BeBe Winans Interview

This is a video on BeBe Winans and his thoughts of Whitney Houston. When I read his book, I read some funny things about how Whitney could be mischievous. I don't remember anybody in my life that has not been mischievous. Some people are more mischievous than others, but I think we all have been some time in our lives. We look back at the times when we were young and say, those were the good old days. Those were the days when we were young and did not have a conscious. Now we are older, much wiser, and we are more afraid about doing some things.

BeBe said in his book that Whitney was not a good driver. He said that Whitney could not cook. I believe she could have been a good cook, but her life was just busy in that entertainment world. Singing was her heart. Maybe she did not have the heart for cooking and never took the time to really learn. Maybe no one ever took time and pain with her to help her to be a better driver. I can understand. Some things we can learn on our own by practicing everyday. Sometimes we can learn just being around other folks and watching what they do. It's good to know about Whitney Houston as a human being.

I'm glad BeBe shared the Whitney he Knew with us in his book. I enjoyed his funny stories about her. The Whitney he calls crazy would have been fun for me. She would have made me laugh.

1-800 Media Lies and Help

A Comic Tale about the media lying on Whitney Houston
Copyright © 2012 by Gail Nobles

　

Whitney Houston was outside looking at her neighbor next door one day in Beverly Hills, California. Her neighbor lived in the neighborhood long before she did and never spoke to Whitney.

Whitney: What have I done to make my neighbor dislike me? Whenever I wave my hand, she looks as if she doesn’t see me, and I know she see me. She looks right at me.

(Whitney decided to make her neighbor speak). Hey! Mrs. Newby! I said Hey, Mrs. Newby! How are you doing! (Whitney was waving her hands in the air getting her neighbor’s attention).

Mrs. Newby didn’t like to be embarrassed, and she did not want the world to think bad of her for not speaking. She saw camera men snapping pictures of her and Whitney, but Whitney did not see. Mrs. Newby waved her hand at Whitney and quickly went inside, and she shut her door.

Whitney turned and saw camera men from a long distance snapping pictures. Whitney went inside her house thinking about her hidden camera outdoors.

Whitney: Humph! I take pictures too.

The next day, Whitney walked into a grocery store and saw news that they had written about her in a newspaper called Star Struck. She was on the front cover. The paper had said that Whitney was avoiding her neighbors and causing trouble in her neighborhood.

Whitney: Alright! I have had enough! (Whitney sued Star Struck newspaper, and all of the magazines and newspapers that wrote the same story after that newspaper. She won the case and had proof from her hidden camera that Star Struck had written a lie about her and her neighbor. The Star Struck tabloid of Whitney and her video was used in a television commercial for lawyers.

It took a while, but Mrs. Newby had seen the television commercial how the media had lied on Whitney. She saw herself on Whitney’s video tape. Mrs. Newby gave Whitney a call after the case was over.

Mrs. Newby: I never spoke to you and treated you like a neighbor. I thought you were trouble because of the media lies. They led me to believe false things about you, and it stopped me from treating you like a neighbor. Forgive me.

Whitney: I forgive you. Thanks for helping me sue.

Mrs. Newby: Thanks for sharing the cash.

Television in Mrs. Newby‘s house: If you are a celebrity being lied on by the media or a common person that has been framed, just call 1-800 media lies and help…..

Whitney Houston gained more respect as a celebrity, and she made more celebrity friends. Fans began to notice Whitney even more. They had 1-800 media lies and help bumper stickers and T-shirts with Whitney’s face as the logo. Whitney was famous again because of her commercial for lawyers. Everybody was calling the 1-800 number.

Whitney Houston - Art Expressing Her Song

Whitney Houston sung a song titled, "I Have Nothing". It's the words, I have nothing, that made me listen to her song. When she sings the words, if I don't have you, it makes me think about how sad life is when we loose someone close to us.

The music world is sad without Whitney Houston. I don't care about the music. To have her here would be enough for me. If Whitney could be here and be happy, that would make me happy again. Tonight I think of her in my art and spare time.

Whitney and Bobbi at Prince Concert

From TMZ

Parents grow old. Let them be young with you while they can. Bobbi and Whitney had a great happy moment together at Prince concert. You can tell that Whitney was not just a mom, but a sister and best friend for her daughter. Their mother and daughter relationship looked very familiar to me. Bobbi and Whitney were having fun. That is how it should be between mother and daughter.

I think about what the Bible said: (Luke 12:53) The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

I'm glad Whitney and Bobbi had happy moments together and spent time together while they could. It makes me think of the relationship I use to have with my mother. I'm glad that the scripture above did not happen in our lives. Yes, there were times when I got a little upset with my mom, and she got upset with me. That is a part of life, but we were never against each other. It doesn't look like Whitney and Bobbi were against each other. It looks like Whitney tried to leave Bobbi with happy memories.

Candace Singing With Whitney Houston

From YouTube

To me, Candace has a great voice. She was so excited about Whitney Houston that she was sometimes off key. Candace was not concentrating on her singing looking up to Whitney so much. Whitney knew Candace could sing and was so into her singing. When Candace would stop to talk, Whitney would hold her head wishing that Candace would sing. Candace was an excited fan with a big voice. Whitney had a lot of heart for her fans. Candace might would have had a chance to be a singer, but she was just too excited. She saw and heard Whitney and was overlooking herself. Whitney was trying to give Candace a chance because Whitney knew her fans had something too. Whitney made room for others.
