      That's why people started spreading lies that she's related to Whitney or is Whitney's Mom which is so Disrespectul. Wki had the nerve to mention there was a Rumor, in Teresa Graves Bio. Cissy Houston & John Russell Houston Jr. are the Parents of both Whitney & her Brother. Cissy gave birth to Michael (1961), and Whitney (1963) during her marriage to John Russell Houston Jr.

I have been saying that for a while.but like I tell people, it goes back to slavery times. Saling off family members. Then, years later, you see someone who favors your late greatgrand mother.

      AND both of the songs Teresa is singing has a direct link to Whitney. The song, I'm Going to Make You Love Me, was first sung by DeeDee Warwick and of course, Respect, was sung by Aretha, indicating that Teresa was keeping a close eye on her daughter. I wonder how much they paid her to keep silent? Whitney was around 3 years old when the song DeeDee sang was released and she was 1 year old when Respect dropped. And Whitney was about 8 years old when Teresa performed this act.

      I saw a documentary that stated that Whitney's biological dad who had the child with Graves let a certain Enclave no quietly but that Cissy Houston raised her as her own and if you look at all of Whitney Houston's other siblings they look nothing like Whitney Houston the females in that family not only don't look like her but don't have body types like her or anything and this young lady really does fit the bill especially when you look at younger pictures of Whitney Houston spitting image saying speaking tone of voice and similar singing voice but Whitney just had that serious vocal training from Cissy Houston

      ​@@twistnloc3247I see where your questions alluding to Teresa Graves character Christie love or something of that nature and Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina but spelled different smart very much may be on something I think she knew also because Whitney was a person even before the fame she was very direct and driven so with that in mind I could see her demanding to know why am I not like you who am I and then back then children had a way of being quiet and hearing the adults and all the Whispers and then coming to conclusions for themselves baby I know because it happened something like that to me but it's very interesting that you've made that observation and distinction because where else would she have gotten Christina from with a k it is like a small ode to this person

    I can hear Whitney’s voice. It might be hard for some people to recognize because Whitney had the training of church and her mother’s powerful influence vocally so she had a much better control and power. But when Theresa belts out the high notes you can briefly hear the same quality Whitney had. Also Theresa’s style changes the sound and quality. Back then pop music was sung differently, more straight forward by someone like her.

    • @allysonjackson5610

      I agree. I can hear Whitney's voice by the way she says her words. Pop music was different back then. It's not just the voice, visually, Whitney looks like her. Whitney's physique matches hers. Lastly, I grew up a total Whitney fanatic. I mean no disrespect to Cissy Houston but I never thought she was Whitney's mother. I wasn't a conspiracy theorist child. I just didn't ever think Whitney was Cissy's child. I'm not into conspiracies. My eyes and ears see and hear Whitney when I look at Theresa's charisma, on-stage presence, looks, and voice. It's a wrap for me.
