Unique Client Solutions Watches Whitney Houston Laid to Rest


Singing sensation Whitney Houston’s funeral took place at her childhood church on Saturday in front of a star-studded congregation. Unique Client Solutions watched the moving ceremony live on television.

Unique Client Solutions was shocked to hear of the death of Whitney Houston a week ago. The star was found dead in the bath of her hotel room. Exactly a week later her funeral took place at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey where Whitney first sang as a child.

Over 1,500 mourners filled the church which saw her The Bodyguard co-star, Kevin Costner, pay tribute to the “sweet miracle” of her life. Costner spoke of the unusual similarities between their lives, growing up in the Baptist Church, and offered many amusing anecdotes from her childhood. Unique Client Solutions felt that of all the tributes to Houston’s life, his was the most touching. He told the congregation, “Whitney returns home today to the place where it all began.” He urged them to “dry our tears, suspend our sorrow and perhaps our anger.”

Singing tributes included Stevie Wonder singing Love’s in Need of Love Today, and Alicia Keys Send me an Angel. Unique Client Solutions were surprised to learn that Aretha Franklin, Houston’s godmother, had been due to sing but pulled out as she was unwell. Echoing their turbulent marriage, ex-husband Bobby Brown stormed out of the church before the service began apparently because of a disagreement over the size of his entourage.

Though fans were kept away from the service itself, many took up vigils at the edge of the police barriers. The director of Unique Client Solutions said, “It seems a shame that fans weren’t allowed to stand outside the church to pay their last respects. I know that many watched it streamed live on the internet as we did at Unique Client Solutions.  The news was met with great sadness by all of us, it is always distressing to see such an incredible talent die young.”

Whitney Houston’s songs have seen a huge surge in sales in the week since her death. I Will Always Love You reached number 7 in the Billboard 100 chart. Unique Client Solutions is certain that her songs will remain popular well after her death.

Unique Client Solutions Anticipates Adele’s Grammy Comeback


Unique Client Solutions couldn’t be more excited about Adele’s planned comeback at the Grammys next week.
Adele had microsurgery on her throat last November and she has not performed since the operation. Unique Client Solutions are big fans of Adele and were gutted when they heard the news of her cancelled tour dates. The 23 year old singer said she was ‘immensely proud’ to be performing at the ceremony on 12th February. The ceremony will take place in Los Angeles and the star has been nominated for an incredible 6 nominations including Record of the Year for Rolling In The Deep.
Unique Client Solutions respect the determination and commitment Adele has put into her recovery and music to make sure this is a comeback to remember. A spokesperson for the company commented, “At Unique Client Solutions we believe that musicians are simply a creative entrepreneur; they take something special and unique and shape it into a profitable business. Creating success as an artist includes brand management, networking and a unique selling point is always an advantage. These are all characteristics necessary to run a successful business.”
Other Brits nominated include Radiohead, Mumford and Sons, Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Corinne Bailey Tae and Susan Boyle.  Amy Winehouse might win a posthumous award for her duet with Tony Bennett. “It’s another great year for British music,” comments Unique Client Solutions.
Unique Client Solutions will definitely be watching the show on the 12th February. It seems there will be another come-back on the night. It has just been announced that The Beach Boys will also be performing at the ceremony! Unique Client Solutions will also be keeping an eye out to see what crazy outfit Lady Gaga wears this year…
