Whitney Houston Dateline 1996

From YouTube

There was an interview of Whitney Houston on Dateline back in 1996. It was the kind of interview where you got to hear Whitney's side instead of the media. She talks about the gay rumors and her marriage to Bobby. You get a chance to see her mom talk about Whitney and you get to see Whitney as a mother as well. You also get a chance to see Whitney's praying and singing mom in the church. When I see the interview, I see that Whitney's role model was her mom. It appears that Whitney had a very good role model. She was raised to know God and how to live. Moms like that can't control everything while raising a child. Although they can make mistakes raising their children, they are about as perfect as they come. I had the same kind of mother. I know that mistakes in life can still be made because Whitney had to learn some things on her own. I know because I'm learning on my own without my mom. Children make their own mistakes too. However, I think Miss Cissy Houston did a great job, and I think that Whitney did fine considering life is hard. It is not always easy.

Whitney Brings Laughter to Theater (Sparkle)

From YouTube

I haven't seen the movie, Sparkle, yet. However, I know it's a great movie and intend to buy it on DVD. Today, I was just browsing the internet and saw this movie clip of Sparkle. It is when Whitney sees the girls on television and the audience in the theater finds it funny.

There are different stories being told about the people that went to see Sparkle. I've heard all kinds of stuff from the public to the radio. However, people that I know that went to see it said that it was a very good movie and that everyone should go see it.

Whitney Houston - Saving All My Love For You

From YouTube

When I first saw Whitney Houston's music videos, I knew she was an actress before she became one. I remember when I first saw her video, "Saving All My Love for You".  I thought, "Wow. The girl can act." As the video rolled along, I thought, "I don't know a man in this world that would try to resist Whitney." In the video, Whitney pretends to spend a lot of time in the studio with a married man. She seems to like the man and singing that she was saving her love for him. I looked at it as just entertainment, but Whitney was singing and acting it out so well. I thought, "I wonder did she actually have that experience in real life?"

From YouTube

My mother sat with me and watched the video. She said, "That guy in that video look just like Jermaine Jackson." I had to rewind the tape and take a second look at the video. If my mother had never said that to me, I never would have recognized the fact that he did. Then we remembered that Whitney did sing with Jermaine. As the video continued to play my mother said, "Gail, never get involved with a married man. You'll never have him. He'll be running back and forth between you and his wife. Never get a guy with a ready made family. He'll be paying child support. You don't want that." My mother talked with me through the whole video.

The thing that sticks in my head most about the video is the man's wife. She was looking at Whitney like she wanted to say, "Yea, I see you, and he's my man." In the video, Whitney was looking nervous. Whitney had me laughing. When I saw that lady looking down at Whitney, I thought, "Huh oh! That woman ain't stupid." The lady that played as the man's wife was also a great actress. I can't forget the look in her eyes.

At the end of the video, Whitney was walking alone. I sat wondering if Whitney really did have an affair with Jermaine Jackson. My mother always thought that Jermaine and Whitney liked each other. I didn't doubt it. My mother would say, "You can raise children, talk to them, and tell them, but that doesn't mean that children are always going to do what you say." Whitney's mom sounds a lot like my mom. Moms know their children. My mom would say, "I carried you for nine months, and I know about what you will do and what you want do." I use to tell my mother that Whitney was a good girl, and with the kind of mother that she had, she wasn't going to mess up too bad. My mom would say, "Yea, but Whitney ain't perfect. That's why her mom talks about her like she does. She had to whip Whitney's behind, like I had to whip yours. I need to whip it sometimes now."

To make a long story short, when I see Whitney, I see me. When I see her mother, I see my mother. I miss my mother, and I miss watching Whitney with hers. When Whitney died, it hurt because she felt like a part of my family. As I watch the video, "Saving All My Love for You", I can hear my mother spiritually saying, "Don't you forget Whitney."

Whitney Houston's B-Day Party of 1989

From YouTube

From YouTube

It was 1989 that Whitney had a big party on her birthday. I do not remember it at all. I never saw it pronounced on The Insider.  Well somebody did see it (deminoravideos), and it was nice that the video is shared on YouTube.

