    I had a dream about Whitney. I heard her voice. She was SANGING in Heaven and her voice was RESTORED. The privilege we had to hear her voice was taken for granted while she was on earth. How joyous to hear it again someday for eternity!

      Love to all Whitney Houston Mega fans forever , Taking Whitney Houston for granted no no no no no no no no no no no no no no never never, I think what probably happened is that we loved her too much and it was so much for her to deal with being perfect singing Amazing all the time it is a lot of work being magnificent and stayin magnificent and understanding what it is to be magnificent it could be a lot of pressure WHITNEY!!!!

    Kind and gentle soul, with a beautiful body and spectacular voice (both speaking and singing). She was truly angel-like in her youth, before all the more negative aspects of stardom started to get to her. I know it's not realistic because we live in an imperfect world, but I wish she could have stayed this way forever. 😍

      @@ralphkramden2089 Cissy wanted that ever so slight masculine or non girly side to never come out of Whitney. Whitney wasn't sitting like "A Lady" in this interview. No judgement, just an observation in comparison to what the old-school World considered "sitting lady like". I'm sure Cissy would have corrected that if she was there. We know she was raised well, however, Whitney was also raised with a strict mother. Its a fact is not an opinion. Cissy was grooming her to be who became. Cissy is a performer, and a woman from another era, so for a woman to sit here like this; very relaxed, very casual. I'm certain Cissy would have wanted her legs crossed like a lady and her posture a little straighter. But WE Love Whitney as is. That was part of the woman's problem she could never just be herself.
