This is how I am feeling right now.
Dance like no one's watching.
Sing like no one's listening.
"I'm Every Woman" - Chaka Khan!
PS - picture Kelly and I singing this tune at the drag show we visited in DC last month...HEE HEE!
Only 223 days til...(you know what!)
I am mindful of your speedy glossing-over of my discourtesy under your last blog, A,M, - albeit unintended, as you know. But thank you, and let's move on.
ReplyDeleteI actually saw the late Ms Houston in the flesh about 20 years ago when there was a commemorative rally and march through the centre of London for victims of AIDS. All were gathered at the start in Hyde Park, but it was held back for the appearance of an unnamed 'superstar' whose identity they deliberately kept under wraps - for fear of us wandering off, I suppose. Anyway, the march was held up for close on an hour, I seem to remember. She did eventuially appear on a temporary stage, we all waving our brought-along flowers in appreciation. She didn't sing, of course. There'd have been no time for that anyway, but she just spoke for about 2 mins saying how privileged she felt at being able to appear at the 'event' (She'd been on a world tour and just happened to be in this country.) Then she disappeared and that was it! Of course in the years following we all know the downward trajectory her life took, with her frequent troubles and struggles which eventually tragically claimed her. But that day was a brief episode in my life I'll always remember - not least because I'd just lost the third of my closest friends in three successive years (and have never made up the numbers since).
I'll postpone my dance until later as I don't wish to put undue strain on Blackso's little heart by alarming him unduly.
blackso is probably taking a nap, so NOW is the time...shake it but don't break it!
DeleteAt this moment he's out on the prowl but I've now got Toffy beside me - AND there's Noodles, Ginger and Dooda in the kitchen. It's exhausting work having to keep SEVEN pussies satisfied, taking so much out of one (as you might imagine) that I don't think I've got any stamina left.
Deleteoh well, the song will be here tomorrow...
DeleteNow I've got a Whtney groove .... but without all the crack.
ReplyDeleteToo soon?
No not at all. :-)
DeleteBAHBAY! BAHBAY!
bwhahahahahaha! LOVE IT!
DeleteI really miss Whitney, well early Whitney when she was actually singing.
ReplyDeleteyou got that right. her later stuff was all screaming. "I will always love you" - she RUINED that song with all the screaming. dolly's will always be the definitive version for me.
DeleteThat got me up dancing! :)
ReplyDeletegood for you, jim! shake it round the room! hope you have a great weekend!
DeleteHELL TO THE NO!!! Ya'll leave my Whitney alone!!! I Will Always Love Her!!! ;-)
ReplyDeletelet's agree to disagree on this one, m'kay? her downfall began when she met bobby brown. but I LOVES YOU! :)
DeleteHappy belated birthday Anne Marie! I have been a bit busy here with work, and even busier for the next 3 weeks. My business is a "feast or famine" business. Too much right now, but not enough in between.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will have a wonderful weekend, filled with celebrations!
thanks, nadege! too many movies, too little time, eh? make the cash whilst you can!
DeleteLike you, I kind of lost interest in Whitney after she became Mrs. Brown but this is a great song. And so much energy in the video.
ReplyDeletea great song, cameo appearances by stars, a bun in the oven...what's NOT to like!
