Whitney Houston Reminisces About 80's Music on MTV (2001) |  

How rare is it for someone to have the face and body of a supermodel and once in a lifetime voice? Not to mention her charismatic personality. There will never be another Whitney Houston

She was definitely throwing a lot of lowkey shade at MTV, right in front of MTV. 😂😂 Gotta love Whitney.

To be that blunt, elegant and fine all at the same time. What a gift.

Whitney threw all kinds of shade on MTV up in MTV's face. LOL!

She looks absolutely beautiful here. She had a perfect face!

"I love it when they have no choice." Gotta love Whitney, so eloquent, and she really speaks her mind.

"I love it when they have NO CHOICE, I love it"😁😁😁

Her strength, her shade, her complexity! Whitney was a character!

I love how she praises Martha Wash voice. Martha is one the best underrated singers and pretty who doesn't get the deserved recognition.

“You have to be outstanding to break through the walls.”

So rare , she’s absolutely stunning

Ugh I love the way she talks. Her vocabulary, the cadence, the natural melody in how she speaks.

I LOVE Whitney she was so real.

When my insomnia rages, as it is tonight, I come and listen to her. Her voice never makes me fall asleep because she is so engaging- but it is so soothing - I will miss her and love her until my dying day.

Her face was gorgeous. Nose is a perfect shape.

Wow she was still stunning in 2001 love this interview, she seems like she had a good day, very candid and open but still her sweet self

her speaking voice was like melt butter

Great interview! Definitely one of her realest, and most opinionated interviews. She had a lot to say and elaborate on. And didn't hold back. Love when she said she loves it when they have NO CHOICE but to play her and not deny her. She really took pride in that and that point.

She was so honest and genuine

She looked stunning. She really looked like this was late 1998. I love it!

Forgot how ridiculously beautiful she was.

Damn I love how Whitney's making faces 😀😇 I love her bored, pissed, amuzed, pensive, anything and she was so so ours as were we hers! I miss her 💐✨🐕

I never knew how intelligent she was. I am mesmerized

she has such a distinctive and demonstrative cadence to her speaking voice and her tone can change on a dime.

She was anointed and still is.

I WANT MORE!!!!! Can't get enough of WHITNEY!!!!

“What are your earliest memories of MTV?” “I remember I couldn’t get on. *smiles and laughs*” OOF! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. She was not playing! Lmao! I miss her.

There will never be another you...Great Interview. ..Loved the part where she says :They had to put her on MTV.....👏👏👏👏

She has such a beautiful smile!

Whitney Houston The QUEEN of all artist.❤💕

Very rarely you see a person at Whitneys level praising other people`s talents this way. That says a lot about her personality and how generous she was to others. She Didnt feel threatened at all.

Not only talented. But very insightful. Makes you wonder how it all unfolded.

She was just brilliant.

She was so intelligent and knew so much about the industry unlike many other artists. May her soul continue to rest❤️

She was so tough! A lioness

Besides her extraordinary talent , this interview reminds me of what a gorgeous woman she was . I enjoyed her honesty in this interview and hearing her views about music in general. She definitely knew music . I miss her ❤️

Hard to believe that this interview is in the same year as the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary concert....She looks stunning here.

Thanks Whitney for all your music

Rip to the legend 💯💯💯🙏🙏🏿🙏

she throws shade then smiles after, i want to appear that way in every family gatherings.

I really love ...her voice, diction, pronunciation are great....very intelligent

She was so real. I miss Whitney Houston 💕

She was so beautiful and energetic in this video. its too bad, she couldn't defeat her demons. Miss u Whitney.

I loved the kindness with which she spoke about King George Michael, Martha Wash, and Michael Jackson. Whitney knew she had God-given talent, just like Mariah and that's why all those artist appreciated each other and their music. Whitney will always be missed. Gorgeous and super mega talented.

"We weren't going to accept fake singing." "It shouldn't take opening you legs and giving us tits and ass to be accepted".... Oh Whitney. IF ONLY that was still the case today!!! There aren't enough classy ladies like this in pop anymore. She is much missed.

Nippy gave the best interviews and knew a lot about making great music. 💜🙏🏽

No disrespect to Bobby's artistry, but I don't know if he should be mentioned in the same sentence as a Michael, Madonna or Whitney with regards to MTV's impact. This was pure evidence that Whitney was conscious of his insecurity, thus placing him in the same caliber as herself.

How can you not love her ❤️

She had it all, voice, beauty, elegance, articulate, wits, smarts, humor! I can’t see anyone who will ever top this statue nor would I want to take in. I was 19 when I first saw her 1987 tour in Miami. I couldn’t put in words what I witnessed.we will ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DEARLY….🤗🌹♥️🙏

Whitney was speaking all truths! She almost looked like she was over these questions 😂

.....and they got busted!!!!! Love it!!!!! We need her today she WAS the standard! There will never be another Whitney!!!!!

I love this interview! Displays the things I love about WH: sass, grace, intelligence and wit. But her throat really sounds sore here...

I honestly believe that Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman in the world then now and forever.

Million Dollar Smile 😀

R.I.P. Queen [*]

I'm so glad she had this interview, it is great to hear artist to comment on the 80's take for them at that time..she is phenomenal vocally, socially, great actress, and personable. Thank you Whitney still miss you and listening always your music...forever!!

Whitney is always and will be to this day the greatest singer of all time , the best female to ever do it and also my leo the lioness queen she was born on August 9th I was born on the 20th of August that makes us LEOS.♌️🦁 R.I.P. Whitney Houston.🙏🏽😘

G.ddamn she was gorgeous...

