Scheduled for a 2015 world premiere, Whitney Houston chronicles the headline-making relationship between the iconic singer, actress, producer and model, and singer, songwriter Bobby Brown from the time they first met at the very height of. But, I had hope that this would be a good one because Angela Bassett was directing, and Yaya Dacosta as Whitney in pics was semi-convincing (plus I’ve loved her since ANTM).Golden Globe Award winner and Academy Award nominee Angela Bassett will make her directorial debut with the Lifetime Original Movie Whitney Houston.

And then eventually, years down the line, after he tried to get her to quit, Bobby joined her in the habit.Torent dungeon siege 2 patch 2.2 crack. According to Whitney, the first time Bobby was alone with her, she did lines of cocaine. It was interesting that they focused very heavily on her drug use. It was about her relationship with Bobby, from the time they met to when they separated. * It shouldn’t have been called “Whitney.” It should have been “See what happened with Whitney and Bobby was…” The film was named incorrectly, because it wasn’t about Whitney.

This film definitely made Bobby Brown look good. But if you’re going to call a movie “Whitney” then maybe focus on the bigger picture of her life, as opposed to how she and Bobby couldn’t get their shit together and did lines of coke.* Maybe it should have been called “It’s not Bobby’s fault.” Every story has 3 sides: both the parties’ and the real truth. By Chris Harnick 8:18 PM Tags.Yes, Whitney died of an overdose in 2012, and we know she wasn’t an angel (remember the show Being Bobby Brown on Bravo). Whitney Houston Lifetime Movie in the Works With Director Angela Bassett Oscar nominee will direct a TV movie about the late singer and actress. 1 Whitney received mixed reviews from critics, with praise going to DaCostas performance as Houston and Bassett.

I wouldn’t say Yaya was bad as Whitney but I didn’t get Nippy fever from her unless she was pissed and talking really fast. I get it. Bobby did not take a perfect princess and turn her bad but Whitney also didn’t turn him all the way out.* Yaya Dacosta was an OK Whitney. And that is crazy because Bobby got in all types of trouble by himself and was certainly not some dude who just caught up. It made for good dramatic scenes but Bobby came out looking almost saintly next to Whitney in this film. Even his cheating with other women was just slid in to get to the greater point of seeing Whitney flip out.

She was the singing voice of Whitney and she sang her damb FACE OFF. She worked with what she had, though.* The star of the film was Deborah Cox. And when they did the montage of her singing “I’m Every Woman.” Otherwise, I just kept seeing Yaya Dacosta in bad wigs, not Whitney Houston.

Speaking of Robin…* They shaded Robyn throughout the movie. COME ON, DRAMA! They even had the person playing Robyn Crawford, Whitney’s BFF in a purple suit similar to the one she had on in the actual wedding. I bet they had a ball with that because between Mama Cissy’s purple ensemble and giant headpiece to Whitney’s dramatic veil-hat, I got what I NEEDED.

At all.I definitely get why her family was against this movie and I understand why they’re angry at Angela Bassett for taking this on, because it does Whitney NO favors. Pat Houston said they weren’t even consulted on the film, and then when you see this final product, it’s clear that they family would hate it.I am actually not sure of what the film was trying to say because the only thing I got from it was “Whitney was a talented drug addict who was in a dysfunctional relationship with Bobby.” If that’s the point, then kudos. It’s like “well, we have to include Robyn but we don’t know how to do it sooo let’s throw her in like some Captain Ride-or-Die but make her kinda butch too so people kinda maybe get the point.” It was lazy.The Whitney movie was not BAD because if I ask myself the question “did I want to slide off my chair halfway through?” the answer is “NO.” However, it also wasn’t good. So this film threw in this character as a high-top wearing, masculine woman who was always besides Whitney rolling her eyes and throwing silent shade.The lack of explanation for her was actually distracting. But through the years, it was rumored that she was actually her ex-girlfriend before Bobby even came up on the scene.

He alone is not the reason for her downfall. While Bobby did come off looking kinda saintly, I thought the movie showed us what in the know folks have been saying all along–Whitney had been doing cocaine before she met Bobby. It matters not that Lifetime tackled the project first. To try to tell Whitney’s life story on a Lifetime budget would have been impossible. Also, what should this film really be called?I knew going in that the movie was focusing on five of the Bobby years.

Whitney & Bobby relationship: lust, love: Who doesn’t want that? (Certainly, we can do without the infidelity. Her stage the height of popularity NOBODY compared to her. Looking at it, Whitney seems to have a bit of an addictive/perfectionist personality: work, drugs her man.

I wouldn’t say that Bobby’s image was displayed as that of a saint, but that we just cannot fully believe that Whitney was not the America’s girl pop singer type image that that creepy Clive Davis presented to us. I say kudos to Angela Bassett, YaYa DeCosta, & of course Deborah Cox.Good commentary and comments all around. There is nothing that says her story (cradle to grave) can’t be told on the big screen however, I think it is still too soon for that.

Wow and WHY?As far as the movie, Yaya worked with what she was given like it has been said and she made Whitney look healthy with more rhythm. In the post-movie interview Bobby said the show was supposed to be about him but Whitney kept showing up. Caught me totally by surprise. I didn’t know Whitney was like she was until I saw Being Bobby Brown.

It could have been MUCH MUCH worse.Angela worked with what she had but a bigger budget was definitely needed.Like someone said before, there’s room and opportunity for a major, big screen, big budget biopic in the future.Which makes me wonder: what’s the best bio pic out that’s been done? Ever?That movie was terrible, and Angela Bassett really did her friend no favors with this half azzed biopic. They want a movie THEIR way, which is their prerogative (no pun intended!) but they shouldn’t be so offended at this movie’s outcome. On the other hand, the family (not Bobbi Christina) has exploited Whitney’s image/legacy from the time she was laid to rest. When that family member’s image is not shown in the most favorable light. They had chemistry.The family: on one hand, yes it’s very difficult to see a family member portrayed on screen, esp.

Whitney’s family is probably trying to get a billions dollars for their ‘version’ of her which will paint her a daily church-going saint, a voice like no other, how Bobby bewitched and tricked their ‘good girl’ into a crackhead and was nothing but a cheating and abusive, can’t keep out of jail deadbeat.People who adore Whitney are going to trash anything that isn’t their version of the person the listened to, saw in concert or held in such high esteem. Why? because no matter what was portrayed on the screen, it was going to be a ‘sanitized’ version of her life. She had a life before Bobby and after him no matter how troubled or brief it was.Full disclosure: i didn’t see the movie. They even skipped the last 10 years of her life.Heck, Bobbi Kris was still a toddler with 10 minutes left in the movie! I was like, so how are they going to wrap this up?Folks were on Twitter praising this movie and talking about how Angela did such a great job, but the Devil is a liar! She did not do a great job, and this movie sucked.And can we talk about Bobby’s interview with Shaun Robinson? I don’t know who is representing homeboy these days, but he really needs to give that person a bonus for getting him a full night of image rehab programming on Lifetime.Whitney was an international superstar, and I do hope that someone is able to bring her story to the big screen in a more balanced film than this mess.
