That moment of Kevin Costner in that church that day humanized Whitney in a profound way. It still makes me cry to see this. He really saw Whitney the woman and clearly had a deep love for her.
She became how these people of our United States of America loved our Singapore becsung. Full of love forvour country and our right given to us.by the men and women who died for you snd gor me. Whitney will always bevthe best😢🎉🎉🎉🎉 because she is the best singer ever to show us God's gift to her and she gave it to us. God bless you Whitney. ❤and 😢😢
Nicole, you said a mouthful. Kevin's speech at Whitney's funeral, was truly heartfelt. His eyes were telling of his internal pain of losing our beloved Whitney.
@@olliejohnson3156 we all wished that Whitney knew her worth, she was special in every way and we are still missing her. Kevin told her that she was worthy of her success and that she was a winner, she was full of doubt and she passed away with loneliness and feelings of inadequacy.
There's no god and there's no need to be. and so, there's no satan. People will realize it in centuries. It's only us on this planet. Us and our actions.
Cissy could never take accountability for how Whitney turned out.. All three of her children ended up addicted heavily to hard drugs yet somehow she believes none of it is her fault
@@mariahyohannes You're right! Mrs. Houston is my favorite of all time and I love her. Some want to place all of the blame on the shoulders of Bobby! Sure he had his issues also and they probably weren't a great match for each other. People act as if Mrs. Houston had never done a drug a day in her life before Bobby! When all your children are addicted you as a parent share some of the blame! Cissy is the same person who said Elvis never preformed High! Well anyone that has seen Elvis's late performances! His back up singers had to carry him through the concert he would literally lay down on the stage.
She was so extremely talented. The Bodyguard is always going to be one of the best movies ever. She and Kevin Costner knocked it out of the park. I wish she could've defeated her demons. Because her heart was pure.
I like The Body Guard, but the movie," The Preacher's Wife" was Whitney. The best of who she really was. A must see movie for me Every Christmas Season.
@Clam Clam yes and she also gained weight. You can tell she was getting clean but the thing about hard drugs is you can never really become completely clean at once. You have to wean it off.. and sometimes you can beat the addiction and sometimes not.
I'm more thankful for what God shared with the world, Jesus. He gave us Jesus! Jesus is the greatest gift ever. Whitney was God's blessing, not His gift to the world though. Jesus is God's gift to the world!
@@christinaperrigo pure souls exemplify the works of God. She was generous, kind, talented…and perhaps misguided in some ways…drugs are no more addiction than feeling wholly righteous to judge another. You, in your earthy dwelling of a body have no honor in not calling another one of Gods children not pure. He made us all perfect. Whether we digress He still does not judge, nor should you….basically that’s my nice way of saying CARRY TF ON! 😂😘
"A NATIONAL TREASURE!" Rightly said. Our girl is gone, but she lives forever in our hearts and minds. Her combination of beauty, voice, and charisma is unrivaled, even after all these years. RIP, sweet child of God!
Notice she said she understood the gift when she was singing for the lord in church as a teenager, but after she became a star for the world she lost the true essence eventually which is the anointing that was attached to her voice and who she was. This is what the devil does snuffs the anointing right from the person until they are lifeless. That voice, her looks her charisma her presence was all a gift from God and he wanted her truly to sing for him.
She is sleeping, like every died. And waiting for the resurrection on earth, under the God's Kingdom rules, when God fully answers that prayer "Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, ALSO ON EARTH". Jesus said about Jairus' daughter: "she did not die but is sleeping" (Luke 8:52). When God’s Kingdom rules without opposition over this earth, Whitney, her daughter Crissy (and her four unborn children from miscarriages) and millions of people will be resurrected and welcomed back from the dead.
