I don't like Barbara Walters to sign up come up under her she got a good answer for everything Miss Whitney Houston said she don't need a rest look up to she got her mother to look up to call Barbara Walters
Loved the way she answered the question whether she was influenced by Diana Ross. NO, Barbara not every black girl/women worship/ or mold from Diana R. Sorry...
i remember having an L:P of Diane Ross, my x husband bought it actually, i loved listening to her, she was excellent, everyone has their own talents, and nobody sounds the same as someone else, Whitney was a huge talent, but so was Diana Ross, personally i think nobody can compare to Patti Labelle..... or today, Celine Dion.....but isn`t it all just about personal taste at the end of the day......i didn`t get the impression she was putting Diana Ross down at all, she simply said NO..
@@Pussycatfeathers NOBODY allow me to repeat NOBODY compares to Whitney Houston. She was hands down the greatest singer to ever exist and if we are talking BEAUTY??? Whitney was equally as beautiful as Elizabeth Taylor and Vivien Leigh who were the most beautiful women in hollywood. Whitney got the voice in the process 😍❤
@@johnpalermo4466 but surely thats a personal opinion, not everybody thinks so....i personally dont think she was the greatest singer...have you ever heard Patti Labelle singing Forever Young at live aid.... she has a voice which absolutely stunned me, i never felt that way listening to Whitney....but yes, i agree she was very beautiful and radiant, i think its unbelievably sad what happened to her. she destroyed herself and her voice
There will never be another Whitney Houston she was the best and no one can ever come close to that great voice and beautiful face she will always be missed.
I always get teary eyed when I see these old interviews of Whitney - she had everything, an amazing voice, beauty and I honestly believe fame destroyed her in the end - especially after the 90's - it was painful to watch her demise during the last 10 years of her life! I loved her and so did many others!!
@lsaturn01 Her problem was, unbelievable as it seems, self doubt! Listen to Kevin Costner's eulogy ...she didn't really believe she was as good as everyone thought she was 🥲
Not fame her self destructive behavior was the reason... That was happened because she had a lot of psychological problems (demons) mostly it came from family I think, a lot of people have the same issues the only difference is that they are not famous
BW: Was Diana one of the people you looked up to? WH: NO.........I had people in my home...My mother. WH: LOL, I DIDN'T NEED TO LOOK UP TO DIANA!!! YASSSSSSS WHITNEY YASSSSSSSSSSSS #BarbaraTriedIt #DianaCantHoldACandleToCissy #ReadWhitneyREAD
"I had a miscarriage. During the filming of the bodyguard. It was very painful- emotionally and physically. It's something I would've liked to say myself, but they didn't have me the opportunity. I was back on the set the next day." It almost sounds like she was pressured into it because she was filming the movie..
@@DanielLopez-zt4ig Bobby didn't motivate her to fo that movie, in fact he and Cissy didn't agree because they didn't want her with a "white man" on screen. Bobby was very jealous of Kevin and he made it known to Kevin what his place was. When Whitney was doing promotion for the Waiting To Exhale movie Bobby said in an interview that thst movie was "one of her better ones" just because she was with a black man on that movie
@@MyTiffany81 not many of them did....and Ross just wasn’t in their league vocally, but I do love her voice, just very commercial, cissy, Dionne, Gladys, Aretha, even Mary Wilson had classic voices....not all the greatest singers make it big like Ross but then again she had a lot of help from berry gordy.....but before you write back let me tell ya Diana Ross is still incredible and a true survivor of the business even if she did get there with a lot of help from Gordy
@@maxipazz8214 he didn’t do that much lol. It was all her creativity and hard work. She designed her stuff to be a fashion icon. She was pissed and used her effortless lower voice for the supremes. But really she was the whole package and it’s rare. Look at today’s artist. There is only one that is even close to Diana and that would be Beyoncé but I guess you would say her dad helped her a lot right??
Well even if her mom and Dionne didn't like her, I'm sure they had they're reasons. Doesn't mean that Whitney dissed her. She was just telling the truth. Barbera sounded ridiculous trying to press repeating the same question. She had already gotten the response of who influenced her. Would Barbera want someone putting in her mouth about who influenced her to go into her career if she clearly named her influences If Whitney had anything against Diana Ross I doubt she would've taken time in one of her own shows to honor her by singing 2 of her songs. She should have felt stupid when Whitney said I didn't have to look to Diana when I was already surrounded by influences
It hurt to hear her talk about the miscarriage mainly b/c its crazy that just like she said, she wasn't able to share that information herself; someone else did. That to me is insensitive and wrong. That's personal, and you could tell she felt the same with how she staggered into talking about it, and how she had choppy sentences & looked away when Barbara asked her questioned about it. But that's the media & paparazzi for you, smh.
Sorry but I have to say - "shade" on diana nO - whitney was sick of hearing comparisons and dealing with jealousy when she came on the scene - up until whitney it was Diana sexy in long gowns owning the stage - but whitney came out like a bullet and was global and huge - she had to deal with a lot of jealousy and from seasoned singers - her beauty and voice was unmatchable - very hard for ppl to handle - and in her early years she constantly let ppl know where and who she came from the great gospel singer Cissy Houston
Kat Sangineto Perhaps she should have taken a few notes from Diana Ross who is STILL here sounding and looking good. Diana didnt get hung up on drugs nor did she get involved with men doing drugs. Neither Berry, Arne, nor Bob Ellis were in to drugs like Bobby. Perhaps she should have taken a few notes on Ross on how to raise children and then Perhaps her Own daughter would not have followed her Drug path. Yes it was shady, and tacky. All she had to say was my mother and cousins were role models for me. I found her answer Cocky and self observant. Reminds me of Natalie Cole who came right out in the beginning saying she thinks she has a better voice then DIana Ross. ok, that is Her opinion which No one ask her to give. Funny how both Whitney snubbing Diana here and Natalie both went DOWN into a Haze of Drugs. Yet Diana is weathered all those Demons. Sure she had a little drunk driving case but she checked HERSELF in to rehab and Stayed until she was better. Unlike Whitney who her mother had her Checked in. But she ended up checking herself Out long before the rehab could even Kick in. . But WHO has NOT driven and not been high on booze. We all have. Diana just got caught and the rest of us was Lucky Not to get caught. I have driven drunk when i was in my 20s but Never got pulled over or killed anyone or had an accident. I was one of the Lucky ones. Of course I know better now to drink in drive as i am in my late 50s. Sorry Whitney I admired your voice and talent. But your little big headed Ego cockyness was showing here and Got on my Nerves several times and I didnt care for it. This is one of her Cocky moods and before the drugs took over completely. I would not doubt if she was doing drugs during this interview. Whatever. as I said. Call Diana whatever but she is Still HERE. Whitney is not. and didnt last near the years Diana has. THink about it. All Ross kids came out pretty good no so for Whitney's only child. Whitney nor Bobby were Good role models for for Bobbi K. and I blame both of them for how Bobbi K turned out. Sadly both Bobbi and Whitney lost their lives way Too Soon.