Fascinating interview. Love to hear the professional talking.

Love watching her old interviews.♥️ We still have pieces of her with us forever 😍

This interview is epic, lol. Whitney was throwin MTV mad shade 😂😂😂 and just some of her other comments too, whew, she truly is missed. There will never be another Whitney Houston!!!

I just love her speaking voice. Just love to hear her talk lol

Thanks for posting this. Just to give you younger crowd a bit more of context, in 2001 MTV released a huge special for MTV's 21st anniversary where they went through the history of the channel, pop music and music videos up to that point. There were appearances by guest stars like Mariah and Whitney, and this whole interview is where MTV got all the Whitney appearances from. I wish I could watch Mariah's interview.

She's so real and very blunt Whitney Houston gave no fucks she says whatever with no Filter

That’s my heart!! I just love everything about her. Whitney had the class, the sass, the latent, and the beauty. I love shady Whitney lol, she would read you and you probably not even know it

Love Whitney ....... she is such an AWESOME person. Thanks for your music, we love you.

I have no CHOICE but to LOVE Whitney Elizabeth Houston 💜💜💜💜

She looks and sounds great in this interview

Ever song is like a great painting. It has to tell a story. It is composed of light and dark colors. Mrs Houston was the amazing voice if the 1900s no one could touch her. She reached down inside the heart and moved all your emotions. I can't command the English language well enough to express her greatness with singing. She will always be my favorite. Sure do mess hearing her on the radio. I'm sure she was burnt out by forty five years old. The whole world will suffer from her absence.

It's mindblowing to think that she was that stunning and beautiful despite all the cigarettes and drugs that she did in her life. One might assume that with the type of toxic lifestyle that she had, the damage would be quite noticeable but she was truly a beautiful woman up until her last years. Gorgeous woman!

Whitney was greatest of all time really

Whitney’s gift is the biggest compare to all music industry. Her voice and Gods given talent is universal!

I love me some Whitney! Elegance, beauty, class, talent and down to earth on a real tip wrapped into one. 💞 this interview rocks! She let them have it 😊

Donna Summer was the first black female with “She works hard for the money “ to be in heavy rotation back in 83/84

I love her smile

So effortlessly ! This is why she is the greatest singer to ever exist . Even any singer will tell you that . No one can compare to nippy . NOBODY ! this right here (Which was a rehearsal) To hear that voice live on stage in all its wonder was truly something to witness. Actually, she sounded better live than she did on recordings, if you can imagine that. Live, she had more freedom to express her feelings, and she was able to improvise much more. And the power that came from her voice was amazing; in my opinion, the physical effort that she put into every performance was unequaled. It was said that on stage she never once complained that the drums were too loud or the band was too loud. And if it was, she would just sing over the band, or sing around the band. She had that kind of power and presence.🙌🏻🙌🏻 . Whitney Houston had it all: Stage presence, vocal octave range ,insane phonetic power and control at mid to high chest vocalization, emotion-full diction and a physical beauty that was immensely complemented by her splendid resonance and timbre; all around she became what many people perceived as perfection. Sure, we had amazing singers at the time such as Mariah Carey but somehow all of these women, to a certain extent, lacked the emotion, the vehemence, and the powerful sheer that Whitney's voice was able to convey. Whitney Houston will be remembered as an anointed gift from nature to all humanity, one that we won't be able to experience anytime soon Whitney is a singer beyond compare. She is incomparable, her unique voice and style of singing is so far different from any other and the best VOICE of our time ...RIP #Queen 1963-2012 Whitney Houston

David Bowie is credited as being one of the first (if not the first) white artists to pressure MTV to showcase black artists on MTV. There were no color lines for David Bowie. I applaud him for this.

Let's not forget that Prince, Michael, Whitney and Sade were the very first Black artists to open doors for us

She just had to include Bobby Brown 🙄

I can tell she smells really good!! Such an elegant Queen , we miss you Whitney!!

GOD, I love this woman's intelligence! So, SO smart! I'll always love you Whitney!

Wonderful interview. Thank you for paving the way and breaking down doors! We miss you!

“I was in high school…” That’s code for “Don’t blame me!” 😂

When she was talking about image and etc she was waiting for them to name drop Paula Abdul 😭

I love her piece on Bobbi Kristina ( RIP ) finding her own sexiness naturally. That’s a good parenting lesson.

She hated during interviews lol. She always kept it so real. It sucks that bc don’t really know that’s she’s normally jittery, and outspoken, an they mistake her for being high

Bobby Brown was popular but he was not on the same level as Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson. I know why she felt the need to say that to make him feel that he was on her level of fame. Otherwise, great interview, very insightful, critical and intelligent on the music industry.

Love how Whitney praised Martha Wash while shading C+C Music Factory and others for not giving Martha credit nor allowing her to appear in the videos despite using her vocals on the singles with models lip-synching to her voice

I learnt more from this video then all the years in highschool combined. Kept watching this every year, yet this is gold.

Whitney was so intelligent .

I miss her 😭

She was so articulate. Great interview all around.

This is literally everything! 🔥🖤

Whitney is beautiful, articulate and just handled the interview so well!!!!

All her points FLY with us in 2021 yes queen!!!!

Whitney don’t play. The way she tells it like it is with a smile. Skills 👍

I love this, and how blunt she is over B.S. that went on that shouldn't have.

She looked great in the How Will I Know Video...in.my opinion!

She was brilliant.

Aw, how can she regret her music video for her classic dance hit, "How Will I Know"? That's my FAVORITE music video from her debut album.
