In Praise of Divas: Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston
Andrew Chan presents Why Mariah Carey Matters
Emily Lordi launches Holding Lightning: The Life, Loves, and Art of Whitney Houston
Wine reception to follow
Cultural critics Andrew Chan and Emily Lordi come together for a discussion on pop divas, fandom, and pop history through the careers of music legends Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston! Chan returns to Greenlight with his beloved book Why Mariah Carey Matters, the first book to critically examine the creative evolution, complicated biography, and ultimate legacy of the arguably underappreciated pop superstar. Lordi launches her new book Holding Lightning, a showstopping portrait and the first major biography of icon Whitney Houston. With unique access to the star's innermost circle, Lordi presents Houston as we’ve never seen her before—a woman in her full power, a musician who knew the impact of her gift, and a fulcrum of Black celebrity. Chan and Lordi celebrate the impact of true divas Carey and Houston with a joint reading and discussion, before an audience Q&A and signing.
