WHITNEY,The Movie:love,sex,drugs and the pain of fame

The much-talked about Whitney Houston movie came on Lifetime yesterday, who doesn't love Whitney Houston? We have all enjoyed her music, video's, and acting performances. It could honestly be said there was a time she was both the best actress and singer of the moment. Whitney  "had the greatest voice of her generation" according to her producer.

A Review

This movie is controversial at best and completely challenges our belief that bad boy Bobby Brown corrupted an angelic Whitney Houston. Is it possible it was all smoking mirrors and Bobby Brown was actually a much better man than the press gave him credit for, was he the one corrupted and belittled?

For those of you that lived through the era, Bobby Brown was larger than life, 1st in the highly successful boy band, New Edition, and as a solo singer song writer. Hits like "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step" were on the radio 24/7 and the Video's were captivating. What could he have become if his path hadn't crossed with the great Whitney Houston?



The movie stared Yaya DaCosta as Whitney, Arlen Escarpeta as booby brown and was directed by Angela Bassette.

How many of us saw the movie? If you have, please drop your two cents here or even a dollar! lets have some reviews. Thanks.