One thing that i adore the most from Whitney is she so Love the Lord. Everytime she talk about her Jesus, The Lord, u can see it comes from her heart. He loves Jesus from the bottom of her heart. And it inspired me so much
Quincey Jones said it best “It’s like God held his hands on Whitney longer then he did the others”… I still can’t understand her voice! It’s like an angel came down from heaven to perform…
Whitney was a beautiful soul..I think if she had married kevin her life could have been even better..one thing that made the movie the greatest the Bodyguard its because of Whitney s sensational songs. Will forever cherish those memories
It's beautiful to see the love Kevin Costner had for Whitney Houston. I think he loved her more than she loved herself. Even before Kevin and The Bodyguard came into her life, she struggled. She struggled with drugs, she struggled with her relationship and eventual marriage to Bobby Brown. She struggled with the miscarriages she had and probably because of that, she struggled with her faith. I have never been pregnant as I cannot have children so I cannot even imagine the pain of having life grow inside of you only for it to die. I cannot imagine her mind creating turmoil blaming herself and what she had done to her body with drugs, work, stress etc. Here comes an opportunity for her to shine even brighter by now becoming an actress with Kevin Costner coming into her life with a big movie and then she becomes pregnant again and this time it's a beautiful baby girl in her arms alive and healthy. She's not just a singer/actress, now she's a mom. Those damn struggles were still there though, knocking at her door and calling out to her to open up. Now more records to record, more movie scripts to read, more struggles in her marriage and that blissed out feeling of being high and ready to work called her to what she knew, drugs could help her juggle everything. They helped her before and no one really knew. No one can ever know that call unless you've been through it. Sometimes it's louder than anything you can ever hear. And you think that maybe just a little bit could ease the tension. Just a little hit can help you get up and get to work. Take care of your child, your man, your job, your house. But it's never just a little bit. A little bit becomes a little bit more until it takes more than you can give. We can think back now and see the horrific ways both she and Bobbi Kristina left this world. Bobbi Kristina's body may not have died in her bathtub, that day at the hands of a evil man, but I think her soul went straight into God and her mother's arms. Now mother and daughter are together again and though it's heartbreaking we're still left with the legacy of their lives. May they both rest in peace. Lord knows they deserve rest and peace.
@@therussellfamily6159 no it's not that they knew each other since they were kids it's more of what they had in common and that is they both went to church as kids and a Baptist one at that.
Her mother said it so well, "I wanna see that light in your eyes again". The whole world was thinking the same thing. We loved Whitney and we missed that glow she always had when singing, it was as if the light went out. Whitney was a special gift God shared with the world and you just knew it.
Oprah has it twisted She clearly doesn’t know what goes into developing a beautiful voice Nobody “gave” Whitney her vocal ability She was born with a talent & worked so very hard day in day out to develop her instrument Bless you Whitney. I hope you are peaceful and happy
God had a plan for Whitney and I believe she wanted out of the enemy's trap, a life that wasn't to glorify God. The enemy stole from her the gifts God placed to use for Him not the world. The enemy stole everything from her sadly.
@@heartartistic2604 I believe that although Whitney grew up in the church and her mom supported her later in the music industry, it was a wrong turn for her. Her purpose was to impact people for God that would reflect who He is and many would draw closer to Him. Whitney needed support from her mom and others around her to love her enough not that she made fame and riches, which God isn't against wealth but no one stepped for her considering her well being, soul and that the price she would pay is much greater than all the enemy would give her. She was searching really and didn't have peace because she wasn't in God's Will. I believe as she understood in her soul that she needed God and all the weight of fame, the music industry, her personal battles would destroy her. She wanted out and didn't know really how to surrender to God because she would have to give up everything to serve Him because you can't serve two masters. She signed contracts and was a slave to whatever she had to do. She was also so extremely beautiful, I believe we don't even know what all she more likely had to do as models have sex with prestigious men, and there was so much on her shoulders, she couldn't go anywhere without cameras and the media. She couldn't live she was like a slave though she had riches, she didn't have peace. I believe that the enemy snatched her life from her. Few know their last hour on earth, I believe she sensed the call of God and felt so distant from Him. If she earlier on repented and moved from that life which she battled God would accept her in. Though intentions are not what get to Heaven but sacrifice, obedience and living life pleasing to Christ. You have to be transformed though He give us free will to choose. The enemy snatched her after he used her for his plans. Salvation isn't what alot of churches are proclaiming, the real gospel and the ways of Christ and our obligation. It's a Narrow road and way it requires your life. Whitney would have had to give up her life, turn from it and go in the direction of Christ for truly Salvation as we all do.
It was impossible not to love her. Hearing the underlying rasp in her voice in this interview caused me pain. I think we all know how her voice got that way.. I miss her. Everyone does.
whitney even knew for herself she was losing who she was to the fame. she struggled so much but she tried to keep that beautiful smile thru it all 🤍 she had such a beautiful voice, it was just such a shame we had to lose her so soon.
