Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on August 09, 1963)

Happy birthday to the iconic Whitney Houston, whose voice could make even our neighbor's karaoke attempts sound tolerable! Your timeless rendition of "I Will Always Love You" still remains unmatched—sending chills down spines and bringing tears to eyes every single time. Not bad for someone who makes hitting high notes seem as effortless as breathing.

From dazzling us onscreen in "The Bodyguard" to skyrocketing to stardom with award-winning hits that refuse to age, you've set an impossibly high standard. Even after all this time, when people try those power ballads at karaoke night and fail remarkably—it's clear: Whitney did it best!

Thank you for forever raising the bar.
