I miss this beautiful songbird...Always so graceful, poised and down to earth. No wonder she had Byron, Eddie and Robert Deniro on her tail. She was the IT girl in more ways than one.
Love this whole interview...Nippy was always a sweet natured, mature, down homegirl. Those runs despite the fact that she was under the weather tho ;) She was vocally powerful and refreshing to the ears.
When I was a kid in the 90s, I heard people use "cap on" to mean somebody lying on or joking about something/someone. So I guess "no cap" is a remix of "to cap on."
this interview is amazing! one of her best.. little did she know how big The Bodyguard would be.. and that she'd marry Bobby Brown.. the comments about the sketch are just funny AF... and Robert De Niro... the comments about Mariah were humble, gracious and poised. She always knew talent and didn't feel threatened because she knew she was in a league of her own and wanted them to shine too.. Oh and those runs, she was like mmmhmmm I know I can sang, fuck the Mariah comparisons.
Bryon is giving me a wanna-be tease (Arsenio Hall). Oooh I just love Whitney Houston! She cracks me up! You don't have to do all that dancing when you have the best voice in the world now. Po' Janet was up there just dancin' and lip-syncing. When she was on record, you could barely hear her. I remember listening to One More Chance and didn't even know it was on because she was "singing" so low. 7:39 - 7:46 says it all. Love her arrogance. Mariah came slightly close to sounding like Whitney on that first album. But *live.....* Chile..... Nippy, you didn't really hear it because it was never there. You knew it.
I think Mariah never had the stage confidence back then. You can hear it on her Apollo performances, she's so nervous. Whereas Whitney was raised in nightclubs.
I don't care what anybody says, Whitney and Robert Deniro would've been hot!!! That's a couple I would've seriously, said 'awww,' whenever I saw them as well as root for them.
I like How Whitney didn't say anything negative about Mariah Carey . Who would of thought years later both of them did a Duet together. I think people thought Whitney was jealous of Mariah. But It was never the case.
@@colinphulchand no it was Micheal Narada Walden’s book. I may have spelled that wrong. He talked shit on Whitney and Mariah though and worked with both of them. He did an interview a few years ago saying when he worked with Mariah on her first album he knew she was going to rival Whitney. He then said Whitney gotta a little jealous for awhile. I know about their duet and they were both tricked into doing it which turned out to be the most beautiful friendship ❤️
@strangerthings88 I agree it did turn out to be the best duet and Friendship ever. And Mariah said before Whitney passed a year ago they saw each other at a party and it was fun . I do remember Mariah said when she first started she worked with Michael Narada . Mariah also said that in the beginning they were wanting her in the same direction as Whitney Houston.
@@colinphulchand yeah but also her demos sounded a lot like Whitney. That was just how Mariah sang and they both had this beautiful powerful tone. She said she was denied multiple record deals for sounding to much like Whitney 🤷🏼♀️
People were making jokes from her from the very beggining, people are now respecting her because she hit death spot in people. When she needed support the most people were on the wrong side.
@@Lisa-rl3ob you spend a lot of time replying and bashing Whitney on pages where people are clearly recognizing and appreciating her presence and talent…you ok? 😂😂
@@ImStep-by-Step Find the nearest d to play with not me . Y’all stans always placing blame and holding everybody accountable except for Whitney . It was Whitney who choose to do cocaine with her husband infront of her daughter . Y’all the same Stan’s who tried to blame Bobby for all Whitney problems , then it was the brother , then it was her sexuality like pls . Y’all never say what Whitney could of done to heal herself . Of course she had trauma like everyone else , but the lack of accountability is why she’s not her y’all are part of that reason . Whitney was able to shut down everyone who questioned her drug abuse , because she was Whitney Houston. If Whitney was a regular woman y’all would be calling her all kinds of crack h… Show me the lie !!
I love hearing the story of Whitney & De Niro. Robert De Niro loves him some chocolate and he was chasing her back then. Once you go chocolate you never go back to......
@@shannonallaround9490 Right. She was starting to do The Bodyguard. But she had already released 3 multi platinum albums and world tours. Her star was already shinning bright by the time of this interview.
6:04 Little did she or any of us know how monstrous that movie would be and how her song I Will Always Love You would go on and on and on for the next year.
Whitney was so Classy , Sassy & Witty!She does have rhythm & she's hilairious as well saying,Keenen's sister looks nothing like her,Keenen only won an Emmy bc he capped off of herself & saying Janet's music was loud bc she can't sing!
In the 90's the media and some people started making jokes about her and we are surprise that she became more defensive and shady? She did well, usually she used react when people provoque her !
This is wild. She says she was dating Eddie by this time and had been for two years? Eddie was a babymaking machine in the late 80s. He had already had two children with Nicole prior to 1990. and a a few more with other women. So she was also seeing him during this time? I assumed their relationship had fizzled out way before this. She had met Bobby around 88 or 89 and married him two years later. Damn... fun times in Hollywood.
Yea its really weird. According to Narada Micheal Walden's book Eddie broke up with Whitney right before they started recording IYBT. Not sure if this interview was before or after that.
