Just watched the movie "The Bodyguard"...she seemed so normal. What a waste of talent.

@monsterpolo You can't be a black woman or else you would understand....Bobby and all the pressure that goes along with loving a black man as a successful black woman WAS her drug. It's bordering on masochism.
monsteripolo Says:
Whitney herself said "nobody can make me do anything I dont wanna do" when asked about the drug topic" She was not a stupid sheep. She was a victim of her own addiction.
AlanMolstad Says:
Husbands should lead,,,,,,he did lead her, and she followed where he went. The result of this is that he led her to her grave.... all the error is his....she was screwed up to the point she could not find her way out.
monsteripolo Says:
No. Nobody put a gun to Whitneys head and forced her to take drugs.
may maggie Says:
Thank you so much for your honesty in this video. It means even more coming from a black man. Black women do have alot of hangups and i'm saying this as a black woman. It's high time we wake up and stop worrying so much what other people think of us...

Well-deserved "I mean really? Really? " :) That said, on my departure for the other world in the future, I wish I will have known a trust-worthy person to give me a beautiful eulogy like Kevin Costner did.

BCUZ HE KNEW HER!...DO U?

I´m basically pretty fond of black music. I´ll give you an example. Marcus Miller, a great musician strongly rooted in Jazz and "Groove". Well, he really can play anything and at the same time, he never loses his black music roots at playing, the kind of "black touch", which is terrific!!. That´s my point relative to maintaining "the blackness".
Bicodina Says:
Whitney loved to be called "ghetto"... WoW It makes now a lot of sense when you watch her in interviews... the way she talks, her gestures, speak volumes. I think that "blackness" is pretty cool regarding music. I mean, she sang a country ballad song giving her "gospel-soul" little touch as turning out soooo beautiful.
lighteyes214 Says:
Interesting commentary...I think you hit it on the head when you said that she may have felt she needed to be with a certain type of black person in order to maintain her "blackness." I recall reading in one of the tribute mags that Whitney loved to be called "ghetto" & that for her that was like a private joy she could have away from the public. That shocked me but after learning so much about her I understand it.She had trouble being in the spotlight & I think that compounded things.
Bicodina Says:
Congratulations on your analysis,I honestly think that it kind of hits the nail on the head about certain decisions that she would made during her lifetime. Greetings.
AlanMolstad Says:
The fault is her husband's...we all know this... But it's just too late to even blame him or be mad at his lack of leadership....its too late.....

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." Ben Franklin Now, all the blacks and whites can figure out what to do. Let us just honor our sister, and go forward! Kevin was her friend. Forget about all that "hanging tree" stuff! You all know damn well that was not what he was talking about. He was eulogizing a precious person in his life. Whitney was not a saint... but, I dare ANYONE to call her a sinner! (Cast the first stone and see what happens.) I loved her voice!

I LOVVVVEE the BodyGuard!
zennie62 Says:
BECAUSE KEVIN COSTNER WORKED WITH HER. I mean really? Really?
xxdonaldqxxx Says:
People like the guy in this video make laugh.How the hell does he know what Whitney Houston was really like?
smedheat Says:
great speech about a not-so-great movie. i remember seeing "The Bodyguard" on tv years ago. now it's back on tv again! my honest opinion is that it is "so-bad-that-it's-funny". this film did NOT give anyone permission to date anyone else. great soundtrack though.
MrRick383 Says:
hello Zennie I like your comment and your way of thinking. great job my friend.
ezekielthemack Says:
Zennie, I saw this on the BBC website (I'm from the UK - Jamaican parentage), and Kevin Costner's speech was excellent and very genuine.
abilify10mg Says:
my mother spent 4 hours watching whitney on sky.wow....she watches plane crash reinactments in the afternoon,dogs from malibu being trained by a mexican,"we are in the midst of the action....over there we see the government troops ,the rebels have been demonstrating ,plenty of (BOOOOM)........" i am afraid that i've lost my marbles....no its not on youtube
butterflybloom1 Says:
I liked it too. My cousin call to say how he loved his eulogy. I am glad he was there for Whitney.
pflugi65 Says:
... in fact it seems you didn't understand the context... When Kevin asked her , it was Whitney who said: "I just wanted to look my best (she changed to her own make up which melted in the hot studio lamps). It is a tree we can all hang from,the unexplainable burden that comes with fame, call it doubt, call it fear"... SHE said it, because she was always thinking and asked herself: Am I good enough ?
pflugi65 Says:
he was repeating what Whitney told him after the first 4 minutes of audition for her role of Rachel in the movie...she meant "the tree of doubt".
