Whitney to be inducted to the r&b hall of fame Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American recording artist, actress, producer, and model. In 2009, the Guinness World Records cited her as the most-awarded female act of all-time. Houston was one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide. She released seven studio albums and three movie soundtrack albums, all of which have diamond, multi-platinum, platinum or gold certification. Houston's crossover appeal on the popular music charts, as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her video for "How Will I Know", influenced several African American female artists to follow in her footsteps. Houston is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits. She is the second artist behind Elton John and the only female artist to have two number-one Billboard 200 Album awards (formerly "Top Pop Album") on the Billboard magazine year-end charts. Houston's 1985 debut album Whitney Houston became the best-selling debut album by a female act at the time of its release. The album was named Rolling Stone's best album of 1986, and was ranked at number 254 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Her second studio album Whitney (1987) became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Houston's first acting role was as the star of the feature film The Bodyguard (1992). The film's original soundtrack won the 1994 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Its lead single "I Will Always Love You", became the best-selling single by a female artist in music history. With the album, Houston became the first act (solo or group, male or female) to sell more than a million copies of an album within a single week period under Nielsen SoundScan system. The album makes her the top female act in the top 10 list of the best-selling albums of all time, at number four. Houston continued to star in movies and contribute to their soundtracks, including the films Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996). The Preacher's Wife soundtrack became the best-selling gospel album in history. rbhalloffame.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54&Itemid=60

Nice about the R&B Hall of Fame (didn't know one existed; I see it was established in 2010, but these are the first inductees)..
It says it's inducting a large class, but it also says "have been nominated to be the first inductees..." So does there still have to be a vote?
Eligibility five years after first recording? I don't know if I'd make the number-of- years criteria that small.

Halle Berry talks about Whitney LOS ANGELES – Halle Berry was passionate in her explanation of how the late Whitney Houston inspired her.“I remember when I first really became aware of her,” said Halle, gorgeous in a sweater, pants and boots in a meeting room at the Beverly Hilton. “I was probably 16 or 17 years old in the mid-1980s. At that time, she was not only a huge talent. Arguably, there is no voice like Whitney’s. She was a very special artist and creature—a woman of color so talented to achieve that level of greatness, able to cross the barrier. But she was also able to affect the world in such a global way. That was very inspiring to me as a young girl. It gave me a reason to dream and hope. She was someone I identified with in a very fundamental way.” Halle remained a fan of the singer-actress even in her troubled later years. “We all maybe didn’t understand what was going on with her… I desperately rooted for her to come back,” said the actress, who stars with Tom Hanks in “Cloud Atlas,” an epic sci-fi drama directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer. Added the Oscar and Golden Globe best actress winner: “I was very sad when Whitney died the way she did … I really want her legacy to have a proper place in our history.” Halle joined Usher, Britney Spears, LL Cool J and others in “We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston,” which will be aired as a TV special in November.“We got so caught up in the last decade of her life that it overshadowed her greatness in a way,” Halle said. “Hopefully, that tribute will remind all of us about her contributions…”

Bobbi Kristina Brown: ‘I Am Doing Better Than I Ever Thought I Would’ LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- Bobbi Kristina Brown, the 19-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston, stepped out on Monday night for the premiere party of the her new reality show and told Access Hollywood she’s coping with the death of her mother in ways she never thought possible. “I’m doing okay, I’m doing pretty good. I am doing better than I ever thought I would,” she told Access at the premiere party for A&E’s “The Houstons: On Our Own” in New York City. “Definitely better than I thought I would.” Whitney might have died in in February, but Bobbi Kristina still feels her presence in her life. “What gives me the strength is my family and knowing that she is watching down on us,” she told Access. “Watching down and applauding and being happy and smiling and rejoicing, as well as we are, of her life and her legacy.” Adding, “She was an angel. She was an amazing, amazing person. Whoever met her, was attached to her from the beginning, the start… at the very first sight, you’re just attached to her. She was an angel on Earth.” And what about the rumors that Bobbi Kristina is engaged to her adopted brother, Nick Gordon, which was teased in a recent promo for the Houston family’s new reality show? “That’s a surprise, so yeah” she told Access when asked about their rumored engagement. “We’ll let the viewers watch,” Nick, 22, who accompanied the 19-year-old on the red carpet, told Access. “Watch and see,” she added. “The Houstons: On Our Own” premieres on October 24 at 9/8c on A&E.

DIONNE WARWICK
Warwick is a delight to talk to. There’s a twinkle and laughter about her, but real strength, too, the toughness of a showbusiness survivor. Her second cousin, Whitney Houston, who looked and sounded so much like Dionne, dealt less well with superstardom. But this is not something Warwick wants to broach. When I say, “I have to ask you about Whitney,” she challenges me: “Why? She’s gone. Why can’t you remember her for what she was best known for? Her music. That’s her legacy, and -that’s all I want to talk about with regards to her, OK?”
“OK,” I say, as she stares at me with the fierceness of a headmistress scolding a naughty schoolboy.
“Thank you,” she says, sweetly, firmly. Subject closed.

Engaged to her adopted brother? Say what? In my opinion, this whole thing is for publicity for the show. Her rep denied this fake engagement, and he's nottttt her adopted brother! I wish the media would quit saying that. They're trying to make it seem like it's incest when it's really not. Whitney didn't raise him, she didn't adopt him, in reality he's Bobbi Kristina's friend who made his way into this famous family and Whitney cared about him and felt sorry for him. They've known eachother since high school, not kindergarden. He wasn't raised by Whitney Houston, he has his own mother who he was raised by.

Ms. Walters clocked the tea on Pat. I don't like her and I don't trust her.
