Diva Envy
Nobody sings the story no more.. Think Whitney in her day.
“Ain't nobody ever turn
the National Anthem
into a Top 10 Hit record,” Momma used to say.
Very few Sistas crossed over & scored, the way the Princess of Pop & Soul did, so nobody sings the story no more.
I caught up with Whitney on a roll: Way off the chain, stylin strawberry blonde, wet and wavy bangs, workin a winter white couture evening gown,
and sequined slings.
I went to wish her inner bliss without all that bling. She said, "Don't aim for the fame," yet spawned a legacy of divas who tried to do the same.
Not one has her gift. Child, please. My girl sang,
and was tough enough.
She took in everybody and anybody till that shit got rough.
See, there’s somethin bout Whitney's voice when it whispers, I ain’t afraid.
So, less you willin to go toe to toe, don’t set one foot up on that stage.
"Her strength comes from the Church," Momma used to say.
