Whitney Houston in her own words: A clear look into her soul

- Опубликовано: 15 фев 2012
- I produced this video in 2010 as a demo of how we could repurpose our library of movie star interviews... Whitney Houston gave us a long and intimate look into her life. She shared her rise to fame, crediting her mother Cissy Houston for teaching her how to sing, She also shared the bittersweet side of fame that took her away from her early love of gospel music. Whitney Houston, RIP. This is the original cut of the Houston interview. I have recently recut and mixed the interview with footage from Whitney Houston's new feature film Sparkle, with Jordan Sparks. I am using the interview to draw attention to the book "nearly Famous, Secrets, Lies and Videotape" written by Reba Meriill, the interviewer who sat down with all these stars. She shares her own struggle with addiction and how that impacted her life and career as one of Hollywoods top celebrity interviewers. her book is available through amazon.com tiny.cc/xkdwgw

😢😢
Quote:"The first angel i remember to see, is my mother!" Very, very moving to me! That's soul!
It's worth noting how she tried to explain to people that just because you have talent, fortune, and fame,it does not exclude you from pain, and trouble. In fact, sometimes it brings it to you as it looks like it did to her. Nobody has the right to judge her or expect her to be anything more than human even though she seemed more than that.
exactly! thanks for seeing that.
Great comment. I agree. I see such a humble women who knows shes a human being who makes mistakes from time to time as we all do. She was a beautiful life.
slickjilly not only that.. she wanted to walk away but Clive convinced her to come back
That's the very most beautiful statement I've ever read here. Thanks for that clever view !
I like your point honestly they did not treat her right the tabloid made up a lot of lies about her but she found ways to try exclude them from her life
Whitney is just truly gorgeous, simply beautiful inside and out
what she said about "finding yourself" before you are famous is so true. That's exactly why child stars so often end up in awful situations! A child cannot find themselves. You have to be mature.
Sad but true
I swear ... it's like fame chokes and retards their growth as people...
Yes it's like a drug
+Dat81boi 825 Also remember that grieving fans of Whitney deals with it however they choose to but I will listen the song you recommend I never heard that one well peace.
Like Barry Gibb said "First fame is a very dangerous thing". When it comes so sudden, the fame and the money, not every one can handle it.
gone but never forgotten
They should retire the National Anthem before football games - Whitney still owns it - since her performance in 1991 - it was all left on the field - and there ain't none better!!! If you are an American - and that performance does not send shivers up and down your spine and goosebumps on your arms - check your pulse - you may be dead already - as THAT was what Francis Scott Key was thinking - when he wrote the song!!!
I have to see it at least every couple of months. And yes, it still gives me goosebumps, and tears too. I love the part when she sings "oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave". They way she turned her head. She knew she killed it. So so so perfect. Won't be another one of them anytime soon, if ever.
Her words about how to properly sing,makes you think. It really shows you how much she respects and appreciates it. Hollywood really breaks down our gifted entertainers. Whitney was something special,like everyone else on earth. She is finally at peace. I can really tell how this woman valued life. She was really chosen to speak to us through singing,she loved herself like her song," The greatest love of all", said. This video really brought me to tears,because it touches me in a way I will always remember in the future. Rest in peace,Whitney.
People that want to be famous should listen to this woman's words. She knew how fake it all was, and I think it killed her.
Amen. You are so right
***** First of all drugs did not kill her she had a heart attack but also had drugs in her system .
eyhana Merchant drugs definitely did put her in the shape she was in when she died however. You cannot look at a video of her in 2010 and a video of her in 1990 and tell me she was overall healthier in 2010. Even though drug use may have been happening in 1990, by 2012 she couldn't even sing and had no or little teeth and breathed heavily when not even moving much.
Couldnt have said that better myself!
MeMe M cocaine can kill the first time or the millionth time like Whitney. The heart just stops.
She was a very consious and articulate woman.
Yes she was and very knowledgeable about a lot of American history and the music industry she could have taught them and there were other jobs she could have done but that time with her daughter she needed that a good mother realizes this and that she was.
Thid really saddened and scared me.
A simple life with no fame is so rewarding.
She's so right! Money is nothing compared to happiness! I'm glad she spoke on that! Happiness is within! She's so beautiful with a good spirit and so humble I truly look up to her!
I have seen celebrities in public on several occasions. I have made it a point never to approach them. Even if eye contact is made I just smile and give them a nod. Im sure they appreciate having privacy once in a blue mood. Poor Whitney. She was very good to people
This shows whitney in such a different light it is one of my favorite videos. Whitney is so wise.
