I never understood why they made such a spectacle about this-anyone could see that this was a rough time in her life, and the decent thing to do would’ve been to simply let her try to heal in private. They were talking about her as if she wasn’t a living, breathing person who could be watching this. This woman was the walking epitome of the statement “fame is a jail cell lined in glitter.”
See the thing is, you don’t understand why because you’re most likely a loving and caring person that understands that Whitney is human and you loved her even when she was going through a tuff time.. sadly there are some mean people living in this world ☹️ I will never understand either.
I agree this crap actually pissed me off Ughh I hate they did her like this but like I said in my comment earlier…they have to take some accountability for her not being here today!
Thank you for this! ❤ But the fact that they made a whole t.v. special scrutinizing her about going on a spiritual trip with her husband. They did not let my girl live!! Nobody's perfect.
I mean, she did bring a lot of that on herself with her erratic behavior out in public around this time. She also had people close to her selling stories about her to the press for money.
I stand on what I said for years , that the fucking media and the people around her DRAINED Whitney 😔. She had too many people around her that claimed to love her but did nothing but take take take take take from her. There is NO artist and I mean NO ONE that works as hard as Whitney did , I hate seeing people constantly saying "the drugs she was doing ruined her voice". Like no stupid ass people really look at how many fucking tours she did , look at how close her albums were released and then go back and look at the tours that followed. Just her work schedule being on the road SINGING day in and day out , night in and night out will cause someone's voice to lose the flexibility and other things as well when it came to her voice. Whitney's songs were not just "regular" singing songs baby you HAVE to HAVE pipes to even attempt to sing her music , and she did that for yearsssss straight. The public doesn't understand that people GET TIRED Whitney has given soooooooooooo much to this world by this time and the only fucking thing they focus on is her downfall. It just pisses me off so bad bcus they build you up to only tear you down and Whitney was NEVER and still to this day a fucking joke!! Like how the fuck can someone say that shit!? I don't care what anyone says WHITNEY MOTHAFUCKIN' HOUSTON IS and WILL always be THEE GREATEST FEMALE SINGER IN LIFE ‼️‼️
You are a thousand times right, this comment would be enough to summarize the life of this extraordinary woman, more than the documentaries, movies or so-called biopics that have done so far and that unfortunately will still do. Thank you I agree with every single word.

People don't know that the reason Whitney went to Isreal in the first place is that her sister in law (Tina, I think) had cancer and they wanted to have a spiritual retreat for her while she fought it so that she would be fully healed. And, of course, the media had to get it twisted and make a huge spectacle out of something already stressful that was happening to Whitney & her family
"you never met me, you dont know me, you aint been in my house, you dont live with me, you dont do shit other than talk about me so watch tf what you say" - Whitney Houston I'm honestly glad Nippy said what she said because we're all thinking it. The media has DRAGGED Whitney.

Thanks for posting this. The press had no idea what they were putting together. My co-worker went on this trip with her, and said that it was a great CLEAN spiritual trip!
From the footage we saw, Whitney seemed at peace. But I’m glad she got away from those Israelites lol she must’ve thought they were going after her money. 👀 Heck she probably didn’t know who they were (I think Leolah Brown is an Israelite). But she was indeed sober and happy (only time she got upset is with the intrusive cameras). Maybe that’s why they made this trying to defame her.
The reason Bobby became emotional is due to being on Holy Ground! He's at the burial site of our Lord and Savior! He was touched, overwhelmed and felt not worthy. I would have reacted the same. I think he was touched by the Holy Spirit!

Whitney wasn’t given the same sympathetic understanding they later gave to Britney. I also felt the coverage was a bit racist. You could tell they loved calling her derogatory names and the whole nine. Being trashed on Mad TV and SNL and such. Looking back, it was disgusting coverage.
Ms Hoda narrator talking, saying that Whitney career came to end by mid to late 90s..so wrong lol. Whitney's 1996 PreacherWife album was successful and 2 hit global songs and 1998 MyLoveIsYourLove album was even more successful with 3 hit global songs esp MyLoveIs and ItsNotRight which she won a grammy for female r&b vocal in 2000. Whitney was still winning various awards in late 90s and early 2000s. Its evident that some these documentary reporters be reporting wrong information and don't research the facts the right way!
