Some final words:

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN. Whitney Houston made her masterpiece in 1998, "My Love Is Your Love". It is grossly misunderstood. It can not be compared to "What's Going On", it must be compared to "There's A Riot Goin' On". She is killing herself with drugs, and it is no surprise. LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM, and listen to the words. There is great wisdom there. Whitney, always remember the Greatest Love of All.
