Whitney Houston
Whitney Elizabeth Houston va néixer Newark (EUA) el 9 d’agost de 1963 i va morir el passat dissabte, 11 de febrer de 2012 a Beverly Hills (EUA), per causes encara desconegudes.
Va ser una cantant de Rhythm and Blues, pop i gospel, pianista i actriu. Whitney es va convertir en una de les cantants més populars i famoses durant la dècada dels 80 i la dècada dels 90. Tenia una veu prodigiosa, única i una gran habilitat i sensibilitat per cantar.
Ha estat la dona que ha rebut més premis de tots els temps, segons el Guinness World Records. Va rebre sis premis Grammy, diversos American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, dos Emmys, un MTV Video Music Award i un MTV Movie Award.
Ha venut més de 120 milions de discos i 50 milions de senzills .
Ha influït en la carrera de diversos artistes com Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore i altres cantants de música R&B.

I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who loves me)
Significa Vull ballar amb algú (que m’estimi)
El tema es va publicar l’any 1987 en el disc anomenat Whitney. Els compositors de la cançó van ser George Merrill i Shannon Rubicam del grup Boy Meets Girl. Ells ja havien composat anteriorment l’èxit nº1 How will I Know també per a Houston. Aquesta setmana la proposta ha estat meva, per retre un petit homenatge a aquesta gran veu que ens ha deixat, a l’edat de 48 anys, de manera tan sobtada. Espero que us agradi!

Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
Ive done alright up till now
Its the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls the loneliness calls

Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Ive been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who’ll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Somebody who somebody who
Somebody who loves me
Somebody who somebody who
To hold me in his arms oh
I need a man who’ll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls.

Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Ohhhh,ohhhh
Come on baby, haha
Yea
Now get with this

Don’t you wanna dance
with me baby?
Don’t you wanna dance
with me boy?
Don’t you wanna dance
with me baby?

With somebody who loves me.

Don’t you wanna dance say you wanna dance
Don’t you wanna dance?
Don’t you wanna dance say you wanna dance
Don’t you wanna dance?
Don’t you wanna dance say you wanna dance?
Uh huh. With somebody who loves me.

I aquesta setmana un tema extra. Una balada preciosa i molt coneguda inclosa en la Banda Sonora Original de la pel·lícula El Guardaespatlles.

Should stay

the way

And I…

We both know I’m not what you
You need
