This month's Sister2Sister magazine features an interview with her. The following is an excerpt related to Whitney Houston: When she met Whitney, Tarralyn fell down and held on to Whitney's legs. "I probably made a big fool out of myself, but I don't care, that's Whitney," Tarralyn said. I wouldn't let her go. When I hugged her she was like, 'Oh I love your voice.' I was thinking, Whitney Houston loves my voice? I told her that I loved her so much and she has been totally an inspiration to me. Also Towanda Cofield, a runner up in the contest said the best thing that happened to her was recording at the Hit Factory but she still has to put it second to meeting Whitney. [Thanks Kaciana]