She is asked who does she love? ...and the first person, the first one that comes to her mind is not a human around her (mom, kid, friend, etc), no, she said the Lord. AMEN TO THAT! I hope God has written her name in the Book of Life and she will be found blameless in the powerful, righteous name of Jesus the Christ...
Tears in my eyes as I rewatch this interview. I remember praying for her daily and I was so happy to see her in this space. She was doing so well, then that night before the Grammy's. My heart sank when I heard the news.
Me too...I thought something was weird about her death more evidence is coming out I believe it why the news never said she had 12 gashes on her crest... the news when she died they just continued saying she had overdosed and died by accidental drowning 🤥🤥😤 broken nails swollen beat-up face,busted lip, skin slippage, the media and the News ain't 💩either.. why they lie
My heart was crushed when she passed away. I might be wrong but I really believe if she would have gotten with Kevin she would still be here today. Anybody else agree or am I totally wrong about that??
I love me some Whitney Houston! She is the only entertainer that upon hearing the passing of, I actually, literally cried. I was one of those who wondered how could she not know how special her voice was and was angry at how she squandered away such a beautiful gift. Now I just am thankful to have actually been blessed to have experienced her music in real time.
I love whitney just for who she was .Just imagine going through your own trials and tribulations and everybody around u steady want u to sing, do tours , this that and everything else in between. She just wanted to raise her child and live a simple life.
"My way or no way" a mother's love is eternal ❤ r.i.p. Whitney you gave us great joy over the years with your awesome music and voice God lent you to us and for that the world is grateful
It brought tears to my eyes because I used to be there . It is a hard thing to leave alone and I just really cried when I heard she passed I am a New Jersey girl .God Bless her mother.Because I think that she wanted her daughter back . I saw her speaking with Oprah and I really felt her Whitney's pain I just want to say that's really sad that she is not with us any longer. God Bless Her Mother!!!
Respect for your honesty and humility Whitney, your talk here captured on film will help many people who watch it. One day at a time... God bless you, through the mercy of God, may you rest in peace beautiful lady, blessed with the most incredible voice ❤
As a man who likes pop music. I appreciated Whitney's huge talent. Hers was and is a a singular gift and she set a bar that few have ever reached. Yes I was and still am infatuated with her. As a man I perceived a niave vulnerablilty in her that illicited in me the desire to protect and keep safe. I will always love your performance as a talented actress and singer in the Body Guard and I think that is where my crush on Whitney Houston developed. I both miss her and mourn her passing and pray that her relationship with God was intact and that she now resides with Him in Heaven.
As an addict in recovery myself who finally ended up homeless because my parents tossed me out and did the right thing as I've been in recovery many years now I still get those days she talks about but I go through the craving and I know it will pass. Because it got bad enough for me to want to change not to say that it didn't for her but sometimes it gets you.
6:05 is when I knew things would not end well for her. The “yes ma’am” and chuckle came off insincere and then when she said she still drinks I knew that was a bad sign. No counselor or psychologist etc would condone a recovering alcoholic drinking, even just a sip here n there. Any recovering addict is told to stay away from those substances and especially those who do them. You’re told to stay completely sober. It takes years or even decades of sobriety to be able to handle a glass of wine without relapsing. The fact that she was still drinking at this point was telling. 😔
I saw this interview as a teenager in highschool and thought it was okay but now as a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Therapist I agree with you ! there’s a saying in recovery “one is too many , and two is never enough” which means she was not ready to handle that lifestyle especially she was still in recovery
A great gift, with many demons...she desperately needed true friends. Yes, I believe she was saved, our God did not abandon her. We, as the Church abandoned her in not praying, fasting and praying for her freedom from drugs. We all saw, watched and heard her cries....pray she is at peace in Jesus Name.
THANK U , I PRAYED FOR HER EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE SAY THEY LOVE YOU AND AS SOON AS THEY SEE YOUR WRONGS THEY DOWN U. IT'S NOT RIGHT. WE ALL WE GOT , I WILL ALWAYS LOVE GOD FOR EVERYONE IN MY LIFE RATHER THEY WRONG OR U RIGHT.
