On the 9th of November 1989 the Berlin Wall fell. It was a wall that divided Berlin into two separated parts; East Berlin and West Berlin.
It was the the Germans from the West that started to think that the wall was irrelevant. As you can see in the videos below, there were very many people there who protested against the wall's existence. They then started to wreck the wall as a protest. Then the East's government said that they were going to make at least a dozen more openings in the wall, since the West's had started to wreck it (second video).
Before the wall fell, it was a dangerous place. There was two thin walls, and the space between them (the pictures below) was called the Death strip. Hundreds of people who tried to escape to the other side was shot there. As you also can see on the picture, there's people walking in the Death strip. They were cleaners, who picked up trash that people threw over the wall. The wall on the West side was also filled with graffiti.

Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston was born at the 9th of August 1963 in New Jersey, USA. She was an amazing singer, and she was also an actress and producer. Two of her most famous songs are "I will always love you", and "I wanna dance with somebody". She has also acted in, for example, "The Bodyguard" in 1992, along with Kevin Costner.
In 2012, she died in her hotel room in Beverly Hills, California, only 48 years old. She was found dead just a few hours before an annual party which is hold before the Grammy Awards. Later, they found out that she drowned in her bathtub after an overdose of cocaine.
She had problems with drugs since 1992 when she starred in Bodyguard, but several times she said that she had dealed with them (but that doesn't have to be true).
The world was really sad when one of the biggest stars in the industry was gone. In the 80's, she was discovered by Clive Davis (boss for Artista Records), when she was singing at night clubs. Her debut album Whitney Houston came out in 1985. It was a success, and it was sold in over 25 million copies. Her second album, Whitney, made her famous all over the world.
Whitney made 6 albums, 4 compilation albums, and one christmas album. She also was in 5 movies, and one TV-series.

Translation of Whitney's song "I wanna dance with somebody"
Huh, yeah, woo, hey yeah, huh Huh, yeah, woo, hey yeah, huh
Ooh yeah, uh huh, yeah Ooh yeah, uh huh, yeah
I want to dance Jag vill dansa
Clock strikes upon the hour Klockan slår till timmen
And the sun begins to fade Och solen börjar gå ner
Still enough time to figure out Fortfarande tillräckligt med tid för att komma på
How to chase my blues away Hur jag ska jaga iväg min deppighet
I've done alright up 'til now Jag har gjort det okej fram tills nu
It's the light of day that shows me how Det är ljuset i dagen som visar mig hur
And when the night falls Och vid skymningen
Loneliness calls Kallar ensamhet
[Chorus 2x:] [Refräng 2x:]
Oh! I wanna dance with somebody Åh! Jag vill dansa med någon
I wanna feel the heat with somebody Jag vill känna hettan med någon
Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody Ja! Jag vill dansa med någon
With somebody who loves me Med någon som älskar mig
I've been in love and lost my senses Jag har varit kär och tappat kontrollen
Spinning through the town Snurrat runt i staden
Sooner or later the fever ends Förr eller senare försvinner febern
And I wind up feeling down Och jag slutar med att känna mig nere
I need a man who'll take a chance Jag behöver en man som ska ta en chans
On a love that burns hot enough to last På en kärlek som bränner tillräckligt varmt för att stanna
So when the night falls Så vid skymningen
My lonely heart calls Kallar mitt ensamma hjärta
[Chorus 2x:] [Refräng 2x:]
Oh! I wanna dance with somebody Åh! Jag vill dansa med någon
I wanna feel the heat with somebody Jag vill känna hettan med någon
Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody Ja! Jag vill dansa med någon
With somebody who loves me Med någon som älskar mig
Somebody who, somebody who... Någon som, någon som...
somebody who loves me, Någon som älskar mig,
somebody who loves me, Någon som älskar mig,
Somebody who, somebody who... Någon som, någon som...
to hold me in his arms. Att hålla mig i hans famn
to hold me in his arms. Att hålla mig i hans famn
I need a man who'll take a chance, Jag behöver en man som ska ta en chans
On a love that burns hot enough to last. På en kärlek som bränns tillräckligt varmt för att stanna.
So when the night falls, Så vid skymningen,
My lonely heart calls. Kallar mitt ensamma hjärta.
[Chorus 2x:] [Refräng 2x:]
Oh! I wanna dance with somebody Åh! Jag vill dansa med någon
I wanna feel the heat with somebody Jag vill känna hettan med någon
Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody Ja! Jag vill dansa med någon
With somebody who loves me Med någon som älskar mig
Uh-Huh Uh-huh
