Why Keke Palmer Wants to Portray Whitney Houston in a Movie

Like Houston, Palmer has also balanced a professional acting and music career. She released her debut album, So Uncool, in 2007 and has since dropped another album, three mixtapes, four EPs, and almost two dozen singles, including “Bottoms Up 2.0,” which was re-released earlier this year.

“I’m just gonna step into my big bossness and just like, let that live,” the star said about her music evolution. “I think that’s been the big journey for me, and so a lot of my music is representative of me not being afraid of that.”

Palmer is currently involved in another musical endeavor—she has partnered with McCormick to announce the America’s Got Tacos song contest, which calls on taco lovers to create an original jingle for a chance to win $50,000.

“I’m looking for something that’s unique and original,” the actress told E! News. “You know, just like, a fun vibe. I’m looking for somebody that’s just bringing something original to the table and having fun. I think that’s the main thing is that we want people to have fun while doing this.”