Love Whitney Houston. Her music so uplifting and one of the few Singers out there who made me cry every time I heard her love songs. So sad about her life ended. Rest In Peace Whitney Houston
I used to like oprah but there really is alot about her that is very shady but not reported in the press. She has talked alot about sexual predators over the years while remaining silent about Harvey Weinstein and continuing to be his friend while he sexually assaulted women. Shes also very good friends with david Geffen who is also so shady and very seedy and corrupt. I understand that you like her but she is a real hypocrite.
My heart breaks at this loss because she was so amazing and to think about how our community really put her through the ringer along with a hard childhood. So much potential even as she got older. Gosh I am gonna cry….I love her….
Wow what a beautiful testimony from Kevin Cost. I remember him talking about how hard it was to get Whitney in the lead role in Bodyguard Movie 🎥! The studio said that the world wasn’t ready for an inter racial relationship. They he should cast a white actress instead. It would be a major flop! Flash forward. The movie was successful and the Bodyguard sound track took the movie to new heights! He basically had those executives eating their words! I grew up in the church ⛪ and had MANY visits to the back of the church! So that my Mom could “help me get my mind right”! 😂 One time she forgot her belt! I was so happy that I started to leave. My like “Where are you going”? She then used her hardcover bible and lit me up! 😆
Wow Kevin 😩🤎🤎 I almost cried. I love when you can still laugh at a funeral while listening to the truth. She really was tired and drained when she did this interview.
I relate to this woman so much. Not that I'm an international superstar but as a person who struggling with my brokenness and loving God through it all.
The Bodyguard is a movie.She decided to marry Bobby Brown because she loves me,sorry not please the Black community.She makes her own choice.Leave her alone.
Even if she had never met BB or married KC Whitney would've still died bc she was self destructive and an addict. She was doing drugs before BB. I hear it was a family member that got Whitney hooked on drugs. I'm a great fan of Whitney and hated what happened to her with the drugs. I pray she did find her way back to the Lord and is at peace with Him. She and Bobbi Christina.😘💝🎋💒
Whitney had immense pain and a turbulent life. Addiction is such a devastating disease because it wreaks havoc on every facet of your life. And its chronic. I think she forgot about that part, you have to constantly do the work and fight for your sobriety. She could never have conquered it while still having yes people, enablers and the same toxic environment which lead her down that path.
She had the voice of an 😇. It was a true gift from God! I too wish she could have overcome her demons... 😔 😭 What a traggic, premature loss her death was. Glad she knew her Lord and do believe she is in heaven.
It is so very sad to watch and see her determination knowing that we lost her. I begin to believe she made it and then reality comes back. A beautiful person with so much talent. Why did we not look after her better?
She has always mentioned her love for God in she always been humble the world wanted her to be what they wanted she just wanted to be herself in make good music I will always love her
It is virtually impossible to reflect on her story, and not be moved by hearing her talk about her faith in Christ. 😭 I mean, how many artists today expose their faith like that? I'm not judging anyone, but it's missing sometimes is this industry....😣 I thank God for her life.🌹
Kevin loved her, so deeply. If there is a new life, I hope she has someone like him to marry and that would cherish her. She is resting, and I hope at great peace
@@elisageorge2261 Not necessarily there are a lot of Gospel Artists that are on drugs and committing adultery and being addicts. Do not be deceived the devil can get a hold of you at any place.
Whitney wanted to be a mainstream global super star and that’s exactly what she got. Her being in gospel wouldn’t have made her life any better, she had already been using drugs even before her 18th birthday.
Her mother knew she had strayed from the Lord. It gave the enemy a foothold. It's important to understand if you are a Christian, you might sin but God will forgive you.
We're all in this battle " No one is different we don't get out of this without our own trial and Tribulation. But like Whitney we have god on are side ..I pray she's singing for the lord tonight..
By the time this interview rolled around, her voice, the gift that good Lord had given her, was shot. When G-d gives you that gift, you have to decide if you take care of it, cultivate it, revere it, and know that as soon as He gives it to you, he could take it away if you're not good to that gift...which is a reflection of the good Lord Himself. Too many terrible people around her. Temptation got the best of her.
SHE BROUGHT ME TO GOD AND CHRIST WITH HER VOICE. SHE DID WHAT SHE SUPPOSE TO HAVE DONE HERE ON THIS EARTH AND AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE STILL GAVE HIM ALL THE GLORY. SHE LOVED THE LORD NO MATTER WHAT.
