    I absolutely LOVE Robyn even more than I did before. All these people talking about she was money hungry pls keep it pushing! She waited 7yrs to talk and she defended Whitney legacy and brought truth to the light!

    I made time and listened to the audiobook - A SONG FOR YOU. Woow Robyn, thanks for finally telling you and Whitney's truth. It was worth spending 10 hours 24 minutes and 55 seconds listening. Her voice is so captivating and I could feel the connection, care, love, respect, dedication and protection she had for Whitney. So detailed and well captured and written. Well done Robyn. Each and everyone of us need a Robyn Crawford kind of friend in our life.

      Yes, but I also think she must have been happy a lot of times as well. Whitney was magical when she performed, and I don’t think that’s something that can be faked in the way she did it. I wish I could have seen her live in person at least once, which I was able to do with the two other artists who I feel had and has a similar love for music and it shows when they perform.
      What I find the most heartbreaking though is that her daughter Bobbi Kristina, her legacy to the world, beside the amazing songs she left us with, died at only 22 under similar circumstences as Whitney. If I was part of the Houston family or Bobby Brown I would feel tremendous guilt contributing to both their unnecessary early deaths.

    Every single word in this book is filled with true and genuine emotion and I loved every single second of it. Plus, Robyn’s smooth and soft voice narrating is the cherry on top of the cake.
    I HIGHLY recommend this for everyone to read or listen to whether you’re a Whitney fan or not. ❤️

    So, am l the only one who has for a long while, believed that Bobby Brown was a victim ? So many lies and distortions by Whitney's family. Finally, the truth emerges. How refreshing.

Bobby loved Whitney and Whitney loved Bobby but their marriage was toxic and dysfunctional Robyn brought balance to her friends marriage by keeping her in order ( Whitney's word ) throughout Whitney's and Robyn's friendship they developed a loving bond and everything else is history

      You are not alone. We ALL have our flaws and demons. Sometimes those biggest are the people with whom we have the most love for ESPECIALLY when outside influence (multiply Whitney, Robyn & Bobby's by literally the world population)!! It's beautiful to see both Robyn & Bobby happy and most of all healthy all these years later. Sadly Whitney as strong willed as she was could not be "loved enough" by herself 1st as much as she was by the 2 of them and serum to being her own worst addictions.
      As a addict in recovery 10+ years I mourn all my brothers and sisters who weren't yet able to break that chain before it robbed her, Bobbi Kris and all who she touched. She will be missed forever.

      @EDEN ETIENNE Whitney was bi if anything. Whitney loved men and had many relationships. She just couldn't fully explore her attraction to women because of her church upbringing and not being accepted. Whitney ended her physical relationship with Robyn before she was famous because she knew that what she and Robyn shared wouldn't be good if ppl knew especially back then when being gay was considered taboo. Bobby was initially the side dude. Whitney was still messing with Eddie Murphy at the time. That's hilarious because Janet Jackson kept him on the side and chose her then-but-not-yet-second husband Rene Elizondo over him. No wonder he was on drugs. He was always came in second place 😂😂

    Nie wiadomo co by było gdyby.... Czytałam te książkę i wydaje mi się najbardziej wiarygodna w porównaniu z i innymi. Jestem też przekonana że Robyn była jej przyjaciółka a rodzina traktowała Whitney jak bankomat. Życie nikogo nie jest idealne jedni radzą sobie z bólem lepiej inni nie, każdy ma prawo odreagować na swój sposób. Jej życie prywatne dalekie od idylli z Bobi Brownem uplywalo wśród awantur i przemocy ale myślę że będziemy pamietac nie tragedię ale niesamowity głos Whitney. Whitney Elizabeth Houston była zjawiskiem, jedna z największych wokalistek w historii muzyki, obdarzona fenomenalnym, potężnym i przeszywającym uszy głosem. ❤❤❤

    No matter who writes about Whitney Houston..she was and will always be a child of the living God. She truly loved God and was a representation of a Kingdom builder. She was filled with the holy spirit and I know she understands the word of God. Be ye therefore holy and present your bodies a living sacrifice. Jesus is soon to return for his church. People don't get distracted by things on this earth because it will surely corrupt..but store up treasures in heaven. No man no the time nor the hour when the Son of Man shall part the skies. Saint get your house in order. We all shall have to give an account to what we have done on this earth. Be ye ready! I pray for the souls of Gods people we shall not die of ignorance but shall have everlasting life! Amen

    Ho letto il libro. L'ho trovato molto interessante e scritto con il cuore, lo ricomprerei e lo rileggerò. Non credo sinceramente che tu potessi fare tanto di più e di meglio per aiutarla. Ti segnalo però un errore "storico" in quanto l'episodio avvenuto a Capri non fu in occasione del viaggio di nozze subito dopo il matrimonio, ma risale al luglio 1997, su google trovi ancora la notizia come era stata data dai giornali italiani. Pare che Whitney avesse raccontato ai medici di essersi ferita sugli scogli, mentre un membro dell'equipaggio sosteneva che l'incidente fosse avvenuto a bordo dello yacht.

So, we just have people's perception of how things were and how she felted about them. Why are they speaking now since her side is silent and will be silent forever. The bottom line is everyone is profiting from her death. So sad😢.