Bobby Brown was invited to Whitney's party.   No matter what kind of person Bobby was, Whitney recognized him. They were friends and seemed happier in those days. Whitney chose others as her friends like El Debarge, Isaiah Thomas, and Ashford and Simpson. These are good folks. People want to know why Whitney chose Bobby in her life. Well, at first, maybe she made a difference in his life by choosing him as a friend. As a friend, maybe Bobby made a difference in Whitney's life. It looks like he spent time with her. That's the kind of man Whitney looked like she needed. Maybe that's why Whitney married Bobby. Maybe their lives became complicated as entertainers when they got married.

My mother use to warn me about things that could happen in a marriage. She told me that there was sometimes competition in marriages and envy. I think the things that might have happened in Whitney and Bobby's marriage was normal like any other marriage.  You can be the greatest entertainer, but being a human being will never go away. There will still be ups and downs, disagreements, break-ups, and make-ups. That's just a part of life.  However, love should keep people together, but marriage is not for everyone.

Looking back at Whitney's party is a good memory. It was something new for me to see because it was my first time seeing it today.

Whitney Would Seek Those That Could Shoop

From YOUTUBE

Whitney Houston's concerts are fun to watch. If you were at a Whitney Houston concert in the past, you know that she would seek those that could Shoop. When this song was first released, I never saw her in concerts performing Shoop. I wish now that I had seen them. Whitney's concerts help to make her songs hits I do believe. I did not like Shoop when I heard the song, but her concert gave it a great illustration. It added more meaning to the song for me seeing Whitney reaching out to people and sharing her talent singing this song. It looked like promotion then and now more so than ever. Watching Whitney perform is like she really isn't gone from us. When we watch Whitney and her sense of humor, we can smile remembering her. Whitney made the Shoop song a great song with her love for people. I just didn't know Whitney the way I know her now. I appreciate her more with better understanding. Now when I hear the Shoop song, I hear it differently.

In the Audience, people loved Whitney. Some of them would go up on stage just to get a hug from her. One girl was so excited that she did not care to sing the Shoop song. She just adored Whitney.
If she could come back, the world wouldn't be the same. I mean in a good way. We need to see such miracle.

When You're High in Fame, They Say You're Gay

Have you noticed that every singer in Hollywood that is high in fame is considered gay. Come on! Everybody can't be gay. I never heard that Michael Jackson was gay until he started making millions with his Thriller album. He had been singing since childhood. People might have said that he was gay before his thriller album, but the rumor was heard strong when he hit big on his thriller album. Some thing's not right. I had to think about the time when Stephanie Mills and Michael were dating. It looked as if Michael loved women and especially Diana Ross.  Then they tried to say Michael was prejudice. If he was, he did not start out prejudice.

I'll never forget the time when I heard the rumor that Donna Summer was a man. This was long before the Internet came around. I thought, "No, not Donna Summer. She doesn't sing like a man. Sounds like she's loving men to death in the way that she is singing her songs. Looks like she was born a woman to me. It's all in her attitude, actions, and ways." Somebody said to me, "Yea, but they never show pictures of her in her teens or childhood." Well today, I learned more about Donna Summer. I learned that she was married and had two beautiful daughters.

Oh, and I can't forget Whitney Houston. When Whitney wasn't as big as she is today, nobody said nothing about her being gay. Then after she made big money, everybody started saying that she was gay. It was all in the tabloids. I remember the first time it was printed. Believe it or not, there are some people that do not remember the gay rumors of Whitney Houston. That is because a lot of people did not care. They loved her music and thought she was beautiful. They remembered the rumors of her and Jermaine Jackson more than the gay rumor. They remember all of the guys she dated like Eddie Murphy. Whitney was a good church going girl. I suppose nobody likes that in the entertainment world. You have to be bad and follow the crowd. Well, Whitney had her faults and made mistakes. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't give a rip about those mistakes. The only thing that I wish she hadn't gotten involved in was the drugs. She probably was so weak and down and out that she just didn't care. I have felt like that every blue moon in my life, but God gives me the strength to keep going and teaches me that I should not give up.

People, do not let anything or anyone control you and take over your life. Stay away from bad things and people that do not solve the problems in your life. That means religion, family, alcohol, drugs, and whatever it may be. The answer is in God, and remember, when you are high in fame, no one is greater than God. 

Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
