Trina Johnson Finn does Whitney Houston proud with her powerful voice and stage presence.
As a tribute to Houston and all women like her, who soldier on through life with their chins up, a concert called “Remembering Whitney” was held at Istana Budaya from March 22-23 in conjunction with International Women’s Day. Finn did an excellent “Houston”, capturing the artiste’s soulfulness while infusing her own interpretations into the melodies, all much-loved classics that have dominated the airwaves and earned strings of music awards for both Houston and her recording label.
She said she remembered hearing the most beautiful sound coming from the radio, and asked her mother who was singing.Finn opened the concert with the powerful “I’m Every Woman” and followed this with one Houston hit after another – “How Will I Know”, “I Will Always Love You”, “I Have Nothing”, “Million Dollar Baby”, and “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” besides many more – 19 to be exact.
