Whitney won 11 billboard awards at the 1993 ceremony, 8 american music awards and 3 grammy awards in 1994, all for her smash hit The Bodyguard album soundtrack!
Let's not forget THE WAITING TO EXHALE SOUNDTRACK and she got to choose who she wanted on the soundtrack she even said she only wanted girls that can SING !
Whitney completely dominated during this era she was on tv and the radio nonstop ! I will always love you , I have nothing and I’m every woman we’re played on the radio from 92-99 people forget that it was so huge
I’m old, I saw this movie in theatres when I was 12. She was BRILLIANT. And maybe because she wasn’t an actress she came across very believable and vulnerable, which makes the movie land. Iirc she has a hand in helping design the performance scenes for the movie. I hope wherever Ms Houston is in the universe she’s happy singing whatever she feels like.
Fellow Xennial also saw it in theater. I am haunted knowing characters on The Golden Girls were only in their 50s at the beginning of the show. That’s not as far away as I’d like
I loved this exploration of her as the artist, music innovator, and buisness woman. She did many things behind the scenes to create opportunities for black culture. Very successful producer. She also gave us black Cinderella.
She literally was the only female that could compete with Madonna in terms of sales during the 80s, the bodyguard just made her the biggest thing in tve World for a short period.
Whitney Houston such a BEAST …. I swear black women be getting ignored in POP MUSIC … ppl only talk about Rihanna Beyoncé … but WHITNEY HOUSTON and JANET JACKSON are the real goats and we’re the original black pop superstars…. Along with Diana Ross
You realize you don’t have to bash Beyoncè or Rihanna? Y’all cannot handle a conversation of giving Black woman their credit while bashing others. It shows y’all aren’t even ready yet with the constant comparing. And Rihanna and Beyoncé’s contributions are never really noticed. Once again erasing Black Woman’s accomplishments.

To be honest The Bodyguard was the peak of Whitneys career. She was a global phenomenon already so I would say this soundtrack catapulted her success. Whitney Houston was loved by millions of people all around the world not just in the United States and I've always wanted to see some form of tribute from her fans outside of America showcasing the love and appreciation of how much she meant to them
The Body Guard movie may not be all that great, but I love the visuals and the color pallet of the film! The music also makes the movie as well. I see it as a visual extension of the album or a long music video 😂.
It was out in cinemas for the anniversary about a month ago, I asked the staff it was still on and said it had a showing the next day. Wish I had went to see it as I’ve never watched it. I didn’t find out until recently how big it was.
She's the greatest singer of all time. She's Whitney Houston. Thats how The Bodyguard became the best selling album by a female artist and best selling soundtrack of all time. The end.
Ms Whitney has the best-selling album/soundtrack by any female solo music artist overall and best-selling soundtrack overall. Whitney is the only Black artist with 3 US diamond albums (WhitneyHouston, Whitney and TheBodyguard)
Mariah Carey becomes the 2nd black artist with 3 diamond albums now that her holiday album was just certified (Music Box, Daydream and Merry Christmas). These two ladies' accomplishments are nothing short of legendary.
@@SquidProQuo80 not true Mariah's Christmas album was riaa certied 8x platinum in December 2020, it is not certified diamond by the riaa. Mariah has 2 US diamond not 3. Her christmas song is US diamond not her christmas album. As of Dec 2022 it's US 8x platinum not diamond. Once reach 2 mill then yea, but not yet
Can you imagine a 60 minute version of the Body gaurd film that played full versions of all 6 hit songs as part of its Story...? Like an Extended music video... id Agree ❤
Totally her Thriller era, but I'd say The Preacher's Wife Soundtrack is Whitney's Best Album. I'd actually put Whitney's Bodyguard era above Thriller. Whitney not only has the Best Selling Album & Single by a Female, she won every award and had a sold-out world tour. Plus, The Bodyguard is a classic that grossed over $410 million worldwide.
@@michaelgreisinger5255 I’d have to disagree, studio album Whitney (blue cover) was her best album than for her sound track eras probably the body guard
@@michaelgreisinger5255 *Thriller* era is bigger. Grossed way more money too. TB movie was a blockbuster tho, Kevin Costner was a huge movie star drawer (the biggest male actually) at the time.
Absolutely She was bigger than any female I’ve ever seen during those days complete dominance she even managed to overshadow MJ during that time success wise. No had seen anything like that before
Whitney stated as a soul artist. And crossed over because over her undeniable talent and voice. So Clive wanted her to do more pop records. I remember the backlash at the black award shows. Bobby reinstated her black identity amongst us. She was living in between both worlds
Music is Music! Whether or not you use it to make a political statement or a visionary project , you have shared your gift with the world and touched the lives of listeners. The Bodyguard sold more than Rhythm Nation and Lemonade as well as Miseducation of Lauryn Hill so I don't see the point in comparing the work of other artists to Whitney Houston. As an artist she was a trailblazer and has become the golden standard for many young artists who aspire to be like her.
You wrong! She was NOT INFLUENCED BY BOBBY! She introduced HIM to THA POWDA! HAD IT NOT been for him, THE BODYGUARD TOUR WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, DUE TO HIM STOPPING PROMOTION FOR HIS BOBBY ALBUM TO GO WITH HER, DUE TO THE FACT BOBBI KRIS WAS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD.
Area you serious. That album was Whitney houston album. All the song on the soundtrack had hits because of Whitney. That soundtrack has more hits then any album from any other female.
Are you that stupid? Whitney IS The Bodyguard album success. Please enlighten us, Who else was a standout on the soundtrack? One name one song that's not Whitney??? Exactly! Sit down have several seats mate. It is INFACT Fair that Whitney is solely credited, she carried that album all on her own, containing the best selling single by a female of all time with IWALY....not to mention her bodyguard songs are the most covered songs on talent shows globally. No other female has EVER cone close to Whitney's Bodyguard Era. Her acting debut KILLED it! Debut Movie Soundtrack...VOCAL STAPLES!

Thank you for this!!! Just because Houston didn’t scream I’m a feminist or act sexual on stage doesn’t mean she wasn’t a Innovator or boundary pusher
This was unnecessary tbh. 💀

Great Video, It's great to see her explored beyond 'the voice'. Black women get ignored and erased a lot, look at Janet Jackson
Janet is such an icon. One of the last living legends left.
They change janets album sales all the time.
Don’t forget she won 15 billboard awards at the 90/91 show n they never acknowledge it
Trust me, Janet Jackson is not erased..and still doing her thang today.. shes Janet, ms Jackson 💯

Featuring the best version of "I Will Always Love You"

The movie is a cult classic and it actually did well in the box office
@@jasondawson92 It was the best selling movie of that year.
The soundtrack enhanced the movie!! 🎥🍿🙌🏽🙏🏽👑
Nah the bodyguard is an audience movie, the money it made says it all. $411 million global, which would be nearly a billion if it was released today.

Do the Above the Rim soundtrack
I think IWALY and I HAVE NOTHING sold more units
IWALY alone sold over 20M copies