It’s all to fit a narrative. In truth between 1984 and 2001, few were as consistently successful as Whitney Houston. A 17-year constant success story? That’s rare. The only divas I know who managed that were Madonna, Sade and probably Barbra Streisand. I mean it obviously took a toll on her as we see but still 17 years? Hit albums, movies, TV shows, concerts? If that’s “over”, I’d be blessed to have THAT.
@@timmy841212 i wouldnt say Sade factoring in constant success like that. Id give that to Janet (as janet, whitney and madonna dominated 80s and even 90s along with later Mariah emerge in 90s. Sade was successful but not like that of those di vas i mentioned
@@dedee7288 Good point but yeah Whitney, Janet and Madonna were almost consistently successful for 15, 16, 17 years. That’s a mighty long period. Whitney was gonna make sure her legacy was permanent.
It´s such a sad documentary, because the media talked so badly about everything that she did during this period. If Whitney found peace there for a while then it´s good for her. I really wished that the media would be more positive towards her, but that does not sell newspapers and magazines. When it comes to celebrities the media loves to build you up and tear you down. They however also love comebacks and I wished that Whitney would still be around but in a much better place than she was towards the end of her life. Love you Whitney and your music. I always will.
If they had known the reason for the spiritual journey was for Bobby’s sister who had cancer and sadly passed but they don’t care about the truth they just want what sales$$$. Trying to make it weird or she’s out of it for going somewhere spiritual😞 it’s really sad all the crap she had to deal with, when all she wanted was to live her life, sing, and love her family!
In the retrospect, the audacity of this Dateline. WW are you high? Praising God in the holy land, what is the problem. They should let Whitney live her best life. Instead, the used her as a cash ATM machine.
I will forever love n be a Whitney Houston fan the best ever to have the voice of an angel 💯💯💯💯💯🙏🏼RIP GONE BUT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN …..so so many individual’s took advantage of her including her own blood family…..when she needed no one gave a helping hand except for a very few….most times when ur in need people look the other way even those you think would have ur back …. REST IN PEACE WHITNEY THE VOICE FOREVER NOW UR IN HEAVEN SINGING WITH THE ANGELS…#1 gone but never forgotten 🙏🏼😞
I remember watching this documentary and it was very hypocritical. Bobby and Whitney went to the Holy land on a spiritual journey. Why would that be a joke? The media always focuses on what they’re doing, and its annoying. 15:48 that’s not being unpredictable, that’s a spiritual connection and realizing where Jesus was buried
Whitney was a beautiful sprit she injoyed life just happy hate when they allways say Whitney high what she can’t be happy she’s had her troubles so sad miss you Whitney
17:01-17:28 Whitney urging Bobby to shake the Prime Minister's hand isn't strange at all lol. Whitney was a staunch believer in the traditional values and tenets of a marriage, wherein both parties embrace and perform their masculine and feminine duties, respectively, without trying to encroach upon or disempower the other. Therefore, when the Prime Minister decided upon a gesture of respect and hospitality to Bobby and Whitney in the form of a hand shake offered to Whitney, she made it a point to emphasize that her husband should be the one to accept the hand shake, as he is the man and the leader of the relationship. She actually alluded to her belief in wifely submission earlier in the video when a paparazzi guy comes up to her while she's getting out the car to enter the courthouse and says, "Good morning, Ms. Houston." She immediately corrects him, retorting, "MRS. BROWN..." She clearly wasn't appreciative of anyone, no matter how powerful or important they were, inadvertently or otherwise, putting her above her husband (in any way, shape, or form) simply due to her enormous fame and renown. To her, he would not be treated as the second-class citizen of their relationship.
Some people in the evil world act like she's not human. Like she suppose to keep making hit after hit movie after movie and not live life and make mistakes. As we all know the biggest mistake is being on drugs with plenty cash that took her beautiful life. May The Most High forgive her. Yahuah is Great ☝🏽
This woman could literally go into the middle of the dessert to "get away from it all" and STILL the cameras would follow her every move, and STILL the tabloids would judge and criticise everything she said and did. She lived her life in a literal goldfish bowl. The derisive tone of this presenter is typical of how she was treated during this time. No compassion, no understanding, just mocking and judgement. Her fame didn't empower her, it imprisoned her. She wanted a way out!
Whitney - The Queen of Pop and the trainwreck. What a tragedy ! Fanatics do not like that, but it was her reality. Being Bobby Brown was so horrible to watch. All that changed when she got separated from her girlfriend. Bobby Brown was her downfall. I missed "Houston, we have a problem" and the infamous Diane Sawyer interview.
