jessie Glova As Whitney Houston |
I just got back from work and got a text message that Whitney Houston was rushed to the hospital and possibly will not make it ..... I closed my eyes and paused for a prayer wishing she'll be fine... I have been devastated knowing that Whitney Houston cant belt and can no longer sing her own songs i have seen her latest Vid in youtube and it really crashed my heart how much more this time knowing that she wont be with us anymore and just her songs will linger into our hearts reminding us how beautiful life is.
I have been a fan of Whitney Houston since i was like on my early years humming and learning her rendetion of Greatest love of all and when my mom bought a Music mate that comes with a multiplex cassette tapes where you can sing along .... another i mastered after GREATEST LOVE OF ALL ..It was that song "ALL AT ONCE " and have mastered nearly all her songs after ... I have been a solid fan I believe she was one of my early infuences and shaped me of who i am today ...

The song that made me realized that i can sing and i was noticed was" Saving All my love for You ' i used to sing that in house parties/gatherings, during my high school days i started joining pageants .... one sunday in Mandaue Cebu i went for a screening For a local gay pageant ,.. when everyone s waiting for the result as i was wearing a neon orange two piece swimsuit ... with my tanned and curly wig ,.. somebody stepped in and asked who can perform ???? so i did Volunteer raised my hand and i said yes and good thing I brought my minus one with me, so i did perform..... a sang "ALL AT ONCE" it was the late Kuya Doy Aradaza who asked me to perform and i was so happy t have given that opportunity and called me MISS WHITNEY from that time on I was under his wing .

Pageant night ... I performed " I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY."
Third Year high School it was the tine that i have been full pledged performer and a Drag Artist ... I performed I ALWAYS LOVE which i believe its one of the most difficult song to sing it was't even a difficult song for me ... i was already feeling her soul like has influenced me and inspired me and for years it has become my song .

travelled and performed in hotels in different Cities around the globe worked in a Music industry and was asked /hired to look after bands like from the stylingand etc I was their acting Manager and their band leader from that point i get to sing male songs , i was restricted to sing female songs and have changed me definitely but it was my choice to conform and follow them since they know best I
continued traveling I landed a hotel job in London UK... after my 2 year contract i went home . It was a different feeling , a feeling of emptiness , a feeling of loneliness and lost .
I went to take another degree finished Diploma in Proficiency in Professional Education in University of San Jose . that year I was again associated with my old friends the DIVAS and reunited with the Late Mommy Doy now i know its by fate I came home for soul searching and thank GOD i have found it ..... I went to perform again as DRAG .

With my life with the DIVAS as i have chosen a career I have made myself a certified make-up artist went to study in Singapore to make my career a legit. Myself , i was full of fire , passion , very driven , wild with creative imagination and big dreams , I worked hard and so determined that I can stand by myself I was inspired to be like my sisters the DIVAS , I made it , succeed and ruly and had a career and carved a name in the Industry ,but sadly things changed it was not that i expected and thought will happen , friendship shuttered like into pieces I was really devastated ..it was never my intention to outshine anybody nor tyo compete with ... It was all an honest living. My Friends turned their back at me , because of false accusations I felt I was like the baddest person in the world but I know I was not doing wrong for God is my Witness .... I was devastated ... I wasn't able to have the chance to explain nor to redeem myself, but instead , I chose to be quiet and persevered.
That made me stronger and growas individual, just being myself I learned to let go of the negativity . I was certainly and literally I was Living in Whitney Houston's first come back abum " TRY IT ON MY OWN." I need to survive make a living put a.food on my table .
RESPECT , PERSEVERANCE , HARD WORK , HONEST LIVING AND BEING POSITIVE...what was i was holding to ... I slowly gained back my friends and I wish and until now I pray that we can be together again I miss you sisters !!! as what MOMMY DOY wants us to be is to continue his Legacy.
He created me , and gave me a life in DRAG iI will not going to stop being one .... Im keeping it because for me i know He is happy for me as I continue what he wants me to be.

6:30 pm i started wth my first look , it gave me goose bumps what i was looking at the mirror resembles Whitney Houston and now i believe its easier for me because she is always a part of me and we both draw our emotions in similar fraction with regards to friends , love and work .
I did four different looks ... it was pretty amazing I did my own hair and make-up and as well the styling it was really a different fulfillment me acting and feeling like WHITNEY HOUSTON even for a day is already a DREAM COME TRUE cos there's only one queen of soulful ballads .