Thank you
Knowing. She knows whats up and how the business works. Obviously in her personal life her decisions were not so smart
+Abbas Miah it's not a matter of intelligence/wisdom or lack thereof that caused her downfall. She had a disease plain and simple. Addition doesn't just target people who lack wisdom/intelligence, it doesn't discriminate. She couldn't help being an addict as much as someone can help having heart disease or diabetes. Sure there are ways to manage the Illness of addiction but it's exceptionally hard especially if you've been an addict for most of your adult life. Oh and before you say something like "but she chose to do drugs" initially, yes that may be true but she didn't choose to be an addict. Some people can do drugs/alcohol socially and stop whenever they want and unfortunately addicts (someone predisposed to addiction) can't.
+Gerard Engelbrecht well said. After I produced the Whitney video I started producing real life stories... Many dealing with addiction. Loved what you said about addiction is not a choice- please like my FB page to see more. facebook.com/TriCuzz
+Abbas Miah the people that influence her lifestyle drover her to this 🤔 media can sell the bullshit !! but she was contracted for life and its blood in blood out !!!
Fame may seem silly, but it's scary. Fame destroys people, destroys their lives, and their careers.
+Shawnay Warren It all depends on how you handle fame.
Dennis Jacks Yeah.
"Success doesn't change you fame does" .. Makes sense to me.
Whitney was no fool, in fact her first angel (her "dear" Mom). Taught her plenty.
Looking back at this video, makes me wonder had Whitney stayed in the church. Perhaps singing gospel, would her life have turned out differently.
Righttt. I truly believe she was wrestling with singing secular music vs. gospel. She was definitely good at both..
What
Denzel told her
About her self
Was TRUE
Such a sweet good hearted person
Yes
😭💔 she should still be here. So young and still had so much life left to live
This shows how important Cissy Houston was to Whitney-a loving mother.
+Michael Walker Wells he lied about Cissy being able to sing - have you seen those videos on youtube! Child - put the volume on low and get ready to cringe!
Whitney was not close to her mother as they both let on
@@mariahyohannes lies
@@gene1536 lies and hate
So sad :( I still miss her terribly not being here with us. I get some comfort knowing she's at some better peace and paradise with her maker. I Look To You is my favorite album & gives me comfort daily. Thank you for that last gift Whitney
Love her so much😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
God gifted singer
Damn, she was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, As well as talented beyond belief 💜 love you Whitney 🎤
Around the four minute mark, Ms. Houston talks about how money not buying happiness. When I went looking for employment after college, my grandfather warned me that money won't buy happiness regardless of how much money you make. He even said that either you live within what that paycheck says or you pay a heavy price for not doing so. This two to three days after my father said that nobody is too good for a certain job, regardless of one's level of talent, education, or natural ability. I've never heard better advice in my life. We all need to live according to it if we're going to make it in the world today.
I was in tears watching this man 🤦🏽♂️😢🖤 Money definitely doesn’t make you happy still go through a hard everyday normal life she was tired
Even the way her voice sounded when she spoke was lovely. Miss you Whitney. Grateful for RUclips and the way I can listen to you on here now anytime I want.
I can literally feel her pain.
I am from Kenya and I loved Whitney Houston so much ...but God knows why
00:58 she needed an angel so badly. especially during her come back, someone must have sent her angels. still heartbroken :( rest in peace
That was beautiful.......
Thanks jay
: What a Gorgeous!... Gorgeous!... Angelic Woman!... I miss you everyday, Whitney!... ox...
Love this queen Whitney rip baby!!!
Damn what a beautiful woman, and her voice....it's just phenomenal. Why oh why did she throw it all away? Iwaly!
NippysGuard she has sung so many songe that are usually about love, dream, belief,... They truly help a lot of people go through their difficult days, I'm one of them. But sadly, she couldn't overcome bad things that happened to her own life. Maybe in another conception, her soul is just have another way to go, maybe her death is not really the end. I just got to say I love her very dearly, deep in my heart. I miss you, a very beaautiful soul, Whitney, thank you for inspiring me ♡
NippysGuard
She did not throw it away, she had her demons like many people.
She gave us everything she could.
Sadly she lived in a world of self medicating
I.love this woman!!!! " she still.an angel in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!
she was one of a kind, a uniquely sounding voice of an true angel...made cold chills run up me...so very beautiful. never forget this woman.. one of the best.
Truly One of The Beautiful People of The World.....
Whitney Huston was my favor, with the Greatest Love Of All, and I will Always Love You.
I miss Whitney and Michael so much, and then her daughter. I felt so bad for her daughter. I miss her !!! Her voice is one to imitate, Gosh, her voice was the best !.