I truly and wholeheartedly believe that Whitney's biggest downfall was when Robyn Crawford was forced out of the picture because she was the ONLY one who kept Whitney out of trouble and while I DO believe that Whitney's family loved her & all that, IMO, they didn't do enough to help her and I feel like Robyn cared more about Whitney a LOT MORE because she DID MORE for Whitney and her family dogged Robyn out so badly, trashing her (and Whitney's brother called her a "nobody" and "an opportunist")...they just didn't like her because she was/is gay. Had they NOT forced Robyn out of the picture, it's a possibility that Whitney's life could've had a completely different outcome (she would probably still be alive today)
@@jimmyboyzable I agree, Whitney was not much more than a money machine for her family and Bobby Brown was a jealous and destructive character. Another drag on her was the so-called black community who made her feel bad for her success with "white" music, just political nonsense, not to forget that gay issue. She didn't know that she lived in a snake pit. Thankfully Tina Turner made her way and became happy by separating herself from all that race shit.
@@jimmyboyzable do you think it’s possible that it was easier for Robyn to make that decision to stop checking on whitney because of how she allowed Bobby to treat her? 🤔 cause to Robyn (and many others lol) said that Bobby was really annoying and childlike. Robyn said that whitney became more distant towards her and let’s not act like Whitney wouldn’t stick by her man instead of her best friend. I wouldn’t stand seeing my best-friend with an asshole 🤷🏽♀️
3 minutes and 31 seconds in and I can't continue watching. This is disgusting. Not Whitney Houston. But the creation of this production is disgusting. This is not how you "tell a story". This is how you feed pain and negativity. This is trash.
This was the silliest documentary I’ve ever saw but I guess those were the times then. However, let’s just be honest every news reporter that reported on her are part of the reason she is not here today! You guys have to deal with that IF you’re still around today🤷🏽♀️
Karma is something. Now she has a mess and a half with Wells Fargo, her show being canceled, etc. I won’t be too mean. You know Whitney would be the type to pray for her cause she had that type of humanity.
Lets be fair！The media tore Michael and Whitney up about everything they did. Im so glad Beyonce protects herself from the media. There are a number of artist before and after Whitney that has battled drug addiction infront of the world. NONE of them have been done at the level the dragged Whitney NONE
Why was this even aired?? This is her spiritual journey. Let me tell you something Whitney did better than most of us because she should had been cussed them out! She Did it all she had nothing else to prove.
As a fan, I’m not going to finish watching this video, tabloids making money using her private life. This sad. More sad to see how many people get out of there ways to watch this. Rest my Queen.
Bad boys are truly bad boys. Brown did nothing good for her. I blame him for her demise. He took her down the darkest path and she couldn’t find her way back. Now she’s gone and it was way too soon.
This is racist.. "reveal her looking like this" at 6:50 ... she's freaking gorgeous there. White America couldn't handle her Blackness, her Black beauty, her Black faith, her anointing as a Black messenger from the Creator, so they killed her. They martyred poor Whitney who gave us absolutely everything... the doc didn't say it but she's also related to the ORIGINAL diva, the first Black opera superstar, Leontyne Price, her long lost cousin!!! I mean come on! Try & tell me God didn't set all of this up. After hundreds of years of slavery, it's like God was saying "I'll create the best voice there ever will be, & I'll put it inside of the most beautiful woman that has ever lived, & I'll make her Black-how you like that? " EDIT: UA-cam MODERATORS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO DELETE COMMENTS THAT TRY TO DISCUSS THE LIFE & DEATH TOPIC OF RACE- I hope to be surprised & that this comment will not be censored.
