She’s brilliant! Such a natural performer! Her performance quality is so genuine and she really sells it to the audience. Can see where Whitney got it from
I agree I grew up watching" get Christy love " as well as a lot of the detective shows in the 1970s but never thought of a Teresa grave. B whitney houston's mom not in a million years if it's a possibility?
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.
...until she opens that mouth to sing. it's hilarious how ALL singers compared to Whitney are like I just have no words. Whitney has no comparison- BEST VOICE EVER. no one has, nor ever will as long humans exist will EVER come close to Whitney! ❤❤❤
I'm 62. I remember Teresa very well. When Whitney came on the scene and it was said that Sissy was her mother. I never believed that. I told all my friends there was no way that is her mother. Whitney always gave off Teresa vibes to me. If a DNA could be done I'd bet the house on Teresa and I'm not a gambling woman.
I am in agreement with you Whitney was Teresa's twin, and I never thought Sissy was her mother you could tell it was a disconnect. When I watched her biography everything about her was Whitney, the smile, her singing, gestures and movements.
This is DEFINITELY Whitney’s mom. And the Cissy connection never felt real. There was always a distance. Then about a year ago I found out Teresa Graves was her mom and it all made sense!
This woman is not talked about enough! She lite up the stage. I only thought she did acting with Christie Love until rumors about her and Whitney then I found out she was a singer as well. She is phenomenal. Heck she sound way better than Diana Ross. But the resemblance between her and Whit is very eerie.
Ok, hold your horses there now. Diana Ross is everything, but I get your point, though.😅😅😅😅 and Whitney, my girl and the resemblance, is definitely uncanny. 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. But people have told me it doesn't make sense. I say yeah, ok.
@@jennaejones5285 LOL. Thank you for your post! You are right. I really love Diana Ross as an actress and singer. Looking back now, I'm not sure why I added her name to the conversation. She is an icon. A legend. Peace.
@@inmythoughts718 no not to this level. its not just looks, its everything from mannerisms, movement speaking cadence, tone, wittiness, playfullness, dancing, physical frame ,its too much
There are lots of people that look like other people. Wendy Williams Show used to showcase then in her Celebrity Lookalike segment. Not to mention there are talent agencies that hire people that bear strong resemblance to people of note.
Ummm the looks the tone , mannerisms, the Witt, the sass even the slender body ! Everything they are mom and daughter for sure !! No question about it !
all of what u said including the funny dance moves on stage, when she was doing that walk on stage back and forth, im like oh dear, yeah, thats the DNA screaming loud at us, thats her mama, no denying it
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.
Who just came here and looked this up after seeing the interview on Facebook or IG this is definitely Whitney's. Mom is a shame that it was never refilled until now. She's beautiful and had a twin daughter.
@@VenusEvan_1885men are no different to back then as they are today. They've always chased after younger girls and it was rumored that Whitney Houston's father loved younger girls too. Which there is nothing consensual about that relationship. Teresa Graves was being managed by Mr houston. And then there's all the other evidence that you can look into that show that things don't add up especially Cissy Houston describing her pregnancy and birth.
@@VenusEvan_1885think it's a coincidence Whitney Houston nicknamed her daughter chrissy? You do know that Teresa Graves played in the TV show called get chrissy? Whitney Houston left us breadcrumbs. Also mighty funny Whitney Houston had a nervous breakdown the same year Teresa Graves died.
@@VenusEvan_1885 Aretha had her first son at 12. So it's not too far fetched for it to be possible. Plus in that era there were plenty of family secrets. Shoot before the 60's, there were dudes that had 2 separate families in different cities because wasn't the same tracking technology that there is now.
im very fascinated by this video, watched it many times and u cant help but smile because it reminds u of someone called Whitney Houston. this is the amazing vessel who gave us that and she was amazing during her own time being the 2nd black woman to lead a hit Tv show and she was multi talented actress, singer
Wow, she had a similar thin frame as Whitney. I hear the vocal similarities, but the mannerisms are scary alike. Even the bow at the end was Whitney. Even her speaking voice…..uncanny.
She looks like Whitney Houston. Can't dance and her outfit was not flattering. Her cover of Diana Ross resembled that of a Las Vegas act Or wedding band. She's beautiful but as a singer she wouldn't make it on American idol
Wow, I’m amazed. Poor Whitney probably never was tolded that Theresa Graves might have been her mom, their singing and movements are too comparable, RIP Theresa and Whitney .
I think you and the rest of these idiots are delusional. You all need to stop going down rabbit holes with no proof and if this was true how do you know she wasn’t told? All speculation and all y’all need a life!
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
Teresa you are a missed, underrated, GOD gifted, talented, gorgeous actress/singer!!!! Ms. Graves, we were teens, trying to find an identity, a place in society, watching you on screen, allowed us to see a part of what we could be!!!!!!! We survived corporate, managed families, a part of you, will always live on in us, Goodnight lady Graves!!!!!