It just shows how the world with all its distractions of success, wealth and fame can make even the chosen ones lost but God has ways to bring them back where they really belong. God knows what He does despite human perception and judgement. Let what others think or say not distract you further. He has tailored individual plan for each of His own. To Him be the praise and gratitude for everyday travails no matter how they seem.
That moment of Kevin Costner in that church that day humanized Whitney in a profound way. It still makes me cry to see this. He really saw Whitney the woman and clearly had a deep love for her.
She was not only the best singer but incredibly beautiful.
Absolutely
Agree
Inside and out
She had it all fame, fortune, and beauty
One of the most beautiful women in the world for sure.
Yes. Whitney struggled but she loved GOD with all her heart & soul. 😢 🙏

You are so right.

EXACTLY well said
It's beautiful to see the love Kevin Costner had for Whitney Houston. I think he loved her more than she loved herself. Even before Kevin and The Bodyguard came into her life, she struggled. She struggled with drugs, she struggled with her relationship and eventual marriage to Bobby Brown. She struggled with the miscarriages she had and probably because of that, she struggled with her faith. I have never been pregnant as I cannot have children so I cannot even imagine the pain of having life grow inside of you only for it to die.

She was born with a talent & worked so very hard day in day out to develop her instrument
Bless you Whitney. I hope you are peaceful and happy
I think what Oprah meant was how we all said said she got a gift from god - Her Voice.
Still loving you in 2022. Whitney is a National Treasure
Whitney loved the Lord so much. God took her home, no more pain. Miss Whitney so much!
Smh
@@peacefulwarrior3549 😣
God had a plan for Whitney and I believe she wanted out of the enemy's trap, a life that wasn't to glorify God. The enemy stole from her the gifts God placed to use for Him not the world. The enemy stole everything from her sadly.
@@peacefulwarrior3549 It was a very sad story even and wrong choices 😣 What do u thing about her salvation?
@@heartartistic2604 I believe that although Whitney grew up in the church and her mom supported her later in the music industry, it was a wrong turn for her. Her purpose was to impact people for God that would reflect who He is and many would draw closer to Him. Whitney needed support from her mom and others around her to love her enough not that she made fame and riches, which God isn't against wealth but no one stepped for her considering her well being, soul and that the price she would pay is much greater than all the enemy would give her. She was searching really and didn't have peace because she wasn't in God's Will. I believe as she understood in her soul that she needed God and all the weight of fame, the music industry, her personal battles would destroy her. She wanted out and didn't know really how to surrender to God because she would have to give up everything to serve Him because you can't serve two masters. She signed contracts and was a slave to whatever she had to do. She was also so extremely beautiful, I believe we don't even know what all she more likely had to do as models have sex with prestigious men, and there was so much on her shoulders, she couldn't go anywhere without cameras and the media. She couldn't live she was like a slave though she had riches, she didn't have peace. I believe that the enemy snatched her life from her. Few know their last hour on earth, I believe she sensed the call of God and felt so distant from Him. If she earlier on repented and moved from that life which she battled God would accept her in. Though intentions are not what get to Heaven but sacrifice, obedience and living life pleasing to Christ. You have to be transformed though He give us free will to choose. The enemy snatched her after he used her for his plans. Salvation isn't what alot of churches are proclaiming, the real gospel and the ways of Christ and our obligation. It's a Narrow road and way it requires your life. Whitney would have had to give up her life, turn from it and go in the direction of Christ for truly Salvation as we all do.
It was impossible not to love her. Hearing the underlying rasp in her voice in this interview caused me pain. I think we all know how her voice got that way.. I miss her. Everyone does.
whitney even knew for herself she was losing who she was to the fame. she struggled so much but she tried to keep that beautiful smile thru it all 🤍 she had such a beautiful voice, it was just such a shame we had to lose her so soon.
Think that’s the most beautiful eulogy I’ve ever heard 😌♥️
Kevin gave a lovely speech.
She is asked who does she love? ...and the first person, the first one that comes to her mind is not a human around her (mom, kid, friend, etc), no, she said the Lord. AMEN TO THAT!
I hope God has written her name in the Book of Life and she will be found blameless in the powerful, righteous name of Jesus the Christ...
WontB Quiet AMEN😇
I think when we end up there we will find she is singing in His choir.I cannot wait for that day!
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME,ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!
@@Pilaroflove And that's why I love her the most.