Her daughter was trying to keep her mind together she stared a little show that Tyler directed it seems like she liked her role thumbs up I was watching it, I liked it
It's nice to see Whitney is this clip acknowledge and praise her mother...being guided in the ways of the art of song. Whitney: "She's (Cissy Houston) the master at it"
she is so beautiful and talented! :) so sad not strong enough to protect herself from evil!
I just like to say I appreciate the love &soul Whitney put into her music she will alway be the most beautiful woman in all version . Happy Birthday Whitney Houston you will live for every in my heart
REST IN SPIRIT❤🙏, A GIFT IN TIME. THANK U CREATOR
As you said it baby!!! Many doesn't make us happy! That's so true but many of us misunderstand that, thinking that when you're rolling in it, you're already in Paradise!!! R.I.P!!!
I cried after this. R.I.P whitney
it is interesting to put together a persons words spoken years ago with the reality of today... How often do your past words stand up to your present situation?
The devil will give you fame, money, power and wrap it in a beautiful bow but underneath it all is a trap and a path to destruction.
Well Said !!!
no devil or god give any thing to you....foolish person if you do not get up your ass and work hard for it . IT WOULD NOT COME TO YOU..MONEY OPEN DOORS BUT YOUR HEART AND MIND HAVE TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT AND GOOD ONES .TO GO THROUGHT.
Boom Chicka Amen! And Satan will release the trap door under you. I pray that Whitney was able to cry out to God in the end. This is a hard lesson. So sad
Money and good health is what makes you happy. Can't do much without either. Sad but true.
Forever The Voice & The Queen Of Pop Always & Forever. My Mama Whitney Houston. I Miss You So Much.

beautiful soul ❤
Love you Whitney. You were one of the Greats. And will be missed.
So open. So honest.
What happened to her?
Just sad
Thanks for the video. The closing was awesome!
thank you for uploading this video, it is really meaning world to me.
Beautiful
Beautiful tribute... #tragicstory
Thank you whitney. For giving us the greatest voice of our time. What a shame you couldn't find true happiness here on earth. But I know your singing with the Angel's in Heaven. R.i.P nippy!!🙏🏾🙏🏾
Like this some good points
I'm only 13 and I cried through this
+Toni Williams why?
She said I like myself,I like me.
Incredible video you produced. Thank you!! I love stuff like this, the truth. I did my own documentary about Phyllis Hyman, and a few shorts on Jermaine Stewart, Vesta Williams.. and so I totally understand. Thank you for thinking from the heart on this one! ;) Cheers!
Thanks, it's the only way for me to tell a story. It's why I left producing publicity for film studios and focused on non profits.
Yes good job Cheryl, she spoke the truth and nicely published!
I read Cissy's book and when she said:"Whitney STOLE all of her style in terms of singing..." It made me think 🤔: "What does that really mean?" A jealous mother?! Jealous of her own daughter's career?! Come on, now! She's your Baby girl, Cissy! Please!!! Be PROUD of your Baby! 😢
I miss Whitney she was the classic I loved it when told wendy gossip willona wiiliams off
Norway love you Whitney
You know when you are an artist the folks that buy your records aer drawn to the artist because that art, music vocal style touches them. Its soul touching soul. So you feel that you can relate especially when the interpretation of a song stirs up emotion. You make an emotional connection that why your records get sold. So to say her drug addiction is none of the publics business is wrong. Her fans care and love her its everybody's darn business when a beautiful person destroys themself.
She will be missed.... RIP Whitney Houston..
In 2022 still listening to my favorite vocalist Whitney forever
This is a beautiful vid!
I LOVE WHITNEY... I am 29 years old & have always LOVED HER. I am having a very hard time understanding why GOD would take her & her daughter away so soon.
It's devastating ... At every thought... Don't cry for me ... Listen to Whitney's version... It's soothing and comforting
+mylove She was ready to go back home... She lived her life. It was beautiful and full... and she fulfilled his promise to her...Bobbi wished to be with her mother. She and her mother were soulmates.
mylove Jesus wept. God did not take their lives. The enemy did. Soon there will be no more death. God permits it. Jesus is coming soon
mylove Gods plans are in place , actually the mercy of the Lord is great . This world is not our home only a passing thru .
3:01 as beautiful as Lela is, Whitney looks like a bonafide model. From 1986 to even about 1999 (even in 2002), she was SO beautiful.
tangled55 so basically you’re saying after 2002 she didn’t look good ????
I love you and your daughter are special person to me and says r.i.p I miss yall so much.
peace for whitney
Sad y'all may you be graceful in Peace
I appreciate my Heavenly Mother for giving birth to all women in the world. im a man with all appreciation to our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for the creation of all women, Whitney Houston is one of the most beautiful woman in creation.