I disagree this isn’t racist but they tried to make it seem as if she looked unhuman or extremely cracked up! However when she was in the red she looked bad 🤦🏾♂️ but her voice was strong and she could still sing and speak so beautifully after 2003 is when she lost her voice due to heavy drug use, beers and drinking. If the media was and her so call friends was so worried about Whitney try telling her no and try to get her the gel she needed instead of always agreeing and saying yes yea yea Whitney
@@JustTheLonelyTalk she was the most vibrant she ever was, she was glorifying & adoring the Lord & (as Mahalia Jackson crooned) "YOUR God". Our standards of beauty, based so much on White supremecy & materialism, wasn't able to recognize the glowing beauty that was emanating from this faithful & courageous servant of the Creator, period. She was literally singing praise unto the Lord in her back yard ON VACATION at 11:38 (though we should normalize going into praise everywhere & anywhere at any time anyway, but that's another conversation...) , & they called it a "low moment"!!! They even called HER "strange" when she exhibits her faith in public by deferring to religious gender roles & not shaking the Israeli official's hand, letting her husband become the representative of their union, not because she thinks women are less than, but because she's telling the world at that moment with all those "cameras ablaze" that there IS a God "for the Bible tells me so", just like certain parts of the Bible say that wives are particularly adept at providing a supportive, foundational role in a marriage (not that I agree, another conversation)... who's really strange here? Hoda Kotb & Wendy dragging a saint as they claw their way to the top, too... can't ever blame a Black person for nothing in this strange world, though. You know, at least 211 Black babies are gonna die today of AIDS, according to the United Nations? WE HAVE ALL THE MEDICATION WE NEED TO SAVE THEIR LIVES!!!! But we've been selling it for $2,000+ per month when it costs only $6 to manufacture- straight facts. Strange, strange world. Crazy they're so wack about weed in this documentary, too, & persecuted Whitney for it. Now it's mostly legal almost everywhere & we now know it was criminalized only to continue to enslave Black people by imprisoning them (studies show that White & Black people use weed the same amount, but Black people are the only ones made criminally liable...) & especially criminalized for the persecution of Black-& thus inherently revolutionary- artists (Rest in Power Queen Billie Holiday) not @ all cuz it's bad in any way ... it grows out of God's green earth for Christ's sake! But they used it as a tool to commit character assassination on Whitney (& countless others), before the physical execution in the village square, for the whole world to see.
"Be careful when u are at the top coz that's when the devil comes for you" Bobby Brown was sent by Lucifer to destroy her. But I WILL ALWAYS LOVE WHITNEY, no matter what they say about her! She's the voice!
So disrespectful this video news is but guess what y’all forget she was making more money than anyone on here and she still had a voice and many songs and so many awards and was respected in music so you can focus on the drugs but she still will forever be that musical voice!!
This trip had nothing to do with Whitney and Bobby. The whole family went to Israel for Bobby Brown sister in law who had cancer. Never listen to the media

@@vivstone4596 Kevin was madly in love with her and his marriage was on the rocks. He would’ve dropped everything the moment Whitney says the word. He was waiting for her
Sad she died 8 yrs later. I believe if Robyn had stayed with her she’d be around now. I think her fans would’ve accepted the relationship if she was happy. I know I would have. Sad we’ll never know.
Bobby did actually love Whitney but he felt very discouraged by the fact Whitney’s true love was Robyn Crawford and he knew he could never make her as happy as she could
That was not her true love. Whitney thought Bobby would be THE ONE but he treated her like a dog, Robyn or not. Robyn said whatever she and Whit had was over long before she got with Bob. What Whitney really suffered from was trust and a little more self-love as well as unspoken trauma. She was a possible abuse victim and she never recovered from the fallout of her parents’ marriage. THAT’S how come she fell into that world of drugs. She was using to buffer up the pain she was going through. Robyn couldn’t help her because she herself went through traumatic episodes prior to meeting Whitney.
Not true! Whitney was a young girl just experimenting with Robyn, like so many young teens do. The physical part from my understanding only happened maybe 2 times until Whitney stopped it! ( Giving Robyn a Bible) She loved Robyn as a friend, but I believe Robyn wanted more and was in love with Nippy.. Her true love and soul mate was always Bobby Brown❤️
@@timmy841212 that is incorrect. Whitney was still secretly sleeping with Robyn up until she left in 1999. Robyn was Whitney’s safety net and Whitney would always go to Robyn when Bobby was horrible to her. Whitney loved Robyn and Whitney also had occasional affairs with other women. Whitney was more attracted to women than men
@@timmy841212 Bobby even admitted that Robyn made Whitney happier than anyone else ever could. He said himself “If Robyn had been accepted into Whitney’s life, she’d still be alive today”
@12:05 the madness that was happening with Whitney was her husband BOBBY BROWN... she needed to get rid of That madness first, a man can make you or break you and bobby sure broke sure. look at her career before him.. she was doing just fine before him. i hate bobby.
That phone call was the highlight of Wendy's life. Is she high ? No , I used to think "is she unwell?" Yes. Lots of drugs etc But I think Whitney was a very sick woman. RIP Queen. You're safe now girl ❤️❤️❤️

@@dedee7288 Good point but yeah Whitney, Janet and Madonna were almost consistently successful for 15, 16, 17 years. That’s a mighty long period. Whitney was gonna make sure her legacy was permanent.