AMEN
Tears in my eyes as I rewatch this interview. I remember praying for her daily and I was so happy to see her in this space. She was doing so well, then that night before the Grammy's. My heart sank when I heard the news.
Me too...I thought something was weird about her death
more evidence is coming out I believe it why the news never said she had 12 gashes on her crest... the news when she died they just continued saying she had overdosed and died by accidental drowning 🤥🤥😤 broken nails swollen beat-up face,busted lip, skin slippage, the media and the News ain't 💩either.. why they lie
My heart was crushed when she passed away. I might be wrong but I really believe if she would have gotten with Kevin she would still be here today. Anybody else agree or am I totally wrong about that??
I agree entirely kevin costner would've been a amazing influence in her life she would've gotten clean and everything
Whitney and Kevin would have made a beautiful couple together.. i personally believe he really loved her very very much!
I love me some Whitney Houston! She is the only entertainer that upon hearing the passing of, I actually, literally cried. I was one of those who wondered how could she not know how special her voice was and was angry at how she squandered away such a beautiful gift. Now I just am thankful to have actually been blessed to have experienced her music in real time.
roeg48 ...perfectly stated
roeg48 Most of all she didn't know how special she was...and God knew it and everyone else could see it.:)
Amen...
THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I STOPPED LISTENING TO MUSIC FOR ABOUT A MONTH , I COULDN'T TAKE IT FOR A MINUTE .
I love whitney just for who she was .Just imagine going through your own trials and tribulations and everybody around u steady want u to sing, do tours , this that and everything else in between. She just wanted to raise her child and live a simple life.
"My way or no way" a mother's love is eternal ❤ r.i.p. Whitney you gave us great joy over the years with your awesome music and voice God lent you to us and for that the world is grateful
I love Whitney. She had the best voice ever, an unbelievable talent.
My favorite Star Bangled Banner to this day! Glady's is 2nd. I remember Whitney's rendition was so great, it got rotation on the radio!
Whitney you and Kevin the generation will remember you both forever. Rip Whitney baby live you. Rocky India
I love Whitney Houston....she's Soo beautiful an beautiful voice......miss yr music Whitney......r.i.p. beautiful lady.......
OPRAH AIN'T SHIT SHE IS A VOLTURE.
It brought tears to my eyes because I used to be there . It is a hard thing to leave alone and I just really cried when I heard she passed I am a New Jersey girl .God Bless her mother.Because I think that she wanted her daughter back . I saw her speaking with Oprah and I really felt her Whitney's pain I just want to say that's really sad that she is not with us any longer. God Bless Her Mother!!!
Respect for your honesty and humility Whitney, your talk here captured on film will help many people who watch it. One day at a time... God bless you, through the mercy of God, may you rest in peace beautiful lady, blessed with the most incredible voice ❤
As a man who likes pop music. I appreciated Whitney's huge talent. Hers was and is a a singular gift and she set a bar that few have ever reached. Yes I was and still am infatuated with her. As a man I perceived a niave vulnerablilty in her that illicited in me the desire to protect and keep safe. I will always love your performance as a talented actress and singer in the Body Guard and I think that is where my crush on Whitney Houston developed. I both miss her and mourn her passing and pray that her relationship with God was intact and that she now resides with Him in Heaven.
I truly miss this amazing woman, in spite of everything....
I miss you so much Whitney my beautiful Queen
Whitney - an angelic voice for the ages created by God Almighty Himself! Rest In Peace, we miss you and love you for forever!
As an addict in recovery myself who finally ended up homeless because my parents tossed me out and did the right thing as I've been in recovery many years now I still get those days she talks about but I go through the craving and I know it will pass. Because it got bad enough for me to want to change not to say that it didn't for her but sometimes it gets you.
Thank you for sharing your testimony... I'll continue to lift you up in Jesus' Name 🙊😘
6:05 is when I knew things would not end well for her. The “yes ma’am” and chuckle came off insincere and then when she said she still drinks I knew that was a bad sign. No counselor or psychologist etc would condone a recovering alcoholic drinking, even just a sip here n there. Any recovering addict is told to stay away from those substances and especially those who do them. You’re told to stay completely sober. It takes years or even decades of sobriety to be able to handle a glass of wine without relapsing. The fact that she was still drinking at this point was telling. 😔
I saw this interview as a teenager in highschool and thought it was okay but now as a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Therapist I agree with you ! there’s a saying in recovery “one is too many , and two is never enough” which means she was not ready to handle that lifestyle especially she was still in recovery
Drugs aren't the thing that killed her But still drugs are bad ppl don't do it.. she was beaten and murdered
People loved her!!