+Mitchell Steven Indeed I RESPECT Diana Ross with all sincerity but at the same time she was no Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston was a force of nature once in a life time occurrence. God bless her eternal soul, Whitney was anointed by god himself. In life...things happen....people are used as a vessel for something greater than themselves...people are endowed with gifts that are unimaginable ...for beter or worst ...it happens...Whitney was one of those of people. Diana Ross God bless her soul...she was not of the same lineage as Whitney Houston.
ohok83 you must be taking the same drugs Whitney was scoffing down to say some bullshit nonsense that Diana Ross was not of the same lineage as Whitney Houston....Fool if not for DIANA ROSS there would have NEVER been a Whitney Houston. and lets not forget....The Guinness Book of World Records has named Diana Ross as "THE MOST SUCCESSEFUL FEMALE SINGER in THE HISTORY OF MUSIC"! a Title that Houston has never had. and at this point since she self destructed, NEVER WILL. Diana Ross did it first and opened the doors to all that followed her, including Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, and Whitney Houston just to name a few. Diana Ross changed American music and racial divides and was not just an incredible singer and performer but one hell of an actress too. Your comment was completely and totally stupid...Sorry but Whitney Houston and none of the others are on the same Level or Lineage as MISS DIANA ROSS. PERIOD!
thewizboy You're absolutely correct, they aren't on the same lineage as Diana Ross. Because they didn't screw Barry Gordy, and whomever else to make it. Unlike Diana Ross(in my opinion Whitney could sing, as well as act).
thewizboy The fact that you take shots and petty jabs shows how insecure you are in DR and how the point you attempt to make can not be argued successfully. Success is a pretty broad term as it means many different things to many different people. Trying to prove someone's artistic superiority based on stereotypical success is foolish and juvenile. In regards to WH and DR, the proof is in the pudding, i.e., their singing, and to say DR is superior to WH in that area is flat out wrong. Note by note in their respective primes, WH obliterates her in nearly every regard, something that is undeniable and proved not only here on RUclips for all to see, but by listeners' reverence for Whitney. I won't argue about success in terms of sales and popularity(even though WH is literally one of the most successful artist of all time and the most awarded female of all time), but let's try impact. If WH's career only lasted "10 years" like you claim, that speaks volumes upon volumes about her abilities considering she is literally exalted by nearly everyone(audiences, critics, and artists both old and new). For you to say that... just adds to her magnificence. Very few (hypothetically, but realistically no one could) could reach her current status in only 10 years. Besides, in those 10 years... she undeniably cemented herself among the legends in history. She was a living legend at age 30. Argue it all you want, this is undeniable. In this time, she broke records, set records, and broke certain barriers that had not yet even been hit. She is one if not the most influential female vocalist of all time. Her counterparts of the trinity were even influenced by her, interviews of which prove that are here to see on RUclips. Not only that, she has influenced and gained respect from artists in many genres, both old and new. When people think of great female vocalist, many names are listed.... but how long would it take for someone to mention DR IF they would even think to say her name. She is not in the same class as the trinity, Aretha, Patti, Chaka, Pat Benatar, Billie holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand. Not in popularity, not in influence, not in reverence, and most certainly not in vocals alone. Lastly what you said about there would be no WH if there wasn't a DR is the biggest stretch I've ever heard. If there was no Aretha, then maybe there wouldn't be a WH(Even this is untrue). WH was in no way influenced by DR, her career in no way had any impact on WH. Her greatest influences were her Mother and Aretha, with Gladys Knight, Barbra, Chaka and Dionne being secondary influences. "Miss Ross" doesn't deserve any credit for WH success. It's hilarious that you call WH smug and sarcastic when this was nothing compared to the insecurity filled comments DR made before and after WH performance of All at once at the AMAs. CLEARLY someone was feeling threatened. You also speak as if DR has sustained some incredible longevity in her career. But where.... like she has long been forgotten and shadowed by other female vocalists who surpass her. I mean, isn't it funny how she's been in the business for how long yet her reverence is no where near any of the singers I've mentioned, especially not WH. It's pretty clear she is your fav, but in honor of her and whatever impact she might have made, don't make comments that expose insecurity. Be confident enough in her to not feel threatened.
she was incredibly beautiful, absolute clear georgous skin and hypnotic eyes, i remember the first time i saw her in the video for "dance with someone", she was so full of life and energy, its tragic that shes gone, and that her daughter has gone, i hope they are together again......there will never be another Whitney :-(
Whitney could blow better than any Ross that has ever lived. Barbara know she was wrong for asking that stupidity. Hell Florence Ballard sang better than Diana.
There was a period in the music industry for black female singers to be compared to Diana Ross, they did this to uphold that standard which ofcourse was weird. Diana did big things and was always great in her own right especially when it comes to her performances. But we also had Dionne Warwick, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle but they always wanted to compare to Diana in the sense the one that appealed to the masses and majority white audiences. That's why they needed Whitney to take over that imagae cause that was what they knew. It's not the artists fault the record companies were responsible for that they were crafting black females images to yet again appeal to white audiences. But their individuality especially Whitney's was very clear she was something else and unique she didn't get her status as the greatest singer of all times for nothing.
thewizboy Diana Ross daughter Rhonda Ross father is in fact Berry Gordy. So yes Diana Ross did fuck her way to the top. Also listen to her and Florence Ballard. Florence Ballard voice was way more powerful than Diana's. Have a good evening
thewizboy you do realize that it was actually diana that was jealous of whitney dumbass. why would diana be whitneys influence when she can't even sing.
Actually I think Dionne I can say was the first Pop , and R&B black female that was crossing over. I don’t see how someone can be mad because she said Diana was not a influence ....it was a honest answer. Truthfully vocally who needs to look at Diana when you got Cissy as your mother , Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick as cousins ...Diana wasn’t messing with them vocally on her best day.
It's crazy how you can Sing for this entire freaking world,but when you want some Lil bit of life.....Just for you and yours..... Houston we have a problem! She was truly a blessing to us and this world treated her so badly in the end!
QUEEN MRS. DARROLYN Yep. I believe that until the end of times. She gave so much of herself to the world, and all the world did was crap on her and ridicule her. It’s a universal tale of how wicked the world is.
They only did that because of Bobby Brown, if she would have married a white man, the media wouldn't have treated her so badly, the media reporters are some nasty motherfuckers, just ask Barack Obama .... just saying
Her father was responsible for leaking that story. For what reason he did that who knows but it was confirmed he leaked that story by media personnel. She said John Houston gave her the story to sell to the media. That's why whitney didn't win the case when she tried to sue the tabloids.
@@franknitty9954 this is insane!!! She was surrounded by leeches and useless people who destroyed her! Her own father should have been protected her, instead of he sold a private information about her daughter for money, and after he stole her money and sued her!!! Which kind of family she had around her??? I'm so angry
I think her answer about Diana Ross was very honest and to the point because Sissy was one of the Sweet Inspirations she sang back up with Elvis for god sake. Whitney can hold her own she is in a league of her own her voice out weighted Diana Ross so I can see how she could simply say no she wasn't an influence.
Don't forget that powerful note she hit during the recording of Aretha's, Ain't No Way. That one note "made" the entire song a hit. I feel her mother singing background for Aretha is what made Whitney appreciate her talent, thus making her such a huge fan of the icon
I don't like her because she was related to Michael strange and she hadn't trust to him during interview with him... I think she really thought that Michael is pedophile... Of course I never will think that Michael is bad.. Michael is sun..