This woman looks like Whitney, sounds like Whitney. Acts like Whitney. Who ever tried to cover up the fact that she is Whitney’s mother , did an excellent job. They cannot cover up genetics. The genetic similarities are overwhelming. Wow, I am in shock!!!!!!😮
lol. u already calling her that. I think there is something to that, something is off with the whole thing- they look and sound and behave too similar and her father, John was in the business so he possibly could have hooked up with teresa at some point
Now that Im paying attention, you can see and hear the similarities in voice and movements. And they look just alike. At first, I was skeptical and didn't give it any consideration. Now, wow,undeniable, that's her mom.
Pause at 0:19, thats scary like i just got the chills. The effortlessness in the singing with power while smiling is identical. This is sad, actually emotional watching this.
This is not Whitney’s mom , but this is one of the most beautiful women of her time and deserves a lot more credit for what she accomplished in the early 70s ..RIP Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
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.
Not just vocal quality...the pronunciations....The same way Me (guy) and my younger sister sound like our mother ( in pronunciations and cadence and tone). Especially if we record our voices it becomes very noticeable. Whitney sounds just like Teresa when they pronounce certain words.
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.
When the video began, all I could see was Whitney Houston in her video You give good love. The resemblance is amazing. I watched Ms. Graves on “Get Christie Love” as a child.
@@maewebster9377a “doppelganger” that happened to be managed by Whitney’s actual father? I call BS. That’s her biological mother. If she had no connection at all to the Houston family then I would have believed but how on earth do you give birth to a baby that looks (and acts and sounds) almost exactly like a little girl you managed (a little who also happened to have a baby at 14)?
The similarities are striking but you gotta be careful. I met someone in the same town who had a striking similarity to me so much so that I at times was confused for him!
Whitney has her voice looks and Teresa has the same .Rest in peace to both if them.Godbless them both and also Whitneys beautiful daughter bobby Christina .Hopefully they are all united together again 🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🌈🌈🌈🌟🌟🌟🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🕊🦋AMEN🙏
I’ve seen Whitney’s perceived parents and I just don’t see it, but if you put a clip of Mrs. Graves and Whitney beside each other the similarities are undeniable 😮👀😻👏🏾
@@GwendolynPorter-w6cthe fact that Teresa was 15 years old at the time of giving birth to Whitney I wouldn't exactly call that an affair she was a young girl and he had no business putting his hands on her.
at least I'll say the affair was only coming from his end not Teresa's she was a young girl and if Cissy Houston resented Whitney Houston throughout the years because of her knowing the truth about her not being her daughter that's on her. She made the conscious decision to raise her husband's child from a young girl.
Whitney must have seen the bow, it's very different, like a royal bow, very humble!She used it at the Grammys award, she must have known.God bless them all🙏🌹
Omg!!! That bow at the end of her performance!!! She was Whitney's mother, y'all!! Lord, have mercy!! I feel like I've been deprived of witnessing them connected. So sad...so sad.
I was a little girl when Get Christy Love came in the air. I was so proud of her. So many beautiful, poised, dignified Black/ADOS stars when I was growing up.
What you see is what you get just like she said it. This is Whitney's mother. I feel it in my spirit. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my mind. This is Whitney's mother. This is her mother. OMG.
I always admired the Late Teresa Graves😢her passing in the early 2000's, I hope I have the correct time in which this happened, was so saddening, she walked away from her T.V. show Get Christie Love from the 1970's due to Religious reasons and never returned to acting again, she was beautiful and probably could have gone on further, I guess she felt it just wasn't for her RIP Ms.Graves🙏.
Teresa was also an actress who starred in a mid '70's TV show called "Get Christie Love". From an Armed Forces Music Festival episode which featured both civilian and military talent. Other civilian stars featured included Jeannie C. Riley and Roy Clark.
The face, the body, the tone in the voice, the dancing , the mannerisms I never seen Cissy in Whitney and now I see why

That’s her momma. The 😢 “I’ll sacrifice for you….” Hits really hard😢
It was the bow for me. It's the same bow that Whitney did after all of her performances. She had to know.
Good observation 👍🏾
This is unbelievable that’s her mom no doubt
I didn’t know she could sing until now. She’s PHYNE!
everyone has a Doppelgänger
Doppelganger who was managed by WH's father. I know many people, but I don't anyone who has met theirs
@@maewebster9377a “doppelganger” that happened to be managed by Whitney’s actual father? I call BS. That’s her biological mother. If she had no connection at all to the Houston family then I would have believed but how on earth do you give birth to a baby that looks (and acts and sounds) almost exactly like a little girl you managed (a little who also happened to have a baby at 14)?
The similarities are striking but you gotta be careful. I met someone in the same town who had a striking similarity to me so much so that I at times was confused for him!
Happy Heavenly 77th Birthday Teresa Graves January 10 1948 - October 10 2002
She’s was so beautiful!! 🥰
Same body, moves, everything!

