I choose this song because it happens to be one of my favorite songs of all time. When I was little my mom would play Whitney Houston and I grew to love soul music. It is so different and a pivotal moment in American music history. I’m sure everyone knows Houston for her famous I Wanna Dance With Somebody. But I love I Have Nothing because it has been proven that she is the only women in the entire world who is able to sing this piece. It was originally written to present the entirety of her vocal range and it clearly does. The song itself has a more relaxed beginning that is continuously growing to this powerful climax. It opens with a classical piano followed by the entirety of an orchestra. Houstons voice is very delicate and her dynamics seem to be essential to the rest of the piece as it continues. Overall Whitney Houston helped develop soul in the United States and influenced various artists that we know of today!