For as much as she gave us publicly I look at this interview and feel so ashamed of the way we were all questioning this woman's private choices regarding who she loved, accepted, and married like we had the right to drill and grill her about Bobby. Man I'm ashamed as I watch these interviews RIP Whitney
+daisylicious101 that's how you know Whitney came from a GOLDEN pedigree. .The FACT that she could speak her truth the way she could!?! Whitney spoke no lies!!! When you are WHITNEY HOUSTON ...you can speak and say as she did. REST IN PEACE MISS WHITNEY HOUSTON.....because the day that someone can speak and stand alone in the truth of there talent and talent alone will be along time coming!!!
I look at Whitney Houston the way I feel she wanted everyone to look at her; which was human. Just because someone appears to have everything doesn’t mean that they do. Like she said herself in the Oprah interview" she had the house, the cars, the marriage, the kid” but it wasn’t what fulfilled her in the end. What I got from that is if I’m not right on the inside then nothing else can make me whole. I love Whitney from beginning to end and in all of her phases. If I could reach her and send her a message today. I’d like her to know job well done. You did it all baby. You sang your heart out to millions, you were righteous, you got the chance to experience marriage, children(Step kids included), toured the entire world. She did it all! She lived and that was enough. Our lives can be one big mess at one point and real good the next, it’s called LIFE! I’m so very proud of that black, and gorgeous woman who made a difference. I’m still trying to make a difference and we all can learn and take a page out of her book. I refuse to look at her life as one big tragedy.Love you Nippy💜
Aw I love your comment ❤️ so true. I don’t want Whitney Houston remembered for her tragic death, I want her remembered for her life, her beautiful face, her fabulous voice (which I listened to regularly when she was alive & since she’s died). I love her no matter what & I wish people would not all begin & end all conversations about Whitney Houston by talking about her drug use & death (we all know how she died, let’s teach the rest of the world/next generation how she lived 🙌❤️
Well said my dear God bless you you said it all so eloquently and correctly, she just needed to here job well done you are truly loved , that little heat just kept beating as she said for her daughter, with a little laughter and she was very serious about it, it people could have seen her true inner beauty my God or they were just very mean 😭
She did the house, the cars, the marriage, the" kid” but it wasn’t what fulfilled her in the end. It makes one want to ask well what in the heck do you want? If only she was able to attain whatever it was that she wanted. 🌸
Funny how she says she was naturally shy and to herself and wanted to just back ground sing in the beginning, but sometimes god has an even greater plan for those who are oblivious to their own greatness, unfortunately that plan came with tremendous soul lessons and triumphs in her life time.... May her soul prosper through eternity, her job and path in this life was very significant and impactful as it was destined to be 😇
Not only was Whitney a beautiful person (inside and out), she was very articulate, well spoken! I enjoy her earlier interviews! Her classiness is pellucidly evident.
it wasn't shade on Diana she was saying she looked to her mother she didn't need to look elsewhere because her mother was the example for her and that's what most parents want from their children that they are the positive influence in their lives
As beautiful and powerful as her voice was, she always gave people that influenced her their shine. Even on stage with people she could’ve out “sang” easily... she put great effort not to. This business was her demise. But I’ll love her until my last breath. RIP The VOICE 🙏🏾
She was such a beautifully gorgeous, well spoken, poised, elegant, classy woman. It is rare these days to see a woman or celebrity female carry themselves as such. Very rare. She had it all and those in the industry and some individuals that were the closest to her, tried to rip and tear her apart, like wild vultures, to the point she had to numb what self esteem she had left. If those people wouldve just cherished her and appriciated her as she was meant to be, she wouldve cherished and appreciate herself more.
What was sad was watching this calm, composed and classy person devolve from the late 90s on. Her interviews became defensive and frantic, and this calm person was never ever seen again.
Whitney sang using those pipes beautifully. Her voice was so sweet.She was so sweet in every way.Not like like some of the half naked people nowadays with their shameless body gyrations they call dance..That is not entertainment .That is sexual imitation to the public.
I miss you so much Whitney there won't be another like her why god took Whitney from us it's hurtful to me I feel bad that happen to her and her daughter Bobbi Kris
Barbara was too harsh on her . Give her a break shes a young mom . Omg . I love when Barbara asked her was Diana Ross your inspiration? She says nooooooo. No . Lmao . I love Whitney
This absolutely very sunny,naive and little girl really believed that her Bobby is great and good man.. But this hadn't happen in her life...So sadly...
I miss the days when artists actually sung rather than lip synch the whole time. Whitney Houston had a beautiful smile, voice, singing voice, etc. Can't believe she's gone along with BKB. Glad BB was able to clean up his act and rebuild his life and career. I miss the 90s and all the great artists(MJ, Prince, 2Pac, Biggie, Aaliyah, Selena, Left Eye, etc.) from that era that is gone. Kids today will never know the feelings we used to get from hearing real music with meaning and lyrics you can actually understand, relate to, and follow. I appreciated the 90s so much even though I was still growing up. Even our sitcoms and movies were great and meaningful back then. Especially for the African American community.
I just find it so disrespectful of her to ask straight out about her miscarriage though. That’s such a private and traumatizing thing for her to go through, just to further Barbara’s career
see how hypocritical and DISGUSTING n condescending they r ? Barbara Walters had an affair with a MARRIED BLACK MAN/FATHER of three for years (Senator Edward BROOKE) but has the nerve to ask WH about being with a single Black man who had three children (which, btw, he took care of financially and with care and not one of them, to my knowledge, has ever spoken negatively of their father so...). Gross stuff.
Whitney is one of the most beautiful and talented people to.ever walk this earth. Here she looked fresh faced, and almost had it all. Worst mistake? Marrying an immature 22 year old father of three from 3 .different women! He destroyed his own career and hers too
I couldn't imagine living my life with people commenting on every mistake I've made or will make in life. I have enough just being a average woman. There's MANY sides to EVERY story, and somewhere in the middle there's the TRUTH. Who are we to judge? Money cannot buy peace of mind...( I know)! On a positive note, I believe Whitney is directing the choir in heaven and eternally singing for the Lord. God bless Bobby Brown and may mother and daughter Rest in Peace. Amen.
Why would Whitney need to compare to Ms. Ross? Like she said she had musical influences right in her own family. Her Mom, Cousin Dionne and other family members. She came from a musical family. So Barbra was outta line and kinda threw shade. And yes I know this is an old video.
"It was a hell of a territory" Engagements, award ceremonies, back to back concert dates, touring, photo shoots, interviews, .. She just wanted to sing, initially... Rest in paradise Whitney Elizabeth Houston.
This is the Whitney I recognize. I feel many from the younger generation only knew Whitney after the drug use. I loved her before and after her troubles and always prayed for her.
- I didn't want to be a star, I just wanted to sing! - Whitney replied. No one was supposed to make a star out of her. Make a star to later wipe your feet dirty on it. Her voice is simply delightful! . .
Sing it a bit….and she doesn‘t think over for a second and starts to sing in an undescribable way…..just wow, I love her so much, for the rest of my live….miss you hard, Whitney, nobody has ever „touched“ me like you, thanks
Yup! Anybody looking for receipts, it's in Robyn's book. That's when the engagement would of been over! WTF, you're engaged to me & making babies w/someone else. Nah, I don't think so!
