We are very excited to announce this year’s winner of The Whitney E. Houston Cover Song Competition! The winner is Monique Abbadie (@moniquesongbird ) and she will be performing at this year’s Legacy of Love Gala on August 8 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Monique is a huge Whitney fan and said: ” Whitney Houston has been my greatest musical inspiration for as long as I can remember. I grew up singing her songs, studying every note, every phrase and every performance. She taught me that true greatness comes from combining extraordinary vocal ability with honesty, emotion and vulnerability. Being a part of this is an opportunity to honor the artist who inspired me to dream of becoming a singer.”