The wheel has turned for Wendy in 2021.
It did !!!
Watching this after the Wendy documentary
It´s such a sad documentary, because the media talked so badly about everything that she did during this period. If Whitney found peace there for a while then it´s good for her. I really wished that the media would be more positive towards her, but that does not sell newspapers and magazines. When it comes to celebrities the media loves to build you up and tear you down. They however also love comebacks and I wished that Whitney would still be around but in a much better place than she was towards the end of her life. Love you Whitney and your music. I always will.
I really don't understand what was the issue was. She minding her own business and spending time away.
The sax player seems so genuine.
If they had known the reason for the spiritual journey was for Bobby’s sister who had cancer and sadly passed but they don’t care about the truth they just want what sales$$$. Trying to make it weird or she’s out of it for going somewhere spiritual😞 it’s really sad all the crap she had to deal with, when all she wanted was to live her life, sing, and love her family!
It was his sister in law
No Leolah Brown didn’t pass away but yes she had cancer
In the retrospect, the audacity of this Dateline. WW are you high? Praising God in the holy land, what is the problem. They should let Whitney live her best life. Instead, the used her as a cash ATM machine.
That’s what annoyed me. Whitney was a God-fearing woman and they even used that against her! That’s what pissed me off.
Wait but Wendy was also high 🤔
Constantly. Have nerve to judge Whitney when she looked like she just came off a high herself.
Lol
@@timmy841212yes she was doing cocaine many times. She's also in a conservatorship.
@@nattyps3160 You just made that last part up but whatever keeps you up at night. ✌🏾
Ooh my God, this documentary is ridiculous! No wonder she lost it!
The saxophonist really touched me...
You know what’s actually a joke? This documentary. What happened to Whitney? Documentaries like this.
AGREED
Dionne Warwick's mother Lee and Cissy Whitney's mom were sisters so they're first cousins.
I will forever love n be a Whitney Houston fan the best ever to have the voice of an angel 💯💯💯💯💯🙏🏼RIP GONE BUT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN …..so so many individual’s took advantage of her including her own blood family…..when she needed no one gave a helping hand except for a very few….most times when ur in need people look the other way even those you think would have ur back …. REST IN PEACE WHITNEY THE VOICE FOREVER NOW UR IN HEAVEN SINGING WITH THE ANGELS…#1 gone but never forgotten 🙏🏼😞
I remember watching this documentary and it was very hypocritical. Bobby and Whitney went to the Holy land on a spiritual journey. Why would that be a joke? The media always focuses on what they’re doing, and its annoying. 15:48 that’s not being unpredictable, that’s a spiritual connection and realizing where Jesus was buried
Whitney was a beautiful sprit she injoyed life just happy hate when they allways say Whitney high what she can’t be happy she’s had her troubles so sad miss you Whitney
17:01-17:28 Whitney urging Bobby to shake the Prime Minister's hand isn't strange at all lol. Whitney was a staunch believer in the traditional values and tenets of a marriage, wherein both parties embrace and perform their masculine and feminine duties, respectively, without trying to encroach upon or disempower the other. Therefore, when the Prime Minister decided upon a gesture of respect and hospitality to Bobby and Whitney in the form of a hand shake offered to Whitney, she made it a point to emphasize that her husband should be the one to accept the hand shake, as he is the man and the leader of the relationship. She actually alluded to her belief in wifely submission earlier in the video when a paparazzi guy comes up to her while she's getting out the car to enter the courthouse and says, "Good morning, Ms. Houston." She immediately corrects him, retorting, "MRS. BROWN..." She clearly wasn't appreciative of anyone, no matter how powerful or important they were, inadvertently or otherwise, putting her above her husband (in any way, shape, or form) simply due to her enormous fame and renown. To her, he would not be treated as the second-class citizen of their relationship.
Wow 😮 that’s all I can say omg 😱 have some compassion don’t kick someone when there down
She has headphones 🎧 but they make her look crazy
Whitney didn’t shake the prime minister’s hand because in that culture, women don’t shake men’s hands
LEGEND Whitney houston!!