Omg if I had the opportunity to be in her presence. I would have froze up and then probably cried. No matter what demons she was battling, you can tell she had such a beautiful spirit and was full of so much wisdom. She’s like the type of woman that if you were having a bad day, you would call her up or be in her presence and it would be so hard to continue to have a bad day. She would make you feel like a billion dollars
Well she made a good point though. Why would she need to aspire to be anything like Diana Ross when she has legendary singers in her own family. She could have answered the question more diplomatically & still payed homage to Miss Ross, but maybe she didn't feel the need to- by this point in time she was in the prime of her career. Maybe if asked the question a few years earlier the answer would be different after all..........she did do a Supremes like number in the "I'm Your Baby Tonight" video.
They never gave them the chance out the gate which is why they secretly dated on and off for 3yrs.From 91-early 95 bobby kept a pretty good reputation with a Few scratches here and there but he was present until her fame and recognition from the bodyguard overwhelmed both artists causing a irreparable rift between them.If she hadn't been so prideful yet fragile and left bobby she'd still be alive.
Whitney was so icy in this interview. Her answer about Diana Ross could have been handled far more diplomatically. Guess she had her reasons for disrespecting her.
She spoke in that manner about a lot of female singers some who were and were not noteworthy (Tina Turner, Mariah Carey, Madonna) she seemed a little catty at times
I think it was more Frustrating hearing Diana Ross as the only African American influence. Whitney wanted it to be clear that No Diana was not a influence as she stated he had her own mother and Cousin to look as a pattern too.
Whitney is icy in most of her interviews; I have seen most of them. Yes, she was disrespectful and she is alot of times in her interviews. It might come from getting wealthy and famous at a real early age. Plus her addiction to drugs didn't help matters. She was using way before Bobby came into the picture. Overall she is not a humble person at all. I know one thing...I would not want to work for Whitney.
I think what she meant is that Diana's singing isn't that legendary. She has a different kind of "white" voice. Whitney's got Gospel and Soul. Stardom, yes, singing, no.
Sherry Saunders yes she was a mess. You see how she wipes the nose with that napkin? I know people noticed. I used to wonder why she was the only one sweating all the time
So brutal that she didn’t get the choice to keep her miscarriage private or announce it to her fans alone. the pressure the hate got her so hard and it ruined her I miss her everyday RIP Whitney ❤️ the voice the legend
She had everything - not even a bad childhood or youth like she said.....other people don´t have all that big luck and talent which she has gotten ....but she must have had to much from everything, I guess....and then her very own decision to do drugs with that clown Bobby Brown.....gave her the rest.
This just goes to show u that celebs are human too. They go thru the sammmmme shit we do. Why people surprised whitney got on crack??? Not talking about her cuz ilove and admire her but yall how many people have drug or alcohol addicts in your family.... Hmmmm. Im waiting...😳😚😳😉😳😉😀😀😀ok got it . uncles, brothers , mothers anybody. Celebs have it worst cuz they have $$$$$$$$. Just pray for the other whitney's out here. Beautiful voice...smh.rip whitney elizabeth Houston😃 #realfan#beautiful
I miss our beautiful queen Whitney so much it breaks my heart and bring tears to my eyes when I see her in interviews like this she will never be forgotten!!! Thanks Ginger for posting this video your the best!
I love Diana but Whitney was in her own category and levels of success in much shorter time period. Not much comparisons other than being successful black females in popular music.
I love the way she spoke. So calming & serene. With the most BEAUTIFUL face 😩
Amen! Such a graceful class act!
Until she hooked on coke with BB...Everything upside down afterward...
@@OctPSfever even at her lowest moments- she's still one of the most beautiful women who ever lived.
Then you watch "Being Bobby Brown" and see how she really talks and acts 😹
Yes, she was very beautiful indeed. R.i.p Whitney.🌹
My goodness she's so beautiful!!!!
Member this man good memories #there will only be 1 whitney!!!
#we will always love you !!!
Jade Genesis right?
I don't like Barbara Walters to sign up come up under her she got a good answer for everything Miss Whitney Houston said she don't need a rest look up to she got her mother to look up to call Barbara Walters
Loved the way she answered the question whether she was influenced by Diana Ross. NO, Barbara not every black girl/women worship/ or mold from Diana R. Sorry...
i remember having an L:P of Diane Ross, my x husband bought it actually, i loved listening to her, she was excellent, everyone has their own talents, and nobody sounds the same as someone else, Whitney was a huge talent, but so was Diana Ross, personally i think nobody can compare to Patti Labelle..... or today, Celine Dion.....but isn`t it all just about personal taste at the end of the day......i didn`t get the impression she was putting Diana Ross down at all, she simply said NO..
Thank You! That was a racially driven question.
@@Pussycatfeathers NOBODY allow me to repeat NOBODY compares to Whitney Houston. She was hands down the greatest singer to ever exist and if we are talking BEAUTY??? Whitney was equally as beautiful as Elizabeth Taylor and Vivien Leigh who were the most beautiful women in hollywood. Whitney got the voice in the process 😍❤
@@johnpalermo4466 but surely thats a personal opinion, not everybody thinks so....i personally dont think she was the greatest singer...have you ever heard Patti Labelle singing Forever Young at live aid.... she has a voice which absolutely stunned me, i never felt that way listening to Whitney....but yes, i agree she was very beautiful and radiant, i think its unbelievably sad what happened to her. she destroyed herself and her voice
@@Pussycatfeathers pattie dont compare sry mate
There will never be another Whitney Houston she was the best and no one can ever come close to that great voice and beautiful face she will always be missed.
You are correct my dear
Absolutely! She had me with "how will know"
I just love the way she formed every sentences she spoke. A wonderful woman.
I always get teary eyed when I see these old interviews of Whitney - she had everything, an amazing voice, beauty and I honestly believe fame destroyed her in the end - especially after the 90's - it was painful to watch her demise during the last 10 years of her life! I loved her and so did many others!!
Black angle
Watch whole movie annie
@lsaturn01 Her problem was, unbelievable as it seems, self doubt! Listen to Kevin Costner's eulogy ...she didn't really believe she was as good as everyone thought she was 🥲
Not fame her self destructive behavior was the reason... That was happened because she had a lot of psychological problems (demons) mostly it came from family I think, a lot of people have the same issues the only difference is that they are not famous
Those whom are chosen must fight the toughest battles.
God I loved her so much! That's all I can say. I'll hopefully meet her in heaven, if the Lord allows.
BW: Was Diana one of the people you looked up to?
WH: NO.........I had people in my home...My mother.
WH: LOL, I DIDN'T NEED TO LOOK UP TO DIANA!!!

"I had a miscarriage. During the filming of the bodyguard. It was very painful- emotionally and physically. It's something I would've liked to say myself, but they didn't have me the opportunity. I was back on the set the next day."
It almost sounds like she was pressured into it because she was filming the movie..
That's quite possible.
Well it was Bobby who motivated her the most into making it, and Whitney said it herself in her 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer.
