The vocal chords need exercise, they need treating right, and sadly her lifestyle saw it wane terrible towards the end, but in her pomp, no-one can touch Whitney Houston for me.

Thoroughly unfashionable to say so, but Celine Dion has a truly phenomenal voice.

I flew over her house once. Well, twice. We came back the same way.

I probably don't actually hear her sing very often as I'm busy going "oh my god no, where's the remote, where is the ****ING remote."

It would probably help if she didn't sing songs so sickly sweet that they turn my stomach.
