Yesterday we learned Whitney Houston’s official cause of death, but that won’t stop the tributes from coming. Many of today’s biggest artists were just growing up in the late 80′s and early 90′s when the pop diva was at her peak, so it’s no wonder so many have cited her as one of their greatest influences. This is certainly true for Brandy and Monica, who separately honored the “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” legend at their V103’s Conversation/Soul Session in Atlanta. Monica performed Whitney’s “You Give Good Love,” while Brandy sang a little of “I Will Always Love You” a cappella. Catch this along with duets both old and new, “The Boy Is Mine” and “It All Belongs To Me,” below.

Sad she could not fight off her demons…and self obsession…
Resentment, anger, and fear make up the triangle of self-obsession. All of our defects of character are forms of these three reactions. Self-obsession is at the heart of our insanity.
Resentment is the way most of us react to our past. It is the reliving of past experiences, again and again in our minds. Anger is the way most of us deal with the present. It is our reaction to and denial of reality. Fear is what we feel when we think about the future. It is our response to the unknown; a fantasy in reverse. All three of these things are expressions of our self-obsession. They are the way that we react when people, places, and things (past, present, and future) do not live up to our demands.