@@DanielLopez-zt4ig Bobby didn't motivate her to fo that movie, in fact he and Cissy didn't agree because they didn't want her with a "white man" on screen. Bobby was very jealous of Kevin and he made it known to Kevin what his place was. When Whitney was doing promotion for the Waiting To Exhale movie Bobby said in an interview that thst movie was "one of her better ones" just because she was with a black man on that movie
Chill out, this was in NO WAY a "diss" to Diana, but a full salute to her own mother. Dayum!
It was a diss because her mom nor Dionne Warwick liked Diana ross
I thought it was random that Barbara asked her that question.
@@MyTiffany81 not many of them did....and Ross just wasn’t in their league vocally, but I do love her voice, just very commercial, cissy, Dionne, Gladys, Aretha, even Mary Wilson had classic voices....not all the greatest singers make it big like Ross but then again she had a lot of help from berry gordy.....but before you write back let me tell ya Diana Ross is still incredible and a true survivor of the business even if she did get there with a lot of help from Gordy
@@maxipazz8214 he didn’t do that much lol. It was all her creativity and hard work. She designed her stuff to be a fashion icon. She was pissed and used her effortless lower voice for the supremes. But really she was the whole package and it’s rare. Look at today’s artist. There is only one that is even close to Diana and that would be Beyoncé but I guess you would say her dad helped her a lot right??
Well even if her mom and Dionne didn't like her, I'm sure they had they're reasons. Doesn't mean that Whitney dissed her. She was just telling the truth. Barbera sounded ridiculous trying to press repeating the same question. She had already gotten the response of who influenced her. Would Barbera want someone putting in her mouth about who influenced her to go into her career if she clearly named her influences If Whitney had anything against Diana Ross I doubt she would've taken time in one of her own shows to honor her by singing 2 of her songs. She should have felt stupid when Whitney said I didn't have to look to Diana when I was already surrounded by influences
It hurt to hear her talk about the miscarriage mainly b/c its crazy that just like she said, she wasn't able to share that information herself; someone else did. That to me is insensitive and wrong. That's personal, and you could tell she felt the same with how she staggered into talking about it, and how she had choppy sentences & looked away when Barbara asked her questioned about it. But that's the media & paparazzi for you, smh.
Ki S. Yeah that's before social media
Barbara has her nerve... of asking to change the name of a simple conversation now you know how celebrities feel when they asking 101questions🙄
Kiki Kreationz She’s arrogant
I wouldn’t have changed it Iike bitch if you don’t like it get out
Sorry but I have to say - "shade" on diana nO - whitney was sick of hearing comparisons and dealing with jealousy when she came on the scene - up until whitney it was Diana sexy in long gowns owning the stage - but whitney came out like a bullet and was global and huge - she had to deal with a lot of jealousy and from seasoned singers - her beauty and voice was unmatchable - very hard for ppl to handle - and in her early years she constantly let ppl know where and who she came from the great gospel singer Cissy Houston
Kat Sangineto Perhaps she should have taken a few notes from Diana Ross who is STILL here sounding and looking good. Diana didnt get hung up on drugs nor did she get involved with men doing drugs. Neither Berry, Arne, nor Bob Ellis were in to drugs like Bobby. Perhaps she should have taken a few notes on Ross on how to raise children and then Perhaps her Own daughter would not have followed her Drug path. Yes it was shady, and tacky. All she had to say was my mother and cousins were role models for me. I found her answer Cocky and self observant. Reminds me of Natalie Cole who came right out in the beginning saying she thinks she has a better voice then DIana Ross. ok, that is Her opinion which No one ask her to give. Funny how both Whitney snubbing Diana here and Natalie both went DOWN into a Haze of Drugs. Yet Diana is weathered all those Demons. Sure she had a little drunk driving case but she checked HERSELF in to rehab and Stayed until she was better. Unlike Whitney who her mother had her Checked in. But she ended up checking herself Out long before the rehab could even Kick in. . But WHO has NOT driven and not been high on booze. We all have. Diana just got caught and the rest of us was Lucky Not to get caught. I have driven drunk when i was in my 20s but Never got pulled over or killed anyone or had an accident. I was one of the Lucky ones. Of course I know better now to drink in drive as i am in my late 50s. Sorry Whitney I admired your voice and talent. But your little big headed Ego cockyness was showing here and Got on my Nerves several times and I didnt care for it. This is one of her Cocky moods and before the drugs took over completely. I would not doubt if she was doing drugs during this interview. Whatever. as I said. Call Diana whatever but she is Still HERE. Whitney is not. and didnt last near the years Diana has. THink about it. All Ross kids came out pretty good no so for Whitney's only child. Whitney nor Bobby were Good role models for for Bobbi K. and I blame both of them for how Bobbi K turned out. Sadly both Bobbi and Whitney lost their lives way Too Soon.
+Mitchell Steven Indeed I RESPECT Diana Ross with all sincerity but at the same time she was no Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston was a force of nature once in a life time occurrence. God bless her eternal soul, Whitney was anointed by god himself. In life...things happen....people are used as a vessel for something greater than themselves...people are endowed with gifts that are unimaginable ...for beter or worst ...it happens...Whitney was one of those of people. Diana Ross God bless her soul...she was not of the same lineage as Whitney Houston.
ohok83 you must be taking the same drugs Whitney was scoffing down to say some bullshit nonsense that Diana Ross was not of the same lineage as Whitney Houston....Fool if not for DIANA ROSS there would have NEVER been a Whitney Houston. and lets not forget....The Guinness Book of World Records has named Diana Ross as "THE MOST SUCCESSEFUL FEMALE SINGER in THE HISTORY OF MUSIC"! a Title that Houston has never had. and at this point since she self destructed, NEVER WILL. Diana Ross did it first and opened the doors to all that followed her, including Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, and Whitney Houston just to name a few. Diana Ross changed American music and racial divides and was not just an incredible singer and performer but one hell of an actress too. Your comment was completely and totally stupid...Sorry but Whitney Houston and none of the others are on the same Level or Lineage as MISS DIANA ROSS. PERIOD!
thewizboy You're absolutely correct, they aren't on the same lineage as Diana Ross. Because they didn't screw Barry Gordy, and whomever else to make it. Unlike Diana Ross(in my opinion Whitney could sing, as well as act).