Her mother was hard on her, Whitney praised her
I miss u and when I sing ur still with me
as Whitney talks about her mother you can see that she clearly has something she can't say like something else hurt her other than what she is speaking about
+neighbor lee it is possible to edit the mouth, but not the energy, an for one to do this you must see beyond the show🙂
+neighbor lee 😄apologies I don't see black and white
+neighbor lee an cut the crappy she made people happy with her angellic voice "🙄😐 that music drove her insane!!! her voice was nice? from sheer fucking misery anger and torture! and only til she begin to become depicted ignorantly by the media she was not being called a junky !!!! so awareness brings me to seeing that those who provide the platform control the show !
+neighbor lee oh fuck your documented sources that feed you fuel !!! Im not atvlibetty to prove shit to you!!! this women grew up in the hands of the industry her parents were under this same influence!!! they all do this to these children as to why when they get older they diagnose them with shit so they are looked at as I'll just like city children diagnosed with ADHD and autism 😄 fuck outta here they are not of this world indeed but they dam sure know this planet need help and those sources keep them away from their true selves because they'd have no got dam industry to even profit this hell to !
Rip whitney your the best . All the rest that follows anyone of us could of fallen as u did. Your daughter wanted you. And god bless her she found peace.
Młodzi,piękni,utalentowani..umierają za szybko.Presja , którą niesie niesamowity talent,i zbyt ogromne oczekiwania od tzw.schoł biznesu zabrały już na drugą stronę wiele osób.Może doceńmy współczesnych wokalistów, których naprawdę mamy..., a którzy są przedmiotem plotek,i kpin.Uszanujmy głos,i talent.
FOREVER THE VOICE MY SWEET ANGEL MAMA WHITNEY HOUSTON. WHOM I LOVE & MISS SO VERY MUCH. AND WHOM I STILL LOVE & MISS EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY WHOLE LIFE.
I love and miss her so
I don't know her, but I know this: Whitney is FULL of love. I want to be like that.
Elle me manque et cela pour toujours
SHes so fucken right . FAME changes you . I love n miss u so much
I love the way she spoke about her mother Cissy and how she learned to sing and command her voice!!! She was Amazing... I love her and Cissy. Cissy was a back up singer for Elvis Presley.
I believe Cissy left the back up group so she could raise her children.
still she's beautiful... no matter what the trash they say
i agree with what you are saying to a point. they are common to the extent that they are one of, if not, the most serious issues a singer faces. i agree that solid vocal technique, etc prevents them, but in Whitney's case, that wouldn't matter. i say that because she sang too often and too frequently without adequately resting her voice. one can have the BEST technique EVER but nodules, among other things, will occur if the singing schedule isn't centered around time for renewal/rejuvenation.
I love whitney
This is a very enlightening interview. It is true, money and fame does not bring you happiness. Look at these Hollywood stars, they all have issues even though they have money. This should be a lesson to the youngsters who want instant fame and live in a material world. Careful, you might end up like her.
beautiful women!!!
Love u Whitney
0:03 - 0:08 “ SUCCESS DOES’NT CHANGE YOU , FAME DOES “ RIP WHITNEY
I like you too Whitney.
All we know is what the media has said about Whitney's life.If we were not there with Whitney, then we can't say what she was doing.
4:20 - 4:35 RIGHT , RIGHT , EXACTLY , “ YOU GOTTA FIND THE HAPPINESS IN YOURSELF “ “ I LIKE ME “ RIP WHITNEY
Whitney daría cualquier cosa por verte canta .No tuve la suerte que otros tuvieron al poder conocerte eres mi mayor estrella mi cantante favorita .Siempre te llevo dentro de mi corazón y en mi mente
can you post the other version please? so that we can see it also. Thanks
Diana Ross was the perfect role model. Diana understood that it was all about fantasy and public opinion.
Too true.....
I *still* can't believe this woman is dead?...I mean
*her and Michael Jackson?* C'mon! that's just not
right?...She should have had many years left here on this earth.
Stella Parisima Well, I happen to think it's something a little more sinister going on.
I know alot of people scream "conspiracy" but it's not far fetched at all if you really do some investigating...
Otrebor Fashion scene That's true, Their life styles more than anything is what ends up killing them. but, it's a new day and a new age and the celebrities of today sell out alot more, or have to pay "a higher price for fame" then ever before.
It's no longer about the "talent or the skills"
of the person, they just want to get paid and be worshipped like a god.
T Davis I KNOW RIGHT ME TOO! OH HONEY TRUST ME, YOU R NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS THAT WAY!
T Davis
On self destruct like Amy Winehouse, nothing can stop it
The LIST OF RUclips VIDEOS U SEE TO THE RIGHT.
