same time. Whitney is back. She is showing the world what it really means to sing a song and that she still has so much more to give to music. Whitney combines the spontaneity of a little girl who learned to sing at functions and the competence of a true musician, the pop star and the genuine artist that future generations of singers will consider as a landmark and a model.
Singing needs a good voice, of course, but that"s not enough. You must know how to use your voice and develop your own approach to phrasing. This requires passion first of all, and hard work. So, if you have been told that you have a great voice, nice...but keep in mind that that"s just the first step to become a professional singer. Get the best teacher you can afford, listen to lots of music and sing live as much as you can. Surround yourself with like-minded musicians, write tight arrangements and rehearse, rehearse, rehearse!
Forget about the money, put music first and the money will come naturally. All your work will pay off. Good luck.
