I also had a fairly personal Whitney Houston moment. When I was eleven I was at summer camp and we had a talent show. Since it was the 80's lip-synching was considered to be a talent, so I got up in my tube top and halter-tied blouse and my acid washed jeans and lip synched to How Will I Know and got the only standing ovation of my life. The crowd literally picked me up and carried me around the dining hall on their shoulders for five minutes, cheering. I have no idea what happened there, but it was definitely a memorable experience. I think they may have even made me do an encore.
I'd have almost believed it was all a dream but somewhere in my files I still have the camp newspaper documenting it on the front page.
I should also mention that at 11 years old, I was the youngest kid at camp, where the median age was probably closer to 15. This may have had something to do with it.
I loved that whole album and listened to it a lot. My father bought it on vinyl and made me a tape to play in my walkman. I think that says a lot about my my musical development right there.
