At 11 Houston began to follow in her mother's footsteps and started performing as a soloist in the junior gospel choir at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark where she also learned how to play piano.Houston's first performance in the church was Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah.

When Houston was a teenager she attended a Catholic girls high school Mount Saint Dominic Academy where she met her best friend Robyn Crawford who she describes as ''the sister she never had''.While Houston still in school her mother continued to teach her how to sing.With addition to her Mother,Franklin and Warwick Houston was also exposed to the music of Chaka Khan,Glady's Knight and Roberta Flack whom would have an impact on her life as a singer and performer.

Halle Barry Asks A Judge For Permission To Move To France With Nahla And Olivier Martinez

Halle asked a judge for permission to relocate to France with daughter Nahla and boyfriend Olivier Martinez recently.Halle took the custody battle up a notch with moving to France with Nahla.She could argue why France is safer than Hollywood or that maybe it could be for her career but you have to wonder if this is just another way to keep distance between Nahla and her Daddy Gabriel Aubry.

Halle Barry And Olivier Martinez Are Engaged

Reports surfaced that Halle wants to move to France with her daughter and her boyfriend.People close to Halle originally shot down rumors that they were engaged.

Though they have not announced it publicly new sources say that Halle and Olivier did indeed get engaged after the first of this year.

It would be weird to ask a judge to let you move with your daughter away from her dad so that you can shack up with your boyfriend in another country so the engagement would make sense.Halle also have been getting numerous death threats from stalkers and the move might make her and Nahla safer.