RIP Whitney. May her melody sing on in our hearts forevor.
She was so ready to go. So much trauma, depression and hurt in her heart and soul. I’m glad she’s at rest.
She was beaten and murdered she fought hard I don't think she was ready to go and it's not up to anybody to say it is.. only GOD Jesus Christ
@whatsgoinontoday2371 yeah I think her death was suspicious and then Bobbi Christine died the same way!? Wtf???
A great gift, with many demons...she desperately needed true friends. Yes, I believe she was saved, our God did not abandon her. We, as the Church abandoned her in not praying, fasting and praying for her freedom from drugs. We all saw, watched and heard her cries....pray she is at peace in Jesus Name.
THANK U , I PRAYED FOR HER EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE SAY THEY LOVE YOU AND AS SOON AS THEY SEE YOUR WRONGS THEY DOWN U. IT'S NOT RIGHT. WE ALL WE GOT , I WILL ALWAYS LOVE GOD FOR EVERYONE IN MY LIFE RATHER THEY WRONG OR U RIGHT.
Thank u for saying god right truth we should not be so judgemental and pray for people more may god bless us as we serve him
Love Whitney Houston. Her music so uplifting and one of the few Singers out there who made me cry every time I heard her love songs. So sad about her life ended. Rest In Peace Whitney Houston
Fantastic interview by the great Oprah Winfrey .
Best host of all time .
that's harvey weinstein's friend and personal protector
I used to like oprah but there really is alot about her that is very shady but not reported in the press. She has talked alot about sexual predators over the years while remaining silent about Harvey Weinstein and continuing to be his friend while he sexually assaulted women. Shes also very good friends with david Geffen who is also so shady and very seedy and corrupt. I understand that you like her but she is a real hypocrite.
My heart breaks at this loss because she was so amazing and to think about how our community really put her through the ringer along with a hard childhood. So much potential even as she got older. Gosh I am gonna cry….I love her….
Wow what a beautiful testimony from Kevin Cost. I remember him talking about how hard it was to get Whitney in the lead role in Bodyguard Movie 🎥! The studio said that the world wasn’t ready for an inter racial relationship. They he should cast a white actress instead. It would be a major flop! Flash forward. The movie was successful and the Bodyguard sound track took the movie to new heights! He basically had those executives eating their words! I grew up in the church ⛪ and had MANY visits to the back of the church! So that my Mom could “help me get my mind right”! 😂 One time she forgot her belt! I was so happy that I started to leave. My like “Where are you going”? She then used her hardcover bible and lit me up! 😆
Oh God how much i like her. I hope she was still here with us. No one could sing like her. You can see the pain in her face. RIP Whitney.
Your missed, and loved
Wow Kevin 😩🤎🤎 I almost cried. I love when you can still laugh at a funeral while listening to the truth. She really was tired and drained when she did this interview.
I relate to this woman so much. Not that I'm an international superstar but as a person who struggling with my brokenness and loving God through it all.
I wish she had married Kevin Costner...
The Bodyguard is a movie.She decided to marry Bobby Brown because she loves me,sorry not please the Black community.She makes her own choice.Leave her alone.
Even if she had never met BB or married KC Whitney would've still died bc she was self destructive and an addict. She was doing drugs before BB. I hear it was a family member that got Whitney hooked on drugs. I'm a great fan of Whitney and hated what happened to her with the drugs. I pray she did find her way back to the Lord and is at peace with Him. She and Bobbi Christina.😘💝🎋💒
Did he ask her to?
He was already married! Get out of your movie fantasy!
Serena Ufton . married a white man that the answer . she came after body
There was no one like her, there is still No one like her, hope you are happy now Whitney, we love you still.
Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner to Powerhouse together
No matter who you are addiction is sad, rest in peace whitney! Sadly missed!
I like Whitney's sincerity
Whitney Houston was as beautiful as she was a super singer . Fantastic looks .
Whitney had immense pain and a turbulent life. Addiction is such a devastating disease because it wreaks havoc on every facet of your life. And its chronic. I think she forgot about that part, you have to constantly do the work and fight for your sobriety. She could never have conquered it while still having yes people, enablers and the same toxic environment which lead her down that path.
