Yes true and I loved that speaking voice of hers. To bad her voice changed from an 8 octave to 5 octave range. (If I am not msitaken). Most beautiful singer and model on earth.
I mean... Whitney would have been treated better in terms of her skin color, sexuality, drug use etc today. Though I do get what you mean... there are down sides of the past, but damn nostalgia gets to you!
What was beautiful about this footage is you can see everyone truly loved this woman. They were so glad they knew her and you can see the love was real. I felt it as I was looking at this.😊
Not much longer after this party she would conquer the world with that Voice (The Bodyguard) and the rest is History. Wish we could have frozen her in time and kept her just like this.....still miss her so much because music today just ain't the same!!
Haha, Bobby didn't want to tell the interviewer that he was actually under age, so that he could get his drink on without anyone judging. Bobby had to be at least 19 years old going on 20.
“Whitney’s 26th birthday was fast approaching, and she got to work planning a big celebration at her house in August 1989. A lot of folks thought it was odd that she hadn’t marked her 25th birthday instead, but she and I often talked about what we’d dubbed “dumb 25”, which was shorthand for all the stupid things we had done just after hitting the quarter century mark. With that logic, making it to 26 was the real milestone. Truthfully, she’d been touring so much that even if she’d wanted a party the year before she wouldn’t have had the time” - Robyn Crawford A Song For You My Life With Whitney Houston Whitney mentions getting passed 25 at 2:45 I thought that was cute 💕 I wish she was still here with us
+Ajiyah Brooks amen girl, aint it funny the people that always say someone high they show master it they must be high because they think everytime someone is having fun at a PARTY for heaven sake u suppose to be stuffy gee wiz these folks are lames
I think we all miss “ Whitney “.....it’s just so sad! But hey, we still can listen to her beautiful voice and remember the nice person she was! RIP Whitney..we love you 💕💕💕💕
The most beautiful woman with a beautiful body and voice. How I wished she stayed that way. Very selfless in the sense that she doesn't think of herself just because it's her birthday but she hopes peace and love for everyone. This was the Whitney I appreciate. Not when she was in the later years.
It's so said how Mrs. Whitney Houston life ended so tragically. She was so full of life and happiness at her 26-birthday party. RIP beautiful!! and talented Mrs. Whitney Houston.
Nobody is to be blame for her death or addiction. Whitney Houston was a grown ass woman and did what she WANTED to do. She had a great life and she was called home after she finished what she was put on this Earth to do. Love and miss ya Ms. Houston aka *THE VOICE*!!!
She looked very happy and I'm sure she was, but the dark side of her life was filled with drug addiction. How can anyone be happy if they're addicted to drugs?
Bobby and Whitney are so young lol, Whitney looked amazing that night, she's was so beautiful. And this was way before bobby and whitney started, they were best friends around this time, Bobby and Whitney didn't start dating until late 90 early 91. Anyway great video from 2 of my favorite entertainers. R.I.P. Nippy
Amazing party. Brings back memories. See myself and Quietfire walk by as ElDebarge sings HB. Really miss Whitney and Quietfire. Eternally thankful to both
@2:56 "Just peace and love for everybody, that's all I want"...aaww Whitney, I'm so sorry that birthday wish didn't come true for you. People hated on you, ridiculed you, lied on you and throw you under the bus during your struggles. Well, baby girl, you are now surrounded with nothing but "peace and love" from your heavenly father and his angels. Rest on beautiful!! I love you!
Whitney was so f****** adorable she was so cute and she had the most gorgeous smile she was just plain out beautiful and she was classy down to earth girl from New Jersey but raise upper class home
It's time to put the past behind us & move on. We all make mistakes; & have issues. Let us remember the beautiful gift of life that God allowed Whitney to have for 48 yrs. She touched many lives; & planted the LOVE of God in many of us; through her words of Wisdom; that Our Heavenly Father put in her. She was a very humbled Child of God; whom God Loved & adored so much. What Whitney Houston want for all us now; is for us to LOVE So hard so that one day all of us will Rest Peacefully in His arms.
I read the post and everyone wants to blame bobby, the blame can go around but most of it is for Whitney to bear, because she was smart and grown. Bobby was so much younger than her. he was a clown sure, they came from different back ground. Whitney sawid over and over that she got high long befroe she met Bobby.
She seem so down to earth,classy and upbeat here... In her later years, she seems so warn down and unhappy... If you watch her interview with Oprah in 2009 and watch this.. It almost seems like you're watching two different people.. Sad
Bobby Brown was sooo fine! So arrogant , i see why she jumped on his stick everyday lolll... that party looked sooo LIT!!! Like everybody that was somebody was there! She was so young, she looked amazing , voice was bright, cheerful ! I hate what happened to her sigh 😭