thewizboy The fact that you take shots and petty jabs shows how insecure you are in DR and how the point you attempt to make can not be argued successfully. Success is a pretty broad term as it means many different things to many different people. Trying to prove someone's artistic superiority based on stereotypical success is foolish and juvenile. In regards to WH and DR, the proof is in the pudding, i.e., their singing, and to say DR is superior to WH in that area is flat out wrong. Note by note in their respective primes, WH obliterates her in nearly every regard, something that is undeniable and proved not only here on RUclips for all to see, but by listeners' reverence for Whitney. I won't argue about success in terms of sales and popularity(even though WH is literally one of the most successful artist of all time and the most awarded female of all time), but let's try impact. If WH's career only lasted "10 years" like you claim, that speaks volumes upon volumes about her abilities considering she is literally exalted by nearly everyone(audiences, critics, and artists both old and new). For you to say that... just adds to her magnificence. Very few (hypothetically, but realistically no one could) could reach her current status in only 10 years. Besides, in those 10 years... she undeniably cemented herself among the legends in history. She was a living legend at age 30. Argue it all you want, this is undeniable. In this time, she broke records, set records, and broke certain barriers that had not yet even been hit. She is one if not the most influential female vocalist of all time. Her counterparts of the trinity were even influenced by her, interviews of which prove that are here to see on RUclips. Not only that, she has influenced and gained respect from artists in many genres, both old and new. When people think of great female vocalist, many names are listed.... but how long would it take for someone to mention DR IF they would even think to say her name. She is not in the same class as the trinity, Aretha, Patti, Chaka, Pat Benatar, Billie holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand. Not in popularity, not in influence, not in reverence, and most certainly not in vocals alone. Lastly what you said about there would be no WH if there wasn't a DR is the biggest stretch I've ever heard. If there was no Aretha, then maybe there wouldn't be a WH(Even this is untrue). WH was in no way influenced by DR, her career in no way had any impact on WH. Her greatest influences were her Mother and Aretha, with Gladys Knight, Barbra, Chaka and Dionne being secondary influences. "Miss Ross" doesn't deserve any credit for WH success. It's hilarious that you call WH smug and sarcastic when this was nothing compared to the insecurity filled comments DR made before and after WH performance of All at once at the AMAs. CLEARLY someone was feeling threatened. You also speak as if DR has sustained some incredible longevity in her career. But where.... like she has long been forgotten and shadowed by other female vocalists who surpass her. I mean, isn't it funny how she's been in the business for how long yet her reverence is no where near any of the singers I've mentioned, especially not WH. It's pretty clear she is your fav, but in honor of her and whatever impact she might have made, don't make comments that expose insecurity. Be confident enough in her to not feel threatened.
she was incredibly beautiful, absolute clear georgous skin and hypnotic eyes, i remember the first time i saw her in the video for "dance with someone", she was so full of life and energy, its tragic that shes gone, and that her daughter has gone, i hope they are together again......there will never be another Whitney :-(
Sduolc Epoh Could you imagine what her life would've been like had she stayed in the will of God? She possibly could've won Bobby to Christ 💔🙏
Well she herself knew he was no good...she knew he had 3 kids... slept around, abused drugs... she choose
Whitney could blow better than any Ross that has ever lived. Barbara know she was wrong for asking that stupidity. Hell Florence Ballard sang better than Diana.
🤣🤣🤣 you're right
I mean, just before Whitney talked about her own mother that sings! I mean get your life!
There was a period in the music industry for black female singers to be compared to Diana Ross, they did this to uphold that standard which ofcourse was weird. Diana did big things and was always great in her own right especially when it comes to her performances. But we also had Dionne Warwick, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle but they always wanted to compare to Diana in the sense the one that appealed to the masses and majority white audiences. That's why they needed Whitney to take over that imagae cause that was what they knew. It's not the artists fault the record companies were responsible for that they were crafting black females images to yet again appeal to white audiences. But their individuality especially Whitney's was very clear she was something else and unique she didn't get her status as the greatest singer of all times for nothing.
how is it nasty because she say no about Diana Ross and she say her mom there's nothing wrong with what she said
thewizboy Diana Ross daughter Rhonda Ross father is in fact Berry Gordy. So yes Diana Ross did fuck her way to the top. Also listen to her and Florence Ballard. Florence Ballard voice was way more powerful than Diana's. Have a good evening
thewizboy you do realize that it was actually diana that was jealous of whitney dumbass. why would diana be whitneys influence when she can't even sing.
Actually I think Dionne I can say was the first Pop , and R&B black female that was crossing over. I don’t see how someone can be mad because she said Diana was not a influence ....it was a honest answer. Truthfully vocally who needs to look at Diana when you got Cissy as your mother , Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick as cousins ...Diana wasn’t messing with them vocally on her best day.
thewizboy Get off the Internet Diana Ross! You’re not fooling anyone
@@thewizboy you’re hiding behind the computer screen saying hateful stuff but we all know you wouldn’t say that stuff up close.
It's crazy how you can Sing for this entire freaking world,but when you want some Lil bit of life.....Just for you and yours..... Houston we have a problem! She was truly a blessing to us and this world treated her so badly in the end!
QUEEN MRS. DARROLYN Yep. I believe that until the end of times. She gave so much of herself to the world, and all the world did was crap on her and ridicule her. It’s a universal tale of how wicked the world is.
Amen my thoughts exactly that's y God took her home cuz we didn't treat her right n yes I'm guilty I judged her n may God forgive me
They only did that because of Bobby Brown, if she would have married a white man, the media wouldn't have treated her so badly, the media reporters are some nasty motherfuckers, just ask Barack Obama .... just saying
I agree
Its a shame that someone leaked a story about her miscarriage during "The BodyGuard". People are so heartless.
Her father was responsible for leaking that story. For what reason he did that who knows but it was confirmed he leaked that story by media personnel. She said John Houston gave her the story to sell to the media. That's why whitney didn't win the case when she tried to sue the tabloids.
@@franknitty9954 Dang for real?!
Lightdion yup the editor of the paper revealed that it was Johnn after Whitneys death.
@@franknitty9954 this is insane!!! She was surrounded by leeches and useless people who destroyed her! Her own father should have been protected her, instead of he sold a private information about her daughter for money, and after he stole her money and sued her!!! Which kind of family she had around her??? I'm so angry
Oprah own family sell her out. Shame.
I think her answer about Diana Ross was very honest and to the point because Sissy was one of the Sweet Inspirations she sang back up with Elvis for god sake. Whitney can hold her own she is in a league of her own her voice out weighted Diana Ross so I can see how she could simply say no she wasn't an influence.
Don't forget that powerful note she hit during the recording of Aretha's, Ain't No Way. That one note "made" the entire song a hit. I feel her mother singing background for Aretha is what made Whitney appreciate her talent, thus making her such a huge fan of the icon
I don't like Barbara.😑
I don't like barbera either
and isn't it reported she stole #IyanlaVanzant's publishing?..on books BW didn't wirte!
Sometimes she treats artists like idiots who think they are on another level. That is very bitchy.
She did what cave dwellers been doing, trying to make Black ppl look crazy.
I don't like her because she was related to Michael strange and she hadn't trust to him during interview with him... I think she really thought that Michael is pedophile... Of course I never will think that Michael is bad.. Michael is sun..
Why would Barbara Walters ask her the Diana Ross question? That was random
Barbara said hold it.. change that damn name. Lol.
Positive Vibes not “change that damn name” 😂😂😂 I’m hollering
Positive Vibes Dumb arrogant lady Barbara is.
For as much as she gave us publicly I look at this interview and feel so ashamed of the way we were all questioning this woman's private choices regarding who she loved, accepted, and married like we had the right to drill and grill her about Bobby. Man I'm ashamed as I watch these interviews RIP Whitney
Why would you press a woman to talk about her miscarriage?
A gorgeous lady with amazing beautiful voice!! Which’s very rare!!
It's hard for me to believe that my best singer of all time is gone forever
So some people are all up in their feelings just because she said that about Diana Ross ... Oh please lol
+daisylicious101 that's how you know Whitney came from a GOLDEN pedigree. .The FACT that she could speak her truth the way she could!?! Whitney spoke no lies!!! When you are WHITNEY HOUSTON ...you can speak and say as she did. REST IN PEACE MISS WHITNEY HOUSTON.....because the day that someone can speak and stand alone in the truth of there talent and talent alone will be along time coming!!!