@@Marqui17 The original commentator has their time line wrong. This was during IYBT period (you can tell by Whitney’s hairstyle) and Whitney and Eddie had broken up by then. She was indeed seeing Bobby Brown.
@Nikki N Again For one: Eddie claims that he and Whitney were never boyfriend and girlfriend, that they were just very very good friends. He even stated this in an interview back in 2012 and her mother Cissy confirmed it to be true. Secondly, Whitney met Bobby Brown back at the Soul Train Awards in 1989 and invited him back to her house. They began dating shortly after that, including during the filming of The Bodyguard and whilst she was recording her studio album I’m Your Baby Tonight. Eddie was not in the picture at all after Bobby came along. I’m not saying what I’ve read, I was an adult who lived during this era and MTV, VH1, BET, ET and a lot of other media were keeping close tabs on Whitney during this time.
@Nikki N Again Hmmm, interestingly enough she said (multiple times I might add) that they are friends. Not once did Whitney say they were dating or in a relationship. She specifically said “FRIENDS”. I love how you’re trying to prove things that never happened lol. I myself actually believe that there was something more than friends but like I’ve always said “unless you were in the bed or under the bed, then you really don’t know...and sometimes under the bed doesn’t count!!”. Your link only shows Whitney saying that her and Eddie were friends. Goodbye.
@@jobuck879 Arsenio, Eddie's best friend confirmed they were dating when she did interviews on his show. He always used to tease her about it. Eddie is lying and he likes to gaslight. All of his exes says he controlling and manipulative. Eddie tells the public that he and Whitney weren't dating but he bought her an engagement ring
I'm confused. I wasn't born during this time. Anytime people go over the timeline with Bobby they always say they started in 89 but then in most of these videos from 89-91 they only mention Eddie 🤔. Also, what was the time period that Bobby dated Janet? I'm lost.
I'm glad Whitney got a chance to "flaunt" her shit a little bit. Obviously, no one could fuck with her vocally, but I'm glad she sucker punched the show regarding her LOOKS too.
Its so funny that when whitney was at her pick of her career there are many people around entertainment who blantanly shade or should i say ignore her talent , they say that whitney don't have a voice and she is always a loud singers hahhahgahha really whitney houston?? This really a big question in that time because even the soul train award they boo whitney, so if whitney is not a singer hahhahgahha so what do you call the thounsand of performer and singer who admire Whitney, they look up to this lady even mariah and celine even legend aretha Franklin and other lengedary singers, so if whitney don't have the voice why she called "THE VOICE" she is correct with her statement I'm in the correct business but wrong people" this statement really true. This lady really got the voice the future and the past is the testimony of her greatness even the worst of her career she always great to deliver the performance, i admire her compassion, she is really a paragon to the world her life is a testimony of god greatness.
So I wonder how much money Kevin Costner got from the bed he had with Robert De Niro. The bet was who can get her 1st to do a movie with them! We all know who won! Kevin Costner got the gold medal with Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard. 🏆
Whitney & Eddie wow & poor Eddie had the nerve to stand Whitney up on a date at the last minute but later when Whitney hooked up with Bobby & got married Old Eddie got jealous and he called her & told her not to get married to Bobby seems like Eddie couldn't make up his mind about Whitney! & Robert De Niro he always luv 💕 to dip into Dark chocolate 🍫 what's up with that he love him some black women from Whitney to Naomi Campbell need I say More So Robert what was your deal for the luv 💕 of Deep chocolate!!! Smh!!
Yeah men were all over Whitney especially in interviews, like Arsenio Hall, Merv Griffin, there was even a British interview where the guy was super drunk and all over her. It was crazy.
Very true but sometimes In standing up for yourself and setting boundaries you will rub ppl the wrong way .you can’t avoid it . I wish she wasn’t so concerned with pleasing everybody
First time I got to see this interview in it’s entirety. I’ve seen it edited to that part where she talks about Mariah. I’ve never felt Mariah “sounded like Whitney.” Mariah actually sounds more like a young Michael Jackson. Whitney was all her own and if there was anyone who secretly had an influence on her “pop” sound, it was Donna Summer. Anyway...it’s hitting that 7 year mark next month on that dreadful Feburary day. I hope it rains everywhere on February 11. Rain...Rain...Rain on that awful date. Because no matter where I am I will be sad...very sad because my Nippy is gone. All At Once.
"THATS MY MUSICAL DIRECTOR, RICKY MINOR RIGHT THERE!!" She ate his punk self up. He didn't do his research properly because he was still salty about her not accepting his advances in the past. After watching this a few times, you can spot when she shut him down because he's still salty and can't even properly interview her. This dude is a whole corn field 😂
Eddie Murphy broke up with her, it wasn't her who broke up with him. She was in love with him, but he just wanted to play with her and he wanted a woman behind the scenes and not to compete with, that's why he married Nicole!
Leo2, Bobby Brown did not turn her out. He did allow her to be her self as she allowed him to be his-self. No one wanted that ultimately untimely death.