This is when Whitney met Bobby Brown at an awards ceremony then invited him to her birthday party. Saw the movie. This is when they started dating, I think, but pretty sure.
Movie embellished. They did start a flirt session at the awards but Donnie Simpson brought Bobby to the party. He wasn't formally invited but Donnie knew Whitney had kind of a thing for him so he brought him with him. First thing Bobby said was," All this for ONE album!" as he looked around the size of her home and what she had. Gotta be old enough to remember BET's original video soul program. Bobby was on the show and he and Donnie talked about her party and what he said. Record company was trying 2 keep Bobby away and they hosted this, Bobby was NOT invited but came with Donnie, who was
me too silkteen, sometimes I can't believe she's gone almost a year now that she passed. as far as Bobby is concerned people need to stop blaming him for her downfall. Whitney new what she was doing the drugs I mean. however Bobby didn't help her at all, just got worse through the years. I wish she was still here. Sometimes it would be cool if we could go back and change some things. Can't R.I.P WHITNEY
I hv been crying since I've been watching different footage. I get in my mood when I can watch it then sometimes I can't!!!!!!!! Those damn demons in the industry. People need to stay away from that shit. For real
Every one can place a blame on a person, brother, husband, Whitney herself, but I think seeing this video, you see innocent, young, fun loving kids that are vulnerable and eager-the negative force that takes away from that is not a family member or a loved one, its bigger than that IMO
It's just so sad what bad drugs can do.Drugs are evil,sinful.They can ruin one's life.Like Wendy Williams,I am also a former drug addicted that got swayed into marijuana when i was a teen about 16 years old. By the grace of God,He gave me strength to quit that for good when I was in my mid twenties I believe.Thank God and may He be praised always and forever.I'm so glad I don't do that anymore.
Whitney was so fucking adorable she was our first black princess she had the most gorgeous she had a adorable personality Whitney was sooo damn cute she knew how to handle her drug addiction very well until Bobby came they both was addicted to drugs but I don't believe Whitney put Bobby Brown drugs because he said he was using drugs before he met Whitney on his behind music special bobby was a womanizer I think he was not ready for marriage but Whitney was whitney need somebody her own age
Can y'all imagine....Bobby Brown was only about 19 or 20yrs old at this time. They had already connected with each other, and knew that they were interested in dating, but Whitney still was trying to see what Eddie Murphy was gonna do, Bobby was the back up guy! Eddie proved himself to be "lacking total interest" & gamey! Whitney moved on with Bobby!
whitney was soooo fucking beautiful that gorgeous smile that adorable personality Whitney's was every man dream whitney took her marriage vows more serious then Bobby did smh
He skipped 2 whole baby's momas one he had been with 11 yrs.Decided to marry Whitney and came right 2 rings he stopped going on working and went on the road with her that was his mistake
Man she had not only the most beautiful singing voice, but the most beautiful speaking voice also.
Yes true and I loved that speaking voice of hers. To bad her voice changed from an 8 octave to 5 octave range. (If I am not msitaken). Most beautiful singer and model on earth.
It's always nice to see people in happy times. The world was younger than today... and happier !
I mean... Whitney would have been treated better in terms of her skin color, sexuality, drug use etc today. Though I do get what you mean... there are down sides of the past, but damn nostalgia gets to you!
lila-rose No she would not have.....
When El Debarge said , "Happy Birthday Baby." i melted. he said that too smooth. 😍😍
Yes indeed. Lol
Briana R ikr..ooh
And he was another one high asf too lol
He did!
What was beautiful about this footage is you can see everyone truly loved this woman. They were so glad they knew her and you can see the love was real. I felt it as I was looking at this.😊
"just peace and love for everybody. that's all I want"
She really did light up a room. If you've ever wondered what an angel looks like, She was thee prettiest of them all.
Not much longer after this party she would conquer the world with that Voice (The Bodyguard) and the rest is History. Wish we could have frozen her in time and kept her just like this.....still miss her so much because music today just ain't the same!!
she was so sweet.
Wow! It's beautiful to see true footage of what went on. You're truly missed Whitney
"Peace and love for everyone, that's all I want" Amen
Whitney & Bobby in the beginning, so cute.
Haha, Bobby didn't want to tell the interviewer that he was actually under age, so that he could get his drink on without anyone judging. Bobby had to be at least 19 years old going on 20.
+Nicole Little Yes indeed.
shannonD68 Smart ,smart, you have a radar of an detective,good job because i didn't pay close attention to that one.