Diana Ross can't sing and lucked up and fucked Berry Gordy.
+ohok83 you must be a gay dude
THANK YOU!
Right?!?!
Daddy: “He better take care of you.” And that’s the exact opposite of what he did smh.
I look at Whitney Houston the way I feel she wanted everyone to look at her; which was human. Just because someone appears to have everything doesn’t mean that they do. Like she said herself in the Oprah interview" she had the house, the cars, the marriage, the kid” but it wasn’t what fulfilled her in the end. What I got from that is if I’m not right on the inside then nothing else can make me whole. I love Whitney from beginning to end and in all of her phases. If I could reach her and send her a message today. I’d like her to know job well done. You did it all baby. You sang your heart out to millions, you were righteous, you got the chance to experience marriage, children(Step kids included), toured the entire world. She did it all! She lived and that was enough. Our lives can be one big mess at one point and real good the next, it’s called LIFE! I’m so very proud of that black, and gorgeous woman who made a difference. I’m still trying to make a difference and we all can learn and take a page out of her book. I refuse to look at her life as one big tragedy.Love you Nippy💜
Aw I love your comment ❤️ so true. I don’t want Whitney Houston remembered for her tragic death, I want her remembered for her life, her beautiful face, her fabulous voice (which I listened to regularly when she was alive & since she’s died). I love her no matter what & I wish people would not all begin & end all conversations about Whitney Houston by talking about her drug use & death (we all know how she died, let’s teach the rest of the world/next generation how she lived 🙌❤️
@@sineadcollins7594 Exactly, and beautifully said!❤️
Well said my dear God bless you you said it all so eloquently and correctly, she just needed to here job well done you are truly loved , that little heat just kept beating as she said for her daughter, with a little laughter and she was very serious about it, it people could have seen her true inner beauty my God or they were just very mean 😭
You said it well my dear. I love her through all her phases her job was well done.
She did the house, the cars, the marriage, the" kid” but it wasn’t what fulfilled her in the end. It makes one want to ask well what in the heck do you want? If only she was able to attain whatever it was that she wanted. 🌸
Funny how she says she was naturally shy and to herself and wanted to just back ground sing in the beginning, but sometimes god has an even greater plan for those who are oblivious to their own greatness, unfortunately that plan came with tremendous soul lessons and triumphs in her life time.... May her soul prosper through eternity, her job and path in this life was very significant and impactful as it was destined to be 😇
Not only was Whitney a beautiful person (inside and out), she was very articulate, well spoken! I enjoy her earlier interviews! Her classiness is pellucidly evident.
it wasn't shade on Diana she was saying she looked to her mother she didn't need to look elsewhere because her mother was the example for her and that's what most parents want from their children that they are the positive influence in their lives
As beautiful and powerful as her voice was, she always gave people that influenced her their shine. Even on stage with people she could’ve out “sang” easily... she put great effort not to. This business was her demise. But I’ll love her until my last breath. RIP The VOICE 🙏🏾
Whitney Houston is and was the Best female artist the world have ever seen. R.I.P Whitney and Bobbi Christina😢😢
Her voice was a prophet in itself, I swear.
Everyone in this world have problems and no one on this Earth is perfect I Still Love Whitney rest in peace
She was such a beautifully gorgeous, well spoken, poised, elegant, classy woman. It is rare these days to see a woman or celebrity female carry themselves as such. Very rare. She had it all and those in the industry and some individuals that were the closest to her, tried to rip and tear her apart, like wild vultures, to the point she had to numb what self esteem she had left. If those people wouldve just cherished her and appriciated her as she was meant to be, she wouldve cherished and appreciate herself more.
What was sad was watching this calm, composed and classy person devolve from the late 90s on. Her interviews became defensive and frantic, and this calm person was never ever seen again.
Whitney sang using those pipes beautifully. Her voice was so sweet.She was so sweet in every way.Not like like some of the half naked people nowadays with their shameless body gyrations they call dance..That is not entertainment .That is sexual imitation to the public.
I still love Whitney!! I do miss her. She was honest, beautiful and misunderstood. There won't be another one like her ever.
I miss you so much Whitney there won't be another like her why god took Whitney from us it's hurtful to me I feel bad that happen to her and her daughter Bobbi Kris
😢
wedding ring was on fleek 😍😍
I adore that woman with every ounce of my being
Did she say Bobby was very intelligent. She know she put that man on a pedestal. I don’t ever remember him speaking that highly of her.
She's so pretty, Whitney that is
the wedding ring yes maaammm 💜💜💜
Barbara was too harsh on her . Give her a break shes a young mom . Omg . I love when Barbara asked her was Diana Ross your inspiration? She says nooooooo. No . Lmao . I love Whitney
This absolutely very sunny,naive and little girl really believed that her Bobby is great and good man.. But this hadn't happen in her life...So sadly...
I respect her Diana response! Her mother is a iconic woman!
gabrielle riots that lady could blow!
Yes, her mother.
Whitney's smile......😁
Super gorgeous, super talented, superwoman. Forever missed but never forgotten!
R.I.P Whitney you are loved and will always be missed...
Barbara: "Was Diana Ross someone you felt you were like?" Whitney: Dead in the eyes, "No."....... awkward silence.
Nevah.
God, Whitney Houston was gorgeous! Her face was beautiful!
Queen of pop Goddess Whitney RIP
Damn Whitney 😭😭😭...smh She’s a legend, icon, and one of the best voices every. R.I.P
I love how well thought out she was with her words. She was the epitome of grace and decorum.
I miss the days when artists actually sung rather than lip synch the whole time. Whitney Houston had a beautiful smile, voice, singing voice, etc. Can't believe she's gone along with BKB. Glad BB was able to clean up his act and rebuild his life and career. I miss the 90s and all the great artists(MJ, Prince, 2Pac, Biggie, Aaliyah, Selena, Left Eye, etc.) from that era that is gone. Kids today will never know the feelings we used to get from hearing real music with meaning and lyrics you can actually understand, relate to, and follow. I appreciated the 90s so much even though I was still growing up. Even our sitcoms and movies were great and meaningful back then. Especially for the African American community.
3:53 is classic “ now Betty (Barbara) is a whore” 😂😂😂😂 the shade she was about to throw before the name change”.i had to use you Barbra”
I just find it so disrespectful of her to ask straight out about her miscarriage though. That’s such a private and traumatizing thing for her to go through, just to further Barbara’s career
see how hypocritical and DISGUSTING n condescending they r ? Barbara Walters had an affair with a MARRIED BLACK MAN/FATHER of three for years (Senator Edward BROOKE) but has the nerve to ask WH about being with a single Black man who had three children (which, btw, he took care of financially and with care and not one of them, to my knowledge, has ever spoken negatively of their father so...). Gross stuff.
She should not have married Bobby. Period. He was a catalyst to her downfall. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF HER LIFE IS TO MARRY BOBBY.
Bobby was never "loyal" to Whitney.
Whitney is one of the most beautiful and talented people to.ever walk this earth. Here she looked fresh faced, and almost had it all. Worst mistake? Marrying an immature 22 year old father of three from 3 .different women! He destroyed his own career and hers too
That wasn’t Diana shade, she answered honestly, she had Cissy Houston....she didn’t need to look at Diana Ross for inspiration.
