PR team there was no PR team we didn't get it he was writing to his like the other like the other players and saying things like mate do you want picked up in the morning mate I'll come and get you in the morning all that sort of stuff right and open chat but he also used to like oh guys I need to read these out my absolute favourite one right so this is just one of his ones Mr Bean funny Mr Bean funny he also sent a tweet to himself right so it was at Wayne Rooney I'll put you asleep within 10 seconds you little girl don't say stuff and not follow up on it I'll be waiting he said it to himself by accident I don't know who he was trying to talk to don't know we'll never know but he said it to himself this was my absolute favourite one Whitney, and he stands by this, by the way, because he just says he pure loved her.

This is after Whitney Houston died.

Whitney has passed away.

R.I.P. You will live on forever.

Can't believe it.

I prefer the idea of him running to her in the clouds.

And then she's got this aura around her and he's running up all the stairs.

I think other than that, though, the music is just an absolute standout.

I mean, the rest of the Amy Mann collaboration here, I think if you said a particular artist is writing a soundtrack for a film, particularly a female artist, I think it's completely fair that your head would go, what, like Whitney Houston for The Bodyguard or Dolly Parton for 95, you know, big pop numbers, big ballads, which are designed as singles.

Yeah.

But these songs, they're so intricate and they're so emotional.

And I will always love you.

That was a Middle Eastern style Whitney Houston.

This is the Whitney Houston of the East.

And I will always love you.

That was the Lebanese Habib Albi way.

And the song that I listened to and that I used to play, I still do, is The Greatest Love of All.

He did that originally before Whitney.

And that is the very first song I sang at eight.

And it's because the Head Start program always deals with children and, you know, getting children, you know, better educated and You know, everything like that.

different way and i'd still understand it because i could understand where you were coming from

yeah well she definitely had a unique way about her and unique style and sound and you know when people ask you what what was unique about her you know in her her sound and her style and the way she you know brought emotion to it and all that you know how do you describe it

wow For me personally, besides the height thing, it was being a singer and not being a very Whitney Houston high soprano.

or mesosperm or whatever.

Handsome, draw lines.

Hey, on this day in 1990, I'm Your Baby Tonight, the studio album by Whitney Houston was released.

On this day in 2001, the TV drama series 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland premiered.

Oh my God.

Brown.

And then it was Barbie, and she picked, so she did Whitney Houston, I'm Every Woman.

Why wouldn't she do Barbie Girl? I don't

Michael Jackson.

Okay, Whitney Houston.

Okay, Beyonce.

Come on, bring the phone.

Oh, and also, there's social media.

There's some video going around with two players on the bench laughing and having a good time while Whitney Houston's playing in the stadium in Louisville.