+Ajiyah Brooks amen girl, aint it funny the people that always say someone high they show master it they must be high because they think everytime someone is having fun at a PARTY for heaven sake u suppose to be stuffy gee wiz these folks are lames

I think we all miss “ Whitney “.....it’s just so sad! But hey, we still can listen to her beautiful voice and remember the nice person she was! RIP Whitney..we love you 💕💕💕💕
She was truly something special.

"Why a 26 birthday party, because I made it pass 25." Good answer ;)
She is so cute.

It's so said how Mrs. Whitney Houston life ended so tragically. She was so full of life and happiness at her 26-birthday party. RIP beautiful!! and talented Mrs. Whitney Houston.
Soooooo-sooo great to See her happy ☺️👏
Bobby was such a sweet funny young man no wonder Whitney fell in love.
Nobody is to be blame for her death or addiction. Whitney Houston was a grown ass woman and did what she WANTED to do. She had a great life and she was called home after she finished what she was put on this Earth to do. Love and miss ya Ms. Houston aka *THE VOICE*!!!
T Payne yes u said it
She looked very happy and I'm sure she was, but the dark side of her life was filled with drug addiction. How can anyone be happy if they're addicted to drugs?
El debarge was so high and still killed it😀, we still love you Whitney
How do you know he was high?
Movie had there clothes spot on in the movie ;)
Bobby and Whitney are so young lol, Whitney looked amazing that night, she's was so beautiful.

I remember being 26, I remember that damn well.
She was adorable “you know i did, you know i cooked all this food” 😝😝
Whitney, her mother, and brother all sweat bad. Every time she sweats doesn't mean she was high.
Sonja Bethay Whitney and her brother were on drugs. Their mother was menopausal. That's why they all sweat badly. I love them, still.
Sonja Bethay I know thats right.
Amazing party. Brings back memories. See myself and Quietfire walk by as ElDebarge sings HB. Really miss Whitney and Quietfire. Eternally thankful to both

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHITNEY ❤️
Aw the way Bobby was looking at her. He liked her since then. She was a bit older than him but that didn’t matter
makes me cry...
bobby was only 20 here
So full of life
I read the post and everyone wants to blame bobby, the blame can go around but most of it is for Whitney to bear, because she was smart and grown. Bobby was so much younger than her. he was a clown sure, they came from different back ground. Whitney sawid over and over that she got high long befroe she met Bobby.

She could not control herself before Bobby.She really admired him at first sight, though she tried not to show it.
I wish more people could see Whitney like this
Bobby Brown was sooo fine! So arrogant , i see why she jumped on his stick everyday lolll... that party looked sooo LIT!!! Like everybody that was somebody was there! She was so young, she looked amazing , voice was bright, cheerful ! I hate what happened to her sigh 😭
happy birthday whitney, i love you with all my heart, and may you rest in peace.
love that whitney was sweating always sweating
Bobby Nd Whitney havinnnn fun
The world was so much smoother
Happy belated birthday Bobby!
Hell yeah he did. He admitted it on the interview with Oprah interviewing Miss Cissy on 1/29.
I just turned 26 12/31!!omg it's 2018 now!!

I love your profile picture +TWV Houston
I even forgot how nice looking Bobby was!! Wow!!
Gotta admit Bobby was really sexy here. I can see why Whitney was attracted to him
No thats when she got married to him, they had been seeing each other 3 years
HA! BOBBY SAYS, I WISH I CAN BE LIKE U ONE DAY?!!? "RED FLAG" HAHAHA
Do you all Notice how Whitney still looks the same??? I mean black folk age so well
Who else is here after whatching the "Can I Be Me" on Showtime
Gosh all the men looked proper greasy with those jerry curl perms
🎂🥳
It's just so sad what bad drugs can do.Drugs are evil,sinful.They can ruin one's life.Like Wendy Williams,I am also a former drug addicted that got swayed into marijuana when i was a teen about 16 years old.

MOMMY AY WE WOULD'VE BEEN FIRING NIGGAS UP. I LOVE YOU MOMMY.. I LOVE YOU DAD. THIS YALL BIRTHDAY TODAY. 🐈🙀🌞🌝

So sad that she's now gone.....Way too soon....
Whitney was so fucking adorable she was our first black princess she had the most gorgeous she had a adorable personality Whitney was sooo damn cute she knew how to handle her drug addiction very well until Bobby came they both was addicted to drugs but I don't believe Whitney put Bobby Brown drugs because he said he was using drugs before he met Whitney on his behind music special bobby was a womanizer I think he was not ready for marriage but Whitney was whitney need somebody her own age
Her behavior started to change when she and Bobby married. These two should have not gotten together.
Can y'all imagine....Bobby Brown was only about 19 or 20yrs old at this time. They had already connected with each other, and knew that they were interested in dating, but Whitney still was trying to see what Eddie Murphy was gonna do, Bobby was the back up guy!
