pridvorul lui laurentiu dumitru

Intr-o lumea profanata si infectata de conceptul pro-choice, Whitney Houston, o artista de prima mana, are curajul sa cante despre o fata care regreta ca a facut avort.

Miracle” este al treilea single de pe cel de-al treilea album al lui Whitney Houston, “I’m Your Baby Tonight”. Cantecul, scris si produs de L.A. Reid si Babyface, vorbeste despre o fata care a facut un avort, dar care a inteles mai tarziu ca a facut o greseala. Intr-un interviu din acea vreme, Houston a marturisit ca in cantec e, intr-adevar, vorba despre un avort si l-a laudat pe Babyface pentru ca a adancit asa de mult continutul liric al cantecului. Nevrand, totusi, sa-si instraineze vreun fan, videoclipul cantecului nu ramane focusat pe subiect, ci o arata pe Houston cantand, alternand cu diverse fotografii ce apar periodic. Acesta este un videoclip care, in final, ramane prins de intelesul originar al cantecului.

“Miracle” is the third single from Whitney Houston’s third album, I’m Your Baby Tonight. The song, written and produced by L.A. Reid and Babyface, is about a girl who had an abortion but later feels she made a mistake. In an interview at that time, Houston acknowledged the song was indeed about abortion and praised Babyface for digging so deep with the song’s lyrical content. Not wanting to alienate any fans, however, the video for the song doesn’t stick with the subject, instead showing Houston singing and various photographs injected periodically. This is a video that finally sticks with the original meaning of the song.
