Lifetime Announces Controversial Whitney Houston Biopic

The network known for made-for-TV movies announced Angela Bassett will helm a telefilm about the late singer's life. It's set for a 2015 premiere. I have never known Angela Basset to direct a movie. It is her first project. She is familiar with LifeTime, and I guess that is why she chose to do it for LifeTime. Angela does great work and has done some acting with Whitney Houston in the movie Waiting to Exale. She has done a great job acting as Tina Turner. So, I'm looking forward to seeing her project on Whitney. Angela sounds as if she wants to do a movie that we can enjoy and remember Whitney in a happy way.

Whitney Houston 1989 Sanyo Commercial

Whitney Houston 1989 Sanyo Commercial Singing, 'Taking a Chance'. To be honest, I do not remember seeing this commercial on television. Glad to see it now. I see something new to me that I have never seen by Whitney thanks to Quencie Thomas of Studio Q.

Quencie and Whitney

According to Studio Q, Quencie's most memorable celebrity encounter came a month before completing her Masters degree, from the University of Illinois. It was a dream-come-true interview with her favorite singer and childhood idol, Whitney Houston, on an MTV show called FANatic.

Whitney Houston Talks About Producing

From YouTube

Because of the questions from the man that interviewed Whitney, she made me laugh. Whitney knew how to answer questions. In this video, Whitney talks about producing.

It Takes A Special Person and Movie Maker for Whitney Houston's Life Story

It takes a special person and movie maker for Whitney Houston's Life Story. There are quite a few actresses that want to play Whitney, but they are not Whitney. They are no where near Whitney. When you look at them, you do not even see Whitney. I do not think a famous actress should play Whitney. I do not think just any movie maker should make the film if it happens. We need someone to play Whitney that truly knows struggles, trials, and tribulations. We need someone that desires love and knows the real deal in life. In other words, if that someone has had experience, that someone can act it out without being taught.

Tessanne Chin Sings I Have Nothing

Tessanne Chin sings I have Nothing by Whitney Houston powerfully. She does a great job using her very own voice. It's not Whitney's voice, but it's close enough. It's nice to have people that can keep the memories alive of Whitney.
