"How will I know"

"How will I know" was performed by Whitney Houston and released in 1985 which was originally prepared for Janet Jackson but was eventually given to Whitney. I used to love Whitney Houston, in fact when I was a tot I bought the album of her greatest hits. I still think she is an incredibly gifted singer. I remember fighting with my dad saying that I thought she is the best singer ever and he said she's just a screamer . Well I must say she does scream a bit but she can really hit those high notes. Let's give her credit.

Anyway when I used to hear this song back in the 80's to me it was such a poppy, perky, happy go lucky song and I used to sing along to the lyrics. I remember hearing this song and the song " I want to dance with somebody" which was released round the time of " Dirty Dancing " being released and I thought it was a song from " Dirty Dancing" . She really had some great hits. The song was written about having a crush on a boy and not knowing if he likes you or not and wanting to phone him but being too shy. I could relate to that.. when I was in school I had a crush (in fact I had a few) and of course the boy I liked every other girl in school liked and he always ended up with the most popular girl.