Some people in the evil world act like she's not human. Like she suppose to keep making hit after hit movie after movie and not live life and make mistakes. As we all know the biggest mistake is being on drugs with plenty cash that took her beautiful life. May The Most High forgive her. Yahuah is Great ☝🏽
This woman could literally go into the middle of the dessert to "get away from it all" and STILL the cameras would follow her every move, and STILL the tabloids would judge and criticise everything she said and did. She lived her life in a literal goldfish bowl. The derisive tone of this presenter is typical of how she was treated during this time. No compassion, no understanding, just mocking and judgement. Her fame didn't empower her, it imprisoned her. She wanted a way out!
You hit the nail on the head; couldn't have said it better.
Whitney - The Queen of Pop and the trainwreck. What a tragedy ! Fanatics do not like that, but it was her reality. Being Bobby Brown was so horrible to watch.
All that changed when she got separated from her girlfriend. Bobby Brown was her downfall.
I missed "Houston, we have a problem" and the infamous Diane Sawyer interview.
I truly and wholeheartedly believe that Whitney's biggest downfall was when Robyn Crawford was forced out of the picture because she was the ONLY one who kept Whitney out of trouble and while I DO believe that Whitney's family loved her & all that, IMO, they didn't do enough to help her and I feel like Robyn cared more about Whitney a LOT MORE because she DID MORE for Whitney and her family dogged Robyn out so badly, trashing her (and Whitney's brother called her a "nobody" and "an opportunist")...they just didn't like her because she was/is gay.
Had they NOT forced Robyn out of the picture, it's a possibility that Whitney's life could've had a completely different outcome (she would probably still be alive today)
@@jimmyboyzable I agree, Whitney was not much more than a money machine for her family and Bobby Brown was a jealous and destructive character. Another drag on her was the so-called black community who made her feel bad for her success with "white" music, just political nonsense, not to forget that gay issue. She didn't know that she lived in a snake pit.
Thankfully Tina Turner made her way and became happy by separating herself from all that race shit.
@@jimmyboyzable do you think it’s possible that it was easier for Robyn to make that decision to stop checking on whitney because of how she allowed Bobby to treat her? 🤔 cause to Robyn (and many others lol) said that Bobby was really annoying and childlike. Robyn said that whitney became more distant towards her and let’s not act like Whitney wouldn’t stick by her man instead of her best friend. I wouldn’t stand seeing my best-friend with an asshole 🤷🏽♀️
Rest in Peace Whitney
3 minutes and 31 seconds in and I can't continue watching. This is disgusting. Not Whitney Houston. But the creation of this production is disgusting. This is not how you "tell a story". This is how you feed pain and negativity. This is trash.
This was the silliest documentary I’ve ever saw but I guess those were the times then. However, let’s just be honest every news reporter that reported on her are part of the reason she is not here today! You guys have to deal with that IF you’re still around today🤷🏽♀️
Her spirit was always there she didn’t have to go there
Now that Wendy Williams is experiencing the Lord's judgment and wrath.
I was laughing watching Wendy’s documentary seeing her cry like that LMAOO 🤣🤣 I enjoyed every second of it !
Karma is something. Now she has a mess and a half with Wells Fargo, her show being canceled, etc. I won’t be too mean. You know Whitney would be the type to pray for her cause she had that type of humanity.
@@timmy841212 I said that too… Whitney would’ve wished her the best lol that woman was way too nice lol
@@ilovelyrics6759 Whitney is probably having a Newport sitting back laughing at Wendy! Karma is a hoe 👀🚬🎩
U ARE A LEGEND ….. THANKKKKK UUU
I remember recording this on my VHS TAPE❤
Lets be fair！The media tore Michael and Whitney up about everything they did. Im so glad Beyonce protects herself from the media. There are a number of artist before and after Whitney that has battled drug addiction infront of the world. NONE of them have been done at the level the dragged Whitney NONE
This interview was SOOO SHADY AND DISRESPECTFUL TO HER!!!!!!!!!
Why was this even aired?? This is her spiritual journey. Let me tell you something Whitney did better than most of us because she should had been cussed them out! She Did it all she had nothing else to prove.
As a fan, I’m not going to finish watching this video, tabloids making money using her private life. This sad. More sad to see how many people get out of there ways to watch this. Rest my Queen.
You can see the jealousy in their boring eyes.
Bad boys are truly bad boys. Brown did nothing good for her. I blame him for her demise. He took her down the darkest path and she couldn’t find her way back. Now she’s gone and it was way too soon.
