Whitney Houston (at her 46)  plans the conquest of Rome next  4th may 2010. The concert of Whitney is already shaking Roman Foundations with the highest expectations.

Beyond the ‘’good girl’’ image during the 80’s and 90’s. Even beyond her ‘’incorrect’’ profile during the second part of the 90’s and the current decade. This last period included:  being late for interviews, canceling concerts and talk-show appearances, weight loss and rumors about drug abuse, airport security guards discovering marijuana in both Houston’s and Bobby Brown’s luggage at a Hawaiian airport in the year 2000 (anyway she boarded the plane  before authorities could arrive) etc etc …

Does it really matter after all? Her godmother, the Soul Goddess Aretha Franklin would be happy after all this things considering her busting success and skills:  Her debut album Whitney Houston in 1985, became the best-selling debut album by a female artist at the time of release.  Her second studio album Whitney (1987) became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart  Houston appeared in her first starring role in the feature film The Bodyguard in 1992  The film’s original soundtrack won the 1994 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Its lead single, “I Will Always Love You”, became one of the best-selling singles in music history.

Houston is one of the world’s best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million records, worldwide  She is ranked as the fourth best-selling female artist in the United States  Not bad for a girl born in a poor neighborhood in the projects of Newark, New Jersey. With her amazing career she grasped all the aspects of the American Dream…  After a concert in Milan, the singer will present in the Eternal City her last album called ‘I look to you’ already certified platinum for sales over one million copies in the U.S:

Form the 16/06 to the 08/08 in Villa Ada Rome will meet the world. How? yo might be wondering: through good food, various stands full of handicrafts and above all, great music

Villa Ada is one of the most beautiful parks in Rome. During the XVIII the park was restructured by some pathway, some small temple creating an ambient really romantic.Various vicissitudes saw the Villa passing trough different owners between Pallavicini’s prince, the Real House and their administrator  theTellfner Count who gave to the park the name of his wife: Ada.

With such a backdrop, full of beauty and history, musicians from all around the world will meet to show once again that the sheer joy of music is a universal pleasure that brings together human beings from all races and from all walks of life. A valuable and much-needed messagge in our current times.
