      Whitney and Dionne W have similar vocal characteristics, so that wouldn't make sense. Also, Diahann Carroll starred in "Julia" 1968 a series that ran for 3 years on ABC and at one point it was a top 10 show. Yeah, it was a sitcom...but you probably should give her props too. P.S Love your content, great channel. Love Ms Falana!

Everything about this woman looks like Whitney to include the shape of her teeth and upper lip. Not to mention the fact that they both had something so close in common, Whitney’s father. It just makes since at this point.

      What I find so disturbing is all the stars who where sleeping with children, and nobody was doing any thing about it. I was mortified when I watched the life story of Athrea Franklin and found out she had two babies before the age of 14, and her father impregnated a 13 year old. Pricilla Presley was 14 when she started dating Elvis and he was 11 years older than her. There are too many Hollywood stories of adults sleeping with and impregnating children.

But the info about her possibly being Whitney's mom certainly give us something to think about. I guess the question would be did Teresa and Whitney's father, John know eachother? If so, then it's quite possibly another one of Entertainment's biggest secret. There's no denying that Whitney and Teresa look alike and share many similar traits and mannerisms.

      It makes perfect sense and I'm sure Whitney knew. People look down upon drugs addicts before they know their story, we all have a story one way or another but not all turn to drugs and self sabotage. If there was ever a reason or trigger for Whitney to be embroiled in substance abuse it would be the lack of self esteem and love she felt as a child, the seeming rejection/removal of her real mother and the lack of identity she felt in the family she was forced to be part of. That would haunt anyone. I know it's an assumption but it's definitely a good one. RIEP TO THEM BOTH💫⬆️💫

    This could be true. Abortions were illegal back then so many girls were forced to give up their children to a family member to raise as their own. I was born around that same time. My mother was sixteen. When it was discovered that my mother was pregnant, my grandparents decided to send my mother to Kansas to have the baby and let my grandmother's younger cousin adopt me. My mother was there for one month and was miserable! She cried to my grandmother all the time. Against my grandfather's wishes, my sweet grandmother went to get my mother. My mother had me but my grandparents raised me. I am so thankful !!
    I believe that this is Whitney's mother!! The resemblance, mannerisms and voice is undeniable. Maybe this is why she became a Jehovahs Witness. Seeking forgiveness for giving away her child. Who knows?? Pretty strange about the timing that she left the business. Whitney looks nothing like the Houston parents. Could also explain why her daddy embezzled all that money. They acted, cissy too, acted like she was a cash cow instead of their daughter, sister, etc. Whitney's voice sounded nothing like cissy but more like Theresa's!! So sad that Theresa and Whitney died so tragically!! RIP Queens!!

      There are too many conicindences with this story to say otherwise. Apart from their physical resemblances, mannerisms, singing voices, speaking voices, the way they walk etc, there are just way too many things adding up. The fact Teresa left the business in 1983, that's when Whitney made her debut on the Merv Griffin show singing "Home". The fact Whitney had a very public breakdown in 2002 with the "crack is whack" interview in December when Teresa passed away in October that same year. The more I look at Teresa, the more I see Whitney. Right down to the fingernails. Even some of Teresa's expressions and the way she moves her mouth look like Bobbi Kristina's. It's funny how all of this is coming to light now. As they say, whatever is in the dark, ALWAYS comes to light.

      Does Whitney HAVE to look like her mother? If so, why? Lots of daughters look like their fathers. Or their grandmothers.

    I could believe this because, the woman that calls herself mother to Whitney; was always trying to bring her down instead of up-lifting her, and Instead she was always trying to push herself up and piggybacking on that beautiful woman life❤

    I never thought that Sissy Houston was Whitney's biological mom. Whitney looks like Teresa Graves and sounded like her in singing voice. I remember my mother talking about "Get Christie Love!" She wondered why Teresa Graves walked away from it all to become a Jehovah's Witness. Whitney is her twin.

    As a kid born in the ‘70s, how is it I’d never heard of Teresa Graves until now? However, I do remember when Whitney Houston came on the scene as a teen model in the ‘80s. Then as a singer, she was incomparable. As an insecure teen, to me she seemed to “have it all”, but as we all know now, this wasn’t true. Both gorgeous, Teresa and Whitney do look and sound a lot alike. Their lives seem similar as well, both very sad, and Teresa’s life and death explains a lot about Whitney herself.😢