I couldn't imagine living my life with people commenting on every mistake I've made or will make in life. I have enough just being a average woman. There's MANY sides to EVERY story, and somewhere in the middle there's the TRUTH. Who are we to judge? Money cannot buy peace of mind...( I know)! On a positive note, I believe Whitney is directing the choir in heaven and eternally singing for the Lord. God bless Bobby Brown and may mother and daughter Rest in Peace. Amen.
Whitney's face when Barbara asked about Diana 😭🤣
she was so beautiful 🥺🥺
Why would Whitney need to compare to Ms. Ross? Like she said she had musical influences right in her own family. Her Mom, Cousin Dionne and other family members. She came from a musical family. So Barbra was outta line and kinda threw shade. And yes I know this is an old video.
"It was a hell of a territory" Engagements, award ceremonies, back to back concert dates, touring, photo shoots, interviews, .. She just wanted to sing, initially... Rest in paradise Whitney Elizabeth Houston.
Then she should do background smh @ u thinking she didnt enjoy fame
lol, when she said Barbara I was weak on the floor. God. Whitney was so friggin clever, man, love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the Whitney I recognize. I feel many from the younger generation only knew Whitney after the drug use. I loved her before and after her troubles and always prayed for her.
She was using by now. She did coke on the bodyguard.
I love her an it breaks my heart to watch her videos but I watch them daily. Wish her an bobby Christina we’re still with us;(
To think she destroyed her beautiful teeth and gums with drugs and had to wear dentures later on. Sad.
Exactly. She lost most of them in 2005. She had it all
- I didn't want to be a star, I just wanted to sing! - Whitney replied.
No one was supposed to make a star out of her. Make a star to later wipe your feet dirty on it.
Her voice is simply delightful!
. .
The most talented singer ever!!! So miss her and Krissy. May Jesus hold and protect them forever.
Sing it a bit….and she doesn‘t think over for a second and starts to sing in an undescribable way…..just wow, I love her so much, for the rest of my live….miss you hard, Whitney, nobody has ever „touched“ me like you, thanks
RIP Whitney. We miss you.
Beauty is something that she wore sooo Angelically, Even Her Speaking Voice is
Pure like Honey , Musiccc to my Ears✨
three children before he met me nah sis bobby jr was conceived while you were together and born the same year you got married
Yup! Anybody looking for receipts, it's in Robyn's book. That's when the engagement would of been over! WTF, you're engaged to me & making babies w/someone else. Nah, I don't think so!
My goodness.. wasn't she beautiful
Omg if I had the opportunity to be in her presence. I would have froze up and then probably cried. No matter what demons she was battling, you can tell she had such a beautiful spirit and was full of so much wisdom. She’s like the type of woman that if you were having a bad day, you would call her up or be in her presence and it would be so hard to continue to have a bad day. She would make you feel like a billion dollars
...and that is exactly what I did when given the chance to be in her presence...😢
Well she made a good point though. Why would she need to aspire to be anything like Diana Ross when she has legendary singers in her own family. She could have answered the question more diplomatically & still payed homage to Miss Ross, but maybe she didn't feel the need to- by this point in time she was in the prime of her career. Maybe if asked the question a few years earlier the answer would be different after all..........she did do a Supremes like number in the "I'm Your Baby Tonight" video.
BARBARA: Was Diana Ross someone you felt you was like?
Whitney: NO …NEVER
😂😩
😂 I love her
She was such a class act, the devil sure worked hard to take her down with the help of Bobby and her some of her family members:(
If one of my brother's introduced me to drugs, wouldn't want him at my funeral. Brothers sound mysognistic. Should be prosecuted for her death.
this woman makes me so happy
They never gave them the chance out the gate which is why they secretly dated on and off for 3yrs.From 91-early 95 bobby kept a pretty good reputation with a Few scratches here and there but he was present until her fame and recognition from the bodyguard overwhelmed both artists causing a irreparable rift between them.If she hadn't been so prideful yet fragile and left bobby she'd still be alive.
RIP to these two Beautiful Ladies. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Whitney was so icy in this interview. Her answer about Diana Ross could have been handled far more diplomatically. Guess she had her reasons for disrespecting her.
She spoke in that manner about a lot of female singers some who were and were not noteworthy (Tina Turner, Mariah Carey, Madonna) she seemed a little catty at times
I think it was more Frustrating hearing Diana Ross as the only African American influence. Whitney wanted it to be clear that No Diana was not a influence as she stated he had her own mother and Cousin to look as a pattern too.
Whitney is icy in most of her interviews; I have seen most of them. Yes, she was disrespectful and she is alot of times in her interviews. It might come from getting wealthy and famous at a real early age. Plus her addiction to drugs didn't help matters. She was using way before Bobby came into the picture. Overall she is not a humble person at all. I know one thing...I would not want to work for Whitney.
I think what she meant is that Diana's singing isn't that legendary. She has a different kind of "white" voice. Whitney's got Gospel and Soul. Stardom, yes, singing, no.
Sherry Saunders yes she was a mess. You see how she wipes the nose with that napkin? I know people noticed. I used to wonder why she was the only one sweating all the time
When Whitney sings its like listening to an angel. God did bless her with that voice.
Great Interview!! Whitney looks great, and she , sounds Great!!! 😁
Loved her. Irreplaceable Whitney..Great interview.
Beautiful Whitney. Her examples growing up of good men were not healthy so is it any wonder she went for the bad guy, he was familiar. Such a pity.
@1:32 - @1:59 awesome answer! The look she gives Barbra lol 👍😂
She,so beautiful!
Whitney was beautiful n talent n intelligent n she said the correct answers n this interview 💓💪🏽💯😓
GingerSpice414 -Thank you! I love you Whitney, forever missed. Peace
My pleasure : )
So brutal that she didn’t get the choice to keep her miscarriage private or announce it to her fans alone. the pressure the hate got her so hard and it ruined her I miss her everyday RIP Whitney ❤️ the voice the legend
She had everything - not even a bad childhood or youth like she said.....other people don´t have all that big luck and talent which she has gotten ....but she must have had to much from everything, I guess....and then her very own decision to do drugs with that clown Bobby Brown.....gave her the rest.
This just goes to show u that celebs are human too. They go thru the sammmmme shit we do. Why people surprised whitney got on crack??? Not talking about her cuz ilove and admire her but yall how many people have drug or alcohol addicts in your family.... Hmmmm. Im waiting...😳😚😳😉😳😉😀😀😀ok got it . uncles, brothers , mothers anybody. Celebs have it worst cuz they have $$$$$$$$. Just pray for the other whitney's out here. Beautiful voice...smh.rip whitney elizabeth Houston😃 #realfan#beautiful
I miss our beautiful queen Whitney so much it breaks my heart and bring tears to my eyes when I see her in interviews like this she will never be forgotten!!! Thanks Ginger for posting this video your the best!
I wanna take a pair of scissors and even out those bangs so bad.
that was the style in the 1990's doe
I love Diana but Whitney was in her own category and levels of success in much shorter time period. Not much comparisons other than being successful black females in popular music.