She made each song her own...
I faithfully watched Christy Love
This song from Teresa Graves is DYNAMITE!
She even dance like Whitney!!
right - with those arms moving around. Whitney danced the same way in My Name is not Susan
EXACTLY! Body shape, height, teeth, bone structure, voice, and how she curtsey at the end as well...ALL WHITNEY!
No Whitney dance like her.
yeah exactly, lol. that crazy dance whitney does on stage, this is straight up DNA
Ok now yall just saying sh*t lol
SHE'S A BREATHTAKINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGLY BEAUTIFUL QUEEN!!!!! AMAZING ARTIST!!! PERFECTION!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I did not know Teresa used to sing.
That's pretty cool.
I think I’m obsessed with this video I love watching it she reminds me of a close friend
I thought Whitney was gorgeous but then I saw Teresa, one of the most beautiful women of any decade and of any race….RIP Sugar ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve seen Whitney’s perceived parents and I just don’t see it, but if you put a clip of Mrs. Graves and Whitney beside each other the similarities are undeniable 😮👀😻👏🏾
Whitney's father had an affair with Teresa Graves years ago! He brought Whitney as baby to Cissy to raise!
@@GwendolynPorter-w6cthe fact that Teresa was 15 years old at the time of giving birth to Whitney I wouldn't exactly call that an affair she was a young girl and he had no business putting his hands on her.
at least I'll say the affair was only coming from his end not Teresa's she was a young girl and if Cissy Houston resented Whitney Houston throughout the years because of her knowing the truth about her not being her daughter that's on her. She made the conscious decision to raise her husband's child from a young girl.
I miss her so much!!! “You unda arrest shuga” she should’ve been a Superstar
Wow ❤
Hands down what a performance! 😍
Some people have it...and she's got it! Bravo!♥
She’s so beautiful 🥹🫶🏾
She was beautiful....🤎
Teresa was a Badazz. That dip @ 2:39! Love her style!
Shes a knockout! A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice!
loved that show...Get Christy Love!...
Teresa Graves is killin!!!!!!😎😎😎
She even moves like Whitney! That cute little jig that Whitney does (particularly in her 86 - 91 era)
That bow at the end of performance is so much like Whitneys.
Omg so true 😭
I hope Whitney Houston knew who her real mother was before she died
Whitney must have seen the bow, it's very different, like a royal bow, very humble!She used it at the Grammys award, she must have known.God bless them all🙏🌹
Rest in peace, Teresa.
Omg! At the end when she said “what you see, is what you get” that was Whitney!!!!
They have the same cadence in their voices.
Teresa Definitely was so Gorgeous Whitney Houston Definitely favorites her so much & she can sang too
Omg!!! That bow at the end of her performance!!! She was Whitney's mother, y'all!! Lord, have mercy!! I feel like I've been deprived of witnessing them connected. So sad...so sad.
So dumb..so dumb. This is NOT Whitney's mother.
She was just naturally beautiful! Watch her in Get Christie Love....classic!
She did the bow that every one keeps posting of Whitney!
I was a little girl when Get Christy Love came in the air. I was so proud of her. So many beautiful, poised, dignified Black/ADOS stars when I was growing up.
What you see is what you get just like she said it. This is Whitney's mother. I feel it in my spirit. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my mind. This is Whitney's mother. This is her mother. OMG.
Omg she’s perfect!!!
OMG! They even sing alike.
She looks AMAZING! Talk about snatched 👏🏾
I always admired the Late Teresa Graves😢her passing in the early 2000's, I hope I have the correct time in which this happened, was so saddening, she walked away from her T.V. show Get Christie Love from the 1970's due to Religious reasons and never returned to acting again, she was beautiful and probably could have gone on further, I guess she felt it just wasn't for her RIP Ms.Graves🙏.
Exactly she found a higher purpose but ur right, she had all the talent in the world and the beauty to match .. RIP miss you
I wish I had Teresa graves and Whitney Huston beauty we miss you dear girls rip
Teresa was also an actress who starred in a mid '70's TV show called "Get Christie Love". From an Armed Forces Music Festival episode which featured both civilian and military talent. Other civilian stars featured included Jeannie C. Riley and Roy Clark.
I sort of remember her on Laugh-In as a dancer (along with Goldie Hawn). Never knew her as a singer.
@@MostlyBrenda I knew I had heard of her from something else, but I couldn't remember what. I think it was Laugh-In!
Get Christy Love.. yep.. great singer, actress.
Wow. . .wow she look and sound and move like her?! Daaanng!!!!
She's very pretty!
I’ve always loved Teresa Graves as a little girl my mom would watch Get Christie Love❤ what a talent !! RIP Teresa and Whitney 😢
Close your eyes and listen ❤
I did. Whitney! Whitney! Whitney!
Rest in peace Theresa you were a pioneering ground breaker, and you are missed