Miss you Whitney
This is racist.. "reveal her looking like this" at 6:50 ... she's freaking gorgeous there. White America couldn't handle her Blackness, her Black beauty, her Black faith, her anointing as a Black messenger from the Creator, so they killed her. They martyred poor Whitney who gave us absolutely everything... the doc didn't say it but she's also related to the ORIGINAL diva, the first Black opera superstar, Leontyne Price, her long lost cousin!!! I mean come on! Try & tell me God didn't set all of this up. After hundreds of years of slavery, it's like God was saying "I'll create the best voice there ever will be, & I'll put it inside of the most beautiful woman that has ever lived, & I'll make her Black-how you like that? " EDIT: UA-cam MODERATORS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO DELETE COMMENTS THAT TRY TO DISCUSS THE LIFE & DEATH TOPIC OF RACE- I hope to be surprised & that this comment will not be censored.
We can’t pretend that Whitney didn’t look unhealthy during her trip to Israel.
I disagree this isn’t racist but they tried to make it seem as if she looked unhuman or extremely cracked up! However when she was in the red she looked bad 🤦🏾♂️ but her voice was strong and she could still sing and speak so beautifully after 2003 is when she lost her voice due to heavy drug use, beers and drinking.
If the media was and her so call friends was so worried about Whitney try telling her no and try to get her the gel she needed instead of always agreeing and saying yes yea yea Whitney
@@JustTheLonelyTalk she was the most vibrant she ever was, she was glorifying & adoring the Lord & (as Mahalia Jackson crooned) "YOUR God". Our standards of beauty, based so much on White supremecy & materialism, wasn't able to recognize the glowing beauty that was emanating from this faithful & courageous servant of the Creator, period. She was literally singing praise unto the Lord in her back yard ON VACATION at 11:38 (though we should normalize going into praise everywhere & anywhere at any time anyway, but that's another conversation...) , & they called it a "low moment"!!! They even called HER "strange" when she exhibits her faith in public by deferring to religious gender roles & not shaking the Israeli official's hand, letting her husband become the representative of their union, not because she thinks women are less than, but because she's telling the world at that moment with all those "cameras ablaze" that there IS a God "for the Bible tells me so", just like certain parts of the Bible say that wives are particularly adept at providing a supportive, foundational role in a marriage (not that I agree, another conversation)... who's really strange here? Hoda Kotb & Wendy dragging a saint as they claw their way to the top, too... can't ever blame a Black person for nothing in this strange world, though. You know, at least 211 Black babies are gonna die today of AIDS, according to the United Nations? WE HAVE ALL THE MEDICATION WE NEED TO SAVE THEIR LIVES!!!! But we've been selling it for $2,000+ per month when it costs only $6 to manufacture- straight facts. Strange, strange world. Crazy they're so wack about weed in this documentary, too, & persecuted Whitney for it. Now it's mostly legal almost everywhere & we now know it was criminalized only to continue to enslave Black people by imprisoning them (studies show that White & Black people use weed the same amount, but Black people are the only ones made criminally liable...) & especially criminalized for the persecution of Black-& thus inherently revolutionary- artists (Rest in Power Queen Billie Holiday) not @ all cuz it's bad in any way ... it grows out of God's green earth for Christ's sake! But they used it as a tool to commit character assassination on Whitney (& countless others), before the physical execution in the village square, for the whole world to see.
Learn a new word. 🙄
@@skip031890 show me a new world 🌎
Wendy Williams had her nerve to judge Whitney.. that's why she's going through a lot now
THANK YOU
This is my favorite condescending Whitney’s moment “WE”….. to YOU GOT FOOTAGE TODAY…. She knew the whole perimeter of cameras 🎥. 15:10
Media💔
"Be careful when u are at the top coz that's when the devil comes for you" Bobby Brown was sent by Lucifer to destroy her. But I WILL ALWAYS LOVE WHITNEY, no matter what they say about her! She's the voice!
La création de dieu Est parfaite dans toutes ces formes amen🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷❤️
All they wanted to report are negative things about this people. Hoda couldn't keep her own marriage past 3 years
21.57
What a mean mama. Even in her drug binge she chose to keep her daughter in the medias.😮😢
the media didn't do shyt she made herself look like whatever tf y'all talking about in here
Does anyone know the song at the end when she is getting baptized “ heaven”
0:55 Wendy jumpscare
No one knows the spot where Jesus was buried. That place is simply a tourist attraction
Really?