Best Singer Ever Always Will Be 🌹🌹🕯️🕯️🕯️
Drug addiction is too powerful for most to overcome. Beautiful Whitney was unable to win this battle. R.I.P.
AMEN! You have to pray temptation away.. and pray for strength, peace, love.. we should pray for everything.
He was the true guy for Whitney Houston. Pure love 😻😘
She had the voice of an 😇. It was a true gift from God! I too wish she could have overcome her demons... 😔 😭 What a traggic, premature loss her death was. Glad she knew her Lord and do believe she is in heaven.
My heart is broken
So sad that this all happened
It is so very sad to watch and see her determination knowing that we lost her. I begin to believe she made it and then reality comes back. A beautiful person with so much talent. Why did we not look after her better?
She has always mentioned her love for God in she always been humble the world wanted her to be what they wanted she just wanted to be herself in make good music I will always love her
So true. Anyone who knew her or was a fan of hers knew this. God was always first.
The spirit if God IS stronger 🖤 rest in paradise Whitney 🖤
Soo sad we lost her. My all time favourite!🎶🎙🎥
No more pain rest in peace Whitney Houston 🕊️
It is virtually impossible to reflect on her story, and not be moved by hearing her talk about her faith in Christ. 😭 I mean, how many artists today expose their faith like that? I'm not judging anyone, but it's missing sometimes is this industry....😣
I thank God for her life.🌹
I loved her so much in the Bodyguard.
Whitney is in heaven she trust God..
Kevin loved her, so deeply. If there is a new life, I hope she has someone like him to marry and that would cherish her. She is resting, and I hope at great peace
I wish Whitney had chosen the gospel genre, where she was most comfortable.
I. LOVED HER. VOICE. SHE. HAD. THE. VOICE. OF. AN. ANGEL. SHE. WAS. SO. GORGEOUS
Agree. She would've been alive today.
@@elisageorge2261 Not necessarily there are a lot of Gospel Artists that are on drugs and committing adultery and being addicts. Do not be deceived the devil can get a hold of you at any place.
Whitney wanted to be a mainstream global super star and that’s exactly what she got. Her being in gospel wouldn’t have made her life any better, she had already been using drugs even before her 18th birthday.
Her mother knew she had strayed from the Lord. It gave the enemy a foothold. It's important to understand if you are a Christian, you might sin but God will forgive you.
That gift would be overwhelmingly for anyone. Judy Garland comes to mind. Almost the same age. Elvis, Michael...
As Whitney Shares Her Words With Much Grace And Humbleness.
Poor baby ..Those Devils were following her...She was struggling 😢😢😢🙏🙏The lord love her deeply...God have her in a special place😢😢🙏🙏R.I.P WHITNEY 🙏
We're all in this battle " No one is different we don't get out of this without our own trial and Tribulation. But like Whitney we have god on are side ..I pray she's singing for the lord tonight..
Two of the world's greatest women .
Most people were rooting for you Whitney
I love this ❤️ I will always love you Whitney Houston
What a gift. Thank you Whitney.
I Will Always Love My Mama Whitney Houston . Always & Forever.
Damn I loved this woman
Her talent was undeniable!
Again,R.I.P dear lady"
By the time this interview rolled around, her voice, the gift that good Lord had given her, was shot. When G-d gives you that gift, you have to decide if you take care of it, cultivate it, revere it, and know that as soon as He gives it to you, he could take it away if you're not good to that gift...which is a reflection of the good Lord Himself. Too many terrible people around her. Temptation got the best of her.
It's spelled...GOD... not G-d... don't be afraid to say it
SHE BROUGHT ME TO GOD AND CHRIST WITH HER VOICE. SHE DID WHAT SHE SUPPOSE TO HAVE DONE HERE ON THIS EARTH AND AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE STILL GAVE HIM ALL THE GLORY. SHE LOVED THE LORD NO MATTER WHAT.
It just shows how the world with all its distractions of success, wealth and fame can make even the chosen ones lost but God has ways to bring them back where they really belong. God knows what He does despite human perception and judgement. Let what others think or say not distract you further. He has tailored individual plan for each of His own. To Him be the praise and gratitude for everyday travails no matter how they seem.
