    I absolutely love Whitney Houston, there is not another soul alive that can still measure up to her talent. This is the year I had my oldest daughter & I named after Whitney. RIP Whitney - may God be with Bobbi K.

But Krystal left a daughter name Krissy and she was only 3 but at the age of 5 now she is broken from the lost of her mother. Its hard for a mother and daughter that carrys the love of GOD

      Lol, I’m late but thought I’d answer anyways 🙂But earlier in the interview, he asked her who would she like to do a song with, and she mentioned Michael, however, Michael hadn’t reached out to her or called her on doing a song with together even though they had talked about it. So basically Donnie was making a joke and comparing her wanting to do a movie with Robert to her also waiting by the phone for Michael to call to do a song together.

    @MrChicago891 I just checked out "Miracle" and I don't think it's "strange" at all that it's never played and not featured. It's not a catchy tune. Its beautiful and Whitney sang it better than anyone could with all her talent and passion (I love her). But I can see why it didn't make it, for example, on the wonderful "Greatest Hits" DVD (2000) that I own. I love that dvd. (May she RIP)