Sounds like a cult. No living man can claim himself to be the messiah or should be idolized as such
SUBTITLES IM BRAZILIAN! 01-08-2024
So disrespectful this video news is but guess what y’all forget she was making more money than anyone on here and she still had a voice and many songs and so many awards and was respected in music so you can focus on the drugs but she still will forever be that musical voice!!
This trip had nothing to do with Whitney and Bobby. The whole family went to Israel for Bobby Brown sister in law who had cancer. Never listen to the media
Semua kesalahan Ibu yg memelihara dan membangun Anaknya menjadi terkenal,tapi Ibunya tidak bisa memahami dan mengenal karakter Anaknya yg sebenarnya. Sayang ibunya gagal mengasuh dan mengasihinya.Ibunya hanya bangga menyaksikan anaknya terkenal, juga orang orang disekitarnya yg menyayanginya dgn kebohongan.Super Ambisius yg merusak Jiwanya.
She wasn't singing to herself she was singing to God. It's obvious that the woman speaking has no idea who God is.
She meets Ariel Sharon and she first walks into a damn bush?
Also, the Wendy conversation, sound’s unhinged
When does she say “hey bobBAY!!!”???
I wish she never got with Bobby. Kevin Costner was the man for her.
kevin was marries man then with children.
@@vivstone4596 Kevin was madly in love with her and his marriage was on the rocks. He would’ve dropped everything the moment Whitney says the word. He was waiting for her
Sad she died 8 yrs later. I believe if Robyn had stayed with her she’d be around now. I think her fans would’ve accepted the relationship if she was happy. I know I would have. Sad we’ll never know.
But she didn’t want a gay relationship with Robyn. 🙄
Bobby did actually love Whitney but he felt very discouraged by the fact Whitney’s true love was Robyn Crawford and he knew he could never make her as happy as she could
That was not her true love. Whitney thought Bobby would be THE ONE but he treated her like a dog, Robyn or not. Robyn said whatever she and Whit had was over long before she got with Bob. What Whitney really suffered from was trust and a little more self-love as well as unspoken trauma. She was a possible abuse victim and she never recovered from the fallout of her parents’ marriage. THAT’S how come she fell into that world of drugs. She was using to buffer up the pain she was going through. Robyn couldn’t help her because she herself went through traumatic episodes prior to meeting Whitney.
Not true! Whitney was a young girl just experimenting with Robyn, like so many young teens do. The physical part from my understanding only happened maybe 2 times until Whitney stopped it! ( Giving Robyn a Bible) She loved Robyn as a friend, but I believe Robyn wanted more and was in love with Nippy.. Her true love and soul mate was always Bobby Brown❤️
Robyn has nothing to do with the Bobby's mistreatment of Whitney
@@timmy841212 that is incorrect. Whitney was still secretly sleeping with Robyn up until she left in 1999. Robyn was Whitney’s safety net and Whitney would always go to Robyn when Bobby was horrible to her.
Whitney loved Robyn and Whitney also had occasional affairs with other women. Whitney was more attracted to women than men
@@timmy841212 Bobby even admitted that Robyn made Whitney happier than anyone else ever could. He said himself “If Robyn had been accepted into Whitney’s life, she’d still be alive today”
whit didn't give a shyt about media if yall listen to the wendy interview yall would know that
I hate this documentary, it’s so disgusting and disrespectful
NBC is so awful. Has always been.
I wanna see nippy, not hear about the Clive story for the hundred time..
@12:05 the madness that was happening with Whitney was her husband BOBBY BROWN... she needed to get rid of That madness first, a man can make you or break you and bobby sure broke sure. look at her career before him.. she was doing just fine before him. i hate bobby.
That's the strangest thing I've ever seen !
We all know her dad was a criminal and his so call partner needs money which he never got lol.
That phone call was the highlight of Wendy's life. Is she high ? No , I used to think "is she unwell?"
Yes. Lots of drugs etc
But I think Whitney was a very sick woman. RIP Queen. You're safe now girl ❤️❤️❤️
Guy pinus duche bag
I love Whitney. But the fact people made a joke out of her was her own fault.
be quiet
@@mattmatthews3689 no
Not always...
I agree!
Whitney minded her own business . It was the media that sought her out and harassed her . She never went looking for attention .
Whitney needed to go to Africa to find her roots... not Israel. Embarrassing! What drugs do to the mind is sad.
She needed rehab not Africa or Israel
@@ryanallen8455 maybe a rehab IN Africa. If they have them there.
Not you attributing her spiritual beliefs to drugs…….. shame on you
Leave her alone. 🙄
it is in africa
