Same Script Different Cast

Dear Mr. Brown...

Both women, successful, famous and rich beyond dreams. Yet one thing plagued them.


Whitney Houston has had a most illustrious music career with her slew of #1 hits (11, mind you), multiple awards won (a Guiness Book of record entry no less) and millions of records sold (almost 180 million albums, to be exact).

But when she married Bobby Brown, her personal and professional life took a dip.

She was a battered wife.

Look at Rihanna, today, the pop star whose career is upsurging with her own slew of hits and big selling records and whose image emulates Miss Houston , right down to the short cropped hair, the mega watt smile and androgyny and to a penchant of leather-and-fur wear, has her own domestic issues with another Mr. Brown, Chris Brown.

Both Mr. Browns are years younger then the 2 women, too.

The similarities are astounding.
And while the comparisions are flattering to Miss Barbados and rendering Miss Houston , relatable, it is also but a sad and embarassing parallel of seeing History repeat itself.

Rihanna, take a hard look yourself and think well.
It took Whitney 14 years to get out of the rut.

Q... it recalls Whitney's 2000 R&B hit song 'Same Script Different Cast' .
